LEGAL ENGLISH: What is a covenant?

1 Reply

✨ Quora answers ✨

In its broadest sense, a covenant is a promise, agreement, or contract between two parties. As part of the covenant, the two parties agree that certain activities will or will not be carried out.

Covenants in finance most often relate to terms in a financial contract, such as a loan document or bond issue stating the limits at which the borrower can further lend. Covenants in religion often convey the binding relationship between a deity and humanity.

➡️Covenants are agreements between multiple parties that create a legally binding agreement on how each party is to perform.
➡️Covenants can either promote activity to occur (positive covenant) or disallow an event or condition (negative covenant).
➡️Debt covenants are most common, as they place financial covenants on the borrower and lender as part of the loan agreement.
➡️Covenants are legally binding clauses, and if breached will trigger compensatory or other legal action.
➡️Many sectors like finance, real estate, law, and religion have covenants, though it is used in many different contexts across each group.

Regarding business, covenants are most often represented in terms of financial ratios that must be maintained, such as a maximum debt-to-asset ratio or other such ratios. They cover various aspects, from minimum dividend payments to working capital levels. If a covenant is broken, the lender can call back the obligation or reduce risk. There are two primary types: affirmative and negative covenants, and a third type, financial covenants, sometimes separated into its own category.

Types of Covenants
Different industries and sectors have different types of covenants. In general, it’s pretty common to see both positive and negative covenants across different industries.
➡️Debt Covenants
➡️Property Covenants
➡️Law Covenants
➡️Religious Covenants

LEGAL ENGLISH: What are implied terms of the contract and its examples?

What are implied terms of the contract and its examples?

Quora answers
I love answering on Quora.

Implied terms are not made express (like express terms) within the contract but may be implied into the contract in the following ways:

by custom: a term can only be implied into a contract by custom if there is no express term to the contrary. These may be terms which are customary in the market in which the contract is made or have been in previous dealings between the parties.

by statute: various statutes imply terms intro different specific contracts. For example, the condition that employment contracts will be automatically transferred is implied under statute in the contract for the sale of the business.

by common law: by the intention of the parties, if it is a term which is necessary to make the contract work.

See, by contrast, the express terms:

Express terms are set out and stipulated expressly in the contract.

Can you provide some examples of medieval literature that are still popular today? What sets these works apart from others in terms of their continued relevance?

Leave a reply

Beowulf

Beowulf, heroic poem, the highest achievement of Old English literature and the earliest European vernacular epic. The work deals with events of the early 6th century, and, while the date of its composition is uncertain, some scholars believe that it was written in the 8th century. Although originally untitled, the poem was later named after the Scandinavian hero Beowulf, whose exploits and character provide its connecting theme. There is no evidence of a historical Beowulf, but some characters, sites, and events in the poem can be historically verified. The poem did not appear in print until 1815. It is preserved in a single manuscript that dates to circa 1000 and is known as the Beowulf manuscript (Cotton MS Vitellius A XV).

Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.

The movie The 13th Warrior (1999) is based on Michael Crichton’s novel and of course, on the tale of Beowulf.

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight
(Sir Gawain and the Green Knight)

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight, Middle English alliterative poem of unknown authorship, dating from the second half of the 14th century (perhaps 1375). It is a chivalric romance that tells a tale of enchantment in an Arthurian setting. Its hero, Sir Gawayne (Gawain), is presented as a devout but humanly imperfect Christian who wins a test of arms, resists temptation by a lord’s wife, but succumbs to an offer of invulnerability.

The Green Knight, a movie from 2021, was based on it.

Which Charles Dickens novels should I read if I am interested in social critique and commentary on the economic and social issues of the 19th century?

Quora Answers

Great Expectations

Great Expectations works on a number of levels: as a critique of Victorian society and as an exploration of memory and writing. However, it is perhaps more importantly a search for true identity. During the course of the novel, Pip comes to realize that his “great expectations”—social standing and wealth—are less important than loyalty and compassion. Great Expectations was also noted for its blend of humour, mystery, and tragedy. In the original ending of the work, Pip and Estella were not reunited, but Dickens was persuaded to write a happier conclusion.

Bleak House

Bleak House, novel by British author Charles Dickens, published serially in 1852–53 and in book form in 1853 and considered to be among the author’s best work. Bleak House is the story of the Jarndyce family, who wait in vain to inherit money from a disputed fortune in the settlement of the extremely long-running lawsuit of Jarndyce and Jarndyce. The novel is pointedly critical of England’s Court of Chancery, in which cases could drag on through decades of convoluted legal maneuvering.

Legal corruption permeates this novel like a disease, issuing in particular from the Byzantine lawsuit with which all the book’s characters have a connection. Dickens provides his customary witty dissection of the layers of Victorian society. Characters—from the wearyingly earnest to the brilliantly shallow, from the foolish and foppish to the vampiristic and dangerous—are all illuminated in the darkness of Dickens’s outraged urbane opus. In reality, it is the public sphere as a whole that is satirized in Bleak House. Everything resembles Chancery: Parliament, the provincial aristocracy, and even Christian philanthropy is caricatured as moribund and self-serving. The narrative, which is split between the third person and Esther, concerns moral disposition as much as social criticism. The novel has also been hailed as a progenitor of the genre of detective fiction, with the methodical and dogged Inspector Bucket as the first police detective hero in English literature.

I love answering questions on Quora. It is like gymnastics of the mind.

Imagination is a tricky thing. It does not breathe words all the time. Sometimes it is alive, and sometimes it is barely breathing.
When I have ideas, I write in a notebook or on my phone. After that, I transferred my thoughts to my blog.
You do not just sit at your desk and start writing a poem.

I love writing. For me, it is like living in a parallel world of my own making. Nevertheless, the walls of this new realm may sometimes appear blurry.

The idea for the following poem hit me when I looked out the window and felt the mellow shine of autumn glistening into the threes.

I don’t want the summer to end

I don’t want the summer to end
That is why I try to suspend
My thoughts of winters and grey
Garnering drops of snow and dismay.

I don’t want the summer to end
That is why I am hand in hand
With clouds and planets blue,
Roses and treasures that have no clue
Of corrupt winds and misty reign
In the apocalypse of rain.

I don’t want the summer to end…

This is a very difficult question, and the answer is more or less subjective.
I am a poetry lover and writer, and world poetry is my oyster.

“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these.” – T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent, 1912

Who is your favorite poet and what makes them stand out to you?

Who is your favorite poet and what makes them stand out to you? Have they influenced your writing style in any way?

#Quora Knowledge

My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson.
I have been greatly influenced by her simplicity in her wording in the most astonishing poems.
Her lucid words create powerful feelings. You are able to taste, feel, and see the almost surrealistic landscapes that she creates.
In my opinion, her poems are written in color. She is able to render colors and hues in verse.

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.” ― Emily Dickinson

“Bring me the sunset in a cup.” ― Emily Dickinson

The poem below has been inspired by her.

What friends?

I have the sun
and the full moons,
The air and the water
blue.

The memories of
the sweet hills
and the crescent moon
keeping the vineyards
in bloom.

For my love
I would give
My hills
wrapped in balmy
vine flowers.

“If I can stop a heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain”. – Emily Dickinson
