Jurisdiction, is a verbal coat of many colours. Jurisdiction originally seems to have had the meaning which Lord Reid ascribed to it in Anisminic Ltd. v. Foreign Compensation Commission, (1969) 2 AC 147, namely, the entitlement 'to enter upon the enquiry in question, M.L. Sethi v. R.P. Kapur, (1972) 2 SCC 427: (1973) 1 SCR 697.Jurisdiction, legal authority; extent of power; declaration of the law.

Lodger
Lodger, a tenant, with the right of exclusive possession, of a part of a house called lodgings, the landlord, by himself or an agent, retaining general dominion over the house itself.Lodgings may be let in the same manner as lands and tenements; in general, however, they are let either by agreement in writing or verbally. An executory verbal agreement may be void by the (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 40; and see Edgev Strafford, (1831) 1 C. & J. 391, as being a contract in relation to land, and a written agreement is often desirable to avoid dispute.Lodgers in rooms which have been let as a separate dwelling to them, unfurnished, may be tenants of a dwelling-house for the purpose of the (English) Rent Restrictions Acts, 1920, 1935, and if that dwelling or the house of which the rooms form parties not decontrolled, their tenancy is within those Acts (see INCREASEOF RENT). As to rent-books generally, in small houses, see (English) Housing Act, 1936, s. 4, and Part IV of that Act...
Notice to quit
Notice to quit. Where there is a tenancy from year to year subsisting, it can only be put an end to by notice to quit, which may be given by either party, and must be given one half-year previously to the expiration of the current year of tenancy, so as to expire at the same period of the year in which the tenant entered upon the premises. This rule is to be invariably followed in all cases, except where there is some special agreement between the parties to a different effect, or where a particular local custom intervenes, or where the (English) Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923, applies, in which case, by s. 25 of that Act, a notice must be given to terminate the tenancy twelve months from the end of the then current year of the tenancy.Where the term of a lease is to end on a precise day, there is no occasion for a notice to quit previously to bringing an action of ejectment because both parties are equally apprised of the termination of the term. If a tenant continue in possession by...
