Record 2 2013-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

A profit appurtenant ... is a profit, whether several or in common, which by act of parties, actual or presumed, is annexed to some nearby dominant tenement and runs with it. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 823).

CONT

"Profits à prendre appurtenant" are "against common right" : they are rights attached to the ownership of a particular piece of land, not as the necessary consequence of the original tenure, but because of a grant, prescription or other extraneous means. They cannot be severed or enjoyed apart from the dominant tenement, and they pass with the dominant tenement into the hands of each successive owner.(14 Hals., 4th, p. 119)

  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (common law)

Record 3 2012-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

Common of pasture appurtenant is a right annexed to certain lands, by virtue of which the owner of those lands feeds cattle on the soil of another person; it differs from the right of common appendant in all the characteristics which arise from the connection of the latter with the socage tenure of ancient arable land in a manor; it may, therefore, be held by holders of estates formerly copyhold or by strangers to a manor, and may arise by grant or prescription since "Quia Emptores", 1289, and is not necessarily confined to such beasts as are generally commonable but may extend to swine, goats or geese.(Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 387)

Record 4 2012-10-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
CONT

The Statute "Quia Emptores" forbade alienation by subinfeudation and removed all restraints on alienation by substitution of an estate in fee simple that had previously existed. The statute is in force in all the common law jurisdictions of Canada.... the statute has been described as a pillar of real property law, for it still operates, whenever a person sells his land, to put the purchaser in the vendor’s place. (Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 114)

OBS

The alternative to subinfeudation was substitution. B might grant to C not by creating a new tenure but by letting C step into his shoes so that C became, and B ceased to be, tenant of A.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 30
