Emergency
Emergency, means a situation which is not normal, a situation which calls for urgent remedial action. Break-down of the Constitutional machinery in a State does gives rise to a situation of emergency, S.R. Bommai v.

Fairs
Fairs [fr. foire, Fr.; forum nundin', Lat.]. these institutions are very closely allied to markets. A fair is a greater species of market, recurring at more distant intervals. No fair can be held without a grant from the Crown, or a prescription which supposes such grant. Before a patent is granted it is usual to have a writ of ad quod damnum executed and returned, that it may not be issued to the prejudice of another fair or market already existing. The grant usually contains a clause that it shall not be to the hurt of another fair or market; but this clause, if omitted, would be implied; for if the franchise occasion damage, either to the Crown or a subject, in any respect, it will be revoked; and a person whose ancient title is prejudiced is entitled to have a scire facias in the King's name to repeal the letters-patent. If His Majesty grant power to hold a fair or market in a particular place, the lieges can resort to no other, even though it be inconvenient. But if no place be ap...
Guaranty, or Guarantee
Guaranty, or Guarantee, a promise to a person to be answerable for the payment of a debt or the performance of a duty by another, in case he should fail to perform his engagement. An offer to guarantee until it be accepted is not binding. At Common Law a guarantee need not have been in writing, but the Statute of Frauds (29 Car. 2, c. 3), s. 4, enacts that 'No action shall be brought whereby to charge the defendant upon any special promise to answer for the debt, default, or miscarriages of another person, unless the agreement upon which such action shall be brought, or some memoran-dum or note thereof, shall be in writing, and signed by the party to be charged therewith or some other person thereunto by him lawfully authorized.' In case of guarantees, great inconvenience had resulted from the construction put upon the above s., viz., that the consideration for the promise of the guarantor must appear upon the written instru-ment. To remedy this, the Mercantile Law Amend-ment Act, 1856...
Husband and wife
Husband and wife. the Common Law treated them, for most purposes, as one person, giving, with exceptions comparatively unimportant, the whole of a woman's property to her husband for his absolute use, and a husband could not make a grant to his wife at the Common Law, though he might do so: (1) under the Statute of Uses, by granting an estate to another person for her use; (2) by creating a trust in her favour; (3) by the custom of particular places; (4) by surrendering copyholds to her use; and (5) by will.Equity, however, from very early times, by the doctrines of 'separate use,' 'trusts,' and 'equity to a settlement,' very largely modified the Common Law in favour of the wife; and the statute law has, by s. 1 of the Law Reform (Married Women and Tortfeasors Act), 1935 (25 & 26 Geo. 5, c. 30), almost completely abolished the property distinction between an unmarried and a married woman. See MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY.At Common Law, a gift of either realty or personal-ity to a husband a...
Invention
Invention, 'invention' means any manner of new manufacture and includes an improvement and an allied invention'. [s. 2(8) of 1911 Act.] It is to be noted that unlike the Patents Act, 1970, the Act of 1911 does not specify the requirement of being useful in the definition of 'invention'. But Courts have always taken the view that a patentable invention, apart from being a new manufacture, must also be useful. The foundation for this judicial interpretation is to be found in the fact that s. 26(1)(f) of the 1911 Act recognises lack of utility as one of the grounds on which a patent can be revoked, M/s. Bishwanath Prasad Radhey Shyam v. Hindustan Metal Industries, AIR 1982 SC 1444: (1979) 2 SCC 511.Means a new produan inven-tive step and capable of industrial application. [Patents Act, 1970 (39 of 1970), s. 2 (1) (j)]...
Letters-patent, or letters overt
Letters-patent, or letters overt [fr. liter' patentes, Lat.], writings of the sovereign, sealed with the Great Seal of England, whereby a person or public company is enabled to do acts or enjoy privileges which he or it could not do or enjoy without such authority. They are so called because they are open with the seal affixed and ready to be shown for confirmation of the authority thereby given. Peers are sometimes created by letters-patent, and letters-patent of precedence were granted to barristers. By letters-patent aliens are made denizens, and especially new inventions are protected; hence the incorporeal chattel of patent-right.A 'patent-right' is a privilege granted by the Crown to the first inventor of any new contrivance in manufactures, that he alone shall be entitled, during a limited period, to make Articles according to his own invention--Statute of Monopolies, 21 Jac. 1, c. 3.To be the subject of a patent-right an article must be material and capable of manufacture, an i...
Licence
Licence [fr. licentia, Lat.], a permission given by one man to another to do some act which without such permission it would be unlawful for him to do. It is a personal right, and is not transferable, but dies with the man to whom it is given. It can as a rule be revoked by the licensor unless the licensee has paid money for it (Odgers on the Common Law, pp. 25, 574). As to the nature and effect of the licence granted to the purchaser of a ticket for a theatre or other similar entertainment, see Hurst v. Picture Theatres, (1915) 1 KB 1, and the authorities there referred to, and Allen & Sons v. King, (1916) 2 AC 54. It may be either written or verbal; when written, the paper containing the authority is often called a licence. A licence amounting to or coupled with an interest in an incorporeal hereditament must be under seal [see Wood v. Leadbitter, (1845) 13 M&W 838], or it may be revocable, but see Lowe v. Adams, (1901) 1 Ch 598.A licence is necessary before doing many acts, as to ma...
Revocation and new appointment
Revocation and new appointment. The appoint or may reserve a power of revocation and new appointment in the deed of appointment, although not expressly authorized so to do by the assurance creating the power; and such a power may be reserved toties quoties. By a revocation the original power revives. When a deed of appointment contains no power of revocation it is absolute and cannot be revoked, although there be a power of revocation in the assurance creating the power. When a power is executed by will, an express power of revocation need not be reserved, since a will is always revocable. Consult Sugden or Farewell on Powers....
