A grantor is the party who transfers or creates a legal right or interest in favour of another person (the grantee). In practice, the term is most commonly used for the person who grants a security interest (such as a charge or mortgage), or who grants rights under a deed, lease, licence, servitude or easement.“Grantor” is largely a descriptive term used across property, security and commercial documentation rather than a concept with a single statutory definition, although specific legislation (for example, in secured transactions and land registration regimes) may define it for particular purposes.Across England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, the core meaning is consistent: the grantor is the person from whose estate or rights the new interest is carved out or burden is imposed. In Scots law, the grantor will typically be the owner granting a real right (for example, a standard security or servitude) or a personal right in favour of another.Identifying the correct grantor is critical for ensuring that a transfer, charge or other grant is valid, enforceable and properly registered or recorded against the correct party.

Background One of the fundamental principles of an effective insolvency process, is the ability of an insolvency practitioner (referred to in this Practice Note as an ‘IP’) to scrutinise the actions of the insolvent party (referred to in this Practice Note as a ‘Debtor’) in the run up to insolvency to establish if their antecedent dealings have unfairly prejudiced the legitimate claims of creditors. For example, a Debtor enduring financial hardship, may have sold certain assets at under value in order to quickly realise cash. However, in selling the assets (and effectively putting them out of the reach of the creditors) the Debtor may have undermined their creditors' ability to recover their debt and rendered any security they held over the assets (such as a floating charge), redundant. While the IP's attention will for the most part, be focussed on a snapshot of the Debtor's assets and liabilities at the time of their appointment with a view to distributing to creditors, the right to review and potentially recover

A claimant may find themselves dependent on a friend or relative as a result of their injuries, particularly in the early stages of recovery. In these circumstances, a claim for the reasonable cost of care provided gratuitously (ie without charge) is recoverable. The identity of the carer In law, compensation for the time and effort involved in providing nursing or care services is held on trust by the claimant for the benefit of the carer. It follows that this head of damage cannot be recovered if the defendant provided the care. The reasoning for this is that the claimant cannot recover damages from the defendant only to hold them on trust for the same defendant. Instead, a claimant may receive care from a different family member or friend or pay for it commercially. Another consequence is that where the claimant is unable to repay the money (eg if the carer has died or the claimant is no longer in contact with them), the court is unlikely to make an award. What type of care

The effect of section 64 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (LTA 1954) is that, where a LTA 1954, s 25 notice or LTA 1954, s 26 request has been served and an application made to the court, the tenancy will continue until three months after the application is 'finally disposed of' and any time for appealing has expired. Where an application is made to the court, CPR 7.5(1) requires the claim form to be served within four months. Where the claimant

Gray (Gy) is a unit of measurement for the absorbed dose. The absorbed dose was formerly measured in rads and 1 Gray = 100 rads. See Absorbed Dose. When it comes into contact with matter, radiation'>ionising radiation collides with the atoms comprising it. During these interactions, it releases a part or all of its energy. The absorbed dose (expressed in Gray) is defined by the ratio of this released energy over the mass of the matter. A Gray corresponds to one Joule of energy released in one kilogram of matter.

What is a grazing agreement? A grazing agreement is an agreement under which a landowner allows a grazier to use the landowner’s land to graze animals belonging to or under the stewardship of the grazier. Such an agreement will often be granted for the summer season (April to October), but can be granted for any period and at any time of year. According to the circumstances (as discussed below) such an agreement may give rise to a licence or a tenancy. Status of grazing agreements under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 The Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 (AHA 1986) gives security of tenure and other valuable rights to any person who holds a ‘contract of tenancy’ in relation to ’agricultural land’. ‘Agricultural land’ means land used for ‘agriculture’, and the definition of ‘agriculture’ includes ‘grazing’ (see AHA 1986, ss 1, 96(1)). A ‘contract of tenancy’ means a ‘letting of land, or agreement for letting land for a term of years or from year to year...’. On the face of it, therefore, a short-term letting of land, or the grant of a
