Â Judd v Sun Newspapers [1930] 30 State Reports New South Wales 1930 Harvey C.J, Halse Rogers J Commonwealth, Defamation (Australia) The plaintiff was put in the box as a witness but not asked any questions by his counsel, nor did he give any evidence in chief; he was, however, cross-examined by counsel for the defendants, at great length, not only in regard to matters material to the facts alleged in the article complained of, but also as to his use of violent, abusive, and insulting language in regard to other persons entirely distinct from matters at issue between the parties. Held: Harvey C.J. "Damages which a jury may award a plaintiff may possibly be increased by the outrageous nature of the language in which the libel is couched, or lessened by the provocative conduct or language of the plaintiff, just as damages may be aggravated by the way in which the defendant has conducted his case in the Court. In my humble judgment, those elements of damage are hard to justify on principle, but have been sanctioned by usage, and as an indulgence to what is called the practical common sense of juries." and (Halse Rogers J) "Where the language complained of in the action has been provoked by the language of the plaintiff, and relates to the same subject matter, there is sound reason for admitting evidence of all the circumstances in which the libel was published, and for inviting the jury to consider the conduct of the plaintiff on the question of damages" 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Edwards v Attorney-General for Canada [1930] AC 124 1930 PC Lord Sankey LC Commonwealth (Canada) Â Mehrban Khan v Makhna (1930) 57 Ind App 168 1930 Lord Tomlin Commonwealth, Land It is open to a later encumbrancer of land who has a right to redeem a prior charge, to come to court and establish that a term in that prior charge relating to the right to redeem is an unconscionable term and if that is established the term will be of no effect for all purposes. 1 Citers Â Syed Mahammed Mazaffar-Al-Musavi v Bibi Jabeda Khatun and Others [1930] UKPC 1 21 Jan 1930 PC Commonwealth (Fort William (Bengal)) [ Bailii ] Â Cooper v Dhairyawan Annasaheb Narandas Thakersey Mulji and Others [1930] UKPC 6 21 Jan 1930 PC Commonwealth (Bombay) [ Bailii ] Â The Ottoman Bank v Etienne Chakarian (Cyprus) [1930] UKPC 3 21 Jan 1930 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Kamini Kumar Basu Thakur and Others v Birendra Nath Basu Thakur and Another (Fort William (Bengal)) [1930] UKPC 4 21 Jan 1930 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â James Richardson and Sons, Limited and Another v The Ship Robert J.

The claim was dismissed by the judge at first instance on the ground that it disclosed no cause of action. Held: The Court allowed the appeal: "If then, as seems clearly established, the plaintiff had the right to the custody and control of the remains of his deceased wife any unauthorised interference with that right, such as is alleged, was an invasion of his right and would give a cause of action." 1 Citers Â Proprietary Articles Trade Association v Attorney-General for Canada [1931] AC 310; 100 LJPC 84 1931 PC Lord Atkin Criminal Practice, Commonwealth The Board was asked how to identify whether an allegation amounted to a criminal one. Lord Atkin said: "It appears to their Lordships to be of little value to seek to confine crimes to a category of acts which by their very nature belong to the domain of 'criminal jurisprudence'; for the domain of criminal jurisprudence can only be ascertained by examining what acts at any particular period are declared by the state to be crimes, and the only common nature they will be found to possess is that they are prohibited by the state and that those who commit them are punished." and "It certainly is not confined to what was criminal by the law of England or of any Province in 1867. The power must extend to legislation to make new crimes. Criminal law connotes only the quality of such acts or omissions as are prohibited under appropriate penal provisions by authority of the State. The criminal quality of an act cannot be discerned by intuition; nor can it be discovered by reference to any standard but one: is the act prohibited with penal consequences?" 1 Cites 1 Citers Â J C Williamson Ltd v Lukey and Mulholland (1931) 45 CLR 282 1931 Dixon J Litigation Practice, Commonwealth (High Court of Australia) Dixon J said: "Specific performance is inapplicable when the continued supervision of the Court is necessary in order to ensure the fulfilment of the contract." 1 Citers [ Austlii ] Â Lynn v Nathanson [1931] 2 DLR 457 1931 Commonwealth, Taxes Management, Landlord and Tenant (Nova Scotia Court of Appeal) A government theatre tax had to be paid by patrons who bought two tickets, one for the theatre and one for the tax.

Held. When testing the validity of a law passed by the government of a dominion, the question was "whether the law in question can be truly described as being for the peace, order and good government of the Dominion concerned." This law was extra territorial. 1 Citers Â Munro v Commissioner for Stamp Duties [1934] AC 61; [1933] All ER Rep 185 1933 PC Lord Tomlin Stamp Duty, Commonwealth In 1909, the deceased orally agreed with his six children that he and they would carry on the business of graziers on land owned by him as partners under a partnership at will. In 1913 the deceased transferred by way of gift the freehold interest in portions of the land to each of his four sons and to trustees for each of his two daughters and their children. The transfers were taken subject to the partnership agreement. In 1919 the deceased and his children entered into a formal partnership agreement, which provided that during his lifetime no partner should withdraw from the partnership. On the deceased's death in 1929 a claim for death duties was made in respect of the land transferred to his children in 1913. Held: The gift had been subject to the rights of the partnership, so that the donor's occupation was by virtue of property which had never been included in the gift. Lord Tomlin said: "It is unnecessary to determine the precise nature of the right of the partnership at the time of the transfers. It was either a tenancy during the term of the partnership or a licence coupled with an interest. In either view what was comprised in the gift was, in the case of each of the gifts to the children and the trustees, the property shorn of the right which belonged to the partnership, and upon this footing it is in their Lordships' opinion plain that the donee in each case assumed bona fide possession and enjoyment of the gift immediately upon the gift and thenceforward retained it to the exclusion of the donor." 1 Citers Â Raja Mohan and Others v Nisar Ahmad Khan and Another (Consolidated Appeals) (Lucknow) [1933] UKPC 3 12 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Pandit Bachchu Lal Alias Ram Shankar and Others v Chaaudhri Syed Mohammad Mah and Others (Consolidated Appeals) (Lucknow) [1933] UKPC 2 12 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Musammat Bahu Rani and Another v Thakur Rajendra Baksh Singh (Lucknow) [1933] UKPC 1 12 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Shrimati Kalawati Devi v Dharam Prakash (Allahabad) [1933] UKPC 4 12 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Rai Bahadur Sahu Har Prasad and Others v Shaikh Fazal Ahmad and Others (Allahabad) [1933] UKPC 5 13 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Mahanth Ram Charan Das v Munshi Naurangi Lal and Others (Patna) [1933] UKPC 6 17 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Maung Maung Gyi and Another v Ma Nyi Ma Gyi and Another (Rangoon) [1933] UKPC 7 20 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Kunwar Mahabir Singh v Kunwar Rohini Ramanadhwaj Prasad Singh (Allahabad) [1933] UKPC 10 24 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Commissioner of Income Tax v Maharajah Kameshwar Singh of Darbhanga (Consolidated Appeals) (Patna) [1933] UKPC 8 24 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Raja Raghunandan Prasad Singh and Another v The Commissioner of Income Tax, Bihar and Orissa (Patna) [1933] UKPC 9 24 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Thotapalli Sarvabhotla Venkata Chandikamba v Indrakanti Viswanathamayya (Madras) [1933] UKPC 12 27 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Dwarkanath Varma and Gaya Prasad v The King-Emperor (Patna) [1933] UKPC 11 27 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â R S Rochi Ram v Faizullah Khan and Others (Consolidated Appeals) (North-West Frontier Province) [1933] UKPC 13 30 Jan 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Gummidelli Anantapadmanabhaswami v The Official Receiver of Secunderabad and Others (Madras) [1933] UKPC 14 2 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Bai Krishnabai v Framroz Edulji Dinshaw and Another (Bombay) [1933] UKPC 15 3 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Shaik Sahied Bin Abdullah Bajerai v S S T Sockalingham Chettiar (Singapore) [1933] UKPC 16 3 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Thakur Jagdishwar Dayal Singh v Pathak Dwarka Singh and Others (Patna) [1933] UKPC 17 14 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â John Gilbert Sutton v The King (Cyprus) [1933] UKPC 18 20 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Ram Raghubir and Others v The United Refiners (Burma), Limited and Others (Rangoon) [1933] UKPC 19 20 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Secretary of State for India In Council, Through The Collector of Tanjore v S Subramany Ayyar, Trustee of The Rameswaram Devasthanam (Madras) [1933] UKPC 20 20 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Rhodesia Railways, Limited v The Resident Commissioner and Treasurer of Bechuanaland Protectorate and Another (Bechuanaland Protectorate) [1933] UKPC 21 21 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Rhodesia Railways, Limited v The Resident Commissioner and Treasurer of Bechuanaland Protectorate (Bechuanaland Protectorate) [1933] UKPC 22 21 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Commissioner of Stamps, Straits Settlements v Oei Tjong Swan and Others (Consolidated Appeals) (Singapore) [1933] UKPC 23 28 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Mahant Garuddas v Mahant Laldas and Another (The Court of The Judicial Commissioner of The Central Provinces) [1933] UKPC 24 28 Feb 1933 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â McDonald v Dennys Lascelles Ltd (1933) 48 CLR 457 1 Mar 1933 Dixon J Commonwealth, Contract (High Court of Australia) "When a party to a simple contract, upon breach by the other contracting party of a condition of the contract, elects to treat the contract as no longer binding upon him, the contract is not rescinded as from the beginning.

land, had given transfers by way of security to creditors who fraudulently mortgaged it. The majority in the High Court had held that the unregistered security of the subsequent lender did not take priority over the Lapins’ equitable right to redeem. Knox CJ and Dixon J, in the majority, and Gavan Duffy and Starke JJ, in the minority, agreed that prima facie the equitable interest of the prior equity holder took priority of the later. That position could be disturbed by disentitling conduct on the part of the holder of the prior equity which warranted its postponement to the subsequently acquired equity. Held: The appeal succeeded. The Lapins’ conduct in arming their creditors with the capacity to become the registered proprietors was disentitling conduct. The Board rejected Kindersley V-C’s position that priority in time was the test only where the equities were otherwise equal. It was clearly established that prima facie priority in time would decide the matter unless there was something “tangible and distinct having grave and strong effect” to warrant taking away the pre-existing equitable title. "For the general protection of equitable interest or estates, the act provides that a caveat may be lodged with the registrar by any person claiming as cestui que trust, or under any unregistered instrument or any other estate or interest; the effect of the caveat is that no instrument will be registered while the caveat is in force affecting the land, estate or interest until after a certain notice to the person lodging the caveat. Thus, though the legal interest is in general determined by the registered transfer, mortgages or other changes, the register may bear on its face and notice of the equitable claims, so as to warn persons dealing in respect of the land and to enable the equitable claimant to protect his claim by enabling him to bring an action if his claim is disputed." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â The Maharajadhiraj of Darbhanga v The Commissioner of Income Tax, Bihar and Orissa (Patna) [1934] UKPC 34 19 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Attorney General of Ontario v Gordon Perry (Ontario) [1934] UKPC 32 19 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Yoosuf Ismailbhoy Abdullabhoy Lalljee v Ibrahim Fazulbhoy Joomabhoy Lalljee and Another (Bombay) [1934] UKPC 36 21 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â PK PS Pichappa Chettiar and Others v Chokalingam Pillai and Others (Madras) [1934] UKPC 35 21 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â F E Dinshaw v The Commissioner of Income Tax, Bombay Presidency (Bombay) [1934] UKPC 37 22 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Honourable Thomas Patrick Doyle, MLC v The Attorney General of New South Wales (New South Wales) [1934] UKPC 39 26 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Abdul Latif Khan and Others v Musammat Abadi Begam and Others [1934] UKPC 38 26 Jun 1934 PC Commonwealth (Lucknow) [ Bailii ] Â Kumar Kamakhya Narain Singh v Abhiman Singh and Others (Patna) [1934] UKPC 40 2 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â David Evaristo Akerele v The King (Nigeria) [1934] UKPC 41 5 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Lachmi Narain and Another v Syed Ibrahim Hussain Alias Manjhle Nawab, Through Manager, Court of Wards, Patna (Patna) [1934] UKPC 42 10 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Pearl Assurance Company, Limited v The Government of The Union of South Africa (South Africa) [1934] UKPC 43 10 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Canadian Electrical Association and Others v The Canadian National Railways and Others (Canada) [1934] UKPC 44 12 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Harry Oakes v Charles S Frankland (Ontario) [1934] UKPC 45 16 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Bhaiya Raghunath Singh and Others v Musammat Hansraj Kunwar and Others (Allahabad) [1934] UKPC 47 19 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Kunwar Toshanpal Singh and Others v The District Judge of Agra and Others (Allahabad) [1934] UKPC 46 19 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Babu Dal Bahadur Singh and Another v Babu Har Bakhsh Singh and Another (Lucknow) [1934] UKPC 48 19 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Lala Kalyan Mal, Receiver of The Firm Shi-Mal Manohar Das v Ahmad Uddin Khan and Another (Allahabad) [1934] UKPC 50 20 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Nawab Major Mohd Akbar Khan v Khan Bahadur Mian Musharaf Shar and Another [1934] UKPC 51 20 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth (The Court of The Judicial Commissioner of The North-West Frontier Province) [ Bailii ] Â Bisheshaw Pratap Sahi Since Deceased (Now Represented By B Lachmeshwar Pratap Sahi Alias Rajaji), and Another v Parath Nath and Another (Allahabad) [1934] UKPC 49 20 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Khan Bahadur Mian Pir Bux v Sardar Marhomed Tahar (Sind) [1934] UKPC 52 23 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Khoo Tek Keong v Ch'Ng Joo Tuan Neoh, Since Deceased, and Another (Penang) [1934] UKPC 53 23 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Sheo Swarup and Others v The King-Emperor (Allahabad) [1934] UKPC 55 26 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Warren Duane Smith v The King (Bermuda) [1934] UKPC 59 26 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Mundancheri Koman Mundancheri Mutha Nair v Thachangat Puthan Vittil Achuthan Nair and Others (Madras) [1934] UKPC 58 26 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Laura Mcewan v Arthur Cosens and Others (Canada) [1934] UKPC 57 26 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Paterson Steamships Limited v Canadian Co-Operative Wheat Producers, Limited (Quebec) [1934] UKPC 56 26 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â In The Matter of A Reference Under The Judicial Committee Act, 1833, In The Matter of Piracy Jure Gentium v Jcpc [1934] UKPC 54 26 Jul 1934 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Vancouver General Hospital v McDaniel [1934] 56 LT 56; [1934] UKPC 60 27 Jul 1934 PC Lord Alness Professional Negligence, Commonwealth British Columbia A hospital owes a duty to establish adequate procedures to safeguard patients from cross-infection.

It then became unlawful for a ship to use otter trawl, the only equipment available to the ship, without a licence, but the number of licences was restricted and did not include this ship. The charterers claimed that the contract was frustrated. The Supreme Court of Canada had said that the contract remaned binding since the charterers had selected other ships to be licensed. Held: The decision to opt to licence other ships determined the appeal in favour of the owners. The loss of the St. Cuthbert's licence was correctly described, quoad the appellants as "a self induced frustration." Lord Wright, referred to criticism of Krell v. Henry and said: "The authority is certainly not one to be extended: it is particularly difficult to apply where, as in the present case, the possibility of the event relied on as constituting a frustration of the adventure (here the failure to obtain a licence) was known to both parties when the contract was made, but the contract entered into was absolute in terms so far as concerned that known possibility. It may be asked whether in such cases there is any reason to throw the loss on those who have undertaken to place the thing or service for which the contract provides at the other party's disposal and are able and willing to do so." 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] - [ Bailii ] Â Hari v The King Emperor (The Commissioner of Sind) [1935] UKPC 21 12 Apr 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Sri Raja Vasireddi Sri Chandra Mouleswara Prasada Bahadur Zamindar Garu v The Secretary of State for India In Council and Another (Madras) [1935] UKPC 23 16 Apr 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Harold Longworth and Others v William Wells Robinson and Others (New South Wales) [1935] UKPC 22 16 Apr 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Tarakdas Acharjee Choudhurry, Since Deceased (Now Represented By Asitabarani Debi), and Others v The Secretary of State for India In Council and Others (Fort William (Bengal)) [1935] UKPC 24 13 May 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Kunwar Basant Singh and Others v Kunwar Brij Raj Saran Singh, Since Deceased (Allahabad) [1935] UKPC 25 17 May 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Standard Fuel Company of Toronto Limited v The Toronto Terminal Railway Company (Ontario) [1935] UKPC 26 17 May 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Babu Sheonandan Prasad Singh and Others v Hakim Abul Fateh Mohammad Reza and Another (Patna) [1935] UKPC 27 21 May 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Commissioner of Income Tax, Madras v P.R.A.L.

It is, however, essential in English law that the duty should be established; the mere fact that a man is injured by another's act gives in itself no cause of action. If the act is deliberate, the party injured will have no claim in law even though the injury was intentional so long as the other party is merely exercising a legal right; if the act involves lack of due care, again no case of actionable negligence will arise unless the duty to be careful exists." and "the appellant is not required to lay his finger on the exact person in all the chain who was responsible, or specify what he did wrong. Negligence is found as a matter of inference from the existence of the defect taken in connection with all the known circumstances" Lord Wright said: "Mr. Greene further contended on behalf of the manufacturers that if the decision in Donoghue's case [1932] AC 562, 591, were extended even a hair's-breadth, no line could be drawn, and a manufacturer's liability would be extended indefinitely. He put as an illustration the case of a foundry which had cast a rudder to be fitted on a liner: he assumed that it was fitted and the steamer sailed the seas for some years: but the rudder had a latent defect due to faulty and negligent casting, and one day it broke, with the result that the vessel was wrecked, with great loss of life and damage to property. He argued that if Donoghue's case were extended beyond its precise facts, the maker of the rudder would be held liable for damages of an indefinite amount, after an indefinite time, and to claimants indeterminate until the event. But it is clear that such a state of things would involve many considerations far removed from the simple facts of this case. So many contingencies must have intervened between the lack of care on the part of the makers and the casualty that it may be that the law would apply, as it does in proper cases, not always according to strict logic, the rule that cause and effect must not be too remote: in any case the element of directness would obviously be lacking. Lord Atkin deals with that sort of question in Donoghue's case where he refers to Earl v. Lubbock [1905] 1 K.B. 253, 259: he quotes the commonsense opinion of Mathew L.J.: 'It is impossible to accept such a wide proposition, and, indeed, it is difficult to see how, if it were the law, trade could be carried on.' In their Lordships' opinion it is enough for them to decide this case on its actual facts." Lord Wright also said: "a thing is sold by description, though it is specific, so long as it is sold not merely as the specific thing, but as a thing corresponding to a description " 1 Citers [ Bailii ] - [ Bailii ] Â Northwestern Utilities, Limited v London Guarantee and Accident Company Limited and Others (Alberta) [1935] UKPC 63 24 Oct 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Commissioner of Income Tax, Madras v The Buckingham and Carnatic Company Limited Madras (Madras) [1935] UKPC 64 25 Oct 1935 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Commissioner of Income Tax, Bombay v Currimbhoy Ebrahim and Sons, Limited (As Agent of H.E.H.

Dixon J said: "The justice of an estoppel is not established by the fact in itself that a state of affairs has been assumed as the basis of action or inaction and that a departure from the assumption would turn the action or inaction into a detrimental change of position. It depends also on the manner in which the assumption has been occasioned or induced. Before anyone can be estopped, he must have played such a part in the adoption of the assumption that it would be unfair or unjust if he were left free to ignore it. But the law does not leave such a question of fairness or justice at large. It defines with more or less completeness the kinds of participation in the making or acceptance of the assumption that will suffice to preclude the party if the other requirements for an estoppel are satisfied." and "It is important to notice that belief in the correctness of the facts or state of affairs assumed is not always necessary. Parties may adopt as the conventional basis of a transaction between them an assumption which they know to be contrary to the actual state of affairs. . . Parties to a deed sometimes deliberately set out an hypothetical state of affairs as the basis of their covenance in order to create a mutual estoppel."

Held: Lord Romer said that the meaning of such words as reside or residence, "obviously depends upon the context in which the words are used" and "Where it is doubtful whether a condition be precedent or subsequent the Court prima facie treats it as being subsequent.

Immigration, Commonwealth, International Hong Kong. Held: The applicant could not invoke any right under the rule of international law which placed upon a state a duty to receive its own national, because that rule was inconsistent with the domestic law. In modern times the idea of even a Government ship being a "floating island," belonging to and retaining the law of the country of its flag, has been abandoned. Lord Atkin said: " [S]o far, at any rate, as the Courts of this country are concerned, international law has no validity save in so far as its principles are accepted and adopted by our own domestic law. There is no external power that imposes its rules upon our own code of substantive law or procedure. The Courts acknowledge the existence of a body of rules which nations accept amongst themselves. On any judicial issue they seek to ascertain what the relevant rule is, and, having found it, they will treat it as incorporated into the domestic law, so far as it is not inconsistent with rules enacted by statutes or finally declared by their tribunals. . .

Lord Romer rejected the suggestion in a compulsory purchase valuation that it would be possible to ascertain the potential special value of land to a "special purchaser" by imagining an auction, as being "an entire waste of the arbitrator's imagination". Potentiality should be valued even if the only likely purchaser is the acquiring authority itself. 1 Citers Â Â Yerkey v Jones; 1939 - (1939) 63 CLR 649 Â Special Reference In The Matter of The Union of The Benefices of Westoe and South Shields, St. Hilda (County of Durham) v Judgment of The Lords of The Judicial Committee of Privy Coucil (Jcpc) [1939] UKPC 1 17 Jan 1939 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Pakala Narayana Swami v The King-Emperor [1939] UKPC 2 20 Jan 1939 PC Commonwealth Patna [ Bailii ] Â Canadian Celanese Limited v The BVD Company Limited [1939] UKPC 3 23 Jan 1939 PC Commonwealth Canada [ Bailii ] Â Dame Diana Meredith and Others v Dame Elizabeth Magdalene Meredith and Others (Quebec) [1939] UKPC 4 24 Jan 1939 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â United Towns Electric Company Limited Appeal No. 9 of 1938) v His Majesty'S Attorney General (Newfoundland) [1939] UKPC 5 27 Jan 1939 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Oudh Commercial Bank Limited Fyzabad v Thakurain Bind Basin Kuer and Others (Oudh Lucknow) [1939] UKPC 6 27 Jan 1939 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Benares Bank Limited v S.

The plaintiff alleged that the collision resulted from the negligence of the defendant's officers, saying the Adelaide was sailing too fast, that it failed to keep a proper lookout for the Coptic and that it was not navigated in a proper and seaman like manner. The defence was that, at the relevant time; the Adelaide was part of the naval forces of Australia and was engaged in active naval operations against the enemy. The Court accepted that in principle such a defence was open to the state:"It could hardly be maintained that during an actual engagement with the enemy or a pursuit of any of his ships the navigating officer of a King's ship of war was under a common-law duty of care to avoid harm to such non-combatant ships as might appear in the theatre of operations. It cannot be enough to say that the conflict or pursuit is a circumstance affecting the reasonableness of the officer's conduct as a discharge of the duty of care, though the duty itself persists. To adopt such a view would mean that whether the combat be by sea, land or air our men go into action accompanied by the law of civil negligence, warning them to be mindful of the person and property of civilians. It would mean that the Courts could be called upon to day whether the soldier on the field of battle or the sailor fighting on his ship might reasonably have been more careful to avoid causing civil loss or damage. No one can imagine a court undertaking the trial of such an issue, either during or after a war. To concede that any civil liability can rest upon a member of the armed forces for supposedly negligent acts or omissions in the course of an actual engagement with the enemy is opposed alike to reason and to policy. But the principle cannot be limited to the presence of the enemy or to occasions when contact with the enemy has been established. Warfare perhaps never did admit of such a distinction, but now it would be quite absurd. The development of the speed of ships and the range of guns were enough to show it to be an impracticable refinement, but it has been put out of question by the bomber, the submarine and the floating mine. The principle must extend to all active operations against the enemy. It must cover attack and resistance, advance and retreat, pursuit and avoidance, reconnaissance and engagement. But the real distinction does exist between active operations against the enemy and other activities of the combatant services in time of war." 1 Citers Â Gadadhur Mullick and Others v The Official Trustee of Bengal, and Others (Fort William (Bengal)) [1940] UKPC 1 16 Jan 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Hori Ram Singh (SL To Appeal) v The King-Emperor (India) [1940] UKPC 2 18 Jan 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Mamur Awqaf of Jaffa v Government of Palestine (Palestine) [1940] UKPC 5 22 Feb 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Rama Shah v Lal Chand (Lahore) [1940] UKPC 6 22 Feb 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Arthur John Mellor v Australian Broadcasting Commission (New South Wales) [1940] UKPC 3 22 Feb 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Syndic of The Bankruptcy of The Firm of S N Khouri v Victor Germain (Palestine) [1940] UKPC 4 22 Feb 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Jagat Singh and Others v Sangat Singh and Others (Lahore) [1940] UKPC 7 26 Feb 1940 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Lethbridge Irrigation District and Another v The Independent Order of Foresters and The Attorney General of Canada and Another [1940] UKPC 8;

Held: Starke J said: "But it does not matter whether the action is framed as an action for defamation or as an action analogous to an action for malicious prosecution or for deceit or, as in this instance, for combining or conspiring together for the purpose of injuring another: the rule of law is that no action lies against witnesses in respect of evidence prepared . . given, adduced or procured by them in the course of legal proceedings. The law protects witnesses and others, not for their benefit, but for a higher interest, namely, the advancement of public justice." 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Austlii ] Â Â Regina v Whitehouse; 1941 - [1941] 1 WWR 112; [1941] 1 DLR 683 Â Canada Rice Mills Ltd v Union Marine and General Insurance Co Ltd [1941] AC 55 1941 PC Lord Wright Commonwealth, Insurance Cargo was on a voyage from Rangoon to British Columbia and insured against perils of the sea. It was damaged by reason of heating occasioned when cargo hold ventilators were closed to prevent ingress of water in heavy weather. The Court of Appeal of British Columbia had held that the cause of the loss was not a peril of the sea because the weather encountered was normal, and such as to be normally expected on a voyage of the character, and there was no weather bad enough to endanger the safety of the ship if the ventilators had not been closed. Held: The appeal succeeded. Lord Wright said: "these are not the true tests." Any accidental ingress of water into the vessel was a peril of the sea. The entry of sea water through an opening by which it was not supposed to enter was accidental even if the sea conditions were entirely normal for those waters at that time of year. Thus, storms that were seasonal and frequent, and therefore to be expected, nevertheless "are outside the ordinary accidents of wind and sea [and are therefore fortuitous]. They may happen on the voyage, but it cannot be said that they must happen." 1 Citers Â Simons Proprietary Ltd v Riddle [1941] NZLR 913 1941 Blair J Defamation, Commonwealth (New Zealand) Blair J said: "On the authorities - see Cassidy v.

Commissioner of Stamp Duties of New South Wales v Perpetual Trustee Co Ltd [1943] AC 425 1943 PC Lord Russell of Killowen Stamp Duty, Commonwealth The Board consideerd the application of the retention of benefit rules. Lord Russell of Killowen said: "the entire exclusion of the donor from . . enjoyment which is contemplated . . is entire exclusion from . . enjoyment of the beneficial interest in property which has been given by the gift, and . . enjoyment by the donor of some beneficial interest therein which he has not included in the gift is not inconsistent with the entire exclusion from . . enjoyment which the sub-section requires." 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Gifford v Kelson (1943) 51 Man R 120 1943 Commonwealth (Canada - Manitoba) "suspicion is much less than belief; belief includes and absorbs suspicion". 1 Citers Â Commissioner for Stamp Duties of New South Wales v Perpetual Trust Company Ltd [1943] AC 425 1943 PC Lord Russell of Killowen Taxes - Other, Commonwealth (Australia) The court considered reservation of benefit rules. Under the settlement the trustees were required to hold certain company shares, to apply the income for the maintenance of the settlor’s son during his minority, and to transfer the shares to him absolutely on his attaining the age of 21. Held: Although the son’s interest was contingent upon his attaining 21, the property comprised in the gift was his equitable interest in the shares; that was assumed by him immediately upon the gift and retained thereafter to the entire exclusion of the settlor; accordingly the shares were not part of the settlor’s dutiable estate. The property comprised in the gift was the equitable interest in the 850 shares which was given by the settlor by his son. The son was (through the medium of the trustees) immediately put in such bona fide beneficial possession and enjoyment of the property comprised in the gift as the nature of the gift and the circumstances permitted. New South Wales Stamp Duties Act 1920 1 Citers Â Regina v Trim [1943] VR 109 1943 Macfarlan, Martin and O’Bryan JJ Commonwealth, Crime (Supreme Court of Victoria) Section 62 of the Crimes Act 1928 made it an offence to do certain acts “with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman”, specifically in the context of an argument (rejected by the court) that it was a defence if the defendant believed that the child in the womb was already dead. Held: Martin J, with whom O’Bryan J agreed (Macfarlan J dissented), treated “miscarriage” as synonymous with “abortion” and as referring variously to the expulsion or removal of “the contents of a gravid uterus”, the “untimely emptying of a uterus which contains the products of a conception” and “the emptying of the contents of the womb”. It was accordingly neither here nor there that the child was already dead. 1 Citers Â Gopal Das and Another v Sri Thakurji and Others (Allahabad) [1943] UKPC 3 22 Jan 1943 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Bhabatarini Debi (Since Deceased) v Ashalata Debi and Others (Fort William (Bengal)) [1943] UKPC 2 22 Jan 1943 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Abraham S.

Jordan CJ had observed that "if a partner in a subsisting partnership finds that his co-partner has made a secret profit for which he is accountable to the firm, this does not entitle him to rescind the partnership ab initio" but "to require the amount to be brought into the partnership account so that he may receive his proper share of it", while "[i]f a person, acting as agent under a subsisting contract of commission agency, accepts a secret commission in relation to an agency transaction, he must account for it to his principal" and "[o]rdinarily he also forfeits his right to commission" 1 Citers Â King-Emperor v Banerji (1945) LR 72 Ind App 241 1945 Commonwealth 1 Citers Â Phillips v Rogers [1945] 2 WWR 53 1945 Commonwealth, Limitation, Contract The creditor argued that the limitation period was extended anew when the debtor wrote: "Re your correspondence re Mr C H Phillips claim $1300 which he is prepared to settle November 1st for $700.

The drover was employed under a written contract to drove 317 cattle to a destination. The contract provided that he should obey and carry out all lawful instructions and use the whole of his time, energy and ability in the careful droving of the stock, that he should provide at his own expense all men, plant, horses and rations required for the operation, and that he should be paid at a rate per head for each of the cattle safely delivered at the destination. Held: He was an independent contractor. Dixon J said: "There is, of course, nothing to prevent a drover and his client forming the relation of employee and employer . . But whether they do so must depend on the facts. In considering the facts it is a mistake to treat as decisive a reservation of control over the manner in which the droving is performed and the cattle are handled. For instance, in the present case the circumstance that the drover agrees to obey and carry out all lawful instructions cannot outweigh the countervailing considerations which are found in the employment by him of servants of his own, the provision of horses, equipment, plant, rations, and a remuneration at a rate per head delivered. That a reservation of a right to direct or superintend the performance of the task cannot transform into a contract of service what in essence is an independent contract appears from . .

Fair J said: "but it is submitted on behalf of the defendants, who are entitled under the intestacy, that it is not admissible to probate on the ground that it was not executed animo testandi- that is, that the testatrix did not intend to sign this document and that this document was never intended by her or anyone to be her will. This would appear, upon careful examination, to be a very technical basis for its rejection, and upon an exact appreciation of the true facts, to lack substance. True, the physical document was not the paper that the testatrix intended to sign, but it was a paper that contained everything that she wished included in the paper she intended to sign except the Christian names of her sister. She adopted it believing that it expressed her intentions in every respect. It does in most, and can be read as carrying out her intentions. It appoints the executor she intended to appoint in the exact terms she intended to appoint it. That in itself if it stood alone would be enough, apart from this formal objection, to entitle it to probate…It also disposes of the residue after the life interest in the exact terms except for the Christian name. There is no doubt that she intended the document to which she put her signature to operate as her will. If she had intended to sign the document in the original typewriting, and she had, by mistake, been given a carbon copy, she would have been executing a paper physically different from that which she intended to sign, but if it had contained a duplicate carbon copy it appears unarguable that document in carbon would be invalid on that ground. The present will seems to us to differ from such copy only in degree and not in substance. No doubt the circumstances of the recital with the wrong Christian name would call for explanation… But the fact that the paper put before the testatrix was different from that which she thought she was signing should not, we think, prevent that part of the document which she wished and believed, and which was, in fat, included, being her testamentary act. The testatrix really did know and approve of the effective provisions contained in it." 1 Citers Â M.

From many years before it had been thought that he had been buried after dying of syphilis. He claimed he had been resuscitated, taken away and brought up by sanyasi. His identity appeared to be subsequently accepted. The committee could not reverse a finding of fact save in the case of a manifest blunder by the lower court, or where there were concurrent and contradictory findings of separate lower courts, or in exceptional cases. The court should be careful to respect the traditions and systems of the countries from which appeal was made. The appellant had been in possession of the estate for many years. However in Hindu law, her possession could not be adverse to that of her husband even though he might be presumed to be dead. Held: The Board will only in exceptional circumstances review evidence for a third time. Exceptional circumstances might include a miscarriage of justice or violation of a principle of law or procedure: "That miscarriage of justice means such a departure from the rules which permeate all judicial procedure as to make that which happened not in the proper sense judicial procedure at all. That the violation of some principle of law or procedure must be such an erroneous proposition of law that if that proposition be corrected the finding cannot stand; or it may be the neglect of some principle of law or procedure, whose application will have the same effect. The question whether there is evidence on which the courts could arrive at their finding is such a question of law." 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] - [ PC ] Â Ramdhandas Jhajharia v Ramkiondas Dalmia and Others (Bombay) [1946] UKPC 31 30 Jul 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Sellamani Ammal v Thillai Ammal and Another (Madras) [1946] UKPC 33 30 Jul 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Srimati Bibhabati Devi v Kumar Ramenda Narayan Roy and Others (Fort William (Bengal)) [1946] UKPC 32 30 Jul 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â British Columbia Electric Railway Company, Limited v His Majesty The King On The Information of The Attorney General of Canada (Canada) [1946] UKPC 34 31 Jul 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Auckland Electric-Power Board v The Public Trustee of The Dominion of New Zealand (New Zealand) [1946] UKPC 38 10 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â His Majesty The King v Dominion Engineering Company Limited (Canada) [1946] UKPC 36 10 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Gooderharm and Worts, Limited v Canadian Broadcasting Corporation [1946] UKPC 37 10 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Egged Co-Operative Society Ltd. v Levi Geffen (Palestine) [1946] UKPC 40 10 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Province of Bombay v The Municipal Corporation of The City of Bombay and Another (Bombay) [1946] UKPC 41 10 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Thakur Chandra Singh Istimrardar of Bandanwara (District Ajmer) v Mod Singh and Another (Ajmer-Merwara) [1946] UKPC 42 10 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Treasurer of Ontario V.

The answer to both questions depended on whether the corporation was acting as the government's agent in the manufacture of the armaments or as an independent contractor. All the funds necessary for the enterprise were provided by the government, which bore all the financial risks. The corporation was subject to the government's control in making the armaments and received a fee for each unit of production. Held: The corporation was not liable to pay the taxes. Lord Wright said: "In earlier cases a single test, such as the presence or absence of control, was often relied on to determine whether the case was one of master and servant, mostly in order to decide issues of tortious liability on the part of the master or superior. In the more complex conditions of modern industry, more complicated tests have to be applied. It has been suggested that a fourfold test would in some cases be more appropriate, a complex involving (1) control; (2) ownership of the tools; (3) chance of profit; (4) risk of loss. Control in itself is not always conclusive. Thus the master of a chartered vessel is generally the employee of the shipowner though the charterer can direct the employment of the vessel. Again the law often limits the employer's right to interfere with the employee's conduct, as also do trade union regulations. In many cases the question can only be settled by examining the whole of the various elements which constitute the relationship between the parties. In this way it is in some cases possible to decide the issue by raising as the crucial question whose business is it, or in other words by asking whether the party is carrying on the business, in the sense of carrying it on for himself or on his own behalf and not merely for a superior." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Canada and Dominion Sugar Company, Limited v Canadian National (West Indies) Steamships, Limited (Canada) [1946] UKPC 45 24 Oct 1946 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â S.

The jury clearly disbelieved him. On appeal he asked the court whether the jury should have been directed as to the legal position arising if the accused mistakenly believed that the woman was consenting, a version which he never advanced at the trial. Held: The appeal failed. The court surveyed the authorities and said: "when once there is some evidence of belief and reasonable ground for it, the jury should be told that a guilty mind is a necessary constituent of the crime and that unless they are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, on a consideration of all the evidence, that that constituent along with the others has been proved, they should acquit." and "the jury should only consider the possibility of the accused having acted on a wrong belief as to the facts when there is some evidence that he did honestly believe at least that the necessary facts existed." 1 Citers Â Attorney-General for Ontario v Attorney-General for Canada [1947] AC 127 1947 PC Viscount Jowitt Commonwealth, Constitutional Abolition of civil appeals from Canada.

The law recognised the general inviolability of mission documents, but the general principle was subject to an exception in the case of documents which put the safety of the state to which the mission was accredited in peril. In that event, if seized by the Canadian State, they lost "the privilege of immunity". Â Mohammed Amin v Jogendra Kumar Bannerjee [1947] AC322 1947 PC Sir John Beaumont Commonwealth, Torts - Other The Board considered an action for malicious prosecution. Sir John Beaumont said: "The foundation of the action lies in abuse of the process of the court by wrongfully setting the law in motion, and it is designed to discourage the perversion of the machinery of justice for an improper purpose. The plaintiff must prove that the proceedings instituted against him were malicious, without reasonable and probable cause, that they terminated in his favour (if that be possible), and that he has suffered damage. As long ago as 1698 it was held by Holt CJ in Savile v Roberts that damages might be claimed in an action under three heads, (1) damage to the person, (2) damage to property, and (3) damage to reputation, and that rule has prevailed ever since. That the word "prosecution" in the title of the action is not used in the technical sense which it bears in criminal law is shown by the fact that the action lies for the malicious prosecution of certain classes of civil proceedings, for instance, falsely and maliciously presenting a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to wind up a company ( Quartz Hill Consolidated Gold Mining Co v Eyre ). The reason why the action does not lie for falsely and maliciously prosecuting an ordinary civil action is, as explained by Bowen LJ in the last mentioned case, that such a case does not necessarily and naturally involve damage to the party sued. A civil action which is false will be dismissed at the hearing. The defendant's reputation will be cleared of any imputations made against him, and he will be indemnified against his expenses by the award of costs against his opponent. ... but a criminal charge involving scandal to reputation or the possible loss of life or liberty to the party charged does necessarily and naturally involve damage, and in such a case damage to reputation will be presumed." 1 Cites 1 Citers Â The Attorney General of Ontario and Others v The Attorney General of Canada and Others and The Attorney General of Quebec [1947] UKPC 1 13 Jan 1947 PC Commonwealth Canada [ Bailii ] Â Mohammad Yakub Khan (Petition) v The King-Emperor (Calcutta) [1947] UKPC 2 20 Jan 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Municipal Council of Colombo v Kuna Mana Navanna Suna Pana Letchiman Chettiar (Colombo) [1947] UKPC 3 28 Jan 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Megh Raj and Another v Allah Rakhia and Others (India) [1947] UKPC 5 5 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Ludditt and Others v Ginger Coote Airways Limited [1947] UKPC 4 5 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth Canada [ Bailii ] Â The Bank of Commerce, Limited, Khulna v Amulya Krishna Basu Roy Chowdhury and Others and The Advocate-General of Bengal (Intervener) (Consolidated Appeals) (India) [1947] UKPC 6 11 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Prafulla Kumar Mukherjee and Others v The Bank of Commerce, Limited, Khulna and The Advocate-General of Bengal (Intervener) (Consolidated Appeals) (India) [1947] UKPC 7 11 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The King-Emperor v Sadashiv Narayan Bhalero (Bombay) [1947] UKPC 8 18 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Zahiruddin v The King-Emperor (Fort William (Bengal)) [1947] UKPC 9 18 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Raleigh Investment Company Limited v The Governor-General In Council (India) [1947] UKPC 10 19 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Fiberglass Canada Limited and Others v Spun Rock Wools Limited and Another (Canada) [1947] UKPC 11 25 Feb 1947 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â V.

Held: Lord Normand discussed and approved the implication of Parker v Felgate: "That case decided that if a testator has given instructions to a solicitor at a time when he was able to appreciate what he was doing in all its relevant bearings, and if the solicitor prepares the will in accordance with these instructions, the will will stand good, though at the time of execution the testator is capable only of understanding that he is executing the will which he has instructed, but is no longer capable of understanding the instructions themselves or the clauses in the will which give effect to them." and "A testator may have a clear apprehension of the meaning of the draft will submitted to him and may approve it, and yet if he was at the time through infirmity or disease so deficient in memory that he was oblivious of the claims of his relations, and if that forgetfulness is an inducing cause of his choosing strangers to be his legatees, the will is invalid." 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Vishwanath Vishnu Dabholkar v The King (Eastern Africa) [1948] UKPC 1 12 Jan 1948 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Gokulchand Dwarkadas Morarka v The King (Bombay) [1948] UKPC 3 13 Jan 1948 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Hardat Ram and Others v Thakur Paras Nath and Others (Provinces of Agra and Oudh) [1948] UKPC 2 13 Jan 1948 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Joghindra Nath Dutta and Others v The Administrator - General of Bengal and Others (Fort William (Bengal)) [1948] UKPC 4 19 Jan 1948 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Inuganti Venkata Rajagopala Rama Suryaprakasa Rao Garu v Maharaja of Pithapuram and Another, similar [1948] UKPC 5 20 Jan 1948 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Raja Mahadeva Royal Y.

He had been tried under simplified emergency procedures and sentenced to death. The prosecution had adduced evidence of possession on the same occasion of unlawful possession by him of .38 ammunition in respect of which he had been acquitted at a previous trial and of which acquittal the assessors in the subsequent trial were not informed. Held:His appeal succeeded. The prosecution was not entitled to challenge the validity of the acquittal in that way and that the appellant was entitled to rely on it in so far as it might be relevant to his defence. Lord MacDermott said: “The effect of a verdict of acquittal pronounced by a competent court on a lawful charge and after a lawful trial is not completely stated by saying that the person acquitted cannot be tried again for the same offence. To that must be added that the verdict is binding and conclusive in all subsequent proceedings between the parties to the adjudication.” [ Bailii ] Â Piyaratana Unnanse and Another v Wahareke Sonuttara Unnanse (Deceased) and Others (Ceylon) [1950] UKPC 8 18 Apr 1950 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â H.

To hold otherwise would enable a member to be relieved from the consequences of a bargain knowingly entered into by him . . . But this, I think, is subject to an important qualification. Acts which, in law, are a valid exercise of powers conferred by the articles may nevertheless by entirely outside what can fairly be regarded as having been in the contemplation of the parties when they became members of the company; and in such cases the fact that what has been done is not in excess of power will not necessarily be an answer to a claim for winding up. Indeed, it may be said that one purpose of [the just and equitable provision] is to enable the court to relieve a party from this bargain in such cases." 1 Citers Â Nakkuda Ali v M F De S Jayaratne [1951] AC 66 1951 PC Lord Radcliffe Commonwealth, Administrative (Ceylon) The section provided that "where the Controller has reasonable grounds to believe that any dealer is unfit to be allowed to continue as a dealer" the Controller could exercise power to cancel the dealer’s licence given to him by the relevant Regulations in force in Ceylon. Held. The words must be construed to mean that there must in fact exist reasonable grounds, known to the Controller, before he could validly exercise the power. Liversidge v Anderson should be regarded as an authority for the meaning of that phrase in the particular regulation considered alone. Lord Radcliffe said "Their Lordships therefore treat the words in regulation 62 . . as imposing a condition that there must in fact exist such reasonable grounds, known to the Controller, before he can validly exercise the power of cancellation." and "It is not difficult to think of circumstances in which the Controller might in the ordinary sense of the words, have reasonable grounds of belief without having ever confronted the licence holder with the information which is the source of his belief. It is a long step in the argument to say that because a man is enjoined that he must not take action unless he has reasonable ground for believing something he can only arrive at that belief by a course of conduct analogous to the judicial process . . In truth when he cancels a licence he is not determining a question; he is taking executive action to withdraw a privilege because he believes, and has reasonable grounds to believe that the holder is unfit to retain it."amlet Defence (Control of Textiles) Regulations 1945 62 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Kofi Sunkersette Obu v A Strauss and Company Limited [1951] UKPC 3 29 Jan 1951 PC Commonwealth West African Court of Appeal [ Bailii ] Â Cretid Foncier D'Algerie Et De Tunisie v Jerome Linares (Gibraltar) [1951] UKPC 2 29 Jan 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Abaco Lumber Company Limited v The Bahama Cuban Company Limited (Bahamas) [1951] UKPC 1 29 Jan 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Kuda Madanage Siyaneris v Jayasinge Arachchige Udenis De Silva (Ceylon) [1951] UKPC 4 8 Feb 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company of Canada v The Shewin Williams Company of Canada Limited (Canada) [1951] UKPC 5 19 Feb 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Perera v The King [1951] UKPC 6 28 Feb 1951 PC Commonwealth Ceylon [ Bailii ] Â Mcdonnell and Others v Neil and Others [1951] UKPC 7 6 Mar 1951 PC Commonwealth (Australia) [ Bailii ] Â Lathuwa Handi Ebert Silva v The King (Ceylon) [1951] UKPC 8 7 Mar 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Cecil De Cordova and Others v Vick Chemical Company (Jamaica) [1951] UKPC 10 15 Mar 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Â McKee v McKee; PC 15-Mar-1951 - [1951] AC 352; [1951] UKPC 9; [1951] 1 All ER 942; [1951] 1 TLR 755 Â Atta Kojo (Since Deceased) Now Represented By Kojo Nyami and Another v Chief Kweku Dadzie, Nkyidomhene of Breman (Since Deceased) Now Represented By Chief Kofi Ansah (West African) [1951] UKPC 12 3 Apr 1951 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â M.

When what he has been induced to do is to make a purchase from the defendant and part with his money to him in payment of the price, then, if the transaction stands and is not disaffirmed or rescinded what is recoverable is 'the difference between the real value of the property, and the sum which the plaintiff was induced to give for it' per Abbott L.C.J. Pearson v. Wheeler. As Sir James Hannen P. in Peek v. Perry pointed out, the question is how much worse off is the plaintiff than if he had not entered into the transaction. If he had not done so he would have had the purchase money in his pocket. To ascertain his loss you must deduct from the amount he paid the real value of the thing he got. It may be objected that the point of the application of this doctrine lies in identifying 'the transaction' and that what Mayo J. has done is to identify it as the purchase of the goodwill and that only. But what is meant is the transaction into which the representation induced the plaintiff to enter. The measure of damages in an action of deceit consists in the loss or expenditure incurred by the plaintiff in consequence of the inducement on which he relied diminished by the corresponding advantage in money or moneys worth obtained by him on the other side: Potts v. Miller. You look to what he has been induced to part with as the initial step. He is entitled to say that but for the fraud he would never have parted with his money; per Coleridge L.C.J. Twycross v. Grant. But he cannot recover the entire price he has paid unless the thing prove wholly worthless. If the thing has any appreciable value the damages must be reduced pro tanto: per Cockburn L.C.J., Twycross v. Grant. It must not be forgotten that after all deceit is an action on the case for special damages incurred in consequence of the defendant's fraudulent inducement." 1 Citers [ Austlii ] Â Teper v The Queen [1952] AC 480 1952 PC Lord Normand Evidence, Commonwealth The defendant was charged with arson of his own shop. A woman had been heard to shout to a passing motorist "Your place burning and you going away from the fire". Held: the defendant's alibi could not be contradicted by the evidence of a policeman that he had heard the woman. The weakness of hearsay evidence is that its quality cannot be directly tested in court: "The truthfulness and accuracy of the person whose words are spoken by another witness cannot be tested by cross-examination and the light which his demeanour would throw on his testimony is lost." A statement admitted under the doctrine of res gestae with words which “if not absolutely contemporaneous with the action or event, [are] .... so closely associated with it, in time, place and circumstances, that they are part of the thing being done, and so an item or part of real evidence and not merely a reported statement”. However: “For identification purposes in a criminal trial the event with which the words sought to be proved must be so connected as to form part of the res gestae, is the commission of the crime itself . . . ” As to the rule that words may be proved when they form part of the res gestae, it appears to rest "ultimately on two propositions, that human utterance is both a fact and a means of communication, and that human action may be so interwoven with words that the significance of the action cannot be understood without the correlative words, and the dissociation of the words from the action would impede the discovery of truth. But the judicial application of these two propositions, which do not always combine harmoniously, has never been precisely formulated in a general principle.” 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Minister of the Interior v Harris 1952 (4) SA 769 1952 Centlivres CJ Commonwealth, Constitutional (South Africa) A provision entrenched the right of Cape Coloured voters to be on the same voters roll as white voters. The entrenchment was achieved by sections 63 and the proviso to section 152 of the South Africa Act providing that the voting rights of Cape Coloured voters could only be removed by a two-thirds majority of both Houses of Parliament sitting together. In furtherance of its racist ideology the Nationalist government decided to abolish this right. Its attempt to do so was contested. In Harris v Minister of the Interior 1952 (2) 428 (AD) the issue came before the Appellate Division, as it was then known. The court had in mind (at 431C) the clear distinction between what Parliament may do by legislation and what the constituent elements must do to legislate. Ruling unanimously that the government's attempt to by-pass the entrenched provisions was invalid, Centlivres CJ speaking for the Appellate Division observed: "A State can be unquestionably sovereign although it has no legislature which is completely sovereign. As Bryce points out in his Studies in History and Jurisprudence (1901 ed, vol II, p 53) legal sovereignty may be divided between two authorities. In the case of the Union, legal sovereignty is or may be divided between Parliament as ordinarily constituted and Parliament as constituted under section 63 and the proviso to section 152. Such a division of legislative powers is no derogation from the sovereignty of the Union and the mere fact that that division was enacted in a British Statute (viz, the South Africa Act) which is still in force in the Union cannot affect the question in issue." 1 Citers Â Re Brander [1952] 6 WWR (NS) 702 1952 Commonwealth, Wills and Probate (British Columbia Supreme Court) 1 Citers Â Minerals Separation North American Corporation v Noranda Mines Limited (Canada) [1952] UKPC 2 5 Feb 1952 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Wee Boo Lat v John Laycock and Others (Singapore) [1952] UKPC 3 24 Mar 1952 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Gray v New Augarita Porcupine Mines Limited [1952] UKPC 4 24 Mar 1952 PC Commonwealth, Torts - Other, Damages Ontario [ Bailii ] Â Herbert Lambe Williams v Edgar Roderic Williams [1952] UKPC 5 27 Mar 1952 PC Commonwealth (Bermuda) [ Bailii ] Â Â The Sultan of Johore v Abubakar Tunka Aris Bendahar and Others; PC 22-Apr-1952 - [1952] UKPC 6 Â Ngara Hotel Limited and Others v Rajabally Kassam Suleman and Others (Eastern Africa) [1952] UKPC 7 22 Apr 1952 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Â Robert J.

Held: The donor was entirely excluded from the subject-matter of the gift, which was the four fifths interest given to the children, and that his retention of powers of management did not affect the matter. This was because the donor is entirely excluded if he only holds the property in a fiduciary capacity and deals with it in accordance with his fiduciary duty. But the right to charge remuneration was a different matter. This amounted to a benefit to the donor by contract or otherwise. Lord Reid referred to St Aubin and said: "it is now clear that it is not sufficient to bring a case within the scope of these sections to take the situation as a whole and find that the settlor has continued to enjoy substantial advantages which have some relation to the settled property ; it is necessary to consider the nature and source of each of these advantages and determine whether or not it is a benefit of such a kind as to come within the scope of the section" 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Â Thompson v Bankstown Municipal Corporation; 1953 - (1953) 87 CLR 619 Â John Ojobo Agbeyegbe v Festus Makene Ikomi and Another (West African) [1953] UKPC 6 12 Jan 1953 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Schiffahrt-Treuhand, G.M.B.H., and Others v Her Majesty'S Procurator General (Probate, Divorce and Admiralty) [1953] UKPC 1 12 Jan 1953 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â P.

The builder built a house with defective foundations, as a result of which the house was unstable. The building owner brought an action against the builder claiming the cost of reinstatement. Held: His claim succeeded on the facts. The court approved the rule as stated in Hudson on Building Contracts that: "The measure of the damages recoverable by the building owner for the breach of a building contract is . . the difference between the contract price of the work or building contracted for and the cost of making the work or building conform to the contract" as to the case law: "In none of these cases is anything more done than that work which is required to achieve conformity and the cost of the work, whether it be necessary to replace only a small part, or a substantial part, or, indeed, the whole of the building is, subject to the qualification which we have already mentioned and to which we shall refer, together with any appropriate consequential damages, the extent of the building owner's loss. The qualification, however, to which this rule is subject is that, not only must the work undertaken be necessary to produce conformity, but that also, it must be a reasonable course to adopt." The cost of reinstatement work subject to the qualification of reasonableness was the extent of the loss. Reasonableness was a factor to be considered in determining what was that loss rather than, as had been argued, merely a factor in determining which of two alternative remedies were appropriate for a loss once established. The land owner, having contracted for a building, is, as a general rule, entitled to have a building which conforms with the contract plans, the High Court continued: "The qualification, however, to which this rule is subject is that, not only must the work undertaken be necessary to produce conformity, but that also, it must be a reasonable course to adopt. No one would doubt that where pursuant to a building contract calling for the erection of a house with cement rendered external walls of second-hand bricks, the builder has constructed the walls of new bricks of first quality the owner would not be entitled to the cost of demolishing the walls and re-erecting them in second-hand bricks. In such circumstances the work of demolition and re-erection would be quite unreasonable or it would, to use a term current in the United States, constitute "economic waste" . . We prefer, however, to think that the building owner's right to undertake remedial works at the expense of a builder is not subject to any limit other than is to be found in the expressions "necessary" and "reasonable", for the expression "economic waste" appears to us to go too far and would deny to a building owner the right to demolish a structure which, though satisfactory as a structure of a particular type, is quite different in character from that called for by the contract. Many examples may, of course, be given of remedial work, which though necessary to produce conformity would not constitute a reasonable method of dealing with the situation and in such cases the true measure of the building owner's loss will be the diminution in value, if any, produced by the departure from the plans and specifications or by the defective workmanship or materials. As to what remedial work is both "necessary" and "reasonable" in any particular case is a question of fact." 1 Citers Â Boucher v The Queen (1954) 110 CCC 263; (1954) 110 Can CC 263 1954 Randall J Commonwealth, Criminal Practice (Supreme Court of Canada) The prosecutor in a criminal case has a duty to act impartially with no notion of winning or losing. Randall J said: "It cannot be over-emphasised that the purpose of a criminal prosecution is not to obtain a conviction; it is to lay before a jury what the Crown considers to be credible evidence relevant to what is alleged to be a crime. Counsel have a duty to see that all available legal proof of the facts is presented; it should be done firmly and pressed to its legitimate strength, but it must also be done fairly. The role of prosecutor excludes any notion of winning or losing; his function is a matter of public duty than which in civil life there can be none charged with greater personal responsibility. It is to be efficiently performed with an ingrained sense of the dignity, the seriousness and the justness of judicial proceedings." 1 Citers Â Khotso Sephakela v The Queen (Basutoland) [1954] UKPC 19 15 Jun 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Hussein Raji Ahmed Ferid v Mehmed Ata Ali Ismet and Another (Cyprus) [1954] UKPC 20 16 Jun 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Edward Lionel Senanayake v Herath Mudiyanselage Navaratne and Another (Ceylon) [1954] UKPC 21 21 Jun 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Wong Pooh Yin Alias Kwang Sin Alias Kar Sin v The Public Prosecutor (Malaya) [1954] UKPC 22 30 Jun 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Swakinapillai Saverimuttu of Valvettiturai v Ponnambalam Thangavelautham of Valvettiturai and Others (Ceylon) [1954] UKPC 23 13 Jul 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Matthew Olajide Bamgbose v John Bankole Daniel and Others (West Africa) [1954] UKPC 24 15 Jul 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Holland Columbo Trading Society Limited, Columbo v Segu Mohamed Khaja Alawdeen and Others (Ceylon) [1954] UKPC 25 21 Jul 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The Minister v Christopher Bowes Thistlewayte and Another (New South Wales) [1954] UKPC 26 22 Jul 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Assena Marikar Mohed Fuard v Alfred Richard Weerasuriya (Ceylon) [1954] UKPC 27 27 Jul 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Antonio Assaf v Daniel Olatunji Fuwa and Others (West Africa) [1954] UKPC 29 4 Oct 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â James Patrick and Company Proprietary Limited v Dacie Ethel Sharpe (Victoria) [1954] UKPC 28 4 Oct 1954 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Antonio Cassar Torreggiani v Paolo and Emmanuele Pisani [1954] UKPC 30 4 Oct 1954 PC Commonwealth (Malta) [ Bailii ] Â Juan Ysmael and Company Incorporated V.

He sought to have admitted evidence of threats made. Held: What was said to the defendant was admissible to show that the defendant had good reason to fear death or personal injury. Hearsay evidence was admissible as to the state of the defendant's mind. The appeal was allowed because evidence relied on by the appellant to show that he had had a reasonable apprehension of instant death was wrongly excluded. The Board recognised the distinction between adducing a statement as evidence of something expressly or impliedly asserted in the statement and simply as evidence that the statement was made: 'Evidence of a statement made to a witness by a person who is not himself called as a witness may or may not be hearsay. It is hearsay and inadmissible when the object of the evidence is to establish the truth of what is contained in the statement. It is not hearsay and is admissible when it is proposed to establish by the evidence, not the truth of the statement, but the fact that it was made.' 1 Citers Â Bhandari v Advocates Committee [1956] 1 WLR 1442 1956 PC Lord Tucker Commonwealth, Legal Professions Complaints of professional misconduct against a member of a legal profession are to be proved to the criminal standard. Lord Tucker said: "With regard to the onus of proof the Court of Appeal [for East Africa] said: 'We agree that in every allegation of professional misconduct involving an element of deceit or moral turpitude a high standard of proof is called for, and we cannot envisage any body of professional men sitting in judgment on a colleague who would be content to condemn on a mere balance of probabilities.' This seems to their Lordships an adequate description of the duty of a tribunal such as the Advocates Committee and there is no reason to think that either the Committee or the Supreme Court applied any lower standard of proof." 1 Citers Â Reardon Smith Line Limited v Australian Wheat Board (Australia) [1956] UKPC 1 26 Jan 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â The National Mutual Life Association of Australasia v The Attorney General for New Zealand (New Zealand) [1956] UKPC 3 6 Feb 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Florence Emma Ward and Others, As Administrators In The Estate of Charles Cameron Ward, Deceased v The Commissioner of Inland Revenue (New Zealand) [1956] UKPC 4 14 Feb 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Commissioner of Stamp Duties v The New Zealand Insurance Company Limited [1956] UKPC 5 15 Feb 1956 PC Commonwealth, Stamp Duty New Zealand [ Bailii ] Â Maria Cassar and Another v Carmela Camilleri and Others [1956] UKPC 6 20 Feb 1956 PC Commonwealth (Malta) [ Bailii ] Â Akinola Adefolalu v Aladesanmi Ii and Another (West Africa) [1956] UKPC 7 5 Mar 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Heptulla Brothers Limited v Jambhai Jeshangbhai Thakore (Eastern Africa) [1956] UKPC 8 7 Mar 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Comptroller of Income Tax v Harrisons and Crosfield (Malaya) Limited (Malaya) [1956] UKPC 9 8 Mar 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Kai Nam (A Firm) v Ma Kam Chan (Hong Kong) [1956] UKPC 10 8 Mar 1956 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Maherali Hirji and Co. and Another v Sha Ramji Kanji [1956] UKPC 12 19 Mar 1956 PC Commonwealth (Eastern Africa) [ Bailii ] Â The Trust Company Limited v T.

Held: The rule that a husband and wife cannot conspire together "is an example of the fiction that husband and wife are regarded for certain purposes, of which this is one, as in law one person". The words "conspires" and "conspiracy" in English criminal law were not applicable to a husband and wife alone, and the words "other person" in s 110(a) of the penal code of Tanganyika, if English criminal law were to be applied to their "interpretation" or "meaning", could not, in that context, include a spouse. 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Mohamedaly Adamjee and Others v Hadad Sadeen and Others [1956] UKPC 42 11 Dec 1956 PC Commonwealth (Ceylon) [ Bailii ] Â The Colombo Apothecaries' Company Limited v Martha Agnes Peiris and Others [1956] UKPC 41 11 Dec 1956 PC Commonwealth Ceylon [ Bailii ] Â Ross v The Queen [1956] UKPC 43; [1957] 2 WLR 307; [1957] 1 All ER 451; [1957] AC 208 11 Dec 1956 PC Viscount Simonds, Oaksey, Cohen, Keith of Avonholm LL Commonwealth, Criminal Practice Eastern Africa - The Board was asked whether the Court of Appeal of Eastern Africa had juridiction to order a new trial in a criminal case, and if so whether one had been properly ordered in this case. Held: The power falls to be exercised upon the setting aside of a jury verdict and the conviction recorded thereon. [ Bailii ] Â Bullard v The Queen [1957] AC 635 1957 PC Lord Tucker Criminal Practice, Commonwealth The question was whether there was evidence on which the jury could have found a verdict of manslaughter on grounds of provocation rather than the verdict of murder which had been returned. Held: There is naturally a tendency for an appellate court to substitute its view of the facts for a possible view which might have been entertained by a properly directed jury. However, it had "long been settled law that if on the evidence, whether of the prosecution or of the defence, there is any evidence of provocation fit to be left to a jury, and whether or not this issue has been specifically raised at the trial by counsel for the defence and whether or not the accused has said in terms that he was provoked, it is the duty of the judge, after a proper direction, to leave it open to the jury to return a verdict of manslaughter if they are not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the killing was unprovoked." and "Every man on trial for murder has the right to have the issue of manslaughter left to the jury if there is any evidence upon which such a verdict can be given. To deprive him of this right must of necessity constitute a grave miscarriage of justice and it is idle to speculate what verdict the jury would have reached." 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Maxwell v Murphy (1957) 96 CLR 261 1957 Sir Owen Dixon CJ Constitutional, Commonwealth Sir Owen Dixon CJ said: "The general rule of the common law is that a statute changing the law ought not, unless the intention appears with reasonable certainty, to be understood as applying to facts or events that have already occurred in such a way as to confer or impose or otherwise affect rights or liabilities which the law had defined by reference to the past events." and "A cause of action which can be enforced is a very different thing to a cause of action the remedy for which is barred by lapse of time. Statutes which enable a person to enforce a cause of action which was then barred or provide a bar to an existing cause of action by abridging the time for its institution could hardly be described as merely procedural. They would affect substantive rights." 1 Citers Â Darling Island Stevedoring and Lighterage Co v Long (1957) 97 CLR 36 1957 Vicarious Liability, Commonwealth (High Court of Australia) An employer was not responsible vicariously for a breach of a duty at common law between one emplyee and another.

He said: "If such an extreme width were given to the exemption clause, it would run counter to the main object and intent of the contract. For the contract, as it seems to their Lordships has, as one of its main objects, the proper delivery of the goods by the shipping company, "unto order or his or their assigns", against the production of the bill of lading. It would defeat this object entirely if the shipping company was at liberty, at its own will and pleasure, to deliver the goods to somebody else, to somebody not entitled at all, without being liable for the consequences.

This standard was the same as that of a trustee under the Indian Trusts Act 1882, which in turn was substantially that of a trustee under English law.

Where a trust is for a non-charitable purpose and does not have a beneficiary, it fails "for a purpose or object cannot sue . . to enforce it" Viscount Simonds said: "But, though their Lordships are of opinion that the section may operate where there is a composite expression covering charitable and non-charitable purposes, and does so in the present case, it is clear that not every expression which might possibly justify a charitable application is brought within it. For instance, in In re Hollole there was a gift to a trustee 'to be disposed of by him as he may deem best'. The trustee might presumably have deemed it best to dispose of it for a charitable purpose, and, if he had done so, could not be said to have exceeded his powers. Yet O'Bryan J held that the gift was not saved by the section, and his decision has been rightly approved in the High Court. This was a clear case because the testator did not designate any purpose at all but in effect delegated his testamentary power in a manner that the law does not permit. Greater difficulty will arise where the permissible objects of choice are described in a composite expression which, though not so vague and general as to amount to a delegation of testamentary power, does not very clearly indicate a charitable intention on the part of the testator. 'In the present case,' say the Chief Justice and McTiernan J, 'there is reference to a distributable class which, while not exclusively charitable, is predominantly charitable in character'. The same concept appears in a different form in the judgment of Williams J and Webb J. 'One can also agree with him' (ie., Myers J) they say 'that in order to satisfy the section the application of the whole fund to charity must be one way of completely satisfying the intention of the testator. But, if the trust either directs or allows this to be done, the testator's intention will be completely satisfied if the trust funds are so applied....' Thus whether the gift be to Orders of Nuns, an object so predominantly charitable that a charitable intention on the part of the testator can fairly be assumed, or for (say) benevolent purposes, which connotes charitable as well as non-charitable purposes, the section will apply. Inevitably there will be marginal cases, where an expression is used which does not significantly indicate a charitable intention, and their Lordships do not propose to catalogue the expressions which will or will not attract the section. It may be sufficient to say that in the chequered history of this branch of the law the misuse of the words 'benevolent' and 'philanthropic' has more than any other disappointed the charitable intention of benevolent testators and that the section is clearly designed to save such gifts." 1 Citers [ Bailii ] - [ Bailii ] Â Hassanali Kurji Kanji v Gailey and Roberts Limited (Eastern Africa) [1959] UKPC 10 20 Apr 1959 PC Commonwealth [ Bailii ] Â Chew Boon Ee v L Ramanathan Chettiar Administrator for M.
