Total lossA technical expression, importing an utter loss of the property for the voyage, and no more.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Technical
That which properly belongs to an art.
Expression
The term or use of language employed to explain a thing.
Loss
contracts. The deprivation of something which one had, which was either advantageous, agreeable or commodious.
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.
