delivery

delivery
A handing over; the surrender of possession to another; a release from imprisonment. As used in a statute against fraudulent conveyances, the word implies the surrender of the control of the property by the vendor and the assumption of possession by the vendee, and mere words will not constitute such a delivery. O. W. Perry CO. v Mullen, 81 Mont 482, 263 P 976, 56 ALR 514. For some purposes, a delivery is accomplished by nothing more than making a thing available to another, placing it within his reach, notwithstanding there is no actual handing of the thing from one person to another. Ross v Pan American Airways, 299 NY 88, 85 NE2d 880, 13 ALR2d 319 (airline ticket). See claim and delivery; conditional delivery; constructive delivery; jail delivery; writ of delivery; also terms and expressions beginning delivery which follow.
