privies

Read a random definition: non-conforming use

A quick definition of privies:

Privies are people who have a legal interest in something, like a property or a lawsuit. There are six types of privies, including family members, people involved in contracts, and successors to claims. In a lawsuit, privies can include people who control the case, have their interests represented by someone else, or inherit a claim from someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Privies (priv-eez) are people who have a legal interest in a matter or property. They are in privity with another person.

Traditionally, there were six types of privies:

  1. Privies in blood, such as an heir and an ancestor.
  2. Privies in representation, such as an executor and a testator or an administrator and an intestate person.
  3. Privies in estate, such as grantor and grantee or lessor and lessee.
  4. Privies in respect to a contract - the parties to a contract.
  5. Privies in respect of estate and contract, such as a lessor and lessee where the lessee assigns an interest, but the contract between lessor and lessee continues because the lessor does not accept the assignee.
  6. Privies in law, such as husband and wife.

The term also appears in the context of litigation. In this sense, it includes:

  • Someone who controls a lawsuit though not a party to it.
  • Someone whose interests are represented by a party to the lawsuit.
  • A successor in interest to anyone having a derivative claim.

For example, if a person inherits property from their grandfather, they are a privy in blood. If a person is named as the executor of a will, they are a privy in representation. If a person leases a property from someone else, they are a privy in estate. If two people sign a contract together, they are privies in respect to a contract.

These examples illustrate how privies are people who have a legal interest in a matter or property. They may have a relationship with another person, such as an ancestor or a lessor, or they may be involved in a legal agreement, such as a contract or a will.

same outcomes, temple has better trial advocacy. nova has the most partners in BL firms in philly than any other school. But both send 20% to BL if thats ur thing. Temple is located in arguably the roughest part of philly. the campus itself is a campus, but not more than a few blocks away are some neighborhoods u dont wanna walk around in.
