Valuation list. By the (English) Rating and Valuation Act, 1925, in England outside the county of London, a list of all the rateable hereditaments in a rating area (and not in a parish) is to be prepared by the rating authority, i.e., the council of every county, borough, or urban and rural district to whom all powers of the overseers of the poor in regard to the levying and collection of rates were transferred by s. 1 of the (English) R. and V. Act, 1925, for the purposes of a general rate. A draft list is drawn up after requiring returns from the owner, occupier or lessee of every hereditament in the area. The draft list is revised by the assessment committee appointed by the rating authority for the area and is then transmitted to the rating authority, by whom it is deposited for public inspection at the office of the authority. Appeals may be made within twenty-five days from the date of deposit, and the lists are quinquennial and conclusive evidence of the value of the hereditamen...
Assessment Committee
Assessment Committee. This is a statutory committee for the purpose of making out the valuation list on which the poor rate is based. See VALUATION LIST and POOR LAWS. The committee is appointed and acts by virtue of the Rating and Valuation Act, 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 90). See s. 17 and First Sched. When the valuation list has been published, objection may be taken and relief asked for from the committee. The notice of objection must be in writing and give the general grounds relief on R. v. London Justices, (1897) 1 QB 433; R. v. Essex Justices, (1902) 1 KB 180. The committee has no power to administer an oath or to order costs. An appeal lies from the committee to the local Quarter Sessions, Imperial and Grand Hotels Co. v. Christchurch Union, 1905 (2) KB 239 (27 of 1957)....

A committee of the board of guardians of every union, consisting of not less than six nor more than twelve, having jurisdiction to revise the valuation lists framed by the overseers of each parish for the purpose of rating to the poor rate. See (English) Union Assessment Committee Acts of 1862 and 1864 (25 & 26 Vict. c. 103, and 27 & 28 Vict. c. 39), by the latter of which there can be n appeal against a poor rate to quarter sessions without previous notice of the objection of the appellant to the assessment committee, and failure to obtain relief from such committee.

Tithe Rent-Charge
Tithe Rent-Charge. A charge on land, substituted by commutation for that charge on the produce of the land for the benefit of the Church, which was called tithe from being the tenth part of the increase yearly arising and renewing from the profits of lands, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the inhabitants; the first species being usually called pr'dial, the second mixed, the third personal.This commutation was effected by a procedure set on foot by the (English) Tithe Act, 1836 (6 & 7 Wm. 4, c. 71), amended by subsequent Acts. See Chitty's Stat., tit. 'Tithe Rent-Charge.' The amount to be paid was annually adjusted, according to the price of corn.The commutation was effected in one of two ways-either by a voluntary parochial agreement, con-firmed by the commissioners, or by the compulsory award of the commissioners. The value, either voluntarily agreed upon or awarded by the commissioners, was considered as the amount of the total rent-charge to be paid in respect of ...

Valuation
Valuation, is a process which does not end on marks being awarded by an examiner, Sanjay Singh v. U.P. Public Service Commission, (2007) 3 SCC 720.Means the act or process of valuing, Jensen v. Jensen, 458 NW 2d 391 (1990).This term is generally applied to the equivalent in money of any kind of property. Thus for the payment of estate duty, a valuation of property of all kinds has to be made. Perhaps the most important and the most difficult valuation is that of land. This has almost invariably to be undertaken whenever land is compulsorily acquired. The difficulties that surround this question were fully considered in the case of Re Lucas and Chesterfield Gas and Water Board, (1909) 1 KB 16, in which Lord Justice Moulton in the course of his judgment said (at p. 29):-'The principles upon which compensation is assessed when land is taken under compulsory powers are well-settled. The owner receives for the lands he gives up their equivalent-that is, that which they are worth to him in m...

Black list
Black list. The term given to any list of persons with whom the person or body compiling the list advises that no one should have dealings of the character indicated. Thus the list of defaulters on the Stock Exchange is so named, and various societies and individuals also publish lists with a similar purpose. By s. 6 of the Licensing Act, 1902 (2 Edw. 7, c. 28), there is power to put an 'habitual drunkard,' if he consents [Commissioner of Metropolitan Police v. Donovan, (1903) 1 KB 895], on a list kept by the police, and this renders him liable to a penalty on summary conviction for obtaining intoxicating liquor within three years, and the licensee or other person supplying him is also liable. See DRUNKENNESS.The publication of a black list may constitute a libel if it conveys a defamatory and untrue meaning. 'Black lists are real instruments of coercion, as every man whose name is on one soon discovers to his cost, Quim v. Leathem, 1901 AC 538; see also Ware & De Freville, Ltd. v. Mot...
