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.

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

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.

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.

In its primary or legal sense "lien" means a right at common law in one man to retain that which is rightfully and continuously in his possession belonging to another until the present and accrued claims of the person in possession are satisfied. In this primary sense it is given by law and not by contract.

OBS

It is a form of security differing from a mortgage or charge in that while the origin of the debt secured by a mortgage or charge is immaterial, a lien can only attach to property which is or has been the subject of a transaction between the parties.

A way of acquiring title to property without a deed, by making a claim and meeting certain statutory requirements.

The law gives an occupant of land who maintains "actual, open, notorious, exclusive and continuous occupancy of property" for a specific statutory period the right to claim legal title to that property. 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. In Quebec it is known as acquiring property by prescription.

The right of flotation, being the right to float rafts, logs and other kinds of forest products on navigable and floatable waters, was originally looked upon as a part of the law of navigation but it later developed as a separate right. In England, the right of flotation does not exist except perhaps by prescription. In many parts of Canada the need to float logs and timber was an economic necessity.

OBS

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).

"Hereditaments" (is) used in a general sense to include both the corporeal things, such as houses and land, and the rights which arise out of them. Where these rights extend to the exclusive possession of the thing which is the subject of property, they are called corporeal hereditaments, a term which is used to denote both the thing itself and the right of property in the thing.
