In Roman law things were classified("inter alia") as immovables("res immobiles" or "res soli") and movables("res mobiles"), and the division exists in modern times in most Continental systems of law.... In the English Courts the classification is adopted for the purposes of private international law where questions of conflict arise.... In these cases immovable property falls to be governed by the "lex situs", i. e., the law of the place where the property is situate....(Crossley Vaines, 3rd ed., 1975, pp. 14-15) 1, record 13, English, - immovable%20property

A gratuitous loan is a class of bailment called "commodatum" in the civil law, and denominated by Sir William Jones as a loan for use (prêt à uage), to distinguish it from mutuum, a loan for consumption. (Jowitt, p. 1110) 1, record 14, English, - gratuitous%20loan
Record number: 14, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Nature of gratuitous loan for use. In deposit and mandate the bailor has all the advantages of the bailment. In gratuitous loan for use the reverse is the case. This is a bailment where a chattel is lent by its owner to the bailee for the express purpose of conferring a benefit upon the bailee, without any corresponding advantage to its owner. By English law this agreement is confined to goods, chattels or personal property, and does not, as under the Roman civil law, extend to real estate.(2 Hals., 4th, p. 849) 1, record 14, English, - gratuitous%20loan

The common law(means) the whole law of England, including ecclesiastical law and maritime and mercantile law, as administered in England, as distinct from that of other countries, particularly those based on the Roman law. Hence, in the context of comparative law, a common law system is one based fundamentally on English common law, as distinct from a civil law system, based on the civil law of Rome.(Oxford Companion to Law, 1980, p. 253) 3, record 17, English, - common%20law

Pour les esclaves, il existait également un type de mariage : le contubernium auquel le maître devait consentir. Le contubernium consistait en une union de fait qui pouvait être rompue par la simple volonté du maître. Ce n'est que tardivement que les liens de parenté de l'esclave furent respectés. Cette union restait sans effet juridique et n'avait d'autre but que d'empêcher des mariages ultérieurs entre parents lors de l'éventuel affranchissement d'une famille. 3, record 19, French, - contubernium

One trained and licensed to prepare, manage, and either prosecute or defend a court action as an agent for another and who also gives advice on legal matters that may or may not require court action. Many of the terms listed above may be used interchangeably depending on the jurisdiction. These titles, and the rank and powers attributed to them, vary significantly from province to province and from state to state, thus necessitating a careful check of the pertinent jurisdiction's usage before choosing a term for a legal text. The following trends may be noted. "Lawyer" is a generic term. "Counsel", frequently used in Canada, may be a general term, or may refer more specifically to a lawyer who can plead in court. A "barrister" is a courtroom lawyer as opposed to a "solicitor" who is basically an office lawyer.(In Canada, both of these functions may be carried out by the same person). In some jurisdictions, "attorney" is used as a synonym of "lawyer", but in others, "attorney" becomes synonymous with "solicitor". Moreover, an "attorney-at-law" may sometimes plead in court. "Advocate" is the general word for a lawyer in Roman law jurisdictions(i. e. Quebec). 3, record 23, English, - lawyer

International regimes are sometimes compared to so-called servitudes, which is a term used in international law on an analogy with Roman law to mean a charge on premises in favour of the owner of another piece of land. In international law the term refers to permanent restriction on the jurisdiction over a piece of territory in favour of rights conceded to another State. Examples can be seen in the difference between the frontiers which are drawn for political and for customs purposes in various parts of the world. 2, record 25, English, - international%20servitude

By no means did the Prague school restrict itself to phonology. Indeed, Roman Jakobson and his colleagues were driven by a lust to write about nearly every aspect of language, from phonology to poetry, and about a large band of languages as well. Invading the field of psychology, Jakobson(1941) sought to apply his interest in sound laws to a wide variety of populations. He discerned a sequence of sound development in normal children, one that follows what he called the law of maximal contrast; and he went on to demonstrate that this developmental progression is reversed in an orderly way as a result of damage to the human brain. Jakobson showed, furthermore, that the same kinds of contrast that had worked for the description of phonology could also be applied to choices made at other linguistic levels, ranging from syntax to pragmatics. And in a fertile methodological contribution, Jakobson pointed out that most linguistic contrasts are not equivalent or reversible. 1, record 28, English, - law%20of%20maximal%20contrast

The first table of the value of a life annuity of which we have any record, called the Ulpian Table(devised by a great Roman jurist, Ulpianus), arose out of the Falcidian Law. This law, enacted in B. C. 40, prevented a testator leaving more than three-quarters of his property to others than his legal heirs. It therefore became necessary to set a value on any legacies which were in the form of annuities payable for a fixed term or for life. 1, record 29, English, - Ulpian%20Table

The term "postliminium" is borrowed from the Roman Law(...). Applied to modern practice the doctrine denotes that territory, persons and property, after having come under the authority of the enemy, revert to the authority of the original sovereign upon retaking possession. However, acts of the enemy involving the captured person or property while in the enemy's possession are not necessarily invalidated if under international law the occupant was competent to perform them. 1, record 30, English, - postliminium

"Dans les rapports des États belligérants, le postliminium n'a pas [...] pour effet de rétablir rétroactivement leurs droits, puisque l'occupant, sans anéantir ceux de l'État occupé, ne fait que les exercer à son profit tant que dure son occupation [...] Aussi, après la paix, l'État momentanément dépouillé de l'exercice de ses droits souverains le reprend intégralement". 1, record 30, French, - postliminium
