Jurisdiction refers to a court's authority to hear and decide cases. There are different types of jurisdiction including subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, territorial jurisdiction, and appellate jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is determined by law and cannot be conferred by agreement of the parties. Remedial law governs procedures for enforcing rights or obtaining redress, while substantive law creates and defines rights. Courts can lose jurisdiction if a new law prohibits continued exercise of jurisdiction or if a defendant is deprived of constitutional rights. Jurisdiction is divided among trial courts, appellate courts, and the Supreme Court based on factors like the type of case, amount in controversy, and whether an appeal is involved.

Enforceability of foreign_judgments_and_foreign_awardsLegalServicesDelhi
With the advent of globalisation and with India poised as a major international and
global player in the world economy, it is apposite to consider the law concerning
enforcement of foreign judgments in India. In law, the enforcement of foreign
judgments is the recognition and enforcement rendered in another ("foreign")
jurisdiction. Foreign judgments may be recognized based on bilateral or multilateral
treaties or understandings, or unilaterally without an express international
agreement. The "recognition" of a foreign judgment occurs when the court of one
country or jurisdiction accepts a judicial decision made by the courts of another
"foreign" country or jurisdiction, and issues a judgment in substantially identical
terms without rehearing the substance of the original lawsuit.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

1. 1
I. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
REMEDIAL LAW is that branch of law which prescribes the method of enforcing rights or
obtaining redress for their invasion [Bustos vs. Lucero, 81 Phil. 640]. It is also known as
Adjective Law.
SUBSTANTIVE LAW is one which creates, defines, and regulates rights.
PROCEDURE is the method of conducting a judicial proceeding. It includes whatever is
embraced in the technical terms, pleadings, practice, and evidence. It is the means by which the
power or authority of a court to hear and decide a class of cases is put to action [Manila
Railroad vs. Atty. General, 20 Phil. 523].
JURISDICTION is the power to hear and decide cases [Herrera vs. Baretto & Joaquin, 25 Phil.
245]. It is the power with which courts are invested with the power of administering justice, that
is, for hearing and deciding cases. In order for the court to have authority to dispose of a case
on the merits, it must acquire jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties [Republic
Planters Bank vs. Molina, 166 SCRA 39].
JURISDICTION VENUE
The authority to hear and determine a case The place where the case is to be heard or
tried
A matter of substantive law A matter of procedural law
Establishes a relation between the court and
the subject matter
Establishes a relation between plaintiff and
defendant, or petitioner and respondent
Fixed by law and cannot be conferred by the
parties
May be conferred by the act or agreement of
the parties
PRINCIPLE OF THE EXERCISE OF EQUITY JURISDICTION is a situation where the court is
called upon to decide a particular situation and release the parties from their correlative
obligations but if it would result in adverse consequences to the parties and the public, the court
would go beyond its power to avoid negative consequences in the release of the parties [Agne vs.
Director of Lands, 181 SCRA 793; Naga Telephone Co. vs. CA, 48 SCAD 539].
ELEMENTS OF JURISDICTION:
(1) Jurisdiction over the
subject matter or nature of
the case
(2) Jurisdiction over the
parties
(3) Jurisdiction over the res
It is conferred by law (BP
129), and does not depend on
the objection or the acts or
omissions of the parties or
anyone of them [Republic vs.
Sangalang, 159 SCRA 515].
Jurisdiction over the person
of the plaintiff is acquired by
the filing of the initiatory
pleading, like a complaint.
It is acquired by the seizure of
the thing under legal process
whereby it is brought into
actual custody of law, or it
may result from the institution
of a legal proceeding wherein
2. 2
It is not waivable, except in
cases of estoppel to question
or raise jurisdiction [Tijam
vs. Sibonghanoy, 23 SCRA
29].
It is determined upon the
allegations made in the
complaint, irrespective of
whether the plaintiff is
entitled or not, to recover
upon the claim asserted
therein, a matter resolved
only after and as a result of
the trial.
Jurisdiction over the person
of the defendant is acquired
by the proper service of
summons, or by his voluntary
appearance in court and his
submission to the authority of
the court [Paramount
Industries vs. Luna, 148
SCRA 564].
the power of the court over
the thing is recognized and
made effective [Banco-
Español Filipino vs. Palanca,
37 Phil. 291].
ELEMENTS OF CRIMINAL JURISDICTION:
(1) Territorial jurisdiction (2) Jurisdiction over the
subject matter
(3) Jurisdiction over the
person of the accused
It is determined by the
geographical area over which
a court presides, and the fact
that the crime was committed,
or any of its essential
ingredients took place within
said area [US vs. Jueves, 23
Phil. 100].
It is determined by the
allegations of the complaint
or information in accordance
with the law in force at the
time of the institution of the
action, not at the time of its
commission [US vs. Mallari,
24 Phil. 366].
It is acquired by the voluntary
appearance or surrender of
the accused or by his arrest
[Choc vs. Vera, 64 Phil.
1066].
INSTANCES WHEN A COURT MAY LOSE JURISDICTION EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN
ATTACHED TO IT:
1 When a subsequent law provides a prohibition for the continued exercise of
jurisdiction [Rilloraza vs. Arciaga, 21 SCRA 717].
2 Where the law penalizing an act which is punishable is repealed by a subsequent
law. The reason is that, the State loses the power to prosecute when the law is
repealed, hence, the court has no more power to decide [People vs. Pastor, 77 Phil.
1000].
3 When accused is deprived of his constitutional right such as where the court fails to
provide counsel for the accused who is unable to obtain one and does not
intelligently waive his constitutional right [Chavez vs. CA, 24 SCRA 663].
4 When the proceeding s in the court acquiring jurisdiction is terminated, abandoned
3. 3
or declared void [Seven vs. Pichay, 108 Phil. 419].
5 When the statute expressly provides, or is construed to the effect that it intended to
operate as to actions pending before its enactment [Bengzon vs. Inciong, 91 SCRA
284].
6 Once appeal has been perfected [Alma vs. Abbas, 18 SCRA 836].
7 When the law is curative [Garcia vs. Martinez, 90 SCRA 331].
DOCTRINE OF JUDICIAL STABILITY: Should one branch be permitted to equally assert,
assume, or retain jurisdiction over a case in controversy over which another coordinate or co-
equal branch has already assumed jurisdiction, then that would be sanctioning undue
interference by one branch over another. With that, judicial stability would be meaningless
precept in a well-ordered administration of justice [Parcon vs. CA, 111 SCRA 262].
JURISDICTION OF METROPOLITAN TRIAL COURTS, MUNICIPAL TRIAL COURTS,
MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL COURTS:
1. Exclusive original jurisdiction over all violations of city or municipal ordinances
committed within their respective territorial jurisdiction; and
2. Exclusive original jurisdiction over all offenses punishable with imprisonment not

6. In all cases not within the exclusive jurisdiction of any court, tribunal, person or body

now provided by law; and
8. In all other cases in which the demand, exclusive of interest and damages of whatever
kind, attorney’s fees, litigation expenses, and cost or the value of the property in
4. 4
controversy exceeds P200,000, or in such other cases in Metro Manila where the
demand, exclusive of the above-mentioned items exceeds P400,000.

2. Exclusive original jurisdiction over actions for annulment of judgments of RTCs;
