In early law, property was deemed "real" if the courts would restore to a dispossessed owner the thing itself[, ] and not merely give compensation for the loss... Consequently, a distinction was made between real property(or "realty"), which could be specifically recovered, and personal property(or "personalty"), which was not thus recoverable. In general, all interests in land are real property, with the exception of leaseholds[, ] which are classified as personalty.

Under time charter parties, the charterer appoints the port agent and it is open to the owner to also appoint his own protective agent to represent his interests. However, it appears that few owners choose to incur this expense and the selected agent is therefore considered as being the ship's agent in a general sense, and is therefore also the owner's agent. These two separate duties can give rise to a conflict of interest.

Dans le premier cas, l'entrepreneur titulaire reste responsable de tous les travaux vis-à-vis du maître d'ouvrage; dans le second, la responsabilité du mandataire pour les travaux des autres cotraitants cesse à l'expiration de la période de garantie contractuelle.

CONT

A la limite, l'entrepreneur qui a traité un marché en «entreprise générale» aurait en principe seul la responsabilité de la coordination entre les ouvriers des divers corps d'état qui relèvent soit de divers départements de son entreprise, soit d'entrepreneurs sous-traitants. Mais dans ce cas même la coutume veut qu'il obtienne pour les mesures qu'il envisage, l'accord du maître de l'œuvre, afin de lui permettre de contrôler plus aisément l'exécution des travaux et de rendre compte utilement de l'avancement des travaux au maître de l'ouvrage.

The word "title" has over the years acquired a meaning in general use which is normally thought of as covering all of the interests of an owner in land. We find that the word is used as, "I have surveyed this man's title" and "The title to this man's land is free of encumbrances. "In these two examples, the word "title" has a completely different meaning. In the first instance, "title" is intended to mean extent of title, the boundaries of the land. And in the second instance, "title" is intended to mean the chain of title, the factors which affect the ownership of the land... In legal surveying and land ownership, the word "title" should be qualified or explained by defining it as either "Chain of title"-the province of the lawyer, or "Extent of title"-the province of the surveyor.(Lamont, "Real Estate Conveyancing, "1976, pp. 552-553).

Title is a common term used to denote the facts which, if proved, would enable a person to recover or retain possession of something. (Reilly, p. 480)

OBS

The term "title" has been described as the means whereby the owner of lands has the just possession of his property. It is often used as a synonym for ownership and, in general, this terminology causes little difficulty. However, it should be remembered that the common law did not recognize allodial title, that is to say, ownership of the land. Rather it recognized tenurial title, which means ownership of an estate in land held either directly or indirectly from the Crown. Hence, it is more accurate to say that "title" connotes the lawful right of possession of an estate in land.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 1258)

In the case of the soil of navigable rivers there may be also public rights incidental to the right of navigation, such as fixing moorings and anchoring. As regards the right of access, it is settled that in general a riparian owner on a navigable river has, subject to the public right of navigation, the same right of access to the river as such an owner has on a non-navigable river.(Gale on Easements, 14th ed., 1972, p. 237).

... the megastructure to which the contract related was design-built. This meant that tenders were called for, contracts were entered into with the Owner and work was commenced before all of the details of the structure or of the work involved in the various phases of construction was decided upon, such details being conceived, planned and established from the general design as the work progressed. It was established that this method of construction was fairly common nowadays for large construction projects and that the main reason for this method of construction being adopted is to enable an owner to get on with the project much sooner and save many months and sometimes years of detailed planning and designing otherwise required for very large projects before tenders could be called for.

Screening liability is a rarely requested form of coverage which provides coverage under a CGL for all contractors employed by one Owner or General Contractor. The coverage is not specific to a single construction project but may apply to all contractors working at a single operating location such as a gas plant or pulp and paper plant. The contractors covered by the policy are usually mechanical, electrical, welding, plumbing and gas-fitting contractors : classes we’re not usually too keen on.
