English Legal System: Disposition

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Disposition :

1. (in land law) The transfer of property by some act of its owner, e.g. by sale, gift, will, or exchange.

2. (in the law of evidence) The tendency of a party (especially the accused) to act or think in a particular way. Evidence of the accused’s disposition may generally not be given unless it is based upon admissible evidence of character or admissible *similar-fact evidence. Evidence of *previous convictions, other than those admitted as similar-fact evidence or under the Criminal Evidence Acts, may tend to suggest to the *trier of fact that the accused has a particular disposition, but is technically admissible only on the question of his credibility.
