Ferguson et al. v. MacLean et al. - [1930] SCR 630 - 1930-10-07
Supreme Court JudgmentsCommercial law
By earlier legislation of the province of New Brunswick, set forth at length by the Chief Justice in his judgment, to wit, c. 11, 1 William IV, (1831), c. 18, 2 William IV, (1832), c. 15, 3 William IV, (1833), c. 48, 38 Vic., (1875), and c. 99, 38 Vic., (1875), it was made abundantly clear that the property of St. James [...] controlled without some clear expression or necessary implication.” Reversion is a well known legal expression, and its meaning and the distinction between it and a remainder is clearly pointed out in the passage from Williams on Real Property (14th Ed., p. 255) to which we were referred by the counsel for the defendants. [...] This view has the support of the Court of Appeal in Tillmanns & Co. v. SS. Knutsford Ltd.[21], in which Farwell L.J. said (at p. 403): “Unless you can find a category there is no room for the application of the ejusdem generis doctrine.” To the same effect are the judgments of Vaughan Williams L.J., at page 395, and of
