Although no executor is expressly nominated in the will by the word "executor", yet, if by any word or circumlocution the testator recommends or commits to one or more the charge or office, or the rights which appertain to an executor, it amounts to as much as the ordaining or constituting him or them to be executors.

The creation of easements by the implication of law is based upon an implied grant which arises upon a grant or disposition of either the dominant or servient tenement by a common owner. Where the owner of two tenements sells one, a grant will be implied of those continuous and apparent easements which during the unity of possession were enjoyed under the title of ownership. Only those easements which are used as of necessity or are in their nature continuous will pass by implication of law without any words of grant....(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 932) 1, record 3, English, - implied%20grant

They include weekly, monthly, three-monthly, quarterly, six-monthly and half-yearly tenancies, and the only reason for treating them separately from yearly tenancies is that they are terminable on one full period's notice at common law i. e., in the absence of any express agreement to the contrary....(Evans, 1974, p. 32). 1, record 6, English, - half%2Dyearly%20tenancy

As late as 1970, many thought that the world of information networks was destined to be driven by Grosch's law. Herbert Grosch, an IBM engineer, proved in a 1956 theorem that computer power rose by the square of its cost. The implication of such a theorem was that intelligence should gravitate to a few extremely expensive machines. 1, record 8, English, - Grosch%26rsquo%3Bs%20law
