Licence
Licence [fr. licentia, Lat.], a permission given by one man to another to do some act which without such permission it would be unlawful for him to do. It is a personal right, and is not transferable, but dies with the man to whom it is given. It can as a rule be revoked by the licensor unless the licensee has paid money for it (Odgers on the Common Law, pp. 25, 574). As to the nature and effect of the licence granted to the purchaser of a ticket for a theatre or other similar entertainment, see Hurst v. Picture Theatres, (1915) 1 KB 1, and the authorities there referred to, and Allen & Sons v. King, (1916) 2 AC 54. It may be either written or verbal; when written, the paper containing the authority is often called a licence. A licence amounting to or coupled with an interest in an incorporeal hereditament must be under seal [see Wood v. Leadbitter, (1845) 13 M&W 838], or it may be revocable, but see Lowe v. Adams, (1901) 1 Ch 598.A licence is necessary before doing many acts, as to ma...
