Waste in Europe
Definition of Waste
(1) Uncultivated land. (2) Whatever does lasting damage to the freehold or inheritance of land, or anything which alters the nature of the property. It is either voluntary or permissive : the former being an offence of commission, such as pulling down a house, converting arable land into pasture, opening new mines or quarries, etc. ; the latter is one of omission, such as allowing a house to fall for want of necessary repairs.
If a limited owner is given power to commit waste, he is said to be unimpeachable for waste. Wanton destruction, e.g., cutting down ornamental timber by an owner unimpeachable for waste may be restrained as equitable waste. Ameliorating waste consists in alterations in the nature of improvements. See Garth v. Cotton
