Duties
|
|
DutiesIn its most enlarged sense, this word is nearly equivalent to taxes, embracing all impositions or charges levied on persons or things; in its more restrained sense, it is often used as equivalent to customs or imposts.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Word
Construction. One or more syllables which when united convey an idea a single part of speech.
Equivalent
Of the same value.
Taxes
Government's forcible collection of money from the supposedly free citizens. The excuse for this is catering for the needs of others, as well as vague concepts like "general interest" or the country's public welfare. In democratic countries, taxes are theoretically legitimized by the majority's will via laws enacted by a representative parliament, but the fundamental flaw remains that the taxed citizen has not been invited to negotiate the tax individually.
Impositions
Imposts, taxes, or contributions.
Charges
The term charges signifies the expenses which have been incurred in relation either to a transaction or to a suit; as the charges incurred for his benefit must be paid by a hirer; the defendant must pay the charges of a suit.
Things
By this word is understood every object, except man, which may become an active subject of right. Code du Canton de Berne, art. 332. In this sense it is opposed, in the language of the law, to the word persons.
Customs
This term is usually applied to those taxes which are payable upon goods and merchandise imported or exported.
Imposts
The state of being incapable of prescription.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Duplicatum jus
A twofold or double right. Those words signify the same as dreit dreit, or droit droit, and are applied to a writ of right, patent, and such other writs of right as are of the same nature, and do, as it were, flow from it, as the writ of right.
Durante
A term equivalent to during.
Durante absentia
When the executor is out of the jurisdiction of the court or officer to whom belongs the probate of wills and granting letters of administration, letters of administration will be granted to another during the absence of the executor; and the person thus appointed is called the administrator durante absentia.
Durante minore aetate
During the minority.
Duress
Where a person is prevented from acting (or not acting) according to their free will, by threats or force of another, it is said to be "under duress". Contracts signed under duress are voidable and, in may places, you cannot be convicted of a crime if you can prove that you were forced or threatened into committing the crime (although this defence may not be available for serious crimes).
Duties
Dwelling house
A building inhabited by man. A mansion.
Dying declarations
When a man has received a mortal wound or other injury, by which he is in imminent danger of dying, and believes that he must die, and afterwards does die, the statements he makes as to the manner in which he received such injury, and the person who committed it, are called his dying declarations.
Dynasty
A succession of kings in the same line or family; government; sovereignty.
Dysnomy
Bad legislation; the enactment of bad laws.
Dyspepsia
Medical jurisprudence. , contracts. A state of the stomach in which its functions are disturbed, without the presence of other diseases; or when, if other diseases are present, they are of minor importance.
