Property Taking

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the June 26th, 2007

A taking is an action by a government depriving a person of private property without the payment of just compensation. A government could effect this taking in several ways including:

  • physically occupying it and preventing others to enter upon it;
  • exercising the power of eminent domain; and
  • regulating its use to such a degree that no longer has any economically viable use (a regulatory taking).
  • confiscation by repossession, followed by property auction to pay a debt (such as unpaid property taxes) or judgment


United States

In the United States, according to the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, taking of private real property for public use by the government requires due process of law and just compensation to the owner for the value of the property taken. State law typically says that the use of takings by eminent domain must be for a legitimate public purpose, although exact wording of laws varies from state to state.

The most significant recent caselaw in this area is Kelo v. City of New London, which held that the “public use” component of a taking exists even where the property taken will be put to strictly private use.

Estate Messuage

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the June 26th, 2007

In law, the term messuage equates to a dwelling-house and includes outbuildings, orchard, curtilage or court-yard and garden. At one time messuage supposedly had a more extensive meaning than that comprised in the word house or site, but such distinction, if it ever existed, no longer survives.

A capital messuage is the main messuage of an estate, the house in which the owner of the estate normally lives.

The word messuage derives from the Anglo-French mesuage (holding), probably a corruption of popular Latin mansio, whence modern French maison (house), from manere (to dwell).

Estate marketing Direct Marketing Associations

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the June 12th, 2007

Direct Marketing Associations are national trade organizations that seek to advance all forms of direct marketing.

23 direct marketing trade associations from five continents established an International Federation of Direct Marketing Associations. Founded in 1989, the IFDMA was established to develop firm lines of communications between direct marketers around the world, and is dedicated to improving the practice and communicating the value of direct marketing; and to promoting the highest standards for ethical conduct and effective self-regulation of the direct marketing community.

The purposes of Direct Marketing Associations are generally:

  • Promoting direct marketing techniques and companies to consumers.
  • Fighting negative images of the direct marketing industry.
  • Providing training and professional development opportunities to marketers.
  • Conducting industry research.
  • Hosting networking conferences for marketers.
  • Promoting direct marketing, informing consumers of the safeguards that exist, and promoting the DMA as their protector, contact point and regulator.
  • Trying to ensure that their members create consumer confidence.
  • Advising how companies should use information by operating within the terms of Data Protection Acts.
  • Lobbying against Data Protection Acts which protect data against redistribution.
  • Lobbying against laws forbidding e-mail address harvesting.

Direct Marketing Associations have attracted controversy, as they purport to defend and promote spam, junk mail, and telemarketing, which many consumers find irritating and intrusive. The DMA has a political action committee that makes political contributions in order to further its causes. The DMA asserts that the mass-mailings done by its members are both economically and environmentally beneficial (the latter because they supposedly reduce the number of car trips taken by shoppers who would otherwise shop at conventional stores).

Property Privatism

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the June 8th, 2007

Privatism is a generic term describing any belief that people have a right to the private ownership of certain things. There are many degrees of privatism, from the advocacy of limited private property over specific kinds of items to the advocacy of unrestricted private property over everything.

In general, privatism is used in the context of radical left-wing politics (communism, syndicalism, revolutionary socialism), to distinguish those who support some kind of private property from those who want private property abolished altogether.

In Sociology, privatism can mean the tendency to spend more time within private social institutions, such as the family, rather than in public institutions such as churches or community groups. It can be characterised by spending more time at home or doing things only with one’s family. It has been argued that privatism is on the increase in wealthy western societies, however this is not universally accepted.

It is a tenure by copy of court roll, but not expressed to be at the will of the lord. It is, in fact, only a superior kind of copyhold, and the freehold is in the lord. It is subject to the general law of copyholds, except where the law may be varied by the custom of the particular manor.
