Sam and Jess were the legal and equitable owners of the property due to the transfer of conveyance into both of their names and the express declaration that they wish to hold the equitable title as joint tenants (JT’s). However, Jess’s letter to Sam may constitute as a severance of the equitable title, meaning they will go from JT’s to tenants in common (TIC). Under sections 1(6) and 36 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (LPA) states, that where there is shared legal title, the persons must hold share it as JT’s. The letter will constitute as written notice and sufficient severance under section 36(2) of the LPA as long as the letter passes the criteria of severance, that is that it is that it has been served to all of the JT’s and there’s an intention for immediate severance. …show more content…

Section 196(3) LPA 1925 it is stated that if the severance is delivered at the last known abode, then it will be said to have been delivered. Therefore, in this scenario, as Sam was living at CeCe’s house before his death and the letter of severance was delivered there, it will have been sufficiently delivered. In the case of Re Draper’s Conveyance it was held that by asking for an order for sale and division of proceeds for the property was sufficiently clear and showed an immediate intention to sever. This means that by Jess asking to buy Sams 25% share from him, this shows an intention for immediate severance. As severance is likely to have occurred, they will then be held as TIC. The main difference with this is that the rule of survivorship does not

The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

The case of R. v. Schoenborn is a troubling case involving the death of three children and the defence of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. This defence must be critically analyzed along with the evidence and expert opinions as it could absolve the accused of the charges. As well, the precedent that the verdict provides is critical to the legal system and its future implication and thus give the decision more importance. After a thorough examination of the facts, it is evident that the verdict of the Supreme Court of British Columbia is correct and reflects the administration’s objectives and beliefs.

In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution. To provide some context for this case in 1944, Dulcie Johnson was charged with an offence against the National Security Act 1939-1943 in that she did contravene par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order by travelling from South Australia to Western Australia by rail. In brief terms par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order provided that no person shall, without a valid permit, travel from state to state or territory.

B. Kraus’ “conduct” grabbing Hardy by the arm will not be dismissed as a de minimis infraction The second issue is whether Kraus’ “conduct” was of a too trivial nature to warrant conviction. Kraus’ grabbing Hardy, pulling him around to face her, and digging her fingers into his bicep are not considered “too trivial” to be dismissed as a de minimis infraction. In New Jersey, there is a possibility that conduct “too trivial to warrant the condemnation of conviction” may be dismissed as a de minimis infraction under NJ Rev Stat § 2C:2-11 (2013).
