The Essential Law Dictionary. — Sphinx Publishing, An imprint of Sourcebooks, Inc. . 2008.


interest
1. a payment made by a borrower for the use of money, calculated as a percentage of the principal sum borrowed and payable by reference to the time that the loan is outstanding. Interest may be simple, where the amount payable is calculated on the sum borrowed only, or compound, where interest is added to the capital sum borrowed and itself earns interest.
Interest on a loan taken out by a company is payable whether or not the company has earned any profits; in contrast, dividends are payable only out of profits earned. Interest on company loans is a deduction for corporation tax purposes. Dividend payments are not so deductible; indeed, such payments attract liability to advance corporation tax.
2. a right, title or estate to personal or real property. Section 1 of the Law of Property Act 1925 provides that the only estates in land capable of subsisting and of being conveyed or created at law are an estate in fee simple absolute in possession and a term of years absolute. The only interests in or over land capable of subsisting or of being conveyed or created at law are an easement, right or privilege in or over land capable of existing for an interest equivalent to an estate in fee simple absolute in possession (i.e. in perpetuity) or a term of years absolute (i.e. for a fixed and determinate period) and a charge by way of legal mortgage. All other estates, interests and charges in or over land take effect as equitable interests. See interest relief.
In Scotland a litigant must, as well as having title to sue, have an interest to sue.

Collins dictionary of law. . 2001.


interest
A fee for the use of money. For example, you pay a bank or other creditor for lending you money or extending you credit. The interest rate represents the yearly price charged by the lender for the loan, expressed as a percentage of the total amount borrowed. You might be paid interest if you let a bank use your money—for example, by depositing it in a savings account. The bank pays you interest for the right to lend out your money (for which it receives interest from the borrower).
