Definitions from Case Law

From 12 U.S. 229 - John Green v. John Liter · 1814Most cited · 54 citing opinions

There are cases in which there is a constructive seizin in deed, which is sufficient for all the purposes of action in legal intendment. . . . They are founded upon this plain reason, that either the claim is made sufficiently notorious by an actual entry into part, of which the vicinage can take notice, or the party has done all that, under the circumstances of the case, he was bound to do. Lex non cogit seu ad vana aut impossibilia.
