ok sure lets toss USA and all other countries into this mix that use the law of property....NYGman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 5:48 amUm, why do I give notice to what Blackstone has said, when it is not a legal source I can place any reliance on. That and it appears you are quoting older versions which makes it more irrelevant.
Let me clearly undodge this for you, NO IT ISN'T. In the US it has absolutely no relevance at all. NONE, ZERO, ZIP, NADA, NUNC PRO TUNC. It is meaningless.once again dodged the point, that is SETTLED LAND ACT APPLIES AND IS PART OF THE COMMON LAW....
All your posts seem to do is demonstrate you total lack of understanding of the current legal system, legal research, common law, and prehaps even common sense. You may think you understand and have a point to make, but it really is all gobble goop. Your arguments wouldn't hold up in a court, and would never be given any consideration for a legal publication. It is more appropriate in the fiction section, or as part of an alternative history novel.
For the love of everything sane, please stop implying Blackstone has any authority today, and that everyone must be bound by Canadian or UK law. Just because the "common law" evolved from the UK doesn't mean it is relevant to me today on the US. Heck, it likely isn't relevant in the UK or Canada to the extent superceded by more modern statutes and laws. You need to understand how that process works, to know that you are using current law when analysing a legal issue. You are not doing that and therefore by a combination or irrelevant and outdated sources you are trying to prove a current point, and it just doesn't work.
please explain this then?
how about per auter vieMeanwell v. Meanwell, 1941 CanLII 456 (MB CA)
In Doe d. Hanington y. McFadden, (c 836) z N.B.R. z6o (Berton's
Reports), Chipman, C.J., at p. 267, says:
The rule laid down by Blackstone is that "Colonists carry with them
only so much of the English law as is applicable to their own situation
and the condition of an English colony; such, for instance, as the
general rules of inheritance, and of protection from personal injuries:"
The same doctrine is maintained by Lord Mansfield in Rex v. Vaughan,
(1769) 4 Burr. 2494; Campbell v. Hall, (1774) Lofft, 655; 20 Howell's
State Trials ; 239. In the case of The Attorney-General v. Stewart, (1817)
2 Mer. 143, in which the question was whether the Statute of Mortmain
(9 Geo. 2, ch. 36) extended to the Island of Grenada, Sir William
Grant, M.R., also adopts substantially the same rule, and makes the
determination of the point to depend upon this consideration—"Whether
it be a law of local policy, adapted solely to the country in which it was
made, or a general regulation of property, equally applicable to any
country in which it is by the rules of English law that property is
governed." He comes to the conclusion that the Mortmain Act is
quite inapplicable to Grenada or any other colony, because "in its
causes, its provisions, its qualifications, and its exceptions, it is a law
wholly English; calculated for purposes of local policy, complicated
with local establishments, and incapable, without great incongruity in
the effect, of being transferred as it stands into the code of any other
country."
what about this? josh blackman and the usa law course that is the same foundation as harvard law wrong ?
