Terms to be understood
mortgagor.
The person to whom interest is transferred is called the mortgagee.
The principal money and interest of which payment is secured for time being is
Whenever the mortgage takes place, the mortgagor do have right to take back the
property once he pays back the mortgage amount.
In India clog on redemption is void and also no stipulation prevails against the
statutory right.
This division of interest gives mortgagor to redeem his property after the
repayment of loan.
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT
property to a party as security for the loan that the party has advanced.
Such security is redeemable by the transferor once he repays the loan or discharges his
liability.
If the party fails to redeem the mortgaged property, anything done to obstruct the party from
conscience.
A person taking loan in lieu of his property as security cannot be exploited by the other party.
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF CLOG ON REDEMPTION
Restraint on alienation:
A stipulation that restrains the mortgagor from transferring mortgage property
is a clog. In mortgage as discussed above only certain interests are transferred
and the mortgagor is still residuary owner of that property. Agreement that
restrains the mortgagor from mortgaging the property once again or even
agreement that prevents him from making gift of the mortgaged property is a
clog.
IMPLICATION OF CLOG ON MODERN DEALINGS
The present law favors mortgagee under the grab of traditional justification of
unfair bargaining.
This unfair bargaining power may subject to criticism.
The present approach puts the lender to risk because the market is increasingly
going competitive.
Making a good bargain should be left at option of parties rather than the
courts.
CONCLUSION
This doctrine considers one party that is mortgagor as the only victim, it is
against public policy.
