| 释义 | `1`Condemnation `2` "Legal Lexicon": CONDEMNATION - A sentence of judgment which condemns some one to do, to give or to pay something, or which declares that his claim or pretensions are unfounded. This word is also used by common lawyers, though it is more usual to say conviction, both in civil and criminal cases. It is a maxim that no man ought to be condemned without the opportunity of being heard. The legislative, administrative or judicial process and procedure whereby real property, generally a structure, is deemed legally unfit for occupancy or continued existence due to its physical defects or for other causes. Mar. Law. The sentence or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that a ship or vessel taken as a prize on the high seas, was liable to capture, and was properly and legally captured. By the general practice of the law of nations, a sentence of condemnation is, at present, generally deemed necessary in order to divest the title of a vessel taken as a prize. Until this has been done the original owner may regain his property, although the ship may have been in possession of the enemy twenty-four hours, or carried infra praesidia. A sentence of condemnation is generally binding everywhere. The term condemnation is also applied to the sentence which declares a ship to be unfit for service; this sentence and the grounds of it may, however, be re-examined and litigated by parties interested in disputing it. --b-- |
