Hypothecation [fr. hypotheca, Civ. Law, a pledge in which the pledges retained possession of the thing pledged, as distinguished from pignus, where the possession was transferred to the pledge. See Sand. Just; Sith's dict. of Antiq., tit. 'Pignus'], the act of pledging a thing as security for a debt or demand without parting with the possession. There are few cases, if any, in our law where an hypothecation in the strict sense of the Roman Law exists. The nearest approaches, perhaps, are the cases of holders of bottomry bonds, and of seamen to whom wages are due in the merchant service, who have a claim against the ship in rem. But these are rather cases of liens or privileges than strict hypo-thecations. There are also cases where mortgages of chattels are held valid, without any actual possession by the mortgage, but they stand upon very peculiar grounds, and may be deemed exceptions to the general rule.It means a charge in or upon any movable property, existing or future, created by...
Plant
Plant, has been defined as the tools, machinery, fixtures, buildings, grounds, etc. of a factory or business; the apparatus or equipment for a certain mechanical operation or process, Steel City Beverages Ltd. v. State of Bihar, (1996) 1 Pat LJR 868.Plant, has frequently been used in fiscal and other legislation. It is one of a fairly large category of words as to which no statutory definition is provided ('trade', office even 'income' are others), so that it is left to the court to interpret them. It naturally happens that as case follows case, and one extension leads to another, the meaning of the word gradually diverges from its natural or dictionary meaning. This is certainly true for plant, I.R.C. v. Scottish & Newcastle Breweries Ltd., (1982) 1 WLR 322: (1982) 2 All ER 230: 55 TC 252 (HL).Plant, in the relevant sense, although admitted not a term of art, and therefore part of the general English tongue, is not, in this sense, an ordinary word, but one of imprecise application, an...

Chattels or catals
Chattels or catals [fr. Catalla, Lat.; chatel, Fr.; chaptel, Old Fr.]. The word 'catalla' among the Normans primarily signified only beasts of husbandry or, as they are still called, cattle, but in a secondary sense the term was extended to all movables and not only to these but to whatsoever was not a fief or feud or, at a later date, in the nature of freehold or parcel of it. The distinction in the class of chattels survives in the legal meaning of the terms, 'personal chattels,' denoting movable property and 'chattels real,' which concern the realty, such as terms of years of lands or tenements, wardships, the interest of tenant by statute staple, by statute merchant, by elegit, and such like, Co. Litt., 118 b.Chattels personal or in a more narrow and more modern sense, 'chattels' (cf. 'goods and chattels' in the writ of fieri facias) (q.v.), means movable property or effects which belong personally to the owner and for which if they are injuriously withheld from him he has, in gene...
Gift
Gift. The old text-writers made a gift (donatio) a distinct species of deed, and describe it as a conveyance applicable to the creation of an estate-tail; while a feoffment they strictly confine to the creation of a fee simple estate. The operative verb was 'give,' which no longer implies any covenant in law (Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), s. 4), replaced by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 59(2), and the deed required livery of seisin. It is obsolete. See Jac. Law Dict.A gift is now understood to mean a mere voluntary assurance or transfer of property without any consideration being given for it. Such a transaction is apt to be very jealously scrutinized in a Court of Equity, and will be set aside on proof of undue influence (see that title), or of a fiduciary relationship of the donee to the donor, see Huguenin v. Baseley, (1806-8) 14 Ves 273; W. & T. L.C.; Morley v. Loughman, (1893) 1 Ch 736 (757); Lyon v. Home, (1868) LR 6 Eq 655. In the absence of any such objectio...

A widower's right in his deceased wife's separate movable estate, historically two-thirds if there were surviving children, and otherwise one-half, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 867.Jus relicti. This right was introduced by the (English) Married Women's Property (Scotland) Act, 1881 (44 & 45 Vict. c. 21), s. 6, of which enacts that the husband shall take the same share and interest in his wife's movable estate which is taken by a widow in her deceased husband's movable estate....
