Prior to("Quia Emptores") the number of subtenures had greatly increased by the process of subinfeudation. By this process a tenant, instead of alienating his land outright for a capital sum, created a new tenurial relationship between himself and another whereby the other person became his tenant of the land in return for a perpetual grant or service. The new tenant might create a further subtenure and in theory the process could go on "ad infinitum". "Quia Emptores" accomplished two important objectives. In the first place it abolished alienation by subinfeudation and secondly, it endorsed the principle of alienation by substitution.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 23) 1, record 1, English, - alienation%20by%20subinfeudation

Finally, on the question of costs and related charges, Mr. Knopf had referred to subsection 81(2) of the OLA [Official Language Act], which provides that where a court is of the opinion that an application raises an important new principle in relation to the Act, it shall order that costs be awarded to the applicant. 1, record 2, English, - question%20of%20costs

The difference between extinction through the principle rebus sic stantibus and lapse through non-applicability becomes important when the preceding territorial situation is revived, or when in some other way the treaty once again becomes of practical importance through some succeeding change of circumstances. For an extinct treaty cannot revive; whereas a lapsed treaty may do so. After the First World War notices reviving the Anglo-Austrian Treaty of 1873 were given to Austria and Hungary; but a new treaty was entered into in 1924 with Czechoslovakia, a new state created out of the territory of Austria-Hungary. 1, record 4, English, - lapse

Extinction d'un droit, d'une obligation, d'un acte juridique, d'un traité ou d'une clause d'un traité par un événement autre que l'accord des États intéressés où d'une dénonciation préalablement admise. 1, record 4, French, - caducit%C3%A9
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme «caducité» désigne une extinction résultant directement de certaines circonstances reconnues par le droit international comme produisant cet effet extinctif : les auteurs disent que cet effet se produit «naturaliter». La caducité d'un traité est autre chose que son abrogation [...], laquelle résulte d'un accord entre les États signataires, donc d'un acte volontaire non de certaines circonstances auxquelles le droit international attache objectivement un effet extinctif, p. ex. la guerre. Pour la clarté des textes diplomatiques, il convient de ne pas confondre les termes caducité et abrogation, confusion dont la pratique offre trop d'exemples. 1, record 4, French, - caducit%C3%A9
