Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.
WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
1. Investing in America under the E2 Visa
Shah Peerally Law Group PC
The E2 Treaty visa
US Investment Visa Options
www.PeerallyLaw.com
Phone (510) 742 5887
2. How To Qualify under the E2 Visa?
To qualify, the investor must establish the
following:
(1) the individual is a national of a treaty country;
(2) the individual has a “substantial investment” or
plans to substantially invest in a “real, continuing
commercial enterprise”; and
(3)the individual is coming to America to develop
the investment.
3. What is an E2 Visa
An individual can acquire an E-2 visa if the
individual is entering the U.S. to invest in a
continuing commercial enterprise. Note that E-
2 Treaty investors should be distinguished from
EB-5 immigrant investors.
Unlike EB-5 visas that grant conditional
residency, an E-2 only confers nonimmigrant
status.
4. Who Qualifies for E2 Visa?
As a treaty investor, you must be coming to the
United States to invest in a new or existing enterprise.
USCIS defines an E-2 investment as the investor’s
placing of capital, including funds and other assets, at
risk in the commercial sense with the objective of
generating a profit. Your investment may be for the
purpose of establishing a new business venture, or
purchasing a pre-existing business. In either
scenario, you must demonstrate that the capital you
are investing is substantial.
5. Your investment must be in a bona fide
enterprise and may not be marginal.
A bona fide enterprise is one that is a real, active
commercial or entrepreneurial undertaking which
produces services or goods for profit. The enterprise
cannot be an idle investment held for potential
appreciation in value, such as undeveloped land or
stocks held by an investor who has no intent to direct
the enterprise.
A marginal enterprise is one that will not generate more
than enough income to provide a minimal living for you
and your family or to make a significant economic
contribution.
6. Some of the evidence you may submit to
demonstrate that your business is bona fide
includes:
Notice of assigment of an Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS)
Tax returns
Financial statements
Quarterly wage reports or payroll summaries (i.e., W-2s and W-3)
Business organizational chart
Business licenses
Bank statements, utility bills, and advertisements/telephone directory listings
Contracts or customer/vendor agreements
Escrow documents
Lease agreement
7. Some of the evidence you may submit to
demonstrate that your business is not marginal
includes:
Detailed business plan or executive summary showing
that your business will produce more than a minimal
living for you and your family or will create a significant
economic contribution, along with any evidence that
you believe will support the statements in your
business plan.
U.S. or foreign individual tax returns
Financial statements
Payroll summaries (i.e., W-2s and W-3)
8. You must be in possession of the funds you will invest and
the funds must be committed to your business.
You must demonstrate that the capital you
invest is irrevocably committed to the
enterprise and subject to partial or total loss
in the event that the entity fails. The funds
you invest must also be your own.
Additionally, the invested funds must be
substantial in relationship to the total cost of
either purchasing an established enterprise
or creating the type of enterprise you are
considering.
9. Some of the evidence you may submit to demonstrate that your
investment is substantial and irrevocably committed to the enterprise
includes:
Canceled money orders and/or checks
Corresponding personal and/or business bank statements
Itemized list of goods and materials purchased for the start-up
Corresponding financial accounting documentation
Lease agreement
Term Sheet, Letter of Intent, or Memorandum of Understanding
Bill of sale
Escrow documents
Loan and/or mortgage agreements
Capitalization table
Valuation analysis of business assets
10. More evidence...
Purchase agreement for business assets
Valuation analysis of stock
Stock purchase agreement, accompanied by:
Meeting minutes
Stock ledger
Stock certificate
Corresponding forms of payment for stock
11. You must be able to provide the source of
your funding.
You must show a clear and legitimate path
regarding the source of the capital you will be
investing. You must also demonstrate that the
funds you are investing have not been obtained
through criminal means.
12. Some of the evidence you may submit to
demonstrate the source of your capital includes:
Wire transfers, money orders, and/or canceled
checks
Foreign and domestic bank statements
Foreign tax returns
