单词释义(法律英语)
surcharge作名词时,有以下词义:
1.过高收费(=exaction);费用的收取超出公平合理的价目或者超出其权利范围。
2.第二抵押权(=second mortgage)
3.附加税(=surtax)
4.归还公款宣告;指英国从前由审计官(auditor)所作的一项地方政府宣告(declaration),内容是某人因挪用公款(public money)而应独立承担偿还责任。surcharge作动词时,有以下词义:
1.使……负担过重;英格兰古法中,使公用地负担过重(surcharge a common),是指在公用地上放牧过多的牲口,或者是超出牧场的承受能力,或者使超出权利人放牧权的范围。对公用地因负担过重受到的损害,通过公共牧权调整令(admeasurement of pasture)加以救济。
2.指出对方在账上漏记一笔贷方款项(此为一平衡法惯例)
词组搭配surcharge and falsify指出账目中的遗漏和错误;衡平法院中核查账目的一种方式。指法院将某账目作为已确定的账目(stated account),但允许当事人对其中的任一具体项目提出异议。如果当事人指出某一应记入贷方的项目遗漏,即为surcharge;而记入账中的某项如能证明是错误的,即为falsification。
