USES

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 809 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
USES , in law, equitable or beneficial interests in
land
 . In early law a man could not dispose of his estate by will nor could religious houses acquire it. As a method of evading the common law arose the practice of making feoffments to the use of, or upon trust for, persons other than those to whom the seisin or legal
possession
  was delivered, to which the equitable
jurisdiction
  of the
chancellor
  gave effect. To remedy the abuses which it was said were occasioned by this evasion of the law was passed the famous
Statute
  of Uses (1536), which, however, failed to accomplish its purpose. Out of this failure of the
Statute
  of Uses arose the
modern
  law of TRUSTS, under which heading will be found a full
history
  of uses. See also CONVEYANCING.
