Legal Terms - collateral advantage
the circumstance where a contracting party leverages his better negotiating position to secure provisions that benefit him beyond the advantages granted by the main contract itself, frequently disproportionately. One of the parties to a contract may be granted such an advantage, for example, by including a *solus tie or a *option to purchase. In the context of a mortgage contract, clauses that confer a collateral benefit are subject to being thrown down by the court because they impede or restrict the mortgagor's *equitable right to redeem.

Legal Terms - collateral benefits
benefits that a victim of a tortious harm receives from a third party as a result of the accident; examples include insurance money, presents from a disaster appeal fund, loans, sick pay, disability pensions, and social security benefits. When determining the damages that the party responsible for the injury must pay, some collateral benefits—like insurance money and gifts—are considered, while others are not.
The Social Security (Recovery of Benefits) Act of 1997 mandates that the victim's social security benefits for the first five years following the injury, or until the compensation payment is made, be deducted from the total damages awarded by the court or agreed upon through settlements, and then reimbursed to the state. Three components make up compensation under the Act: loss of earnings, care costs, and loss of mobility. Only the state's benefits may be subtracted from the
pertinent head of the awarded damages. The amount of damages granted for pain and suffering cannot be reduced by any advantages.

Legal Terms - collateral contract
A subsidiary contract that induces a person to enter into a main contract. For instance, if X consents to purchase goods from Y that are made by Z and does so based on Z's guarantee of the high quality of the goods, then X and Z might be deemed to have made a collateral contract that consists of Z's quality guarantee given in exchange for X's commitment to sign the main contract with Y.

Legal Terms – Codicil
A codicil is an additional document that supplements a will. It is executed in accordance with the Wills Act 1837 and amends, modifies, or repeals the provisions of the will. It needs to be shown via the will to see. A codicil confirming a will usually republishes the will; if the testator clearly intended for their will to be revived after it was canceled, it can also do so. It is preferable to carry out a new will if the original is significantly altered.

Legal Terms – Codifying Statute

Legal Terms – Coercion
Coercion is the name of a former defense that was exclusive to married women who had broken the law (apart from murder or treason) while their husbands were there and exerting pressure on them. 2017 saw the elimination of the defense of marital compulsion; instead, women who are coerced into committing a crime by their husbands must now depend on the defense of *duress.

Legal Terms – Cohabitants
Cohabitants: plural of cohabitants; unmarried sexual partners in a committed, long-term partnership. Unlike some other jurisdictions, English law does not offer a logical framework for cohabitation, and unless a specific
Unless a statutory provision specifies otherwise, cohabitants are regarded by the law in exactly the same way as two strangers. The inability of the courts to order one partner to give up property or pay maintenance in the event that the relationship ends within the parties' lifetimes is one of the most significant legal distinctions between married and unmarried couples. Another significant difference is that, in contrast to a spouse, the surviving single partner does not automatically inherit the entirety or a portion of the assets if one partner passes away intestate, or without leaving a will. However, the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act of 1975 allows for an application to be submitted. The difference between "illegitimate" and "legitimate" offspring no longer really exists in relation to any children (see ILLEGITIMACY). If an unmarried father is listed as the child's father on the kid's birth certificate, he will automatically be deemed the child's parent for any child born on or after December 1, 2003. Domestic violence laws provide protection to unmarried partners, albeit to a little lesser extent than to their married counterparts. The Civil Partnership Act of 2004 essentially equalized the status of opposite-sex and same-sex cohabitants. Previously, statutes conferring rights on cohabitants were limited to heterosexual couples. However, in Ghaidan v. Godin-Mendoza [2004] UKHL 30, it was decided that same-sex couples are included in the definition of "as husband and wife."
