Easyform Glossary of Law Terms. — UK law terms.


deposit
1. the act of placing money with a bank. Thus, a deposit account is a bank account that pays interest but that imposes the requirement of notice (or a penalty in terms of interest) before withdrawal can be effected; a deposit receipt is an acknowledgement by the bank that sums have been deposited and are being held for the account of the depositor; a certificate of deposit is a financial instrument providing a similar acknowledgement but where the claim of the depositor is transferable. The Banking Act 1987 provides that the acceptance of a deposit in the course of carrying on a deposit-taking business in the UK requires authorisation from the Bank of England as competent authority. (see further SCF Finance Ltd v. Masri (No. 2) [1987] 2 WLR 58.)
2. to place documents with a bank or safety deposit company for safekeeping; or the placing of property with an officer of the court for safekeeping pending litigation.
3. money paid to a person as an earnest or security for the performance of a contract or other obligation. Thus, in contracts for the sale of land, a deposit is regarded not only as part-payment of the purchase price but as a security for the purchaser's due completion of the purchase (see Soper v . Arnold (1889) 14 App. Cas. 429). In Scotland the position is that the contract is construed to determine the parties' intentions in making the payment.
4. a deposit of title deeds as security for the repayment of borrowed money has long been held to constitute an equitable mortgage (see Ex p Kensington (1813) 2 Ves. & B 79, 84).
5. in Scotland, a contract to place something in the custody of another for reward.

Collins dictionary of law. . 2001.
