Asha Industries Ltd executes a document that is intended to create, transfer or extinguish a legal right in a property, such as a conveyance. Another document, a board minute book, only records what happened at a meeting. Classifying documents by their legal effect, which pair is correctly matched?

The conveyance is an instrument and the minute book is a record. A conveyance itself creates or transfers rights in property, whereas minutes only record what happened at a meeting and do not create rights independently.

  2. BConveyance is a record, while the minute book is an instrument
  3. CBoth are instruments
  4. DBoth are records

Explanation

Documents that create, transfer, limit, extinguish or record rights are generally called instruments. Documents that merely record events or facts, like minutes, are records of what occurred and do not create rights by themselves. Hence the conveyance is an instrument and the minute book is a record.
