English Legal System: Disclaimer
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Disclaimer :
The refusal or renunciation of a right, claim, or property. A beneficiary under a will that leaves him both a burdensome and a beneficial gift (e.g. a racehorse that never wins and £50) may disclaim the former and take the latter. A company’s liquidator may disclaim the company’s lease, to avoid liability for the rent and other “onerous” contracts. A trustee may disclaim a trust if he has not yet accepted it; once he has accepted his trusteeship he may no longer disclaim it but he may resign (See retirement of trustees). Trusts and powers are normally disclaimed by deed.
