interest
interest n. (1)权益；地产权益 广义上包括有关财产的各种权利〔right〕、产权〔title〕、请求权〔claim〕或合法份额〔legal share〕。就不动产而言，它可指任何对土地的受益权利〔beneficial rights〕，即地产权〔estate〕——无论普通法上的还是衡平法上的，土地负担〔charge〕、地役权〔easement〕、他地权益〔profits a prendre〕、衡平法上的回赎权〔right of redemption〕等一切在目前或将来使权利人可以使用土地的权利。狭义上，作为与地产权相对的概念，interest指地产权以外的土地权利，例如１定期地产权益〔interesse termini〕；２在旧封臣缴回〔surrender〕之后、新封臣被承认〔admit〕之前领主对公簿地产〔copyhold〕的权利；３在为支付债务而设立的土地遗赠中遗嘱执行人〔executor〕的权利；４类似地产权但不为普通法所承认的权利——如待生效权益〔executory interest〕。此外，旧时不动产律师业务中使用的interest一词还可有多种解释：１指与土地密切相联的权利——如土地他益权，以有别于来自历史习惯的地役权或根据他人授权进入土地的权利；２对土地的独占权利，即基于所有权的权利，区别于对他人土地的权利——如并存地产权〔common〕；３与「占有」〔possession〕相对而言，例如一项已经赋予权益〔vested in interest〕的地产权表示该项权利已经产生，但权利人对土地的占有则要推延一段时间。 (2)(拥有权益的)企业；经营事业 (3)利益；利益关系；利害关系 (4)损害；损害赔偿金 (5)利息
