Joint ownership of leasehold or freehold property is well formulated under the English Law. The English law imposes various restrictive statutes that acts as guidelines and provide sufficient evidence of the terms of the agreement between the parties in agreement. Declaring interests before a transaction provides clarity about the intentions of the parties involved as well as helping in avoiding disputes in the future. There has been some uncertainty pertaining the position of joint owners in the English jurisdiction. Recent cases studies such as Stack vs. Dowden have only demonstrated the many difficulties being experienced in this area. This paper analysis the case scenario of Prince, Madonna, Fat Boy and Slim, who have contributed equally …show more content…
The agreement that binds Fat boy as one of the legal owners of the house is void under s2 of the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989 that provides that a sale of land, transfer of an interest of land ought to be in writing. It is because before the transfer deed was registered their solicitor realized that Fat Boy was under age thus prompting the property to be registered in the names of Madonna, Prince, and Slim. Since there is no evidence showing that Fat boy is one of the legal owners of the property he would have to rely upon the conduct of the other owners to establish a common intention of sharing the property’s benefits as well as establishing that the conduct that he relied on resulted in a constructive trust. Rmember to mention how the register could be fixed, and that he could be viewed as someone with an equitable interestHe should show shared intentions, detrimental reliance, and unconscionable denial rights with respect to the property in ascertaining that he is equally entitled to the house (Brenton, …show more content…
Joint tenants tend to enjoy an equal share of the property while tenants in common tend to enjoy equal or unequal shares in proportion to their contribution. The fact that Prince sold his interest in the house to Madonna result to the joint tenancy shifting to a tenancy in common. Under these arrangements, the interest obtained from the sale of the house will be shared unequally, with Madonna getting the bigger portion. Moreover, the fact that Slim died in a car accident before he had sold his interest in the house to Madonna will also change the distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the house. The English law provides that in an ownership whereby all owners own the same property equally, when one party dies, the shares of the deceased passages to the other parties who own the property in Joint tenancy. On the contrary in tenants with common one may opt to leave his or her respective shares by to other people other than their partners through his Will. In the absence of a Will they share may pass to a family member of the deceased per intestacy rules as explained in the reading by Shepperson (2011).also case law under the co-ownership lecture notes Therefore, on this occasion since it is a tenancy with common Slim’s share of the proceeds from the sale of the house will be left to
...o the purchaser of unregistered land should the disposition be ultra vires, assuming that there is no actual notice of such then overreaching can take place. This has now evolved into their being no requirement for absence of notice. In addition Section 70 (1) (g) of the LRA 1925 protected as an overriding interest the property rights of those in actual occupation of the land as described by Lord Denning MR:
The need for the law to recognise possessory and equitable interests in land under a system of registration of title is a contested issue in Australia. The term ‘title’ means the extent of ownership over property as recognised by the legal system. For the purpose of this essay, a system of registration of title means the Torrens title system. The protection of possessory and equitable interests in Western Australia will be discussed, with reference to the Torrens title system and real property. It will be argued that there is still a need for the law to recognise equitable interests in land, however, the Torrens framework does remove the need for the law for the law to recognise possessory interests, in particular the doctrine of adverse possession.

In this lecture, it talks about fat and how it affects us and our bodies. There are two main different types of fat, saturated and unsaturated. Many types of saturated fat are found in meat and dairy products. These fats are hard to break down for cells, because of this, they tend to get tucked away and build up over time if worked off. Unsaturated fats are found in olive oil and other plant oils. These types of fat are readily consumed for energy.
Children that live an unhealthy lifestyle are more prone to becoming obese later in life. Furthermore, the cause of children becoming more obese includes; children that do not participate in physical activity, children that eat lots of snacks, play video games or watch TV, and that do not eat a healthy balanced meal. In addition, the parent or guardian of the child also plays a role in whether the child becomes obese or not by “What” they offer the child to eat, and the type of environment the food is served in such as “When” and “Where” food is offered. Moreover, as a child grows there are different food exposures that create a preference for food intake, these exposures include sweet & salty foods, familiar foods, consumption of foods high
Sociocultural standards of feminine beauty are presented in almost all forms of popular media, revealing women with images that portray for what is considered to be the "ideal body." Such beauty standards for most women are completely unattainable; what is seen on TV Is another story, majority of models are considered to be well below what is known as a healthy weight. Media conveys a practical message using models that are not considered to be healthy and stating that in order for a woman to be considered beautiful, she must be unhealthy, or “thin.” The mindset in today’s society for many women is that you need to be thin, which is all too predominant and for females it makes it more difficult to achieve any level of serenity of their physical appearance. In the American culture, the “ideal body” for a female is represented very negatively, as it has dramatically changed. The number of people who are thin is starting to be the minority, while the people who are overweight/obese is going to other way and is the majority. Andre Dubus, the author of the short story "The Fat Girl," demonstrates each of these traditional behaviors towards the overweight main character, Louise.
There is uncertainty surrounding the law in regards to the ownership of property and proprietary estoppel. This paper will deal with these issues by analysing two cases that involve these questions. It will first address Jack’s case and whether the two objects in question are chattels or fixtures; then, it will examine a Laurence’s case and whether he can rely on proprietary estoppel or not. By dealing with the two cases, this paper will clarify questions of what constitutes a chattel or fixture, and in what situations proprietary estoppel may apply.
From the identity map I created in class, I decided I would explore my personal connections more. The readings: “The Fat Girl”, “The Bluest Eye”, and “Between the World and Me” were the texts that stood out to me the most because they can all interlink with each other in one way or another. Naturally I would like to explore body image, race, beauty standards, and society’s expectations within the selections I chose. From the selections I chose to write my essay about I think “The Bluest Eye” is what connects the three stories the most because so much is challenged in this novel, though not all is overcome.
If I name two or more primary beneficiaries to receive a specific gift of property and any of them do not survive me, all surviving primary beneficiaries shall equally divide the deceased primary beneficiary's share unless I have specifically provided otherwise. If I name two or more alternate beneficiaries to receive a specific gift of property and any of them do not survive me, all surviving alternate beneficiaries shall equally divide the deceased alternate beneficiary's
The question of whether the public’s health is an individual’s responsibility or the government’s responsibility has been a sticky topic for quite some time now. In order to get closer to an answer, it is important to evaluate the roles individuals have in protecting and improving their health versus the roles the government has. To better understand the situation, I will discuss the case study of obesity. Is it the individual’s responsibility to exercise in order to avoid being obese or is it firstly the governments responsibility to provide safe environments with parks, for example to improve the individuals’ health? This paper will discuss the causes of obesity, what makes obesity an individual’s responsibility, what makes it the government’s
“In 2012, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.” (CDC) Childhood obesity is a problem that has inundated society for many decades. Almost anywhere that you go, you’ll see a magazine article or some sort of poster regarding childhood obesity. Childhood obesity can be defined as a condition where excess body fat negatively affects a child’s health or well-being. Majority of adults care about their weight because self-image is a very important factor in their lives, but when it comes down to children, many pay their weight a very minimal amount of attention. Due to the superfluous rise in the number of obese children over the past couple of decades, doctors and physicians have become concerned about this trend. This concern is raised by the various diseases and health issues accompanying childhood obesity. Childhood obesity puts children at a greater risk for developing health issues and diseases of the heart.
Fat Kid vs. The World was a overall good book. First, I picked up the book because I thought the title was hysterical. I enjoyed this book because the underdog (Troy) rules the world. I do connect to this book because I used to be pretty chubby just like Troy. In the book, Troy talks about how he feels about food. I also love food, I eat humungous amounts of food and love each and every bite just like Troy. Also, Troy lost his loving mother when he was child. As a child, my best friend was my grandma but she died before I was eight years old. My favourite part of the book is when a dropped out junkie (Curt), saves a fat kid’s life and becomes his best and only friend. Furthermore, I would reccomend this book to any classmate. This book is filled
It has been generally acknowledged that the doctrine of proprietary estoppel has much in common with common intention constructive trusts, i.e. those that concern the acquisition of an equitable interest in another person’s land. In effect, the general aim is the recognition of real property rights informally created. The similarity between the two doctrines become clear in a variety of cases where the court rely on either of the two doctrines. To show the distinction between the doctrines, this essay will analyse the principles, roots and rationale of both doctrines. With reference to the relevant case law it will be possible to highlight the subtle differences between the doctrines in the cases where there seems to be some overlap. Three key cases where this issue surfaced were the following: Lloyds Bank Plc v. Rosset (1991), Yaxley v. Gotts (1999) and Stack v. Dowden (2007). This essay will describe the relevant judgements in these cases in order to show the differences between the two doctrines.
Setting: “I move onto the sidewalk and Curt and I stand there watching our cab disappear into the sea of cars making their way up and down Houston.
One of the special concepts in land law is of overriding interests. The standard practice in the English land law is all the interest and rights affecting or is binding over particular a land should be registered in the Register. However, the concept of overriding interest denotes that there are interests which are binding on the owner (the registered proprietor) regardless of not being formally registered. It was introduced because in that era it was though that it would be unreasonable and unjust to overlook such rights and interest enjoyed. Overriding interests need not be registration to bind the legal owner of the land. Therefore, if the land is sold to another person the interests and rights would not be lost. It can be said that overriding by nature are unregistered if they are registered they will cease to be an overriding interest.
