|
licence An authority to do something which would otherwise be inoperative, wrongful, or illegal; e.g. to enter on land which would otherwise be a trespass. A licence passes no interest, and a mere licence is always revocable. A licence coupled with an interest which is in the nature of grant; e.g. of sporting rights, is irrevocable until the benefit granted has been enjoyed. A contractual licence, whether or not coupled with an interest, may be irrevocable, depending on the construction of the terms of the contract between the parties. If the time of enjoyment is not limited, the giving of reasonable notice of revocation will be necessary. |
