Legal Terms -concurrent jurisdiction
The portion of the Court of Chancery's jurisdiction that was equally enforced in common law courts prior to the Judicature Acts 1873–75; equity typically assumed jurisdiction when common law remedies proved insufficient. All High Court divisions have concurrent jurisdiction under the Judicature Acts, however the Chancery Division is where certain remedies, such particular performance and injunctions, are more frequently requested.

Legal Terms - Completion
Completion is the term used to describe the moment in land law when ownership of a plot of land covered by a contract for sale changes hands. In exchange for the title deeds and, in the event that the land is unregistered, a legal conveyance of the land to him, the buyer gives over any outstanding balance of the purchase price. A straightforward transfer form that needs to be submitted to the *Land Registry is given to the buyer if the land is registered. Either way, until title is registered, the buyer is not the land's legitimate owner.

A land settlement that results from a number of trust agreements, such as a resettlement after a *entailed interest is barred. The trustees of the original settlement—or, in the absence of any—those of the resettlement—are recognized as the trustees of the compound settlement under the Settled Land Act of 1925.
