Proposition
|
|
PropositionAn offer to do something. Until it has been accepted, a proposition may be withdrawn by the party who makes it; and to be binding, the acceptance must be in the same terms, without any variation.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Offer

Proposition

Party
Practice, contracts. When applied to practice, by party is understood either the plaintiff or defendant. In contracts, a party is one or more persons who engage to perform or receive the performance of some agreement.
Acceptance
One of three requisites to a valid contract under common law (the other two being an offer and consideration). A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties which starts with an offer from one person but which does not become a contract until the other party signifies an unequivocal willingness to accept the terms of that offer. The moment of acceptance is the moment from which a contract is said to exist, and not before. Acceptance need not always be direct and can, in certain circumstances, be implied by conduct.
Without
Pleading. This word is adopted in formal traverses, and is a negative signifying "and not for;" accordingly the language of the elder entries sometimes is, It et nemy pur tiel cause.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Proper
That which is essential, suitable, adapted, and correct.
Proper law
The principle of the conflict of laws according to which the law applicable to a given legal situation should be the law having the closest and most real connection to the case. The term "proper law of the contract" was first used by Westlake in A Treatise on Private International Law, with principal reference to its practice in England.
Properly applicable law
The law which has the closest and most real connection (or most significant relationship) with the contract or tort, based upon the connecting factors (contacts). The properly applicable law may be identified by the application to any conflict of laws problem of a consistent methodology (supra), such as that proposed in Tetley, Int'l C. of L., 1994 at pp. 35-43, 41-42.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
Property tax
A tax levied on land and buildings (real estate) and on personal property.
Propinquity

Proponent
Ecclesiastical law. One who propounds a telling.
Proportionate fault
The rule for apportioning damages in tort / delict, whereby each party whose fault has contributed to the total loss or damage is held liable for that loss or damage in a proportion corresponding to that party's fault or negligence.

Propria persona
