On Parliament's authority to reform grants and protect property rights of grantees

Source

A legal opinion arguing that while Parliament may reform abuses arising from grants, it cannot encroach on the rights of grantees without compensation. The text discusses Parliament's grant of the Isle of Man to the Duke's ancestors and argues that any resumption of such grants must be done through direct compensation rather than piecemeal dismemberment, as property rights are protected under law.
