Restitutio in integrum
Restitutio in integrum, the rescinding of a contract or transaction, so as to place the parties to it in the same position, with respect to one another, which they occupied before the contract was made, or the transaction took place. The restitutio here spoken of is founded on the edict.

In order to entitle a person to the restitutio, he must have sustained some injury capable of being estimated, in consequence of the contract or transaction, and not through any fault of his own, except in the case of one who is minor xxv.

Reserving points of law
Reserving points of law. It was long the practice for a judge at the assizes to reserve points of law for consideration by the full Court (for which he was sitting as Commissioner) at Westminster, and this practice, recognised by s. 34 of the Common Law Procedure Act, 1854, which conferred a right of appeal, was kept up by s. 46 of the Judicature Act, 1873, and R.S.C. Ord. XXXVI., r. 22, of the Rules of 1875. But s. 17 of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, 1876, and R.S.C. Ord. XXXVI., r. 22A (now rescinded), substituted for this procedure the argument of the point on 'further consideration' before the judge himself, and now by R.S.C. Ord. XXXVI., r. 39, the judge shall, at or after trial, direct judgment to be entered as he shall think right, and no motion for judgment shall be necessary.As to the reserving points of law at sessions or assizes, see Crown Cases Act, 1848; Judicature Act, 1873, s. 47 [see now Jud. Act, 1925, s. 31 (1) (a)], and Judicature Act, 1875, s. 19 [see now (English...

Remainder
Remainder [fr. remanentia, Lat.], that expectant portion, remnant, or residue of interest which, on the creation of a particular estate, is at the same time limited over to another, who is to enjoy it after the determination of such particular estate.After 1925 remainders can operate only as equitable interests, and in that manner they can be created in respect of personality as well as realty. The follow-ing explanation of legal remainders has been retained as relating to titles to land existing before 1926, and see (English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 4, as to the construction of equitable interests.A remainder may be limited in all freehold estates, but not strictly and technically in chattels real and personal, although these may be limited over after a previous limitation or a partial interest in them. It may be limited by way of use (which is, in practice, the usual method), as well as by a conveyance deriving its effect from the Common Law.In the same land there may at the sa...
