Medical Negligence
This document discusses medical negligence and ethics. It defines key concepts like clinical ethics, law, risk management, informed consent, and medical malpractice. It explains how negligence occurs when a provider deviates from the standard of care. It discusses a patient's burden to prove duty, breach, injury, and damages in negligence cases. It also addresses how ethics is important to avoid legal issues and emphasizes continual education, following standards of care, and the importance of informed consent and patients' understanding in reducing negligence claims.
Medical negligence and consumer protection law
Negligence involves the breach of a legal duty of care which results in injury. The elements of negligence include a duty to meet a standard of care, breach of that duty through failure to exercise reasonable care, causation between the breach and the injury, and damages. Medical professionals are considered to provide a service and can be held liable for negligence under consumer protection laws in India if their actions or lack thereof breach the duty of care owed to patients. However, the burden of proof lies with the complainant to prove negligence through a higher standard of evidence.
Adultery
Adultery is defined as a voluntary sexual relationship between a married person and someone who is not their lawful spouse. It is considered legally wrong and punishable under Indian law. Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code defines adultery and sets out punishment of up to 5 years in prison. The courts have upheld the constitutionality of this law, finding it does not discriminate based on gender.
Legithmacy of a child
This document discusses the concepts of legitimacy and illegitimacy under Indian law. It defines a legitimate child as one born during a valid marriage or within 280 days of the marriage ending. An illegitimate child is born outside of marriage. Legitimacy is important for inheritance cases and determining child support. The document outlines factors like blood group compatibility that may determine disputed parentage. It also briefly discusses concepts like superfetation that could impact determinations of legitimacy.
civil and criminal Negligence
Civil negligence refers to acts by a treating physician that cause suffering, harm or damage to a patient, which can be compensated monetarily. It does not fall under the purview of criminal law. Criminal negligence is more serious and is typically limited to cases where the patient has died, often due to a physician's drunkenness or impaired abilities through drug use. The key difference between civil and criminal negligence is that civil negligence may result in monetary compensation, while criminal negligence can lead to legal punishment under section 304-A of the Indian Penal Code.

Compare and contrast the Mc Naughtan rule with the Durham rule
The McNaughtan Rule and the Durham Rule are two different legal tests for determining criminal insanity. The McNaughtan Rule focuses on whether the defendant knew the nature and quality of their actions or knew if their actions were wrong. The Durham Rule focuses on whether the defendant's unlawful act was the product of mental disease or defect. Some key differences are that the McNaughtan Rule is more cognitive and focuses on awareness, while the Durham Rule focuses on ability to control conduct and considers a broader range of mental disorders. The Durham Rule is also broader in scope and is currently only used in New Hampshire.

Limited Liability Partnership
This document provides an introduction and comparison of limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and basic partnerships. Some key points:
1. LLPs were introduced to provide more flexibility for business organizations while maintaining limited liability for partners. They combine features of partnerships and companies.
2. Unlike partnerships, LLPs have separate legal personality and partners have limited liability. However, partners are still liable for their own wrongful acts.
3. LLP registration requirements are simpler than for companies but more formal than basic partnerships. LLPs must also appoint a compliance officer.
4. LLPs can continue operating with one partner for a defined period, whereas partnerships require a minimum of two partners. LLP
Various tests for duty of care
This document discusses the development of the duty of care test in negligence law. It begins by introducing the "neighbour principle" established in Donoghue v Stevenson, which holds that one owes a duty of care to those who could foreseeably be injured by one's actions. It then explains that this test was expanded by the two-pronged "Anns test" developed in Anns v London Borough of Merton. The Anns test first considers proximity, then allows consideration of policy reasons for limiting the duty of care. The document analyzes how these cases helped define who qualifies as a "neighbor" owed a duty of care in negligence cases.

The document analyzes that the rulings in both cases are the same as they apply the same legal principle of stare decisis, where the later case of Ang Seng Wan cited the earlier case of Raja Abdul Malek as
Striking out pleadings
The document discusses the law on striking out pleadings in Malaysia. It defines what can be struck out, who can apply, the grounds for an application, and the procedure. A party may apply to strike out all or part of the opposing party's pleadings. Grounds for striking out include if there is no reasonable cause of action or defence, or if the pleadings are scandalous, frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of court process. The application must be made promptly, preferably before the close of pleadings, and state the specific grounds and order sought.
Modes of commencement : Civil procedure
The document discusses the writ as a mode of originating process in court. It provides details on:
- The requirements for a writ to be deemed issued, including being numbered, signed, dated and sealed.
- The importance of the date of issue, which determines limitation periods and the lifespan of the writ.
- The options if a plaintiff's writ expires, such as issuing a new writ or applying to renew the writ.
- The rules regarding serving a writ on individuals and companies, including the various methods and exceptions.
parol evidence rule and collateral contract
This document discusses the parol evidence rule in contract law in Malaysia. It provides definitions of key concepts like contracts and the parol evidence rule. The main points are:
1) Sections 91 and 92 of Malaysia's Evidence Act 1950 govern the parol evidence rule - oral evidence cannot contradict a written contract except in specific exceptions.
2) There have been different interpretations by courts on when oral evidence can be admitted, with some cases taking a stricter view to protect the written terms.
3) Collateral contracts, being separate oral promises existing alongside the written contract, are one way oral evidence can be admitted without violating the parol evidence rule.
Appearance and default judgment
The document discusses the procedures for entering an appearance and obtaining a judgment in default of appearance (JIDA) under Malaysian civil procedure rules.
It explains that once served with a writ, the defendant must enter an appearance within a specified time limit, usually 14 days. Failure to do so allows the plaintiff to obtain a JIDA. A JIDA can be final, for liquidated sums, or interlocutory, requiring damages to be assessed.
The defendant can apply to set aside a JIDA within 30 days. For irregular judgments obtained not in compliance with rules, the JIDA can be set aside as of right. For regular judgments, the defendant must show they have a defense on the merits by disclosing evidence
Defence of infancy
This document summarizes the laws around criminal liability for minors in Malaysia. It outlines that under Malaysian law, children under 10 cannot be criminally liable, while those between 10-12 may not be liable if they are found to not understand the nature and consequences of their actions. It compares these provisions to English common law. The document also discusses two court cases that further illustrate how these defenses for minors are applied and interpreted.
Defences (infancy)
Samy and Kutu, both aged 11, are charged with attempted theft of a motorcycle. They can claim the defense of infancy under Section 83 of the Penal Code if they are found to lack sufficient maturity and understanding of their actions. However, evidence that they skillfully cut the lock with a tool and fled from police suggests they understood the wrongful and prohibited nature of their conduct, meaning Section 83 defense would not apply in this case.
Fixtures in land law
This document discusses the concept of fixtures under Malaysian law, as defined by judges in key cases. It defines fixtures as anything attached to land, making it immovable and part of the land. The document examines two tests from an English case - degree and purpose of annexation - to determine if machinery is a fixture. It summarizes several Malaysian cases that applied these principles to determine if various structures and equipment were fixtures or movable property. The general principle is that fixtures are considered part of the land, unless shown to be intended as temporary or there is custom treating them as movable property.
Constructive trust
Constructive trusts arise by operation of law when it would be unfair for a person to deny a beneficial interest in property to another. There are two main types - institutional constructive trusts, which develop through case law, and remedial constructive trusts used to allocate property interests equitably when a relationship breaks down. Constructive trusts can arise in several situations, including when there is a breach of fiduciary duty, when strangers receive trust property knowing it was transferred in breach of trust, through agreements to create secret trusts or mutual wills, and when statutes are used as an "engine of fraud." Equitable principles prevent unjust enrichment through constructive trusts.

Corporate Governance and Board Structure
Corporate collapses, misinformation, fraud and the failure of many watchdog institutions, from auditors to investment analysts, have driven the need for change beyond the self-policing business arena and into the realm of politics - as had happened to Enron and Worldcom - as well as lesser corporate debacles, such as Adelphia Communications, AOL, Arthur Andersen, Global Crossing, Tyco, created an atmosphere of doubt and among the investing public.

Describe the relationship between a corporation’s common stockholder.pdf
Describe the relatinship between different quadrilateralsin this hierarcy. Explain your answer.
a. What is the relationships between a (1) quadrilateral, (2) kite, (3) rhombus, and (4) square? is a
square a rhombus, is a rhombus a kite, is a kite a quadrilateral? Explain.
b. What is the relationship between a (1) quaddrilateral, (2) trapezoid, (3) isoscles trapezoid, (4)
rectangle, and (5) square? Is a square a rectangle, is a rectangle an isosceles trapezoid, is an
isosceles trapezoid a trapezoid, is a trapezoid a quadrilateral? Explain.
c. How do parellelograms fit into the mix?
Solution
a.
It depends on how exactly you definite a \"kite\". Formally speaking, your teacher is wrong. A
kite is typically defined as a planar, convex quadrilateral where two adjacent sides are of the
same length as each other (\"a\"), and the other two adjacent sides are of the same length as each
other (\"b\"):
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Kite.html
So in this sense, a rhombus is a type of kite (where a=b), and a square is a type of kite too
(where a=b, and there\'s a 90 degree angle).
I\'m guessing that your teacher is redefining \"kite\" to be such a shape where \'a\' and \'b\' are
strictly NOT equal to each other, or some equivalent of that. In that case, your teacher is correct.
But this confusion is why it\'s important to have formal definitions in mathematics.

2) PROPERTIES OF PARALLELOGRAM:
- All sides across from each other are parallel
- Diagonals bisect each other
- opposite sides are congruent
- opposite angles are congruent
3)TWO METHODS THAT PROVE IT IS A P.GRAM:
-If pairs of opposite sides are congruent
- if consecutive angles are supplementary
4) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAPEZOID AND ISOSCELES TRAPEZOID:
- Trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and one pair of congruent sides
- Isosceles Trapezoid also has a pair of parallel sides but the other pair of sides are not congruent

It touches on how smoke can travel between units, relevant case law which has found in favor of non-smokers about 68% of the time, and options for boards to address smoking through rules, amendments to governing documents, and physical modifications. Enforcement remains difficult due to the lack of objective smoke measurement standards.

AED
This document discusses the risks and benefits of community associations having automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on site. It notes that while AEDs could save lives in emergencies, associations face litigation risks if the devices are not properly maintained and fail to work when needed. California law provides some liability protections for associations that comply with maintenance and training requirements, but many associations lack staff to ensure these requirements are met. Associations must decide if the benefits of acquiring an AED outweigh the risks of noncompliance with the law.
CERT
While forming a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) seems like a good way for a homeowners association to help residents in an emergency, it also carries significant legal risks. The document discusses these risks, including that the Good Samaritan Law does not protect associations from liability, and a CERT could be sued for injuries caused by its actions or failures to act. It recommends that associations consider insurance, make clear they are not endorsing any CERT, and focus on advising residents rather than taking direct responsibility for emergency response.
