CONT

Escheat therefore being a title frequently vested in the lord by inheritance, as being the fruit of a signiory to which he was entitled by descent, it may seem in such cases to fall more properly under the head of acquiring title to estates, viz, by descent, by purchase. But it must be remembered that, in order to complete this title by escheat, it is necessary that the lord perform an act of his own, by entering on the lands and tenements so escheated, or suing out a writ of escheat, on failure of which, or by doing any act that amounts to an implied waiver of his right, as by accepting homage or rent of stranger who usurps the possession, his title by escheat is barred. It is therefore in some respect a title acquired by his own act, as well as by act of law.(Blackstone, Book II, p. 244)

DEF

surrender: the voluntary relinquishment of a right, or of a power or office, by one person (the surrenderor) to another (the surrenderee), either by written instrument or by delivery of the thing which is the object of the right.

OBS

surrender: A fundamental category of juridical acts in the common law.

OBS

Surrender is a generic term for all acts of the kind, [mentioned in the definition] but the following specific terms, including surrender itself, are normally used depending on what is surrender : surrender for an estate, lease, patent, insurance policy or physical object; disclaimer, renunciation, for an estate, succession, inheritance or office, especially if not yet vested or if unwanted or burdensome; resignation, reliquishment, for an office; waiver release, for a right of action; waiver renunciation, for a right to attend a meeting, right to receive notice, right to generally to the benefit of an obligation; release for a debt, usually on its satisfaction, e. g. for a mortgage; remission for an unsatisfied debt; discontinuance for the reliquishment and consequent termination of a judicial action by written notice given by a plaintiff, or for the termination of an abandoned action by court order. All the above should be clearly distinguished from abandonment, which is a unilateral and unwritten act of relinquishment, e. g. of a child, a ship, land, a building, goods, or of a judicial action where no notice of relinquishment is given by the plaintiff(in which connection abandonment does not terminate the action if the possibility subsists of it being revived) ;and from forfeiture, which is involuntary.

OBS

DEF

This is tacit consent to, or acquiescence in, the permanent nonfulfillment of treaty obligations.

OBS

It differs from a waiver of particular breaches of a treaty by the implied admission that the other party is legally entitled to disregard the treaty. Mere non-user of a right conferred by a treaty suffices even less to establish desuetude.
