Book Description
Excerpt from A Concise Treatise on the Law and Practice of Conveyancing: Together With the Solicitors Remuneration Act, 1881, and General Order, 1882, and the Land Transfer Acts, 1875 and 1897, and the Rules and Orders Thereon Since the publication of the first edition of this work several important changes have been made in the law applying to Real Property and Conveyancing by statutory enactments and by judicial decisions. As to the former I may instance the Settled Land Acts, 1884, 1887, 1889, and 1890; the Finance Act, 1894; the Copyhold Act, 1894; the Land Transfer Act, 1897; the Land Charges Act, and the Agricultural Holdings Act of the present year. The changes effected by these and other statutes, and by judicial decisions, have, as far as practicable, and in some instances through the liberality of the publisher, been made in the text of the present edition. Special attention has been given to the law and practice relating to investigation of title, and the preparation of deeds of conveyance, &c. New chapters have been added on Bills of Sale; Bonds; the Statutes of Limitation; and on the Land Transfer Acts, 1875 and 1897, and the Rules issued under those Acts. The work has consequently been considerably enlarged, and in great part rewritten. And it is trusted that it will be found sufficient for examination purposes on the subjects it embraces, and will also meet the requirements of the young practitioner while conducting the ordinary duties of a conveyancing practice.

ISBN: 9781139459402
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
In the second edition of this highly regarded text, the authors show how and why traditional legal language has developed the peculiar characteristics that make legal documents inaccessible to the end users. Incorporating recent research and case law, the book provides a critical examination of case law and the rules of interpretation. Detailed case studies illustrate how obtuse or outdated words, phrases and concepts can be rewritten, reworked or removed altogether. Particularly useful is the step-by-step guide to drafting in the modern style, using examples from four types of common legal documents: leases, company constitutions, wills and conveyances. Readers will gain an appreciation of the historical influences on drafting practice and the use of legal terminology. They will learn about the current moves to reform legal language, and receive clear instruction on how to make their writing clearer and their legal documents more useful.

A History of Tasmania, from Its Discovery in 1642 to the Present Time
Author: James FentonPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Tasmania
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
James Fenton (1820-1901) was born in Ireland and emigrated to Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land) with his family in 1833. He became a pioneer settler in an area on the Forth River and published this history of the island in 1884. The book begins with the discovery of the island in 1642 and concludes with the deaths of some significant public figures in the colony in 1884. The establishment of the colony on the island, and the involvement of convicts in its building, is documented. A chapter on the native aborigines gives a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the colonising people, and a detailed account of the removal of the native Tasmanians to Flinders Island, in an effort to separate them from the colonists. The book also contains portraits of some aboriginal people, as well as a glossary of their language.
Privilege and Property

Pages : 438
Book Description
What can and can't be copied is a matter of law, but also of aesthetics, culture, and economics. The act of copying, and the creation and transaction of rights relating to it, evokes fundamental notions of communication and censorship, of authorship and ownership - of privilege and property. This volume conceives a new history of copyright law that has its roots in a wide range of norms and practices. The essays reach back to the very material world of craftsmanship and mechanical inventions of Renaissance Italy where, in 1469, the German master printer Johannes of Speyer obtained a five-year exclusive privilege to print in Venice and its dominions. Along the intellectual journey that follows, we encounter John Milton who, in his 1644 Areopagitica speech 'For the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing', accuses the English parliament of having been deceived by the 'fraud of some old patentees and monopolizers in the trade of bookselling' (i.e. the London Stationers' Company). Later revisionary essays investigate the regulation of the printing press in the North American colonies as a provincial and somewhat crude version of European precedents, and how, in the revolutionary France of 1789, the subtle balance that the royal decrees had established between the interests of the author, the bookseller, and the public, was shattered by the abolition of the privilege system. Contributions also address the specific evolution of rights associated with the visual and performing arts. These essays provide essential reading for anybody interested in copyright, intellectual history and current public policy choices in intellectual property. The volume is a companion to the digital archive Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900), funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC): www.copyrighthistory.org.
