He who concedes anything is considered as conceding that without which his concession would be void; or without which the thing itself could not exist.

Explanation

A grant implies everything necessary for its enjoyment — a grant of land implies access, a corporate charter implies by-law power, and a delegation of authority carries with it all powers indispensable to its exercise.

Where this applies

• A landowner grants a neighbor the right to draw water from a well on the grantor's property, and the grant impliedly includes the right to cross the grantor's land to reach the well.
• A city charter delegates authority to a police department, and that delegation necessarily includes the power to hire officers and purchase equipment needed to exercise police functions.
• A franchise agreement grants someone the right to operate a restaurant under a brand name, and that grant implicitly includes the right to use the brand's trademarks and recipes.
