Interest
Interest, an interest for the purposes of the regula-tion was not limited to a direct financial interest and included membership of a panel such as the panel of which the claimant's solicitors were members that, therefore, the Claimant's Solicitors had had an interest in recommending the insurance which they recommend to her; that, in the circumstances, there had not been sufficient disclosure of that interest; and that, accordingly, there had been a material breach of regulation 4(2)(e)(ii) and the conditional fee agreement was unenforceable [See (English) Conditional Fee Agreements Regulation, 2000 (SI 2000/692), reg. 4(2)(c)(e)(ii)], Garrett v.

Fixtures
Fixtures. Things of an accessory character which are not something which is part of the original struc-ture, Boswell v. Crucible Steel Co., (1925) 1 KB 119, annexed to houses or lands, which become, immediately on annexation, part of the realty itself, i.e., governed by the same law which applies to the land, in conformity with the maxim quicquid plantatur solo, solo cedit. The application of this legal principle, however, is not uniform, as may be thus shown:(1) Between landlord and tenant. If the chattels be not let into the soil, they are not fixtures at all, and may be removed at will, like any other species of personal property. When the chattel is connected with the free-hold, by being let into the earth, or by being cemented or otherwise united to some erection attached to the ground, the question arises-when may the tenant remove such fixtures?The general rule as to annexations made by a tenant during the continuance of his term is the following-Whenever he has affixed anything...
Idem sonans
Idem sonans (sounding alike). A wrong or unsuit-able name. The courts will not set aside proceed-ings on account of the mispronunciation or mistake of names sounding alike, unless substantial in-justice has been done. See Reg. v. Mellor, (1858) 27 LJQB 121, where on a trial for murder it was discovered after conviction that Joseph Henry Thorne and William Thorniley, having both been on the panel, William Thorniley had by mistake answered to the name of Joseph Henry Thorne, and been sworn. Seven judges to six held that the conviction ought not to be set aside, two of them only on the ground of want of jurisdiction in the Court for Crown Cases Reserved (see CROWN CASES RESERVED); and see also Wells v. Cooper, (1874) 30 LT 721, where in an action of trespass Thomas Cox, a special juror, served by mistake for Thomas Fox on a common jury. And see MISNOMER....
