This document discusses four major schools of jurisprudential thought: natural law, positivism, historical, and legal realism. It also outlines the major sources of American law including constitutions, statutes, regulations, case law, and common law. Common law originated in England and was based on traditions and past cases. Under common law, separate courts of law and equity provided different types of legal remedies. While separate historically, modern U.S. courts now provide both legal and equitable remedies. Courts rely on precedent through stare decisis to promote consistency and predictability in legal decisions.
The document defines key concepts around laws, rules, and customs. It states that laws are rules made by a sovereign power and apply universally and are strictly enforced. Rules apply to certain people at certain times, are often written down, and are not enforceable by the state. Customs are traditions that have developed within a group over time. It notes that as groups developed, rules became formalized as laws and an authority was put in place to enforce them and penalties. The document examines the differences and relationships between these concepts and how they have evolved and function within society.
Rules are guidelines that apply specifically to participants in an organized activity, like a sport. Laws are rules established by government that everyone in a society must follow. The key differences are that laws apply to all, are enforced by courts, and have formal consequences for breaking them, while rules are more optional and have less serious consequences. Both rules and laws are needed to maintain order and prevent chaos.
The document discusses how law can be used as an instrument of social change. It notes that as societies change over time, new situations will arise that require the legal system to adapt accordingly to allow for peaceful change through legislation and judicial development. Specifically, the document outlines how certain harmful customs in India like sati, child marriage, and female infanticide were legally abolished through acts like the Sati Regulation Act and Child Marriage Restraint Act. However, it also notes that while social legislation can be based on social norms, laws alone cannot initiate change in social norms or values - people must internalize new legal norms for legislation to effectively create social change.

Critical Analysis of Dicey Rule of LawManish Kumar
Dicey's conception of the rule of law is criticized on several grounds. First, his view that parliamentary sovereignty means laws cannot be arbitrary or unjust did not anticipate that parliament could pass bad laws. Second, he did not foresee the need for administrative discretion in modern governance. While discretion is necessary, it must still be constrained by rule of law values like fairness. Third, his view of equality before the law overlooked that officials have powers citizens do not, and equality should account for social differences. More recent scholars have proposed updated principles to define rule of law in a way that better protects rights and limits discretion.

It proposes moving more services like diagnostics and minor surgery from secondary to primary care to improve access and efficiency. This would require new primary care provider models that are larger and better able to facilitate changes.

The role of PCTs would transition to focus on smart commissioning rather than direct provision. Facilitating new mutual providers could help achieve the goals of improved services and management of long-term conditions closer to home.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
