{{g}}A [[specialty]] is a written contract that has been [[Signed, sealed, delivered|executed under seal and delivered]] and is given as security for the payment of a specifically indicated [[debt]]. | {{g}}A [[specialty]] is a written contract that has been [[Signed, sealed, delivered|executed under seal and delivered]] and is given as security for the payment of a specifically indicated [[debt]]. | ||
A rather archaic expression, of some interest in that it is referred to in the Limitations Act 1980. The Limitation period for a [[specialty]] is 12 years, not the usual 6. | |||
===And the difference between a [[specialty]] and a [[deed]] is?=== | |||
A {{t|deed}} is not necessarily a {{t|contract}}, and is not supported by [[consideration]]. An individual can create binding obligations upon herself by [[deed]] without there even being a counterparty and, therefore, without [[consideration]]. It has to be signed, sealed and delivered though. A specialty is type of {{t|contract}}; it is supported by [[consideration]], but like a deed is [[Signed, sealed, delivered|signed, sealed and delivered]]. | |||
The two do overlap, though. | |||
