English

Subject field(s)

Record 5 2013-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

The fact, "simpliciter", that the parties to an instrument are described as "assignor" and "assignee" does not make the instrument, which in substance is a sub-agreement of sale, an assignment. There is no privity of contract between the head-vendor and a sub-purchaser. A sub-agreement does not operate as an assignment of the head agreement but is a separate and independent contract, and, thus, a sub-purchaser has no direct claim against the head-vendor and he is thus free to impose such terms as he sees fit as consideration for a transfer directly from himself to the sub-purchaser.(Di Castri, 2nd ed., 1975, p. 413)

Record 6 2012-05-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Indigenous Peoples (General)
DEF

Office or rule or a chieftain or chief.

CONT

The man who became chief was the one who proved best qualified to ensure his group's survival. As the Amerindians usually lived scattered throughout the forest, this role often fell upon the male head of a family if the need was felt. This leadership was based on wisdom and experience, rather than authority. The chieftainship was also handed down from father to son, with the agreement of the other members of the group.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Peuples Autochtones (Généralités)
DEF

Régne ou pouvoir souverain que possède un chef autochtone.

CONT

Chez les Attikameks d'autrefois, la chefferie n'existait pas sous la forme qu'on lui connaît aujourd'hui. Devenait chef celui qui se révélait le plus apte à assurer la survie de son groupe. Comme les Amérindiens vivaient le plus souvent dispersés dans la forêt, ce rôle revenait fréquemment aux patriarches familiaux si le besoin s'en faisait sentir. La sagesse et l'expérience, plus que l'autorité, constituaient la base de ce leadership. La chefferie se transmettait généralement de père en fils avec l'accord des autres membres du groupe.
