Personal PropertyThis week’s lectures will focus on tangible pro.docxdanhaley45372
Personal Property
This week’s lectures will focus on tangible property. There are two main divisions in property: the law dealing with real property (land and items permanently attached to land) and the law dealing with personal property (all other items). The essence of property law is ownership. This ownership may be held outright, or it may be held in common with others as a joint tenant. Ownership interests are acquired in many ways including by possession (in the case of wild animals hunted or finding lost and abandoned property), by production, or by gift. A gift is a voluntary transfer of property ownership not supported by consideration.
There are three elements to a valid gift:
· Donative intent- this is ascertained by the language of the donor and the surrounding circumstances.
· Delivery- this requires giving up dominion and control of the item. With some items, constructive delivery may be applied. This is true, for example, in the situation where a key to a car is given symbolizing that the car has been given.
· Acceptance- the donee must accept the gift. This is generally assumed.
Gifts are ordinarily unconditional. However, the gift may be conditional in some situations. A gift causa mortis, for example, is a gift given in anticipation of death. If the donor (gift giver) does not die, the gift becomes invalid.
Mislaid, lost or abandoned property presents difficult challenges in the area of personal property law. Mislaid property gives the owner—not a random finder—the first claim to the property. Mislaid property is property that the owner did not intend to lose. However, if the owner does not claim the property the finder may keep it. Lost property is treated similarly. The owner has the first claim. However, the finder may keep it if the owner does not claim it (many states require the finder to seek out the owner). Finally, property that has been intentionally abandoned is the finder's, as the owner is presumed to have surrendered all rights in ownership in possession.
The final area of law we need to discuss is bailments. Bailments are created when an owner gives possession (but not ownership) to another temporarily. Most bailments are created by agreement. And although the elements of a contract may be present, this is not necessarily true except in the case of a commercial bailment, for example, where a patron gives a suit to a dry cleaner. The bailment is created when:
· Personal property is;
· Delivered without title;
· Under an agreement that property be returned to the bailor or otherwise disposed of according to the owners instructions.
Delivery requires the bailee to surrender exclusive possession and control to the bailor who must accept the property. The agreement does not need to be in writing for bailments lasting less than a year. The bailment gives the bailee certain rights including the right of temporary control and possession of the bailed property, use of the property for the purpos.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

2. Types of Servitudes
The following land servitudes upon land may be attached to
land as “appurtenances”, :
The right of way;
The right of taking water, wood, minerals, and
other things;
The right of receiving air, light, or heat from or
over land;
The right of receiving water from or discharging
the same upon land;
3. The right of having water flow without
diminution ordisturbance of any kind;
The right of using a wall as a party wall;
The right of receiving natural support from
adjacent land or things affixed thereto;
4. Dominant tenement
Servient tenement
Dominant tenement - The land to which an
easement is attached is called the dominant
tenement;
Servient tenement- the land upon which a
burden or servitude is laid is called the
servient tenement.
5. Positive Servitudes
Negative Servitudes
Positive Servitudes – permits the
Dominant tenement to use the servient
tenement in a particular way.
i.e. walking across the land, drawing
water from a well
Negative Servitudes – it is the duty of the
owner of the land to forbear / or not use it
in a particular way.
i.e. not to obstruct light
6. Impact of Servitudes on
immovable property
Servitudes or limited real rights are
aspects of immovable property that can
have a huge impact on an owner's use of
the property.
7. And servitudes or limited real rights stay
binding on a land, even if the owner did
not know about the servitudes at the time
of buying the property.
9. Buying a Property with Servitudes
When a property is sold,
the limited real rights or servitudes
registered against the title deed stays
valid.
The property is always sold "subject to"
the limited real rights or servitudes,
whether the buyer was aware of those
servitudes or limited real rights, or not.
10. Servitudes and Property Value
The fact that another person has a
registered limited real right or servitude
over a property limits the owner's use of
the immovable property and will
negatively affect the value of the property.
Servitude is an encumbrance on the
servient tenement
11. On the other hand, if the owner of a
property has a registered limited real right
or servitude over another property, it will
positively affect the value of his/her
property.
Dominant owner should impose a
minimum burden on the servient owner –
Rule of Roman Dutch Law
12. Usufruct
A Usufruct is a type of Servitude
A usufruct grants a person (who is not the owner of the
property) the right to occupy the property, and enjoy
the fruits thereof. This means that the usufruct holder is
entitled to the rental income from a property, should they
not choose to occupy the property.
Fernando vs Perera (1914) 18 NLR 150 – Allotments of
land bequeathed to the youngest daughter Isabella to
possess and occupy the said 3 lands during her lifetime.
A Usufruct can be acquired by Deed, Will and Prescription
13. Creation of Servitudes
An Servitude created through Prescription will be
recognized in these instances:
(1) the servitude is adverse or contrary to the
interests, and absent of the permission, of the
landowner;
(2) it is continuous and uninterrupted; and
(3) it exists for over a period of 10 years.
A creates and openly uses a right of way across B's land
without B's permission. A Servitude is created by
prescription.
14. Termination of Servitudes
(1) the same individual becoming the
owner of the dominant as well as the
servient tenement where an appurtenant
Servitude existed; Perera vs
Samarakoon (1922) 23 NLR 502
(2) Amicable settlement
(3) Releasing the Servitude by Deed
(4) the abandonment of a Servitude.
15. case
Thamboo vs Annammah (1934) 36 NLR
330
One Co-owner cannot create a
servitude without the consent of the
other co-owners
16. case
Fernando vs Fernando (1929) 31 NLR 107
Servitude has to be claimed against the
adjoining tenement. If not it should be
proved that the intervening tenements are
subject to the same servitude.
17. Case
Cornelis vs Fernando (1962) 34 NLR 113
If permission had been granted by the
owner of a block of land by giving
permission, a Right of Way cannot be
claimed by Prescription.
18. case
Selladurai vs Chelliah (1951) 46 CLW 12
The Deed of Transfer of the dominant
tenement carried the provision ‘with the
appurtenances’ indicating that it conveys
servitudes.
But even if such words were not used a
real Servitude attached to a property will
pass.
19. case
Wijesekera vs Vaithianathan
The Court held that the Right of Way was
gifted personally and did not become an
accessory of the property mortgaged.
20. case
