Another problem involving the use of words is the question of "conditional assault". If one person points a gun at another and says, "Your money or your life!", it might be argued that it is not assault because the plaintiff may avoid any harm by complying with the condition and parting with his money. It could be contended that the requirement of immediacy is absent. Such an argument is fallacious, however, for one cannot impose conditions upon another, when one has no legal right to do so. It would be otherwise of a landowner said to a trespasser, "Get off my land or I’ll throw you off, "for in such a case, the landowner is only threatening to do what he is entitled to do anyway.  1, record 4, English, - conditional%20assault

Un autre problème relié aux paroles est celui des «voies de fait conditionnelles». Si un individu braque une arme sur quelqu'un en lui disant : «la bourse ou la vie!», on pourrait soutenir qu'il n'y a pas de voies de fait parce que le demandeur peut éviter tout préjudice en se soumettant à la condition et en se défaisant de son argent. On pourrait soutenir que le caractère d'imminence est absent, mais cet argument est faux car personne ne peut, sans justification, imposer des conditions à une autre personne. La situation serait différente si un propriétaire disait à un intrus «Si vous ne déguerpissez pas, je vous expulserai moi-même!», puisque, dans ce cas, le propriétaire menace seulement de faire ce qu'il a le droit de faire de toute façon.  2, record 4, French, - voies%20de%20fait%20conditionnelles

Do not confuse "warranty" and "guaranty". According to Construction Specifications Canada, "a Warranty is a ... contract or agreement between two parties and usually is included in a contract for goods or services between these parties", whereas "a guarantee is a ’collateral’ agreement for the performance of another’s undertaking".  5, record 5, English, - warranty%20period

guarantee. A. And "warranty". Originally the same word, "warranty" and "guarantee"(or "-ty") arrived in the language through different medieval French dialects. "Guarantee" is the broader term, ordinarily meaning either(1) "the act of giving a security; the undertaking with respect to(a contract, performance of a legal act, etc.) that it shall be duly carried out, "or(2) "something given or existing as security, e. g., for fulfillment of an engagement or condition"(OED). "Warranty", as a legal term, has slightly more specific and elaborate senses :(1) "a covenant(either express or implied) annexed to a conveyance of realty by which the seller warrants the security of the title conveyed";(2) "an assurance, express or implied, given by the seller of goods, that he will be answerable for their possession of some quality attributed to them"(the seller hereby disclaims all warranties) ;or(3) "in a contract for insurance, an engagement by the insured that certain statements are true or that certain conditions shall be fulfilled"(OED). B. And "guaranty". The distinction in BrE once was that the former is the verb, the latter the noun. Yet "guarantee" is now commonly used as both n. & v. t. in both AmE and BrE. In practice, "guarantee", n., is the usual term, seen often, for example, in the context of consumer warranties or other assurances of quality or performance. "Guaranty", in contrast, is now used primarily in financial and banking contexts in the sense "a promise to answer for the debt of another. ""Guaranty" is now rarely seen in nonlegal writing, whether in G. B. or in the U. S. Some legal writers prefer "guaranty" in all nominal senses.  6, record 5, English, - warranty%20period

The Court also distinguished between the legal right of redemption in foreclosure proceedings and a borrower's contractual right to reinstate a defaulted loan. By law, a defaulting borrower in foreclosure is entitled to redeem his or her property by paying the entire principal and interest due before confirmation of the sheriff's sale. When that happens, the lender has a legal duty to dismiss the foreclosure proceedings and may not condition that dismissal on payment of attorney fees. This differs from a contractual right to reinstate a loan. In that instance, the borrower typically pays only the amounts needed to make the loan current and continues all future payments on the previously agreed-upon schedule.  3, record 6, English, - legal%20right%20of%20redemption

When there are no written representations or warranties, the common law rule of caveat emptor("buyer beware") usually applies. Under this rule, the buyer assumes the risk that the quality and condition of the property is satisfactory. Sellers do not have an obligation to disclose all defects at the time of sale. Without written representations or warranties, the buyer may therefore have no legal remedy if the house is defective.  2, record 10, English, - rule%20of%20caveat%20emptor

At common law, a married woman's legal condition; "under the cover", influence and protection of her husband. In effect, the real property of which the woman was seised at the time of marriage, or afterwards, vested in both husband and wife during coverture, in right of the wife, and the husband was entitled to the profits therefrom and had sole control and management. As to personal property, at common law the husband became absolute owner of his wife's personal chattels.
