Notice
Notice, the making something known to a person of which he was or might be ignorant. Notice is either (1) statutory; (2) actual, which brings the knowledge of a fact directly home to the party; or (3) constructive or implied, which is no more than evidence of facts which raise such a strong presumption of notice that equity will not allow the presumption to be rebutted. [S. 154, I.P.C. and Art. 61(2)(a) const. 56 Indian Evidence Act]Constructive notice may be subdivided into: (a) where the facts of which actual evidence is supplied give rise to a further enquiry which a man exercising ordinary caution would make equity has added constructive notice of the facts, which that inquiry would have elicited; and (b) where there has been a designed abstinence from inquiry for the very purpose of avoiding notice. See CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE.A purchaser with notice may protect himself by purchasing the title of another bona fide purchaser for a valuable consideration without notice; for, otherwise, ...
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...

Hobson, (1896) 2 Ch 403; Gresham Assurance Society v. Crowther, (1915) 1 Ch 214.By the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 11:(1) It shall not be necessary to register a memorial of any instrument made after the commencement of this Act in any local deeds registry unless the instrument operates to transfer or create a legal estate or to create a charge thereon by way of legal mortgage; nor shall registration of a memorial of any instrument not required to be registered affect any prior...
Priority
Priority, an antiquity of tenure in comparison with another less ancient; also that which is before another in order of time.As to priority among creditors, see (English) Admin-istration of Estates Act, 1869, reproduced by ss. 32 to 34, (English) Administration of Estates Act, 1925, and the First Sch., which provides that in the administration of the estate of any person who shall die on or after 1st January, 1870, no debt or liability of such person shall be entitled to any priority or preference by reason merely that the same is secured by or arises under a bond, deed, or other instrument under seal, or is otherwise made or constituted a specialty debt.The priority in legal and equitable assignments of equitable choses in action are determined accord-ing to the date of receipt of notice by the persons who are for the time being owners of the legal interest in the property assigned. Before 1926 the notice might be verbal; after 1926 it must, for the purposes of establishing priority a...
Land charge
Land charge, means a rent or annuity or principal moneys charged otherwise than by deed upon land under (English) Act of Parliament for securing to any person, the money spent by him, or under that Act, as a charge under the Land Drainage Act, 1861 (see DRAINAGE), or s. 20 of the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923, for repayment of compensa-tion of tenant's improvements. See s. 4 of the Land Charges Registration and Searches Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 51), by s. 12 of which a 'land charge,' created after the commencement of that Act-i.e., after 1st January, 1889-is void against a purchaser for value of the land charged therewith, unless it has been registered in the 'Register of Charges,' in the manner mentioned in that Act, since transferred to the Land Registry by virtue of the Land Charges Act, 1900 (63 & 64 Vict. c. 26), repealed by the Land Charges Act,1925. By this Act the system of compulsory registration of charges over land has been greatly extended and no purchaser of land woul...
Debenture
Debenture [fr. debeo, Lat., to owe] may be defined generally as a charge in writing [not necessarily sealed, see British India, etc., Co. v. Commissioners of Inland Revenue, (1881) 7 QBD 165] of certain pro-perty with the repayment at a time fixed of money lent by person therein named at a given interest, but the term is a very elastic one. The word 'debenture' is of ancient origin and appears to have been in use five centuries ago (Palmer's Company Precedents, Pt. III., p. 1); and a document which, though it mentions to security and is only a promise to pay, is properly described as a debentures, and as a marketable security will require to be stamped as such, Spenyer v. Inland Revenue Commissioners, (1907)1 KB 246. By the (English) Companies Act, 1929, s. 380, a debenture is defined as including debenture stock, bonds or other securities of a company whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not. The charge created by debentures as a rule is fixed on the company's...
Caution
Caution, a species of bail; security. When used in this sense, the word is pronounced 'cayshon.'--Scots Law. In England, any warning. A prisoner or accused person is 'cautioned' before making a statement, that such statement may be used in evidence upon his trial.Caution.--Under the (English) Land Registration Act, 1925, ss. 54 to 56, is a notice to the Registrar in the nature of a caveat to the effect that the cautioner is entitled to be served with a notice of any application for the registration of an interest in registered land affecting the cautioner. Registration, as a rule, will to be effected until a reasonable time (usually 14 days) has elapsed after service of notice, or the cautioner has entered an appearance. Cautions may be lodged against first registration to protect unregistered mortgages, contracts for purchase, the vesting of equitably settled estates and other purposes. Cautions to protect unregistered mortgages under s. 106 of the (English) L. R. Act, 1925, confer a ...
Equity of redemption
Equity of redemption. Before 1926 the equitable estate or interest left in a person after he had mortgaged his property. Now the right to call for a reconveyance of a legal estate or of an equitable interest in property from the mortgagee on payment of principal, interest and costs. A mort-gagee, although he has become absolute owner of a legal estate in the mortgaged property, on account of the breach of the condition for repayment of the loan within the strict time, is nevertheless compelled to reconvey the legal estate to the mortgagor, who applies to redeem it, on payment of the principal, interest, and costs, Equity treating the breach of the condition as a penalty, and the retention for the mortgagee's own benefit of that which was intended simply as a pledge, as contrary to substantial justice.The right or equity of redemption is an essential attribute of a mortgage; it is inherent in the thing itself, and any provision inserted in the mortgage to defeat the right is void as a '...
Equitable mortgage
Equitable mortgage, a mortgage under which the mortgagee does not get the legal estate. The following mortgages are equitable:-(1) Where the subject of a mortgage is trust property, which security is effected either by a formal deed or a written memorandum, notice being given to the trustees in order to preserve the priority. As a rule these mortgages include mortgages (not being mortgages of a legal estate) under a trust for sale or settlement which are not registrable under the (English) L.C. Act, 1925, s. 10, Class C.(2) Where the subject of the mortgage is an equity of redemption, which is merely a right to bring an action in the Chancery Division to redeem the estate. Now under the (English) L.P. Act, 1925, Sched. I., Parts VII. (1), (3), and VIII. (1), (3), and see ss. 85, 86, ibid., a mortgagor retains a legal estate in fee simple or for a term of years, and the first and subsequent mortgagees out of that estate each have a legal mortgage.(3) Where mortgages created before 1925 ...
