\u201c[U]nfortunately, the word \u2018vested\u2019 is used in two senses. Firstly, an interest may be vested in possession, when there is a right to present enjoyment, e.g. when I own and occupy Blackacre. But an interest may be vested, even where it does not carry a right to immediate possession, if it does confer a Fixed right of taking possession in the future.\u201d George Whitecross Paton, A Textbook of Jurisprudence 305 (G.W. Paton & David P. Derham eds., 4th ed. 1972).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA future interest is vested if it meets two requirements: first, that there be no condition precedent to the interest\u2019s becoming a present estate other than the natural expiration of those estates that are prior to it in possession; and second, that it be theoretically possible to identify who would get the right to possession if the interest should become a present estate at any time.\u201d Thomas F. Bergin & Paul G. Haskell, Preface to Estates in Land and Future<\/span><\/p>\n

vested-rights doctrine. (1924) Constitutional law. The rule that the legislature cannot take away a right that has been vested by a social compact or by a court\u2019s judgment; esp, the principle that it is beyond the province of Congress to reopen a final judgmentissued by an Article III court. ~ Also termed doctrine of vested rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctrine of vested rights most often found expression in the early national era by its infL’Ision into the obligation of contracts clause in Article I, Section 10, of the Constitution. It was in this connection that the doctrine achieved its most positive and specific limitations upon legislative authority. Vanhorne\u2019s Lessee v. Dorrance (1795), wherein Justice Paterson condemned a Pennsylvania statute as a violation of the \u2018primary object of the social compact,\u2019 the protection of property, arose under the contract clause. It will be recalled that the doctrine was again identified with the contract clause in Fletcher v Peck (1810) and in Dartmouth College v. Woodward (1819). And again, in Terrett v. Taylor (1815), a case involving Virginia\u2019s attempt to take title to certain lands of the disestablished Episco al Church, Justice Story discoursed at length upon the octrine of vested rights, which he identified with the contract clause in imposing limitation upon the state\u2019s legislative authority. in brief, in the early nineteenth century the contract clause played somewhat the same role in the embodiment of the doctrine of vested rights as the due process clause was to play after 1890.\u201d Alfred H. Kelly & Winfred A. Harbison, The American Constitution 471 (5th ed. 1976).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
