CONT

No abeyance of freehold. Limitations of land operating at common law were subject to the rule that there must always be a tenant of the freehold; in other words, the freehold must never be in abeyance. Consequently, an estate of freehold could not at common law be limited to commence in the future save by way of remainder after a particular estate, and a remainder could not be limited so as to vest in possession at a date later than the determination of the preceding estate. (Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 39, p. 327).
