Proprietary Governors were individuals authorized to govern Proprietary Colony proprietary colonies . Under the proprietary system, individuals or companies were granted commercial charter s by the King of England to establish colonies . These proprietors then selected the governors and other officials in the colony. This system was used to establish several colonies on the island of Newfoundland island Newfoundland . The province s of Province of Maryland Maryland , Province of Carolina Carolina and several other colonies in the Americas were initially established under the proprietary system. These colonies were distinct from royal colonies in that they were commercial enterprises established under authority of the crown. Proprietary Governors had legal responsibilities over the colony as well as responsibilities to shareholders to ensure the security of their investments. The proprietary system was a mostly inefficient system, in that the proprietors were, for the most part, like absentee landlord s. Many never even visited the colonies they owned. By the early 18th century, nearly all of the proprietary colonies had either surrendered their charters to the crown to become royal colonies, or else had significant limitations placed on them by the crown.

A proprietary chapel is a chapel that originally belonged to a private person. In the 19th century Britain they were common, often being built to cope with urbanisation. Frequently they were set up by evangelical philanthropists with a vision of spreading Christianity in cities whose needs could no longer be met by the parishes. Some functioned more privately, with a wealthy person building a chapel so they could invite their favorite preachers. ref http www.churchsociety.org aboutus managed Properties StJamesChurch.htm ref They are anomalies in the English ecclesiastical law, having no parish area, but being able to have an Anglican clergyman licensed there.

Proprietary estoppel is a legal claim, which may arise in relation to rights to use the land of the owner, and may even be effective in connection with disputed transfers of ownership. Outline Proprietary estoppel can be broken into a number of steps. A proprietary estoppel may arise if, one party represents that he or she is transferring an interest in land to another, but what is done has no legal effect, or merely promises at some time in the future to transfer land or an interest in land to another, and knows that the other party will spend money or otherwise act to his or her detriment in reliance on the supposed or promised transfer In Dillwyn v Llwellyn 1862 4 De GF&J 517 a father promised a house to his son who took possession and spent a large sum of money improving the property. The father never actually transferred the house to the son. When his father died, the son claimed to be the equitable owner and the court ordered the testamentary trustees to convey the land to him. See also Inwards v Baker 1965 2 QB 29. In Willmott v Barber 1880 15 Ch D 96, Fry J considered that five elements had to be established before proprietary estoppel could operate the claimant must have made a mistake as to his legal rights the claimant must have done some act of reliance the defendant, the possessor of a legal right, must know of the existence of his own right which is inconsistent with the right claimed by the claimant the defendant must know of the claimant s mistaken belief and the defendant must have encouraged the claimant in his act of reliance.

During the Middle Ages , the proprietary church Latin ecclesia propria , German Eigenkirche was a church, abbey or cloister built on private ground by a feudal lord, over which he retained proprietary interests, especially the right of what in English law is advowson , that of nominating the ecclesiastic personnel. In a small parish church this right may be trivial, but in the German territories of Otto the Great it was an essential check and control on the church, through which the Holy Roman Emperor largely ruled. In the later Roman Empire the church had been centrally organized all Monastery monasteries and churches within a diocese , including their personnel and their properties, were under the jurisdiction of the local bishop. Ulrich Stutz has demonstrated that the institution of the proprietary church existed particularly in areas that had never been Roman, among the Irish and the Slavs, and in the Eastern Roman Empire, but the proprietary church is best known in Germany, where the Grundherr , the land lord who had founded the church on his property and endowed it from his lands, maintained the right of investiture , as he was the advocatus German Vogt of the fief, and responsible for its security and good order.

Globalize date December 2010 Proprietary colleges are for profit college s and universities . They are operated by their owners or investors, rather than a not for profit institution, religious organization, or government. Because they are not funded by tax monies, their long term sustainability is dependent on a successful business model. However, the increased reliance on federal student aid funds by these for profit schools is of growing concern. Since federal student loans are typically guaranteed by the government, for profit colleges can reap a profit from taxpayers even if students drop out after enrolling, do not complete a degree, or the degree turns out to be nearly worthless for future employment. Students can be stuck with large and unmanageable debt loads, defaulting at a significantly higher rate than students at traditional non profit institutions.
