An equitable mortgage can be created (i) an informal mortgage, as when the parties enter into an agreement, monies are advanced, but the legal mortgage is not formalised, for example, by deed; or (ii) as an equitable charge . Prior to 1989, an equitable mortgage could be created by a deposit of title deeds (or even an intention to deposit the deeds), accompanied by an agreement (express or implied) as to the loan terms (Russel v Russel(1783) 1 Bro CC 269, 28 Eng Rep 1121; Law of Property Act 1925, s. 13). However, since 1989, a contract for the mortgage or charge of any interest in land must be made in writing and signed by both parties incorporating all the terms of the agreement (Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989, s. 2 |

taken for public use(US) A term derived from the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which states that no private property shall be "taken for public use, without just compensation". In this context, the word 'taken' has been held to mean the deprivation of the rights of a former owner, rather than the accretion of a right or interest to the sovereign. 'Taking' may be the actual removal of the right to property, or a significant removal, destruction or limitation of the right to use private property. "Government action short of acquisition of title or occupancy has been held, if its effects are so complete as to deprive the owner of all or most of his interest in the subject matter, to amount to a taking." United States v. General Motors Corp., 323 US 373, 65 S Ct 357, 89 L Ed 311, 318, 156 ALR 390 (1945). A permanent physical occupation of private property, that is authorized by a government or municipal authority, may also constitute a taking for which just compensation is payable (Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 458 US 419, 102 S Ct 3164, 73 L Ed.2d 868 (1982)). |
taken for public use(US) A term derived from the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which states that no private property shall be "taken for public use, without just compensation". A provision made applicable to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment (Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy R.R. Co. v. Chicago, 166 US 226, 17 S Ct 581, 41 L Ed 979 (1897)). In this context, the word 'taken' has been held to mean the deprivation of the rights of a former owner, rather than the accretion of a right or interest to the sovereign. 'Taking' may be the actual removal of the right to property, or a significant removal, destruction or limitation of the right to use private property, as with the requirement that a private lagoon be made available to the general public (Kaiser v. United States, 444 US 164, 175, 100 S Ct 383, 390, 62 L Ed.2d 332 (1979)). "Government action short of acquisition of title or occupancy has been held, if its effects are so complete as to deprive the owner of all or most of his interest in the subject matter, to amount to a taking." United States v. General Motors Corp., 323 US 373, 65 S Ct 357, 89 L Ed 311, 318, 156 ALR 390 (1945) (Lingle, Governor of Hawaii v. Chevron U.S.A. Inc., 363 F.3d 846 (2005)). A permanent physical occupation of private property, that is authorized by a government or municipal authority, may also constitute a taking for which just compensation is payable (Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 458 US 419, 102 S Ct 3164, 73 L Ed.2d 868 (1982)). However, the normal exercise of police power does not amount to a 'taking'; but is merely an acceptable form of government 'regulation'. L.A. Malone.
