The premises are usually followed by what is commonly called the "habendum", which is really a combination of the "habendum and the tenendum", the latter describing the tenure upon which the land is held. Neither the "habendum" nor the "tenendum" is necessary today, but the "habendum" is used where someone other than the grantee is to have the use.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 1282). 1, record 5, English, - tenendum

Land or real property which is held of another by any tenure. (Oxford, 1933). 1, record 6, English, - tenement
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The word "tenement" is not restricted to lands and other matters which are the subject of tenure. Everything in which a man can have an estate of freehold, and which is connected with land or savours of the realty, is a tenement. Thus the word includes not only land, as the corporeal subject formerly of inheritance, but also all rights which... would have been heritable issuing out of land, or concerning, or annexed to, or exercisable over, land, although they do not lie in tenure....(Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 39, p. 264). 1, record 6, English, - tenement

The connecting link between tenure and the second important feudal concept, the doctrine of estates, was seisin. Seisin means possession, but it refers only to possession of an estate of freehold in land of freehold tenure. Thus, for example, a landlord will always have the seisin whereas the tenant under a lease is regarded as merely having possession.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 25). 1, record 7, English, - seisin
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Seisin is opposed (1) to possession which, in its technical sense, is only applied to leaseholds and other personal property; and (2) to occupation, which signifies actual possession. (Jowitt’s, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1627). 1, record 7, English, - seisin

Ownership, or the right of property is ... not a single indivisible concept but a collection or bundle of rights of legally protected interests. (Brown, 3rd ed., 1975, p. 6). 1, record 8, English, - ownership
Record number: 8, Textual support number: 2 OBS
So long as we remember that the ownership of a material thing is nothing more than a figurative substitute for the ownership of a particular kind of right in respect of that thing, the usage is one of great convenience; but so soon as we attempt to treat it as anything more than a figure of speech, it becomes a fertile source of confusion of thought. (Salmond, "Jurisprudence", 8th ed., p. 279). 1, record 8, English, - ownership
Record number: 8, Textual support number: 3 OBS
The doctrine of tenure... means that "land cannot be the subject-matter of ownership, though the person in whom its seisin is vested is entitled to exercise proprietary rights in respect of it". But anyone can have full ownership of chattels and forms of purely personal property.(Crossley Vaines, 5th ed., 1973, p. 40). 1, record 8, English, - ownership

This paper explores how institutions of property rights and collective action play a particularly important role in the application of technologies for agriculture and natural resource management. Those technologies with long time frames tend to require tenure security to provide sufficient incentives to adopt, while those that operate on a large spatial scale will require collective action to coordinate, either across individual private property or in common property regimes. In contrast to many crop technologies like high-yielding variety seeds or fertilizers, natural resource management technologies like agroforestry, watershed management, irrigation, or fisheries tend to embody greater and more varying temporal and spatial dimensions. Whereas the literature addressing constraints and enabling factors for rural technology adoption have largely focused on their direct effects on crop technologies, the conceptual framework presented here shows how property rights and collective action interact with many other constraints to technology development(such as wealth, information, risk, or labor availability). 2, record 9, English, - rural%20technology

[...] le développement de la technique rurale, le mouvement général de dispersion, le regroupement des terres et l'amenuisement des villages conduisent à une dilution humaine sur les finages qui représente un réel danger social. Ce danger est d'autant plus grand que toute dilution exagérée rend non rentable l'application de certains progrès sociaux et techniques basés sur les groupes denses, donc risque de provoquer une nouvelle désaffectation des campagnes. 1, record 9, French, - technique%20rurale
