English

Subject field(s)
  • Property Law (civil law)
CONT

Undivided co-ownership exists when more than one person owns the same home. No legal transaction is required. For example, undivided co-ownership can be formed from an inheritance. In an undivided co-ownership, each co-owner has a share over the entire property. There is no "private portion" like in a condo. In other words, everybody has the same rights to all parts of the property.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (droit civil)
CONT

La quote-part étant ni droit ni objet de droit, elle est une quantité, une mesure. Elle est issue du fractionnement des intérêts dans le titre de propriété et non pas de la division du droit ou de la division matérielle (physique) ou intellectuelle de l'objet. Lorsqu'un indivisaire agit pour sa part, il agit dans la mesure de ses intérêts dans la propriété du bien.

DEF

The region of shoreline between the limits of mean high and mean low tide levels.

CONT

Between the high and low tide marks lies a strip of shoreline that is regularly covered and uncovered by the advance and retreat of the tides. This meeting ground between land and sea is called the "intertidal."

OBS

To many geomorphologists, the term "foreshore" is considered synonymous with the intertidal zone. These definitions are compared with the legal definitions of the "foreshore" as exist in Britain under the three different property law regimes; English, Scottish and Udal law. The legal definitions and many of the geomorphological definitions are based on tidal data. The differences between the observed tides at a tide gauge and on a beach at a distance from the gauge are considered. It is concluded that the term "foreshore" has a very specific legal meaning in each property law regime, therefore the authors propose that the term "foreshore" should be used to relate to the legally defined area of the coast and, unless specifically referring to the foreshore, scientists should use the term "intertidal. "

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.

Traditionally this notice was called the notice of lis pendens, but 20th century American lawyers have shortened the phrase to merely lis pendens. E. g., "The defendant says that the plaintiff's harsh conduct in holding up a whole subdivision by the lis pendens in this action disentitles him to relief.

The owner who has either abandoned or "remained silent" during a statutory time may not later claim title to the property. The process is similar for easements, except in Quebec.

Any attempt to define "residential tenancy" is difficult. If one could define "tenancy", one would still be faced with the problem of defining "residential", which really involves an attempt to exclude "commercial" and "agricultural". We begin with "tenancy", which is simply a term descriptive of the interest in land acquired by a tenant from his landlord. In the more technical language of a common law property lawyer, the tenant's interest in land is a "non-freehold estate".... The next definitional problem is the term "residential". Fortunately, this term involves economic rather than legal concepts. We propose to define "residential premises" as a self-contained dwelling unit, and "residential tenancy" as a tenancy of residential premises for primarily residential purposes. Our proposed Act is not intended to apply to a tenancy for primarily commercial or agricultural purpose.(Alberta Law Reform Institute, Report on Residential Tenancies, 1977, pp. 10-11).

The legislation relating to registration of title is directed to the manner in which the law and practice of conveyancing are to be adapted to the use of a centrally maintained register of title to land. As the use of the register has been extended, so the successive statutes mark the historical development of a system of conveyancing, commonly known as registered conveyancing, which approached maturity as part of the real property legislation of 1925. The result of that legislation, as respects registered land, is to produce on first registration a state insured, but nevertheless private, record of entitlement to legal estates in land, such record to be kept up to date in respect of subsequent transactions in accordance with the conveyancing technique for which the legislation provides.(26 Halsbury, 4th ed., p. 404).

OBS

Registered conveyancing must be distinguished from the system of registration of assurances practiced in parts of Yorkshire which merely records conveyances and devises in a public register. (Cheshire, 11th ed., 1972, p. 103)

There are two kinds of easement known to the law: positive easements, such as a right of way, which give the owner of land a right himself to do something on or to his neighbour’s land: and negative easements, such as a right of light, which gives him a right to stop his neighbour doing something on his (the neighbour’s) own land. ("Words and Phrases/England", 2nd ed., 1969, Vol. 2, p. 137).

CONT

The right to light is not a natural right of property but is a negative easement that has to be acquired. The right can only relate to apertures in buildings and can only be acquired by means that have a legal recognition. The right is an advantage to the dominant tenement and a burden to the servient tenement.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 959)

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).

DEF

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. The disabilities of coverture in respect of property were eliminated by the English "Married Women's Property Act", 1882, and equivalent statutes in the Canadian provinces.(Yogis, 1983, p. 55).

Tout bien qui confère à son propriétaire un intérêt inférieur au domaine franc.

OBS

Dans l'usage, les termes «chatel» et «bien personnel» sont employés de façon interchangeable en ce sens. Tous les biens qui ne pouvaient pas donner lieu à une action réelle à l'époque médiévale sont qualifiés de biens personnels. À cette époque, le bétail («chattel») étant le principal bien personnel qui composait le patrimoine, le terme «chattel» en est donc venu, par extension, à désigner les biens personnels.
