A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Extinguishment of copyhold refers to the destruction of copyhold by uniting freehold and copyhold interests in the same person and in the same right. In England, copyholds were enfranchised under the 1922 Law of Property Act and became either leasehold or freehold.

Example: If a person owned both freehold and copyhold interests in a property, and those interests were united in the same person and in the same right, the copyhold would be extinguished.

This means that the copyhold would no longer exist as a separate legal interest in the property. Instead, the property would be held either as leasehold or freehold, depending on the terms of the enfranchisement.

Example: Copyhold was a base tenure that required the tenant to provide the customary services of the manor, as reflected in the manor's court rolls. Over time, the customs of the manor dictated what services a lord could demand from a copyholder. Copyhold tenure was abolished by the Law of Property Act of 1922, which converted copyhold land into freehold or leasehold land.

This means that copyhold tenure no longer exists in England. Instead, all land is held either as freehold or leasehold, depending on the terms of the ownership.
