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...
Grounds

Apart from con-clusions of facts, 'grounds' have a factual constituent, also. They must contain the pith and substance of primary facts but not subsidiary facts or evidential details.

State of J&K, AIR 1974 SC 2337: (1975) 3 SCC 545.Grounds mean all the basic facts and materials which have been taken into account by the detaining authority in making the order of detention and on which therefore, the order of detention is based, Khudiram Das v.

Actio personalis moritur cum persona.
Actio personalis moritur cum persona. A personal action dies with the person, i.e., the right to sue is gone. 'As if battery be done to a man, if he who did the battery or the other die, the action is gone' (Noy, 9th Edn., p. 20). This maxim states the general rule that actions of tort are destroyed by death of either the injured or the injuring party. Besides the statutory exceptions mentioned below, an action may be brought by the personal representatives of a deceased person for injury done to his property in his lifetime. It has also been applied to actions arising out of contracts of a purely personal nature, e.g., promise to marry, Finley v. Chirney, (1880) 20 QBD 494, or to write a book or paint a picture, See Leake on Contracts; Broom's Max.; Twycross v. Grant, (1877) 4 CPD 40; Phillips v. Homfray, (1993) 24 Ch D 439; and Jones v. Simes, (1890) 43 Ch D 607 as to injunction.This rule of the Common Law has been encroached upon by various statutes; by 4 Edw. 3, c. 7, as to trespas...

Arrangements between debtors and creditors
Arrangements between debtors and creditors. The 125th and 126th sections of the (English) Bankruptcy Act, 1869, which repealed an Act of 1861, allowed liquidation by arrangement and composition with creditors by resolutions passed at similar representative meetings to take the place of proceedings in bankruptcy. The (English) Bankruptcy Act, 1883, having repealed the Act of 1869 without re-enacting these clauses, arrangements with creditors outside the law of bankruptcy became common, and in order to legalize and regulate these arrangements, the (English) Deeds of Arrangement Act, 1887, was passed and amended in 1890 by 53 & 54 Vict. c. 24. The law has now been consolidated by the (English) Deeds of Arrangement Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 47), which repeals the Act of 1887, and also parts of the Bankruptcy and (English) Deeds of Arrangement Act, 1913, and contains practically the whole statute law on the subject. The Act is divided into five parts: (1) defining the deeds of arrangement...
