See also:ABODE (from " abide," to dwell, properly " to wait for ," to bide) , generally, a dwelling . In See also:English See also:law this See also:term has a more restricted meaning than See also:domicile, being used to indicate the See also:place of a See also:man's See also:residence or business, whether that be either temporary or permanent . The law may regard for certain purposes, as a man's See also:abode, the place where he carries on business, though he may reside elsewhere ; so that the term has come to have a looser significance than residence, which has been defined as " where a man lives with his See also:family and sleeps at See also:night" (R. v . See also:Hammond, 1852, 17 Q.B . 772) . In serving a See also:notice of See also:action, a See also:solicitor's place of business may be given as his abode (See also:Roberts v . See also:Williams, 1835, 5 L.J.M.C . 23), and in more See also:recent decisions it has been similarly held that where a notice was required to be served under the Public See also:Health See also:Act 1875, either personally or to some inmate of the owner's or occupier's " place of abode, " a place of business was sufficient . |
