Lloyd's
Lloyd's. in the second half of the seventeenth century a number of merchants, ship-owners, and insurance brokers were accustomed to meet in Lloyd's Coffee House in the City of London. From these meetings arose the present association of underwriters, which is famous throughout the world as a centre of marine insurance. Shipping intelligence of all kinds is collected by Lloyd's agents all over the world and forwarded to London. Signal stations have been established under the provisions of (English) Lloyd's Signal Station Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 29). Derelict ships have to be reported to Lloyd's (Derelict Vessels (Report) Act,1896 (59 & 60 Vict. c. 12)).

Besides marine insurance, almost any risk can be covered there, and by the Assurance Companies Act,1909 (9 Edw. 7, c. 49), ss. 28 and 33, members of Lloyd'...

Dearle v. Hall
Dearle v. Hall. The rule which takes its name from this case, reported 1823, 3 Russ. 1, originated with the bankruptcy rule conferring the priority of assignments of choses in action according to the date of notice to the debtor by the assignment, Ryall v. Rowles, 1 Ves Sess 348. Before 1926 the rule was that the priority of equitable assignments of debts and other choses in action was determined by priority in date of notice to the trustees or other owners of the legal interest in the property assigned, see Ward v. Duncombe, 1893 AC 369. The rule did not extend to equitable interests in land except to proceeds of land held on trust for sale, see Lloyd's Bank v. Pearson, (1901) 1 Ch 685, and QUI PRIOR EST TEMPORE POTIOR EST JURE. S. 137 of the Law of Property Act, 1925, has extended the rule to dealings with equitable interests in land, capital money (see s. 205(1)(xxvi.) of the Act), and securities representing capital money effected after 1925. To effect priority among competing assi...
