Bond
Bond [fr. binda, band, bunden, A. S., to bind], a written acknowledgement or binding of a debt under seal. See DEED. No technical form of words is necessary to constitute a bond; see Gerrard v. Clowes, (1892) 2 QB 11; Strickland v. Williams, (1899) 1 QB 382. The person giving the bond is called the obligor, and he to whom it is given the obligee. A bond is called single (simplex obligatio) when it is without a penalty, but there is generally a condition added, that, if the obligor does or forbears from some act, the obligation shall be void, or else shall remain in full force, and the bond is then called a double or conditional one; see Dav. Prec. Vol. V., pt. Ii., p. 268. When a bond contains a penalty, which is generally double the amount of the principal sum secured, only the sum actually owing, with interest, can be recovered, and in no case can this exceed the amount appearing on the face of the bond. See 8 & 9 Wm. 3, c. 11, s. 8; Re Dixon, (1900) 2 Ch 561.Although it is unnecessa...
Truck Acts (1831 to 1896)
Truck Acts (1831 to 1896) (English) (1 & 2 Wm. 4, c. 37; 50 & 51 Vict. c. 46, and 59 & 60 Vict. c. 43), the Truck Act, 1831, the Truck Amendment Act, 1887, and the Truck Act, 1896, passed to prevent the payment of wages in goods instead of in money. The plan had been for masters to establish warehouses or shops, and the workmen in their employ have either had their wages accounted for to them by supplies of goods from such depots, without receiving any money, or they have had the money given to them with an express understanding that they were to resort to the warehouses or shops of their masters for the articles of which they stood in need. This system is made illegal by the Truck Acts. A deduction from wages in respect of damages awarded to an employer in an action is a violation of these Acts, Williams v. North's Navigation Collieries, 1906 AC 136....
