Quiet enjoyment

Quiet enjoyment. A qualified covenant for quiet enjoyment is usually inserted in leases and excludes the implied covenant, which is far more extensive.

Self appraisal

Self appraisal, the method of performance appraisal is based on the self-appraisal by the officer concerned.

Finally the higher reviewing authority decides the assessment by weighting both the employee's self-appraisal and the remarks given by the reporting officer, A.P. State Financial Corpn. v. C.M.
