accrual A right is said to accrue when it vests in a person, especially when it does so gradually or without his active intervention, e.g. by lapse of time, or by the determination of a preceding right. When a fund or other property is increased by additions which take place in the ordinary course of nature or by operation of law, the additions are said to accrue either to the original fund or property, or to the person entitled to it. |
