Your work, your rights? Open access in academia in the Netherlands (2012). Sabine K. Lengger
The document discusses open access (OA) publishing and copyright issues. It notes that OA aims to increase visibility and fairness of research while reducing costs. There are two main types of OA - gold OA journals which are fully open access, and green OA which involves self-archiving in repositories. Many funders now require or encourage OA publishing. While authors often sign over full copyright to journals, they can negotiate to retain some rights like archiving preprints. Students discussed their experiences with OA and suggested hosting workshops and talks to better inform their institution on OA publishing options and copyright issues.

ALL of you will be able to identify the relevant doctrines of unlawful act manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter in considering Wayne's potential liability for Martin's death. MOST of you should be able to apply these doctrines to the facts and discuss breaks in the chain of causation. SOME of you may link to relevant cases to support your analysis of Wayne's liability.
This document provides an introduction to the A-Level course on criminal law and tort law. It outlines some of the key topics that will be covered, including:
1) Criminal law topics like murder, manslaughter, assault, and defenses.
2) Tort law concepts such as negligence, occupiers' liability, nuisance, and vicarious liability.
3) The differences between law and morals, law and justice, and judicial creativity - which represent the synoptic element drawing on knowledge across topics.
This document outlines several precedents related to manslaughter cases in UK law. It discusses precedents establishing:
1) Constructive manslaughter requires an unlawful act that a reasonable person would recognize poses a risk of harm.
2) Gross negligence manslaughter is based on ordinary negligence rules, and it is for the jury to decide if the defendant's actions amounted to gross negligence worthy of criminal punishment.
3) Manslaughter is difficult to define, but recklessness can be used to instruct juries, and there is a difference between unlawful and lawful but careless acts.
4) Juries can be instructed on recklessness and subjective recklessness may be enough for manslaughter. Vague definitions are needed for juries in
This document discusses correlating the teaching of physical science with history and geography. It begins by explaining that science should not be taught in isolation and benefits from connections to other subjects. It then provides examples of how physical science correlates with geography, such as instruments used in both subjects and how scientific principles relate to topics in geography. Examples are also given of how physical science interconnects with historical events and figures, such as scientists who received patronage from rulers and how scientific discoveries occurred alongside important time periods. The document concludes that education works best when connections between subjects are emphasized to give students a comprehensive understanding.
The document discusses different perspectives on law and order policy in the UK, including liberal, authoritarian, Conservative, and Labour approaches. It outlines that historically Conservatives were seen as tougher on crime but since the 1990s both major parties have adopted increasingly authoritarian stances to "out tough" each other. While they agree on tougher policing and criminal justice policies, there are some divisions around balancing punishment with addressing social causes of crime and potential civil liberties infringements.
This document discusses the issue of law and order in Pakistan. It notes that law and order has been a longstanding challenge for Pakistan, with governments formulating norms but lacking implementation. It highlights specific problems like terrorists being arrested but not sentenced due to lack of evidence, corruption in law enforcement agencies, and a slow prosecution system. Proposed solutions include renewing laws with stricter punishments, increasing wages for police and paramilitary forces, establishing effective policing, and making the judicial system more efficient.
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.

Common law originated in England and has spread to other countries like Australia. It is law developed by judges through precedents set in past cases, rather than law made by parliament. Judges must follow statutes but can interpret them and fill gaps using common law principles. Over time, as more cases were decided, a system of precedent developed where judges are bound by past decisions of higher courts. Equity later developed to provide remedies where common law was deficient, using moral principles of fairness. Both legal systems now coexist in Australia with precedent and equity considered together. The adversarial system used in common law involves opposing sides arguing their case before a neutral decision maker.
Law and order big challenge for pakistansaleem khan
The document discusses the law and order situation in Pakistan. It faces political and security uncertainties since its inception. Its strategic location also makes it susceptible to instability in neighboring countries like India, China, Afghanistan. The fight between political parties and sectarian violence have exacerbated targeting killing and bombings. This has negatively impacted the economy through reduced investments and growth. Improving the judicial system and having all stakeholders like political parties and security forces work together with effective plans is needed to address this major challenge facing Pakistan.
Natural law claims that everything has a purpose designed by its creator, and this purpose is what is intrinsically good. The concept has its roots in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy as described by thinkers like Aristotle and Cicero. Thomas Aquinas was a major proponent of natural law in the 13th century. He argued that natural law is derived from human reason and aims toward the highest good of God. Natural law theory proposes that there are fundamental moral principles knowable by reason, including prohibitions against murder, theft, and deception. However, critics argue that natural law faces challenges in accounting for concepts like homosexuality, contraception, and evaluating actions based on their consequences rather than intrinsic nature alone.
This document provides an overview of natural law theory, including its origins in ancient Greek philosophy and its development through thinkers like Aquinas, Grotius, and Locke. It discusses two main types of natural law theory: a theory of morality that argues moral propositions can be objectively true or false and are derived from human nature; and a theory of law that argues there is an overlap between law and morality such that legal validity depends at least partly on moral content. The document then examines conceptual naturalism as a form of natural law theory of law, outlining classical naturalism's view that human laws are only valid if consistent with natural law, deriving authority from it. It notes criticisms of conceptual naturalism but argues these
This document discusses political participation and voting behavior in the UK. It provides an overview of key concepts like democracy, political power vs authority, and different theories that seek to explain voting behavior such as party identification theory, sociological theory, and rational choice theory. It also examines factors that influence voting like social class, partisanship, and more recent short-term influences. Participation in politics has declined over time with fewer people joining political parties or contacting politicians.
Law and order problems in the early American West were caused by two overlapping systems of government and the rapid expansion and settlement of the region. Enforcement was difficult due to the vast distances, shortage of officers, and sometimes corrupt officials. Settlers sometimes took matters into their own hands through vigilante committees. Outlaws and disputes between ranchers and homesteaders also contributed to lawlessness. Eventually, as more territories became states, communication improved with the railroad and telegraph, and more permanent towns were established, law and order was established through the formal legal system.
Presentation on Consumer protection act newsatya pal
The Consumer Protection Act was passed in 1986 to protect consumer interests from unscrupulous business practices. It establishes a three-tier system for resolving consumer disputes - district forums for disputes under 20 lakh rupees, state commissions for 20 lakh to 1 crore disputes, and the national commission for over 1 crore disputes. The act defines key terms like 'consumer' and provides remedies like replacement, refunds, and compensation. Consumer organizations play an important role in educating people about their rights under the act.

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.
