A rent was one of the services in return for which land might be granted. It issued out of the land. It could be distrained for by the lord in whosesoever's hands the land was. It was treated as a thing-a tenement-just like the land.(Holdsworth, "An Historical Introduction to the Land Law", 1927, p. 97).

Private Conveyancing-This is a system of conveying interests in land without recourse to any public records. When a vendor is selling to a purchaser, he simply hands over the title deeds of all his predecessors in title, as well as a deed from himself to the purchaser. If the purchaser is satisfied with the chain of title, the transaction is completed. The purchaser in a private conveyance(as in the registry system) can acquire only the title the vendor held, which depends on the title held by the vendor's predecessors.("An Introduction to Property Law in the Maritime Provinces", 1981, amended to July, 1987, p. 59).

CONT

Extinguishment. The term has, in the law, no fixed, uniform and universal meaning, but varies with the subject matter to which it is applied; but usually it connotes the end of a thing, precluding the existence of future life therein, and has been defined generally as meaning a complete wiping out, destruction, or annihilation, and not a mere suspension; the destruction or cancellation of a right, power, contract, or estate; a discharge by operation of law; a termination; and, more specifically, as the annihilation or extinction of a right by its being consolidated with a greater or more extensive right; the extinction of a charge or equity by its passing into the hands of the owner of the lands charged; and it has been sometimes used in the sense of payment.("Corpus Juris Secundum", Vol. 35, p. 352)

OBS

(extinguishment; extinction:) Both words are nouns corresponding to the verb "to extinguish". If there is differentiation, it is that extinguishment refers to the process, and extinction to the resultant state. Extinguishment means in law "the cessation or cancellation of some right or interest". (Garner, 1987, p. 235)

CONT

Distinction must be made between the duration of the office of executor itself and the duration of the powers of executor over property which comes into his hands as such... Thus, while the powers of the executor over property vested in him may cease so that he becomes what may be called a bare executor, he still remains such...(Williams’ "Law Relating to Wills", 4th ed., 1974, p. 141)

CONT

A nude executor who propounds a testamentary paper, of the validity of which there is no reasonable prima facie probability, cannot escape from the liability of being condemned in costs by the fact that he takes no interest under the document (Widdifield, p. 505)

Power to penalize. No person shall be punished for contempt of the Tribunal unless a judicial member is of the opinion that the finding of contempt and the punishment are appropriate in the circumstances.

To tie the hands of the courts by denying them the power to penalize defendants, who flout contract law in a high-handed and outrageous fashion, is unwise and unnecessary.
