Quota System (Royal Navy)
The Quota System (also known as ''The Quod''), introduced by Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger in 1795, required each British county to provide a quota of men for the Royal Navy, based on its population and the number of its seaports: London, for example, had to provide 5,704 quotamen while Yorkshire had to provide 1,081. The counties found it difficult to meet the quotas. Some offered high cash bounties to inexperienced volunteers (mostly inexperienced landman (rank), landsmen) and created resentment among the regular seamen, who, despite their experience, had received only a small fraction of that bounty (reward), bounty on their own volunteering (and none if they were impressment, pressed). Sometimes, the counties resorted to sending convicted criminals in lieu of punishment, further creating ill feeling among ships' companies and sometimes introducing typhus (otherwise known as ''gaol fever''). Britain ended using the quota system, along with impressment, in 1815, at ...

Quodpot
Quidditch is a fictional sport invented by author J.K. Rowling for her fantasy book series ''Harry Potter''. It first appeared in the novel ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'' (1997). It is a dangerous but popular sport played by witches and wizards riding flying broomsticks. Matches are played on a large oval pitch with three ring-shaped goals of different heights on each side, between two opposing teams of seven players each: three Chasers, two Beaters, the Keeper, and the Seeker. The Chasers and the Keeper respectively score with and defend the goals against the Quaffle; the two Beaters bat the Bludgers away from their teammates and towards their opponents; and the Seeker locates and catches the Golden Snitch, whose capture simultaneously wins the Seeker's team 150 points and ends the game. The team with the most points at the end wins. Harry Potter plays as Seeker for his house team at Hogwarts. Regional and international Quidditch competitions are mentioned thro ...

Quod (board Game)
Quod is an abstract strategy game played on an 11-by-11 grid of spaces with the four corner spaces removed. Players alternate placing pieces, called quods, into empty spaces. A player wins by placing four quods that form the four corners of a square. The square can be any size and any orientation (in other words, the square can be "tilted"). In addition, each player has a small number of pieces, called quasars, that are used purely for blocking. Quod was invented by G. Keith Stillwww.GKStill.com in 1979, while he was at college, and was popularized by Scientific American in March 1996.Description from BoardGameGeek.com (2017), used with permission.

Per Quod
Per quod is a Latin phrase (meaning ''whereby'') used to illustrate that the existence of a thing or an idea is on the basis of external circumstances not explicitly known or stated. Legal example "Statements are considered defamatory ''per quod'' if the defamatory character of the statement is not apparent on its face, and extrinsic facts are required to explain its defamatory meaning."

Ad Quod Damnum
''Ad quod damnum'' or ''ad damnum'' is a Latin phrase meaning "according to the harm" or "appropriate to the harm". It is used in tort law as a measure of damage inflicted, and implying a remedy, if one exists, ought to correspond specifically and only to the damage suffered. It is also used in pleading, as the statement of the plaintiff's money loss or damages claimed.See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(3). An ''ad damnum'' clause is also sometimes called a "prayer for relief." Several U.S. states prohibit plaintiffs from demanding a specific amount of money in the section of a complaint initiating a civil action for personal injury or wrongful death. This is to prevent unethical attorneys from gaining undue publicity for their cases (and trampling upon the due process rights of defendants) by demanding outrageous amounts that they cannot possibly prove at trial. This is why such complaints simply demand amounts "in excess of $ (where X is the minimum amount in controver ...

Nemo Dat Quod Non Habet
''Nemo dat quod non habet'', literally meaning "no one can give what they do not have", is a legal rule, sometimes called the ''nemo dat'' rule, that states that the purchase of a possession from someone who has no ownership right to it also denies the purchaser any ownership title. It is equivalent to the civil (continental) ''Nemo plus iuris ad alium transferre potest quam ipse habet'' rule, which means "one cannot transfer to another more rights than they have". The rule usually stays valid even if the purchaser does not know that the seller has no right to claim ownership of the object of the transaction (a ''bona fide'' purchaser); however, in many cases, more than one innocent party is involved, making judgment difficult for courts and leading to numerous exceptions to the general rule that aim to give a degree of protection to ''bona fide'' purchasers and original owners. The possession of the good of title will be with the original owner. United States In American law, a ...
