Code, a collection or system of laws. The collection of laws and constitutions made by order of the Emperor Justinian is distinguished by the appellation of 'The Code' by way of eminence. See CIVIL LAW.The Code Napoleon, or Civil Code of France, pro-ceeding from the French Revolution, and the administration of Napoleon while First Consul, effected great changes in the laws of that country. Framed in the first instance by a commission of jurists appointed in 1800, this Code, after having passed both the tribunate and the legislative body, was promulgated in 1804 as the 'Code Civil des Francais.' When Napoleon became emperor, the name was changed to that of Code Napoleon, by which it is still often designated, though it is now styled by its original name of Code Civil. A Code de Procedure Civile, a Code de Commerce, Code d'Instruction Criminelle, and Code Penal were afterwards compiled and promulgated under Bonaparte's administration. To these was sub-sequently added a Code Forestier, or...

Gross total income

Gross total income, in view of s. 47(viii), the com-pensation which become payable to the appellant as a result of the acquisition of its agricultural land in 1962, was totally exempt from s. 45. Con-sequently, it did not amount to 'income' within the scope of section 2(24)(vi) as there was no capital gain within the meaning of s. 45. It was also not to be included while computing the total income of the appellant as defined in s. 2(45) of the Act. Thus, the amount of compensation received by the appellant could not have formed part of the 'gross total income' within the meaning of section 109(iv) of the Act, Income Tax Act, 1961 ss. 2(24)(vi), 2(45), 45, 47(viii) and ss. 109(iv) & (i); Delhi Farming & Construction (P) Ltd. v.

Law of Property Act, 1925 (English)

Law of Property Act, 1925 (English) 915 Geo. 5,c. 20), with amending Acts, 1926, 1929 and 1932 (cited together as the Law of Property Acts, 1925 to 1932), has consolidated and effected changes in the land laws with the object of simplifying the transfer and conveyance of land. An important change was the abolition of all legal estates or tenures in land, except an estate in fee simple in possession, and a term of years absolute in or in certain incorporeal hereditaments arising out of annexed to or charged upon the legal estate in land. Any number of these legal estates can exist in respect of the same piece of land or incorporeal hereditament; for instance, land may be held in fee simple, leased and mortgaged at the same time. all other estate and interests inland are reduced to equitable interests. All mortgages of the same legal estate under the statutory conditions are legal estates. None being for the whole fee simple or the term, but each for a term taken out of the fee or origin...

Puisne mortgage

Puisne mortgage. In the legal phraseology which was used before 1926 meant a mortgage sub-sequent to the mortgage of a legal estate, but for the purposes of the Land Charges Act, 1925, s. 10 (1) (Class C.), it is enacted that 'puisne mortgage' means any legal mortgage (including the first) of a legal estate not being a mortgage protected by a deposit of documents relating to the legal estate affected and (if the whole of the land affected is within the jurisdiction of a local deeds registry) not registered there. These mortgages, if created after 1925, must be registered at the Land Charges Registry, Red Lion Square, or they will lose priority; see, further, MORTGAGE CHARGE. Mortgages created before 1926 may be registered before transfer. This amounts to notice, but even this notice will not prevent tacking on further advances by a prior mortgagee if that mortgagee has not seen the register at the date of the first advance or has no other actual or direct notice. See TACKING.Under the ...
