  • Aboriginal Law
DEF

[A] communal right of Aboriginal peoples to occupy and use the land inhabited by their ancestors from time immemorial.

CONT

In 1997, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in the Delgamuukw case that Aboriginal title is a property right to the land itself-not just the right to hunt, fish and gather. [An] Aboriginal title is a communal right; an individual cannot hold [an] Aboriginal title.

OBS

Aboriginal title: A legal term that recognizes an Aboriginal interest in the land. It is based on the long-standing use and occupancy of the land by today’s Aboriginal peoples as the descendants of the original inhabitants of Canada.

Key term(s)
  • Aboriginal title to the land

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit autochtone
CONT

En 1997, la Cour suprême du Canada a statué dans l'affaire Delgamuukw que le titre ancestral est un droit sur la terre elle-même et ne se limite pas au droit de chasser, de pêcher et de récolter. Le titre ancestral est un droit collectif; un particulier ne peut pas détenir de titre ancestral.

OBS

titre ancestral : Terme juridique qui reconnaît les intérêts des Autochtones à l’égard des terres. Il est fondé sur le fait que les peuples autochtones d’aujourd’hui, en tant que descendants des premiers habitants du Canada, utilisent et occupent les terres depuis très longtemps.

A foreign trust is an entity organized outside Canada which is set up to hold and administer funds or property on behalf of beneficiaries. For example, a Canadian taxpayer may transfer funds or property to a foreign trust for the benefit of his children living abroad. However, such arrangements can also be set up for the purpose of reducing income from property for Canadian tax purposes. The Income Tax Act contains provisions designed to prevent the avoidance of tax in such cases.

La raison est simple : si le terme anglais «action in rem» devait être rendu par «action réelle» (ce qui ne poserait pas de problèmes en soi), comment alors traduire les termes voisins, tels «judgment in rem», «jurisdiction in rem», «proceeding in rem» et «writ in rem»?

Part of Architectural and Engineering Services/Property and Facilities Management, Real Property Services. "On April 1, 1996, RPS formally implemented a new organizational model based on Client Service Units(CSUs) and Centres of Expertise(COEs). The CSUs are a dedicated organizational unit through which services are provided to a singular client or a portfolio of clients. The CSUs are supported by COEs which act as stewards of skills and knowledge in RPS business lines and program management. COEs manage a resource pool that may dedicate people on a full time basis to a particular CSU or provide services from ’home base’ to a number of CSUs. The CSUs are revenue centres and the COEs are cost centres. The NCA plays a national role and as such, the CSUs and COEs in the NCA are called National Client Service Units(NSCUs) and National Centres of Expertise(NCOEs). In addition to the provision of operational services to the NCA, the NCOEs formulate policy, establish national product standards, develop new/enhanced products and services for delivery to the CSUs and oversee their implementation. The NCOEs provide functional direction to Regional COEs in support of Real Property Services nationally. The NCSUs provide a focal point for national clients and furnish functional guidance to Regional CSUs. "

«En avril 1996, les SI ont officiellement adopté un nouveau modèle organisationnel fondé sur des unités de service à la clientèle (USC) et des centres d'expertise (CE). Les USC sont des unités organisationnelles qui fournissent des services à un client particulier ou à un portefeuille de clients. Les USC sont appuyées par des CE, qui leur fournissent les connaissances et les compétences nécessaires dans les différents secteurs d'activités des SI ainsi qu'en gestion des programmes. Les CE administrent une réserve de ressources et peuvent affecter du personnel à temps plein dans une USC donnée ou fournir des services à partir de l'administration centrale à un certain nombre d'USC. Les USC sont des centres de recettes et les CE, des centres de coûts. Le SCN jouant un rôle à l'échelle nationale, les USC et les CE du SCN sont appelés unités de service à la clientèle nationale (USCN)et centres d'expertise nationaux (CEN). En plus de fournir des services opérationnels au SCN, les CEN formulent des politiques, établissent des normes nationales relatives aux produits, élaborent des produits et des services nouveaux ou améliorés à l'intention des USC et en supervisent la mise en œuvre. Les CEN fournissent une orientation fonctionnelle aux CE régionaux afin d'appuyer les activités des Services immobiliers à l'échelle nationale.

Attornment has two analogous senses, the first relating to personal property and the second relating to land.

CONT

In recent times the term [attornment] has been loosely used to refer to the demand of a new owner for rents made on the tenant, which demand is generally accompanied by a direction from the previous owner to the tenant requiring him to pay all future rents to the new owner.

Coparceners held in undivided shares. Each coparcener held a distinct but undivided share which might be equal or unequal in size to the shares of the others. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 431).

OBS

Unlike joint tenants, tenants in common hold in undivided shares : each tenant in common has a distinct share in property which has not yet been divided among the co-tenants. Thus tenants in common have quite separate interests; the only fact which brings them into co-ownership is that they both have shares in a single property which has not yet been divided among them. While the tenancy in common lasts, no one can say which of them owns any particular parcel of land.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 396).

OBS

The essential difference between legal and equitable rights is best understood by comparing absolute ownership with trusts....(A) t this point it is only necessary to appreciate that trusts were unenforceable at common law. If land was conveyed to A in fee simple upon trust for B in fee simple, the common law courts regarded A as absolute owner and would not recognise any rights in B. But the Chancellor would enforce trusts, as matters of conscience, and compel A to hold the land on B's behalf and to allow B to enjoy it. In such a case A is the "legal owner", B is the "equitable owner". The land is vested in A, but since he is trustee of it he is not the beneficial owner : he has only the "bare legal estate", and the beneficial interest belongs to B. Now legal ownership confers rights "in rem", rights of property in the land itself, which can be enforced against anyone. Equitable ownership conferred at first only a right "in personam", a right to compel the trustee personally to perform his trust.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 113).

CONT

The HSI, or Horizontal Navigation Indicator or Pictorial Navigation Indicator, is perhaps one of the most useful although misunderstood instruments around... it combines your directional gyro and Nav indicator into one instrument that reduces pilot workload by providing heading, course reference, course deviation and glide slope information all in one visual aid... You may also consider a slaved HSI. Slaving automatically compensates for gyro heading errors and keeps your HSI in agreement with your compass. It uses a magnetic flux sensor mounted in the wing or tail of your aircraft to sense changes in magnetic heading and sends corrective signals to your HSI.

CONT

Directional Compass... The compass displays the directional heading of the Gizmo in degrees, shown in both analog and digital format. The dial is accurate within 23 degree increments; the digital readout is accurate to smaller values.

CONT

Heading Hold(HH) or Heading Lock. A feature mode of some gyros that stands out by its property to hold the heading of a helicopter and resist the tendency to weathervane. Once trimmed, the tail needs very little input to hold a directional heading, even in high cross-wind conditions.

La centrale d'attitude et de cap peut être à cardans ou à composants liés [...] et utiliser des gyroscopes mécaniques ou des gyrolasers. Dans le cas d'une centrale à cardans par exemple : un gyroscope à deux axes sensibles maintient la direction de la verticale vraie et matérialise ainsi la position de la ligne d'horizon par rapport aux axes de roulis et de tangage de l'avion, c'est-à-dire ses assiettes; un gyroscope à un axe sensible est utilisé pour maintenir un cap directionnel ou gyromagnétique.

CONT

There must be certainty as to the objects of a trust--i. e. as to the persons whom the settlor intends to benefit and the extent of the benefit. The court cannot enforce a trust where it is not clear whom the settlor intends as the beneficiaries and accordingly such a trust will fail, although if that is the only defect the trustee will hold the trust property upon a resulting trust.
