visa validity
visa validity This generally means the visa is valid, or can be used from the date it is issued until the date it expires, for travel for the same purpose for visas, when the visa is issued for multiple entries. The visa expiration date is shown on the visa. Depending on the alien's nationality, visas can be issued for any number of entries, from as little as one entry to as many as multiple (unlimited) entries, for the same purpose of travel. If you travel frequently as a tourist for example, with a multiple entry visa, you do not have to apply for a new visa each time you want to travel to the U.S. As an example of travel for the same purpose, if you have a visitor visa, it cannot be used to enter at a later time to study in the U.S. The visa validity is the length of time you are permitted to travel to a port-of-entry in the United States to request permission of the U.S. immigration inspector to permit you to enter the U.S. The visa does not guarantee entry to the U.S. The Expi...
Recovery
Recovery, the obtaining a thing by judgment or trial.The regaining or restoration of something lost or taken away, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 1280.A true recovery is an actual or real recovery of anything, or the value thereof, by judgment; as if a man sue for any land or other thing movable or immovable, and gain a verdict or judgment.A feigned recovery. An abolished common assurance by matter of record, in fraud of the statute De Donis, whereby a tenant-in-tail in possession enlarged his estate-tail into a fee-simple and so barred the entail, and all remainders and reversions expectant there-on, with all conditions and collateral limitations annexed to them, and subsequent charges sub-ordinate to the entail. But incumbrances on the estate-tail equally affected such fee-simple, and any estate or interest prior to the entail remained undisturbed.This assurance consisted of two parts: (1) The recovery itself, which was a fictitious rea action in the Court of Common Pleas, carr...

Law
Law [fr. lage, lagea, or lah, Sax.; loi, Fr.; legge, Ital.; lex, fr. ligo, Lat., to bind], a rule of action to which men are obliged to make their conduct conformable. A command, enforced by some sanction, to acts or forbearances of a class: see Austin's Jurisprudence; 1 Bl. Com. 38. A principle of conduct may be observed habitually by an individual or a class. When sufficiently formulated or defined to be observed uniformly by the whole of a class it may become a custom; or it may be imposed on all individuals who consent or are unable to resist its application and the sanction or penalty which is imposed for non-compliance, and in that case it becomes a law. If, in addition, the law and its sanction are imposed by, or by authority of a sovereign, the law becomes 'positive' (see Austin's Jurisprudence). Short of positive law the principle may be called a moral or social law. Generally speaking, jurisprudence is concerned only with positive law, and law in its ordinary legal sense mean...
Privilege
Privilege, a privilege is the opposite of a duty, and the correlative of 'no-right', Isha Valimohamad v. Haji Gulam Mohamad and Haji Dada Trust, AIR 1974 SC 2061 (2065): (1974) 2 SCC 484: (1975) 1 SCR 720. [Bombay Rents Hotels and Lodging House Rates (Control) Act, 1947 s. 51(1)(ii)]An exceptional or advantage; an exemption from some duty, or attendance, to which certain persons are entitled, from a supposition of law, that the stations they fill or the offices they are engaged in, are such as require all their care; and that, therefore, without this indulgence, it would be impracticable to execute such offices so advantageously as the public good requires.The separate privileges of either House of Parlia-ment are extensive, but they are at the same time uncertain and indefinite. Amongst those privileges are, the power of committing persons to prison; the power of publishing matters which, if not issuing from such high authority, might become the subject of proceedings in a Court of la...
Coparceners or parceners
Coparceners or parceners. The name given to persons who until 1926 inherited an inheritable estate by virtue of descents from the ancestor which conferred on them all an equal title to it. It arose by act of law only, i.e., by descent, which, in relation to this subject was of two kinds:-(1) Descent by the common law, which took place where an ancestor died intestate, leaving two or more females as his co-heiresses; these, according to the canon of real property inheritance, all took together as coparceners or parceners, the law of primogeniture not obtaining among women in equal relationship to their ancestor: they were, however, deemed to be one heir; and (2) descent by particular custom, as in the case of gavelkind lands, which descended to all the males in equal degree, as the sons, brothers, or uncles of the deceased intestate ancestor; in default of sons, they descended to all the daughters equally.Coparceners had a unity though not an entirety, or necessarily an equality, of int...
Shelley's case, Rule in
Shelley's case, Rule in. intimately connected with the quantity of estate which a tenant may hold in realty, is the antique feudal doctrine generally known as the rule in Shelley's Case, which is reported by Lord Coke in 1 Rep. 93 b (23 Eliz.in C.B.), and elaborately examined by Lord Macnaghten in Van Grutten v. Foxwell, 1897 AC 658.The rule has been abolished by the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 131, in the construction of all instruments coming into operation after 1925; but the rule governs the construction of all instruments which have come into operation before the 1st January, 1926.The rule may be described thus: Where a life free-hold, either legal or equitable in realty (whether of freehold or copyhold tenure), is limited by any assurance to a person, and by the same assurance the inheritance of the same quality, i.e., either legal or equitable, is limited by way of remainder (with or without the interposition of any other estate) to his heirs or the heirs of his body...
Registration of title of land
Registration of title of land. The (English) Land Registration Act, 1925 (15 Geo. 5, c. 21), repeals and re-enacts the (English) Land Transfer Acts, 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 87) and 1897 (60 & 61 Vict. c. 65), with amendments in keeping with innovations which were introduced by the property laws of 1925. Its object is to simplify the indicia of land ownership and transfer by mere inscription and transcription in a register. The advantages which are claimed for the system are (a) purchasers for value of an absolute or good leasehold title are absolved from any inquiry into the title other than it is shown to be on the register; (b) certain equitable claims which would be binding on the land under the general law and cannot be removed or over-reached without onerous formalities do not affect such purchasers; (c) the method of conveyance or charge is simple; (d) subject to the statutory provisions, registration guarantees the title to purchasers for value and mortgagees. It should be observ...
Hereditaments
Hereditaments, every kind of property that can be inherited; i.e., not only property which a person has by descent from his ancestors, but also that which he has by purchase, because his heir can inherit it from him. The two kinds of hereditaments are corporeal, which are tangible (in fact, they mean the same thing as land), and incorporeal, which are not tangible, and are the rights and profits annexed to, or issuing out of, land. It includes money held in trust to be laid out in land [Re Gosselin, (1906) 1 Ch 120].Any property that can be inherited; anything that passes by intestacy, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 730.The enumeration of incorporeal hereditaments in Hale's Analysis (p. 48) is the following:-Rents, services, tithes, commons, and other profits in alieno solo, pensions, offices, franchises, liberties, villains, dignities. But Blackstone enumerates ten principal kinds:-Advowsons, tithes, commons, ways, offices, dignities, franchises, corodies or pensions, annuities,...
