remitter

Read a random definition: clare constat

A quick definition of remitter:

Remitter: A person who sends money to someone else. It can also mean sending a case back to a lower court. It can also refer to a situation where a person has two titles to an estate and is considered to hold the estate by the earlier or more valid title.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Remitter refers to:

  1. The principle by which a person having two titles to an estate, and entering on it by the later or more defective title, is deemed to hold the estate by the earlier or more valid title.
  2. The act of sending back a case to a lower court.
  3. One who sends payment to someone else. Also spelled (in sense 3) remittor.

Examples:

  • Example 1: John inherited a property from his grandfather, but the title was not clear. Later, he bought the same property from his uncle, and the title was clear. According to the principle of remitter, John would be deemed to hold the property by the earlier and more valid title, which is the inheritance from his grandfather.
  • Example 2: The higher court found an error in the judgment of the lower court and sent the case back for reconsideration. This act of sending back the case is called remitter.
  • Example 3: Mary sent money to her sister in another country to help her with her education. Mary is the remitter in this transaction.

The examples illustrate the different meanings of the term remitter. In example 1, the principle of remitter is applied to resolve a dispute over the title of a property. In example 2, remitter refers to the act of sending a case back to a lower court. In example 3, remitter refers to the person who sends money to someone else.
