Introduction
On an initial review of current England and Wales (EW) trusts and related family property case law, it is apparent that the precedent value once commanded …show more content…

It is difficult to imagine a more circumstance-driven area of English trust and property rights law, given how family relationships have seemingly infinite variety, and unique dimensions that inevitably impact how Court resolve sole name property claims.[footnoteRef:24] This proposition thus provides the first basis on which the suggested continuing relevance of Rosset in sole name property claims is asserted. As noted in the Introduction, the 2007 Stack reasons may have wiped the EW authorities? slate clean in terms of its ?real intention? emphasis, but there remains significant room for the Rosset approach. Taking into account how clear and strict the decision was. The EW cases that have followed Rosset lend particular credence to this contention.

In Day v Hosebay,[footnoteRef:56] the Supreme Court held that to be deemed a ?house?; the subject building usage will usually be determinative.[footnoteRef:57] When LRA 1967 enfranchisement is sought, the subject property must be capable of providing occupants with a residence, irrespective of its physical appearance or character. Buildings used solely for commercial purposes cannot be a house. These must be a ?property is fit for immediate residential occupation?.[footnoteRef:58] [56: Day v Hosebay Ltd [2012] UKSC 41; [2012] 1 W.L.R (SC).] [57: Ibid, [41], [43].] [58: Boss Holdings Ltd v Grosvenor West End Properties Ltd [2008] UKHL 5; [2008] 1 W.L.R. 289 HL),

Antibigamy Pros And Cons

680 Words | 3 Pages

Reynolds’s ruling clearly states that “social harm may have been a legitimate concern of government for reasons quite apart from discrimination” (Smith, 494 U.S. at 878-79, 110 S.Ct. 1595). Androcentric practices, conscious or unconscious, continue to permeate every system within our society. These androcentric practices may lead to oblivious discrimination against women in polygamous marriages. In addition to the effects of social harm, the Court also cited that Utah 's bigamy statute would survive a federal free exercise of religion challenge under the most recent standards enunciated by the United States Supreme Court.

Bigamy Section 57

997 Words | 4 Pages

This is especially presented in bigamy section 57. However, the meaning can become clear despite the piece of legislation not being renewed. As Twining and Miers (2010:342) states ‘shall marry is ambiguous…the interpretation is a possible one’. This means the judges will be left to interpret the stature related to the case in order to provide a normal reasonable outcome which can be achieved, but only with great care. According to Ormerod (2012: 274) he highlights there are a very small number of court of appeals that make decisions on the correct approach for sentencing bigamy.

Donohe V Anglo American Oil Case Summary

3686 Words | 15 Pages

Assignment: Laws 7100 Abstract Before Donohue v Stevenson was decided in 1932 it was unclear whether the transferor of a product owed any duty of care to the ultimate receiver of the goods. It was taken as a matter of fact that there was a clear absence of contractual agreement between the parties and therefore no Duty of Care. The only Duty of Care implied was if the goods were in a class of “Dangerous Chattels” (the privity of contract fallacy 10-2) or if the goods in question were known to the transferor as being dangerous. (Langridge V Levy (1837).)

Introduction Establishing a valid trust, Lord Langdale MR mentioned in Knight v Knight that three certainties were required: certainty of intention, subject matter and objects.

Hugh, as a settlor, has the power to appoint benefits during lifetime. Noted that these powers will only vest in the trustees, Kay Oss and Anna Key, after Hugh’s death.

[5] Common law works in a different way, the judges rather than the Parliament make common law or ‘judge-made law’. Considering criminal and civil cases, the judges take decisions based on the stare decisis principle (Latin “to stand by things decided”, the legal principle of determining points in litigation according to precedent [4]), deliver rulings and create precedents, thus applying the law to real life situations. Therefore, the value of the precedent is very high in the English Common Law system. The strengths of common law

Arthur Goodhart Ratio Decidendi Analysis

1373 Words | 6 Pages

In the article entitled ‘Determining the Ratio Decidendi of the Case’ by Arthur L. Goodhart, I underwent a roller coaster-like journey on exploring the science behind the nature of a precedent in English law. Goodhart started with the attempt to explain the full meaning of ratio decidendi in the simplest terms. He referred to Sir John Salmond’s definition in which I have interpreted ratio decidendi as the principle of law that is found in a court decision and possesses the authority to be binding. Ratio decidendi should be distinguished from a judicial decision, as the latter is a wider concept and contains the ratio decidendi, whereas the former is a principle that carries the force of law. In another reference, Professor John Chipman Gray
