The word "requisition" is used broadly to cover anything formally required of the other side in a real estate transaction. The thing required may be the correction of a title defect, the production of a draft document, a survey, mortgage statement, Land Division Committee consent or any other thing to which the party to the transaction is entitled. The object of making the requisition may be simply to remind the other party of an obligation under the contract to produce or do some specific thing or it may be to preserve a purchaser's right under the contract with respect to an alleged title defect.("Law Society of Upper Canada, Bar Admission Course, Real Estate Law", 1990-91, p. 8-1).

Requisitions on title... may be further subdivided into requisitions going to the root of the title and other requisitions on title... The relevance of the distinction lies in the application of the clause limiting the time within which requisitions may be made. Where the requisition does not go to the root of title this provision tends to be applied strictly. Where, on the other hand, the requisition does go to the root of title, the requisition may be made after the time stipulated by the contract and the provisions of the contract will not result in the purchaser being deemed to have accepted the defect in question.(Law Society of Upper Canada, Bar Admission Course, Real Estate Law, 1990-1991, p. 8-2).

Requisitions on matters of contract... are requisitions for specific things to which the purchaser is entitled under the contract. Strictly speaking, it is probably unnecessary to make any such requisition, as the contract should speak for itself. It is, however, a sound practice to make any such requisitions, simply to remind the vendor's solicitor of specific things which are expected under the terms of the contract.(Law Society of Upper Canada, Bar Admission Course, Real Estate Law, 1990-1991, p. 8-3).

  • Paddle Sports
CONT

There is one other stroke for paddling a straight course that should be covered here. It is a very useful stroke for paddling in a strong wind, running rapids, and paddling silently to sneak up on animals. It is called the indian stroke or underwater stroke and is an extension of the Canadian stroke. As the paddle knifes forward, the grip of the paddle is rotated in the palm of your upper hand. The rotation makes it possible to bring the paddle around, ready for the next power stroke without taking the blade out of the water, it's a very nice stroke to know because with the paddle remaining in the water, the canoeist is in control throughout the entire stroke.

The forward stroke is the same for both bow and stern paddlers.

The lower arm, holding the paddle's throat-does most of the work, so you might switch paddling sides once in a while to keep both arms evenly exercised.

In the real world there are, of course, no ordered fractals. Structures such as coastlines, trees, rivers, clouds, blood vessels, lightning bolts, paths of particles in Brownian motion and thousands of other fractal-like phenomena are imperfect models that are(within certain upper and lower bounds) fractals in a statistical sense [...] Such fractals are called random fractals or statistical fractals. Coastlines, for instance, have fractal dimensions that change from coast to coast.
