Simply stated the right of superficies is an exception to the general rule of accession... resulting in the ownership by an individual of a thing situated on, over or under the land of another.

Le propriétaire superficiaire possède des droits étendus sur la superficie. Par ailleurs, l'étroite relation de voisinage qui existe, sur le plan vertical, entre le superficiaire et le tréfoncier exige que certains droits soient accordés au superficiaire sur le tréfonds. Le propriétaire superficiaire détient sur la superficie qui lui est allouée toutes les prérogatives habituellement reconnues au propriétaire (usus, fructus, abusus, accessio).

DEF

... data that are cross-classified by sex, presenting information separately for men and women, boys and girls.

OBS

Sometimes referred to as gender-disaggregated data, sex-disaggregated data reflect roles, real situations, general conditions of women and men, girls and boys in every aspect of society. For instance, the literacy rate, education levels, business ownership, employment, wage differences, dependents, house and land ownership, loans and credit and debts. When data are not disaggregated by sex, it is more difficult to identify real and potential inequalities.

Subject field(s)
  • Stock Exchange
CONT

Direct listings are an alternative to initial public offerings(IPOs) in which a company does not work with an investment bank to underwrite the issuing of stock. While forgoing the safety net of an underwriter provides a company with a quicker, less expensive way to raise capital, the opening stock price will be completely subject to market demand and potential market swings. In a direct listing, instead of raising new outside capital like an IPO, a company's employees and investors convert their ownership into stock that is then listed on a stock exchange. Once the stock is listed shares can be purchased by the general public …

OBS

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)
