ENJOYMENT AS RIGHT [20 records]

English

Subject field(s)

  • Property Law (common law)
DEF

The disturbance of a tenant’s enjoyment of all or any material part of the leased premises by act of the landlord or by claim of a superior title. (Reilly, 2nd ed., 1982, p. 170).

OBS

"Eviction, "from "evincere, "to evict or dispossess by course of law, was used originally when the person having the permanent title asserted it and expelled his tenant. But that sort of eviction is not absolutely necessary in order to operate as a suspension of the rent, and the word is now used when that has been done which deprives the tenant of the enjoyment of the premises, and the rent is therefore suspended, and the right of the landlord to recover it is gone. [Stroud, 4th ed., 1971, p. 951].

OBS

While it properly applies only to realty, by a loose extension [eviction] is sometimes applied to the ousting of a person from the possession of chattels, and even from office. [31 "Corpus Juris Secundum," p. 807].

An ancillary easement is a use necessary for the full enjoyment of a profit a(sic) prendre. The ancillary easement may be distinguished from the "secondary" easement, the latter being a right to go upon a servient tenement to maintain and repair or otherwise perform such acts as are necessary to the full enjoyment of the easement. The ancillary easement, on the other hand, is a right incident to the power to take the property, subject of the profit a prendre(sic).(Cartwright, 1972, p. 71).

An estate in land may exist in one of three different ways: in possession, in remainder or in reversion. An estate in possession gives an immediate right to possession.... (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 47)

A remainder is... described as limited to take effect, in possession, or in enjoyment, or in both, after the regular expiration of another estate. For a vested remainder has already taken effect in right or interest, and therefore it has only to take effect in possession or enjoyment, or in possession and enjoyment.(Fearne, 10th ed., 1844, p. 55)

A future interest is an interest in property in which the right to possession or enjoyment of the property is postponed to a future time. Nevertheless, it is a presently existing interest in the property and it is thus part of the total ownership of the property. The fact that a future interest is a presently existing interest implies that it confers present, as well as future, rights and obligations.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 335)

CONT

A doctrine of estates which measured interests in land in terms of duration and recognized that interests could arise successively as segments of an ultimate estate in fee simple invited the working out of a law of future interests. "A future interest may be described as an interest in land or other things in which the privilege of possession or of enjoyment is future and not present. It should be emphasized that the interest is an existing interest from the time of its creation, and is looked upon as a part of the total ownership of land or other thing which is its subject matter."

The basis of prescription is that if long enjoyment of a right is shown, the court will strive to uphold the right by presuming that it had a lawful origin. Thus the court may presume, on proof of the fact of long enjoyment that there once was an actual grant of the right, even though it is impossible to produce any direct evidence of such a grant. It is then "the habit, and in my view the duty, of the court, so far as it lawfully can, to clothe the fact with right". "The court is endowed with a great power of imagination for the purpose of supporting ancient user. "(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 841).

A state may grant a right of exclusive use over a part of its territory to another state, retaining sovereignty, but conceding the enjoyment of the liberties of the territorial sovereign. Such a grant may be described as a "lease"... these grants do constitute privileges, and in principle their incidence depends on the consent of the territorial sovereign. In most cases where military and naval bases have been established by agreement the result is more akin to a contractual licence than it is to an interest in land in the English sense.
