Occupier's Liability Notice, the notice which the owner of land out of which tithe rent-charge issues is required, by sub-s. 6 of s. 2 of the Tithe Act, 1891, to give to the owner of the tithe rent-charge of the liability of the occupier of the land, under a contract made before the Act, to pay such tithe rent-charge to such owner of land. Unless this notice (which is styled an 'occupier's liability notice' by r. 3 of the Tithe Rent-charge Recovery Rules, 1891) is served as required by the Tithe Act, 1891, the landowner may not recover from the occupier any sum which he has paid for tithe rent-charge, without a certificate from the County Court 'that there was good and sufficient cause for the failure to give such notice, and that the occupier has not been prejudiced thereby.' For form of notice, see Thring's Tithe Act, 1891 p. 58, and now, generally, the (English) Tithe Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5 & 1 Edw. 8, c. 43), s. 20(3) (Transitional Provisions)....

Equity to a settlement (Wife's)
Equity to a settlement (Wife's). Prior to the Married Women's Property Acts (see MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY), the law permitted a husband to possess himself absolutely of the whole of his wife's personal property and the rents and profits, during the coverture, of her realty; the consequence of which was that the wife, however great her fortune, might be left destitute. Whenever, therefore, he or any person claiming in his right was obliged to come into a Court of Equity for the recovery of the wife's property, the Court, as the price of its assistance, required him to make a settlement of some portion of it in favour of the wife and her children, the rule being to settle one-half in ordinary cases, but the whole if the husband were insolvent or had deserted his wife or there had been a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his adultery, Barrow v. Barrow, (1854) 5 De GM&G 782; Morgan v. Morgan, (1854) 2 Eq Rep 1270. The (English) Married Women's Property Act, 1882, by leaving a wife's...

King's Counsel
King's Counsel, barristers appointed counsel to the Crown, and called within the Bar. They answer in some measure to the advocates of the revenue, advocati fisci, among the Romans. They must not be employed against the Crown without special licence, which is not refused unless the Crown desires to be represented by the individual in the case. Each King's Counsel had a small salary, but it is not so now. Under 13 & 14 Vict. c. 25 (repealed by (English) Stat. Law Rev. Act, 1875), they might act as judges of assize when named in the commission, and may, and often do, act as such judges, as being 'persons usually named in the commission' under s. 29 of the (English) Jud. Act, 1873, and being expressly authorised so to be named by s. 37 of that Act. See now (English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 70; see ADVOCATES, FACULTY OF....

Disposition of the company's property
Disposition of the company's property, where a company pays a creditor by cheque between the date of petition and the winding up order against the company, it is illogical to hold that there is an additional disposition in favour of the bank where the company is in credit prior to payment of the cheque and the bank, in paying the cheque, debits the cheque against the company's credit balance with the bank, Hollicourt (Contracts) Ltd. v. Bank of Ireland (CA), (2001) Ch LR 555.A control for the disposition of land and an effected disposition; that the expression 'sold, leased or otherwise disposed of by a disposition' was not apt to include a contract to make a disposition of land but referred only to a disposition which had actually been effected, Boyoumi v.
