Occupier's Liability Notice, the notice which the owner of land out of which tithe rent-charge issues is required, by sub-s. 6 of s. 2 of the Tithe Act, 1891, to give to the owner of the tithe rent-charge of the liability of the occupier of the land, under a contract made before the Act, to pay such tithe rent-charge to such owner of land.

Any cheque and other liability
Any cheque and other liability, In s. 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 phrases 'Any cheque' and 'other liability' are the two key expressions which stand as clarifying the legislative intent so as to bring the factual context within the ambit of the provisions of the statute.

Acknowledgment of debt or liability
Acknowledgment of debt or liability, is an admission that a debt is due or that some claim or liability is still in existence, so as to prevent the operation of the Statute of Limitations. The precise form of acknowledgment necessary in any particular case depends on the terms of the relevant statute. An acknowledgment or part payment after the statutory period will not revive a barred claim to land under s. 34 of the (English) Real Property Limitation Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Will. 4, c. 27), Kibble v. Fairhorne, (1895) 1 Ch 219, but an acknowledgment at anytime before action brought will revive actions, on debt grounded on simple contract, if in writing under 9 Geo. 4, c. 14, and for money charged on land under s. 40 of the Real Property Limitation Act, 1833: see re Clifden, Annaly v. Agar Ellis, 1900 (1) Ch 774. See LIMITATIONS, STATUTE OF....
