Lien
Lien [answering to the tacita hypotheca of the Civil Law], a right in one man to retain that which is in his possession belonging to another, until certain demands of the person in possession are satisfied. It is neither a jus in re, nor a jus ad rem--i.e., it is not a right of property in the thing itself, or right of action to the thing itself.It is either particular, as a right to retain a thing for some charge or claim growing out of, or connected with, the identical thing; or general, as a right to retain a thing not only for such charges or claims, but also for a general balance of accounts between the parties in respect to other dealings of the like nature.General and particular liens may arise: (1) by an express contract; (2) by an implied contract, resulting from the usage of trade, or the manner of dealing between parties. General lines are not favoured in law, but some judicially recognized general lines are bankers', solicitors', factors', stockbrokers'. See Halsb. L.E., ti...
Magna Carta
Magna Carta, [Latin 'great charter'] The English charter that King John granted to the barons in 1215 and Henry III and Edward I later confirmed. It is generally regarded as one of the great common-law documents and as the foundation of constitution liberties. The other three great charters of English Liberty are the Petition of Right (3 Car. (1628)), the Habeas Corpus Act (31 Car. 2 (1679)), and the Bill of Rights (1 Will. SM. (1689)). Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property. The barons assembled at St.Edmund's Bury, in Suffolk, in the later part of the year 1214, and there solemnly swore upon the high alter to withdraw their allegiance from the Crown, and openly rebel, unless King John confirmed by a formal charter the ancient li...
Possession is nine points of the law
Possession is nine points of the law. This adage is not to be taken to be true to the full extent, so as to mean that the person in possession can only be ousted by one whose title is nine times better than his; but it places in a stronger light the legal truth that every claimant must succeed by the strength of his own title and not by the weakness of his antagonists. For instance, if the claimant be able to show a descent from the grantor of the estate, perfect except in one link of the chain, and the man in possession be a perfect stranger, the latter shall keep the estate; and so, also, if the claimant be a natural son of the last owner and adopted by him, and declared by him to be designed as his heir, yet if he dies without making a will in his favour, a stranger in possession has a better title. In Beddall v. Maitland, (1881) 17 Ch D p. 183, Sir Edward Fry, speaking of the statute 5 Rich. 2, stat. 1, c. 8, which makes a forcible entry an indictable offence, says: 'This statute c...

Mortgage
Mortgage [fr. mort, Fr., dead, and gage, pledge], a deed pledge; a thing put into the hands of a creditor.A mortgage is the creation of an interest in property, defeasible (i.e., annullable) upon performing the condition of paying a given sum of money, with interest thereon, at a certain time. This conditional assurance is resorted to when a debt has been incurred, or a loan of money or credit effected, in order to secure either the repayment of the one or the liquidation of the other. the debtor, or borrower, is then the mortgagor, who has charged or transferred his property in favour of or to the creditor or lender, who thus becomes the mortgagee. If the mortgagor pay the debtor loan and interest within the time mentioned in a clause technically called the proviso for redemption, he will be entitled to have his property again free from the mortgagee's claim; but should he not comply with such proviso, the legal estate becomes perfected in the mortgagee, i.e., indefeasible, and so los...
Distributive justice
Distributive justice, 'distributive justice' is the prototype of justice. In it we have found the idea of justice, towards which the concept of law must be oriented.' Law offers and protects the conditions necessary for the life of man and his perfection. In the words of Cardozo, 'what we are seeking is not merely the justice that one receives when his rights and status are determined by the law as it is; what we are seeking is a justice to which law in its making should conform.' The sense of justice will be stable when it is firmly guided by the 'pragma' of objective and subjective interests, Gurbax Singh v. Financial Commissioner, AIR 1991 SC 435 (441): 1991 Supp (1) SCC 167....
