Dispakagement

1. Inequality in rank. In old law, while a female infant was in ward, the guardian could tender a match " without disparagement" or inequality: lest she might marry the lord's enemy. The Great Charter provided that the next of kin should be notified of the proposed contract.' 3. Derogation, belittlement; impeachment. A tenant may not disparage the title in his landlord; nor may the former owner of property disparage the title he has conveyed. Declarations by the vendor of realty in disparagement of the grant are never admissible, nor, geirerally, are the assertions of the seller of a chattel.' See AssiGNMEKT, 2; Declaration, 1; Estoppel; Landlord.
