释义

deed

deed a written instrument whereby an interest, right or property passes, or an obligation binding on some person is created that affirms some prior act as a result of which some interest, right or property has passed. In English law, prior to the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989, execution of a document as a

deed of grant

deed required that the document be signed, sealed and delivered. Since that Act, sealing is no longer required, although the document must make it clear that the parties to it intended that it should take effect as a deed; indeed, the usual formula presently employed is 'executed as a deed'. Prior to the 1989 Act, it was not strictly neces- sary to a deed's validity that it be witnessed; since 1989 such an attes- tation is mandatory.

In Scotland there is no specific definition, but it has been held that jottings on an envelope did not constitute a deed: Lennie v. Lennie's Trs 1914 1 SLT 250.
