Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Law of Estates (common law)
OBS

Gifts expressed in the alternative. Two or more gifts may be made to take effect alternatively, for example, in certain mutually exclusive events; thus, a gift to A or B, where A and B are donees, described or named, and mutually exclusive, is an alternative gift. In such a gift there is generally a contingency implied, even if not expressed, on the happening of which the gift is to take effect in favour of the second-named donee, and the circumstances of the gift must be ascertained before the contingency can be determined. Usually it refers to the death of the first-named donee before some particular period; for example, the death of the testator or some other period of distribution; and it is inferred that the intention of the testator is that the first donee shall take if then alive, but that the second donee is to take if the first does not survive the particular period.(Halsbury's Laws of England, 3rd ed., v. 39, 1962, p. 1048)

OBS

L'adjectif anglais «alternative» dans «alternative gift» se rapporte tantôt à l'une ou à l'autre de deux choses faisant l'objet d'un legs fait à une même personne, tantôt à une alternative quant au destinataire de la chose léguée (légataire), c'est-à-dire à l'une ou à l'autre de deux ou plusieurs personnes appelées à recevoir une même chose. Sur le plan de la traduction, l'équivalent français reste le même et est valable dans toutes les situations d'emploi de «alternative gift», sans égard à l'interprétation de «alternative» anglais qui se dégagera de l'analyse, sur le plan juridique, du contexte.

OBS

legs alternatif : terme normalisé par le Comité de normalisation dans le cadre du Programme national de l'administration de la justice dans les deux langues officielles (PAJLO).

If the dominant owner shows an intention to release an easement or profit, it will be extinguished by implied release. Mere non-user is never enough by itself : an intention to abandon the right must be shown. Nevertheless non-user for a long period may raise a presumption of abandonment.(Megarry & Wade, 4th ed. 1975, p. 870)

An «implied contract» is inferred by the law as a matter of reason and justice from the act or conduct of the parties. An implied contract may arise where one party, without being requested to do so, renders services under circumstances indicating that he or she expects to be paid thereof, and the other party knowing the circumstances, avails himself of the benefit of those services. An implied contract is an agreement which legitimately can be inferred from the intention of the parties as evidenced by circumstances and ordinary course of dealing and common understanding.(Black's Law Dictionary, cited in note 16 of section 5. 16. 5 of the "Guide de la détermination de l'admissibilité").
