DEMISE

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 1 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DEMISE , an Anglo-French legal
term
  (from the Fr. demettre, Lat. dimittere, to send away) for a
transfer
  of an estate, especially by lease. The word has an operative effect in a lease implying a
covenant
  for " quiet enjoyment " (see LANDLORD AND
TENANT
 ). The phrase " demise of the crown " is used in
English
  law to signify the immediate
transfer
  of the sovereignty, with all its attributes and prerogatives, to the successor without any
interregnum
  in accordance with the
maxim
  " the king never dies." At common law the death of the sovereign eo facto dissolved
parliament
 , but this was abolished by the Representation of the
People
  Act 1867, 51. Similarly the common law
doctrine
  that all offices held under the crown determined at its demise has been negatived by the Demise of the Crown Act 1901. " Demise" is thus often used loosely for death or decease.
