Word
Construction. One or more syllables which when united convey an idea a single part of speech.
Civil
1) It is used in contradistinction to barbarous or savage, to indicate a state of society reduced to order and regular government; thus we speak of civil life, civil society, civil government, and civil liberty. 2) It is sometimes used in contradistinction to criminal, to indicate the private rights and remedies of men, as members of the community, in contrast to those which are public and relate to the government; thus we speak of civil process and criminal process, civil jurisdiction and criminal jurisdiction.
Contract
A negotiated oral or written agreement setting forth the terms for an exchange of value between parties (which may be individuals or companies) and under which each party promises to perform an obligation. Certain terms, such as the obligations to be performed and the terms for setting price or compensation must be mutually understood, known in legal lingo as a "meeting of the minds," and promised to by the parties to form a legal contract.
Creditor
Creditor or obligee. Contracts. The person in favor of whom some obliga- tion is contracted, whether such obligation be to pay money, or to do, or not to do something.
Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
Fruit
Property. The produce of tree or plant containing the seed or used for food. Fruit is considered real estate, before it is separated from the plant or tree on which it grows; after its separation it acquires the character of personally, and may be the subject of larceny; it then has all the qualities of personal property. The term fruit, among the civilians, signifies not only the production of trees and other plants, but all sorts of revenue of whatever kind they may be.
Pledge
Pledge or pawn. Contracts. These words seem indifferently used to convey the same idea. 2) Pledge Contracts. He who becomes security for another, and, in this sense, every one who becomes bail for another is a pledge
Condition
Persons. The situation in civil society which creates certain relations between the individual, to whom it is applied, and one or more others, from which mutual rights and obligations arise.
Interest
1) Estates. The right which a man has in a chattel real, and more particularly in a future term. It is a word of less efficacy and extent than estates, though, in legal understanding, an interest extends to estates, rights and titles which a man has in or out of lands, so that by a grant of his whole interest in land, a reversion as well as the fee simple shall pass. 2) Contracts. The right of property which a man has in a thing, commonly called insurable interest. 3) Evidence. The benefit which a person has in the matter about to be decided and which is in issue between the parties.
Principal
1) This word has several meanings. It is used in opposition to accessary, to show the degree of crime committed by two persons; thus, we say, the principal is more guilty than the accessary after the fact. 2) Contracts. One who, being competent to contract, and who is sui juris, employs another to do any act for his own benefit, or on his own account. 3) Criminal law. A principal is one who is the actor in the commission of a crime.
Debt

Anti-suit injunction
An extraordinary procedure where a court issues an order to the effect that proceedings in a second jurisdiction should not proceed. The injunction is usually 1) based on the principle of forum non conveniens (infra); and requires 2) that the first court is more convenient to the parties; 3) a motion of forum non conveniens has been made in the second jurisdiction and has failed; and 4) that the complainant will not be unduly disadvantaged by proceeding in the first jurisdiction. Examples of the injunction are cases where real (immoveable) property in the first jurisdiction is involved or where there is a jurisdiction or arbitration clause calling for proceedings in the first jurisdiction or where a law of the first jurisdiction specifically forbids suit on a certain subject, e.g. claims for damages caused by asbestos produced in the first jurisdiction.
