In doing so, however, the legislature did not completely do away with the constituent elements of emphyteusis—namely, the existence of an immovable property, the emphyteuta's right to full enjoyment of the property, the 100-year limit on the duration of the right, and the requirement that the emphyteuta make improvements that increase the value of the property in a significant manner.

OBS

emphyteutic lessee: Since emphyteusis may be established by will, it is difficult to consider the expression emphyteutic lessee—in so far as it suggests a contractual relationship—as an appropriate equivalent to the French term emphytéote.

The best method of approach to a definition of "defamatory" is probably to consider it in relation to the right which the action of defamatory is intended to protect. A person has a right to the enjoyment of his reputation and of the moral and material advantages to which it may entitle him in his relationships with other people-including... "the opportunities of receiving respectful consideration from the world. "Any imputation which tends to infringe this right is defamatory.

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.

"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].

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."

A direct limitation marks the duration of estate by the life of a person; by the continuance of heirs; by a space of precise and measured time; making the death of the person in the first example; the continuance of heirs in the second example; and the length of the given space in the third example, the boundary of the estate or the period of duration. A collateral [i. e. determinable] limitation, at the same time that it gives an interest which may have continuance for one of the times, in a direct limitation, may, on some event which it describes, put an end to the right of enjoyment during the continuance of that time.(Cheshire, 11th, p. 310)

Although at first the "cestui que use" was regarded as merely having a right to compel the feoffees to uses to carry out their duties, the rights of the "cestui que use" were so extensive that it was soon recognized that he had an estate in the land. The legal estate(the bare legal ownership) was in the feoffees to uses, the equitable estate(the beneficial right of enjoyment) in the "cestui que use"...(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 153).

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).

Acción judicial breve y sumaria, destinada a garantizar los derechos y libertades constitucionales distintos de la libertad física (pues ella está protegida por el habeas corpus), que tiene un ámbito distinto del de los procesos ordinarios, por cuanto estos - por su propia naturaleza - no pueden satisfacer la urgencia de la restauración de los derechos presuntamente conculcados, lo cual es un elemento esencial en el proceso de amparo.

CONT

El amparo aparece por primera vez en América Latina en la constitución mexicana de Yucatán de 1840 y luego es retomado en todo su vigor por la de 1917. Esta ley fundamental al igual que la de Brasil, bajo la denominación de mandato de segurança le dan gran fuerza a la institución. Es de destacar la ley orgánica de amparo de Venezuela de 1985, la que constituye un verdadero código en la materia. Pero, a nivel de nuestro continente la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos (Pacto de San José de Costa Rica) prevé la aplicación del amparo en su art. 24 a los países signatarios del mismo. Dicha disposición establece que toda persona tiene derecho a un recurso sencillo y rápido o a cualquier recurso efectivo ante los jueces o tribunales competentes que los ampare contra actos que violen sus derechos fundamentales reconocidos por la constitución, la ley o la presente Convención, aún cuando tal violación sea cometida por personas que actúen en ejercicio de sus funciones judiciales.

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.
