Legal Terms - Appropriations in Aid 
Previously, the government departments used to receive and retain the day-to-day revenue to cover their expenses, rather than depositing it into the Consolidated Fund. Previously, Parliament would allocate this income through the Supply Estimates. Due to the Treasury's Alignment Project (2010-11), expenditure is now approved after deducting revenue, and the term "appropriations in aid" is no longer utilized.

​Legal Terms - Payment appropriation
Payment allocation refers to the process of assigning one or more payments to a specific obligation among multiple debts owing by a debtor to the same creditor. The user's text is concise.

The authority to allocate funds initially rests with the debtor, but if the debtor fails to allocate the funds at the time of payment, then the creditor has the right to do so. For current accounts, if there is no specific allocation, payments are typically assigned to the oldest unpaid debt.

Legal Terms - Appropriation 
Appropriation is a term used in administrative law. The act of assigning a specific amount of money for a specific purpose. The yearly Appropriation Act grants permission to withdraw money from the Consolidated Fund to cover government expenses and distributes it across departments based on certain categories of spending. (pertaining to the field of probate law) The transfer of a specific asset by personal representatives to fulfill a legacy or portion of the estate. For instance, let's consider a scenario where a person who has passed away (known as the testator) decides to leave a sum of £1,000 as a legacy to person A. As part of the testator's estate, there are some shares in a company called ICI. Instead of giving person A the money directly, the individuals responsible for managing the testator's estate (known as the personal representatives) decide to allocate shares in ICI to person A, which have a value equivalent to £1,000, as a way of fulfilling the legacy. The authority for personal representatives to appropriate is granted under section 41 of the Administration of Estate Act 1925 and necessitates the beneficiary's consent (which is typically waived by an explicit provision in the will).
