People V. Rower Case Summary
WAYNE F. CROWE, JR., an attorney duly licensed to practice law before the Courts of the State of
New York, affirms under the penalties of perjury that the following statements are true and accurate:
1. I am the attorney for the Petitioner in the above–referenced special proceeding, wherein Petitioner
seeks an Order of Protection against his brother in law, Respondent Joza. 2. The Respondent has
moved herein for an order pursuant to CPLR §3211(a)(7) dismissing the Petitioner's family offense
petition and requests that this Court vacate the Temporary Order of Protection issued in conjunction
therewith. For the reasons that follow, the Respondent's motion must be dismissed. 3. In essence,
Respondent is seeking amplification of the pleadings, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The facts as taken as true and all reasonable inferences that flow therefrom establish that a course of
conduct was taken by Respondent against Petitioner. 9. In People v Pugash, 179 Misc2d 819 (S. Ct.
Appellate Term, 2d Dept 1999) the Court held that three telephone calls from the defendant to the
victim was sufficient to establish a course of conduct as required by Penal Law § 240.26. 10. Case
law suggests that an isolated incident is insufficient to make a prima facie showing of harassment,
but does not establish a bright line rule about the quantity of incidents that constitute a course of
conduct. In this case, the petition alleges several text messages and fully describes at least two of
them. This is sufficient to establish a course of conduct. 11. For an intentional crime, the perpetrator
must engage in conduct with the conscious objective and purpose of causing a particular unlawful
result. People v Atkinson, 21 AD3d 145 (2d Dept 2005). Intent for the purposes of statutory
requirements under the Penal Law can be inferred from the act itself or from the defendant's
[Respondent's] conduct and the surrounding circumstances. People v Bracey, 41 NY2d 296 (1977).
More importantly, "t]he question of whether [respondent] acted with the requisite intent to harass,

Maria Ordered Supplies From Ftc Enterprises
11. Maria ordered supplies from FTC enterprises. Bob, the owner of FTC enterprises, sent a credit
application form to Maria. A couple of days later, Maria sent back the credit application with a
signature that appeared to be under her name. Bob shipped the supplies thereafter awaiting Maria's
payments which never came. Bob later sued Maria for payment collection, but Maria denied ever
signing the paperwork and claimed that all credit documents were referred to her receptionist. Is
Maria liable?
In this case Maria is considered as a disclosed principal and Maria's receptionist is her agent. A
disclosed principal is defined as a principal whose identity is known by a third party (Clarkson,
2015, p 644). FTC being the third party in this situation, recognizes Maria as a principal and
recognized her receptionist as an extension of Maria's authority. By referring credit documents and
inquiries to her receptionist, Maria is granting her receptionist implied authority to process credit
documents on her behalf (Clarkson, 2015, p. 643). Therefore, Maria will be held liable regardless of
whether or not she was aware of her receptionist's actions.

INJUNCTIONS
In the first place, that the members are entitled to hold a registered company to its registered objects
has been recognized long since. Hence whenever an ultra vires act has been or is about to be
undertaken, any member of the company can get an injunction to restrain it from proceeding with it.
In this case the House of Lords observed that the doctrine of ultra vires, as it was explained in the
Ashbury's case, should be maintained. But it ought to be reasonably and not unreasonably
understood and applied and that whatever may fairly be regarded as incidental to the objects
authorized ought not to be held ultra vires, unless it is expressly prohibited.
Accordingly in London County Council V Attorney General , the council having statutory power to
work tramways was restrained from running omnibus in connection with tramways. The court found
that the omnibus business was in no way incidental to the business of working tramways, and
therefore, could not be undertaken although it might have materially contributed to the ... Show

To put it in other words, that ultra vires contract is void and without any legal effect, which may

The Case Of Harvey And Capability Limited
The Case of Harvey and Capability Limited
Before analysing, Harvey needs to be advised that there are two known clauses that exist in a
contract; limitation clause and exclusion clause. He needs to understand that there is a difference
between both of these clauses. When there is a breach of the contract, the limitation clause that is
relied on in a contract and enforced would make an effort to pay for certain damages. This can only
be used as an indicator for Harvey to recognise their differences, but, it will not be explained any
further as the enquiry made is only related to exclusion clause. Capability Limited is a private
limited company that has subcontracted a sole proprietor, Reckless Enterprise. As the damages were
done by Reckless Enterprise, with the matter of who is liable to pay for it, the court needs to look
deep into the consequences of Capability Limited and how Reckless Enterprise was included in the
Memorandum as a third party.
Exclusion Clauses
If the contract is breached, the party relying on the exclusion clauses will not be responsible for
paying for any damages (Treitel, 1995). If the document does not have any intention for the
contract, exclusion clause will not be bound. As it can only be defined in this manner, Harvey also

It is a philosophy of Contract Law. There should be an intention to make an offer, and, to accept and

be bound by it. In L'Estrange v Graucob, the claimant purchased a cigarette vending machine and
signed the order without reading the clause. She sued the defendants as it did not work but the court
argues that, once signed, she was automatically bound by the clause regardless of whether she read

Elements Of Contracts Act 1950
Introduction In Malaysia, all contracts formed are bounded and enforced by the Contracts act 1950.
The conditions stated in all contracts must be certain and definite. This is crucial to every contract
formed because it would be biased for a court to determine the performance of a contract based on
the ambiguity or error of the contract. There are six elements that must be present when forming a
contract, being; Offer, Acceptance, Consideration, Intention to create legal relations, Capacity to
contract, and Certainty. For this assignment, let's focus on the capacity to contract and critically
discuss of the fairness of this element of Contracts act 1950. In a very general term, everybody has
the capacity to contract. Section 11 of the Contracts Act 1950 states that "Every person is competent
to contract, who is of age of majority according to the law which he is subject , and who is of sound
mind, and is not disqualified from contracting by any law to which he is subject"(Section 11 of
Malaysian Contracts Act, 1950). It basically derives to mean that any person who intends to enter
into a contract must have the capacity in terms of a sound mind, age and not disqualified by law.

COMPLAINT Frank W.Tolman, Sr., submitted a complaint on October 25, 2014, regarding Alan L.
Grenier, Esq. Tolman Sr. alleges that Grenier did not properly handle the sale of his property, 175
Central Street, Georgetown, MA. During the sale Tolman alleges that Grenier was deceitful,
unethical, and fraudulent. Additionally, he asserts that he did not receive his entire case file,
including properly executed paperwork required for taxes, and that Grenier "continued to run up
legal bills and stalled me with no action." Grenier has allegedly violated Mass.R.Prof.C. 1.1, 1.2,
1.4(a)&(b), 1.16(d), and 8.4(c). FACTS In 2003, Tolman Sr. retained Grenier to assist in the sale of
his property located at 175 Central Street, Georgetown, MA. Tolman Sr. purchased the land in 1960,
and in 1996 he granted an easement on the property to a neighbor in order to "use, maintain, and
repair an existing" septic leaching field on his property. The property has many issues as a result of
this septic system and its lack of inspection of, as well as its proximity to conservation and
wetlands. It appears that Tolman Sr. had been trying to sell this piece of land since at least 2003, and
even received an offer of $215,800 from one prospective buyer in 2006; however that sale fell

The Production Of Anti Oxidant Muscadine Grapes
Facts of the Case:
I have been in business with this family owned produce store that specializes in the production of
anti–oxidant Muscadine grapes. We have formed a contract given the results of how popular their
product was: I place regular orders to be supplied with their grapes, and in return I make my
payment within 30 days. They have filled out all of my requests in a faithful manner. However, on
several occasions I was 15–30 days late with my payments. The company never charged me interest
or late fees. Recently, I have formed a new contract with the son of the owners of the company. It
was to stipulate a guaranteed price schedule to what I have been paying. At the time the son was
only 17 years old, but it has been a month since ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, in our state legislatures, if the son allowed 30 days to pass by after his 18th birthday, the
legal majority age, the contract is then ratified. The contract was only shown to the owners after I
have threatened litigation.
Legal Issues:
The legal issues that are present are: breach of contract caused by the family owned produce, the
validity of the contract signed by a minor, and the authorization that minor possessed in relation to
the company. The family owned produced breached their duty of care to me by trying to renege on
the newly formed obligations between my store and them. By attempting to drop me from their
clientele, they have not performed the promised agreements to which the son signed to. Another
legal issue is the validity of the contract that was signed by a minor. As mentioned previously, if
ever a signing party or parties were under the legal majority age (18 years old), that party has the
right to withdraw from their obligations prior to 30 days after their 18th birthday. If the son had of
done this, I would not have seek out any litigious actions against the family owned produce. By
withdrawing before this time frame, no legal agency or entity will see any grounds for me having
the right of recovering any damages made by their actions. However, since the son did not withdraw
from the obligations, nor did the family

The main purpose of bank guarantee is to provide incentive to creditor to take risks. It protects the
beneficiary in case of non–performance without requirement of any legal actions. When a bank
guarantees on behalf of its client, it assures the other party of financial stability of the client, which
would enable both parties to carry out their business without fear of any delay or non–performance.
It also allows the party, at whose instance, it was given, to earn interest on the amount while it is
kept safe and secure in the bank as a guarantee. Generally, a bank guarantee is used in international
trade, where parties do not know each other or law in each other's country as it saves them from any
risk in case of non–performance or legal disputes. The bank guarantees are broadly divided into two
categories; Financial Guarantees and performance guarantees. A guarantee which is issued in lieu of
monetary consideration is called a financial bank guarantee whereas a guarantee, which is issued in
respect of performance of a contractual obligation is known as a performance bank guarantee. A

Cercla Research Paper
The CERCLA act was designed to create a web of fault camps or in other words liability. "A private
CERCLA recovery action may be brought against any liable party regardless of whether the federal
government has initiated either clean up or a cost recovery action of its own. Parties that settle with
the government however are not liable for contribution." (Dybdahl, 2009). As noted in section 107
of CERCLA there are four classes of persons liable. These persons are present and former owners,
operators, generators, and transporters. Persons who fall into these categories may be held jointly
and severally liable. Current owners face harsh liability because they are liable even if they did not
own the site at the time of disposal. CERCLA however provides a defense if the release and
damages were wholly caused by an act of omission of a third party other than one whose act or
omission occurred in connection with a contractual relation with the defendant. This was later
amended by CERCLA in 1986 due to the term "contractual relationship" because thus arguably
includes transfers of lands. Therefore, CERCLA was amended to exclude innocent land owners
from the definition (Dybdahl, Interview). The second class of persons liable are past owners and
operators. Liability falls under if they owned ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

For Robbie to complete the actus reus of murder, the stabbing needs to be the reason for Tommy's

Tommy's death. Robbie's stabbing needs only to make a substantial contribution to the killing as

satisfy causation. R v White, sets out the 'but for test' which asks; 'but for the actions of the

Tommy's death. R v Cato also held that the defendants conduct must be more than a 'minimal' cause

The Effects Of Psychological Techniques On Innocent...
FALSE CONFESSIONS The majority of people find it hard to believe that an individual who is
innocent would confess to a serious crime that they did not commit. However, empirical data has
now revealed that many innocent defendants have been convicted on the basis of their false
confessions (White, 2003). The following section will analyze false confessions and how they
happen. This section will examine the characteristics of a defendant that may alter a confession, and
then go on to looking at the circumstances of the interrogation.
In the majority of false confession cases, police did not extract the confession by employing torture
techniques. However, the effects of psychological techniques on innocent defendants may have been
underestimated in the past. There are many contributing factors that lead to the admission of false
confessions. The system must consider these factors when determining if a confession is legitimate.
Mental health is one of the major factors one must consider when looking at a confession. Mentally
handicapped defendants are far more susceptible to respond to suggestive police interrogations with
false confessions (White, 2003). To provide an adequate defense, a lawyer should access a
defendant's IQ and determine weather there is a possibility that the defendant may have a mental
disability.
Next, it is important to examine the circumstances of the police interrogation. When a defendant

Introduction
According to Wikipedia, Intellectual property is the legal term that refers to the creation of minds,
such as inventors, music, literature, artistic works, words, phrases, symbol and designs. Under
intellectual property law, the owner of intellectual property is granted certain exclusive rights.
Basically, Intellectual property is the term that refers to the creation of mind: inventions, literary and
artistic work; names, symbol and images used in commerce, trade. Intellectual property is divided

Legal Terms Of Contract Law
Introduction: In this assignment I will go over a few legal terms in relation to contract law. I will
also talk about a few precedents that help explain the law. Terms of the contract Terms are the things
that make up the contract. They are the actions and inactions that the parties agree upon with each
other. Without the terms there is no contract. They are divided into a few parts, there is express
terms and implied terms. Express terms are terms which are stated and made clear to both parties.
They can be spoken and written but the expression and agreement of them is what makes the
expressed terms. For instance, my phone company are offering me unlimited minutes, this is an

Conditions are the major terms of the contract, these are the key terms to the contract and are really
important. Each party has a duty to fulfil their obligations in order to fulfil the conditions of the
contract. They are decided at the point that the contract is being negotiated. Express conditions are
conditions that are clearly stated in the contract. In a contract such as a lease, it will be clearly stated
that a person leases the property out for X years and that they will receive the stated amount.
Implied conditions are conditions that are presumed based on the context and nature of the contract,
they are upheld by the law and it is the judicial system that can decide whether implied conditions
are truly implied in a contract. The example of the man in the restaurant is an example of an implied
condition. If any of the conditions are breached by a party, then the other party(s) can claim
damages and can also repudiate the contract. Damages is the term used to describe the monetary
compensation that is awarded by a court in a civil suit to the complainant by the defendant. The
purpose is to restore an injured party to the way they were before they were harmed. Repudiate is
the legal term used for when a party rejects the whole contract. If the party repudiates the whole
contract due to a key condition being breached then they are not bound by the obligations stated in
the contract. They can

The Legal Terms Of Piracy
the work they are utilizing given that they meet the definition of their given label and qualify as fair
use (Stim 396). For example, a parody must be ruled as humorous by definition, and fair use implies
that the content is meant to give a positive outlook on the original work rather than downgrade it. In
legal terms, piracy violates one of the seven given rights outlines within the Copyright Act.
The contracts between artists, authors, inventors, and their companies and publishers are violated in
numerous ways. The most common infringement occurs daily, as often people make copies of items
without previous knowledge of their illegal actions. These minute acts are difficult to prevent

Many laws and punishments have been written to prevent piracy and its consequences. In 1897,
Congress established a branch entitled The U.S. Copyright Office, which constructs and enforces
copyright law. The complexity of the penalty has grown along with the excessive abuse of pirated
content (Congress). Simply scribbling over a copyright notice in a book is a twenty–five thousand
dollar fine. If more than one act of intentional copyright infringement is committed within a six
month period, the culprit may be fined a sum worth a given ratio to the value of the stolen products
as well as a sentenced of one to five years in prison. given the severity of the situation, fines can
range from five hundred thousand to one million dollars (Stim, 315–319). The prison sentence can
also be extended to up to ten years.
When taken to court, cases of copyright infringement become extremely hazy. The victim must
prove not only that the material is a copy or semblance of their product. simple details can turn an
entire verdict. In 1980, Star Wars sued and defeated the upstart television show Battlestar Galactica
(Boekweg). Twenty First Century Fox was able to specify 34 similarities that, although not totally

The normal relationship amongst a bank and a customer is not of trust and confidence however it is

Derby Vs. Derby Case Summary
INTRODUCTION The enforcement of the contract against the Smiths is unconscionable because
the contract between the Smiths and Star Rent–to–Own involves gross disparity and
overreaching/oppressive influences. Star has taken an unfair advantage of the Smith's dependence,
economic distress, and inexperience. During the execution of the contract, not all information was
presented to the defendants and this played a major role in convincing them to enter into the
contract. This brief is filed in support of the defendants Alex and Sandra Smith, showing the
contract to be unconscionable. STATEMENT OF FACTS In June 2016, Alex and Sandra Smith after

The plaintiff, during the signing of the contract, acted in a fraudulent manner. He took advantage of
the defendant's excitement to offer the product at exorbitant amounts. He did not clearly explain to
them what the terms they had agreed to implied. Courts have not shied away from invalidating
contracts when it becomes apparent that one party benefitted unfairly at the end of the stipulated
term. This position was held in the case of Derby v. Derby. In this case, the court argued that Mrs.
Derby had used fraudulent means to ensure that Mr. Derby signed the legal documents that
conveyed the property to her. Mrs. Derby had failed to explain to Mr. Derby what the documents
represented, and their effect. Also, Mr. Derby had acted on misinformed belief that Mrs. Derby
would return home if he (Mr. Derby signed the documents. The court ruled for Mr. Derby. This is a
similar situation that the defendants, in this case, find them in. The plaintiff, while presenting the

See Dixon v. Spencer, 59 Md. 246, 247–48 (1883). The surety, however, becomes subrogated to the
rights of the obligee when the surety pays the debt for the principal obligor. See Weast v. Arnold,
299 Md. 540, 553, 474 A.2d 904, 911 (1984). With respect to notice of default, the surety is
ordinarily held to know every default of his principal because he is under a duty to make inquiry and
ascertain whether the principal obligor is discharging the obligation resting on him. See L. Simpson,
supra, § 41, at 165 ("[I]t is generally not necessary for the creditor to notify the surety of the fact
that the principal debtor is in default on his promise. It is the duty of the surety to the creditor to see

Essay On B's Equitable Interest
Introduction
This essay will start by considering B's position – how the Law of Property Act 1925 and Land
Registration Act 2002 affect her interest in Y in relation to D's interest. It will then move on to
consider C's position in a similar fashion. Finally, it will conclude with a critical examination of
some of the legal principles applied.
Brenda's Interest
B's equitable interest is generated from her contribution to the purchase price of Y through the
creation of a trust in the property. Such an interest was previously classified in the Land Registration
Act 1995 as a 'minor interest', and ought to be registered in the proprietorship register of Y's title as
restriction on the proprietorship register, in accordance with s. 40 – 47 of the Land Registration Act
2002 to facilitate overreaching.
According to s. 2(2) of the Law of Property Act 1925, overreaching can only occur when the
purchaser, during a registered disposition of land, deals with two or more trustees – the equitable
interests of the beneficiaries under the trust would then be swept off the land, and included in the
purchase price of the property. On the facts, because Y is held on trust exclusively by A, D would
have only dealt with one trustee during the transaction. This would mean that the doctrine of
overreaching does not apply with respect to B's equitable interests.
Under s. 29(2)(a)(i) of the Land Registration Act 2002, pre–existing interests in land can only be

Legal Terms Of Contract Law
Introduction: In this assignment I will go over a few legal terms in relation to contract law. I will
also talk about a few precedents that help explain the law. Terms of the contract Terms are the things
that make up the contract. They are the actions and inactions that the parties agree upon with each
other. Without the terms there is no contract. They are divided into a few parts, there is express
terms and implied terms. Express terms are terms which are stated and made clear to both parties.
They can be spoken and written but the expression and agreement of them is what makes the
expressed terms. For instance, my phone company are offering me unlimited minutes, this is an
expressed term of the contract since it is communicate to me (through words). Implied terms are
terms that are assumed and expected to be carried out. They do not have to be communicated since
it would be reasonable to assume that both parties are aware of them. To put this into context let's
take the example of the man at the restaurant. He orders his meal, eats his meal and then walks out
the restaurant instead of paying at the end. He claims he was never asked to pay, so he doesn't need
to. He is in the wrong since it is an implied term that after a meal the customer must pay the
restaurant for their order. If he walks out without paying he is breaching the contract and breaking
the law. The restaurant are entitled to sue for damages and use the law against the customer.

done so unintentionally. Should the court have acquitted him? (free from a criminal charge by a
verdict of not guilty.) The court should not acquit the defendant because he did run through a stop
sign, which is considered a mala prohibita offense. These offenses were created to protect the health,
safety, or welfare of society by lawmakers. Therefore, "violations of most traffic regulations and
motor vehicle laws also are considered mala prohibita; running a red light, speeding, passing

Personal Property Case Study
The case study "Parking Lot's Liability" is an actual court case, Allright, Inc. v. Strauder. Plaintiff
brought suit alleging that as a result of defendant's negligence, his automobile was stolen from a
parking lot operated by defendant. Signs were located throughout the parking lot which stated that
the lot closed at 6 o'clock p.m. and that anyone returning after that time could pick up their keys at
another parking lot operated by the defendant at a another location. He was aware of the time when
he left the car at the station and that the signs and the claim ticket said the lot closed at 6 o'clock. So
indeed a bailment was created. The definition of bailment is a transaction in which an owner ...

Once the purpose of the bailment has been completed, the bailee usually must return the property to
the bailor, or account for it, depending upon the terms of the contract. Legal liability usually takes
the form of monetary damages to compensate for the breach of the legal duty. A requisite to the
creation of a bailment is the express or implied acceptance of possession or control over the
property by the bailee. A person cannot unwittingly become a bailee. Because a bailment is a
contract, knowledge and acceptance of its terms are essential to its enforcement. (Cheeseman, 2010)
Had the parking garage been closed when the plaintiff left his car, there would be no bailment
created. Lost, mislaid, and abandoned property is categories of the common law of property which
deals with personal property which has left the possession of its rightful owner without having
entered the possession of another person. Property can be considered lost, mislaid or abandoned.
Property is generally deemed to have been lost if it is found in a place where the true owner likely
did not intend to set it down, and where it is not likely to be found by the true owner. Property has
been mislaid or misplaced if it is found in a place where the true owner likely did intend to set it, but

taxi pay for the fare but as it occurred, they did not enter, leaving only Drobny and Levy where
neither of the two were able to pay for the taxi service. After having driven only a kilometre with the
meter indicating a debt of $7.90, the complainant became aware that the two passengers, Drobny

With any criminal offence there are two elements to the crime; the Mens Rea and the Actus Reus.
The Mens Rea element is the mental part of the crime and requires proof that the defendant was in a
guilty state of mind before the defendant can be convicted of a crime. There are three different types
of Mens Rea; direct and oblique intention, recklessness and negligence. Intention is differs from
motive or desire. For example if defendant kills their wife who is suffering from a terminal illness,
to relieve their suffering, may well act out of good motives. Nevertheless, this does not prevent them
having the necessary intention to kill. Cases which demonstrate intention include R v Moloney

Following the case R v Cunningham [1957] 2 QB 396, reckless was put into question if the
defendant foresee the harm that in fact occurred, might occur from his actions, but continue
regardless of the risk. There are two different types of tests for reckless, subjective test and objective
test. The difficulty with a subjective test is that it is based entirely on the defendant's state of mind
and it is for the prosecution to prove that the defendant did anticipate the potential of harm.
Negligence is consequences caused by the actions of a person that fell below the standard of a
reasonable person. Negligence plays a minor role in criminal liability. It used to form the basis of
some driving offences but this has largely been superseded by recklessness. Cases for negligence
include R v Adomako [1994] 3 WLR 288, where an anaesthetist was charged with gross negligence

The plaintiff must prove that there was negligence from the defendant's side, which resulted with the
injury and they are to be blamed. Negligence is generally a question of fact for the jury, and whether
a legal duty exists is something that needs to be solved within the court. In this case, what needs to
be determined is whether the City of Elsewhere and/or Officer Ruthless had a duty to Susie Marks
regarding to her riding in the camper of the truck, and if so, to then determine the actual cause of the
injuries to Susie. The actual cause refers to what really caused the injuries.
In the case of Susie Marks vs. City of Elsewhere, I would conclude that neither the City of
Elsewhere nor Officer Ruthless had a duty to Susie Marks in regards to getting in Jerry's truck
camper. Officer Ruthless' duty was to enforce the park curfew for safety regulations, so when
Officer Ruthless denied Susie the choice of walking he was acting upon his duty to enforce safety to
a civilian. The officer never asked Susie to do something illegal for his own benefit, and he was well
within his job duties to clear the park and send the minors home in legal terms. The actual cause of
the injuries happened when Jerry lost control of the wheel and the truck rolled over. There is no
physical evidence or facts, which clarifies who was at fault. What is determine and factual is the fact

Questions On The World Of International Business
In this paper we will be answering five critical questions in the world of international business. In
the business world companies must understand how to answer these critical questions. The first of
these questions is why are many governments in today's world liberalizing cross–border movements
of goods, services, and resources? Answering this question isn't just a one word answer; it requires a
breakdown of how governments go to market along with a host of other things. In today's global
market international business is even more vital to a governments' success than ever before. For
governments to compete in the global arena they will need a few things which will help move that
country forward when delivering goods and services. The ability to travel and communicate in the
foreign markets are just a couple of things that will greatly impact a country's ability to grow.
Technology is also one of the biggest pieces to the pie when it comes to a country's ability to expand
and grow. Cross–border movements and trades are big business for a country and with the rising
cost of goods and services around the world, cross–border movement and international trading has
become essential for countries to prosper. The internet has also helped with cross–border trading by
bridging the physical gap between countries. It has also sped up our ability to communicate with
other countries and people from all over the world in mere seconds. Governments today are
liberalizing

Case Analysis : The House Of Lords
Airedale26 case decided by the House of Lords, was followed in a number of cases in UK and it
was pointed out that in the cases of incompetent patients, if doctors act on the basis of informed
medical opinion, and withdraw the artificial life–support systems if it is in the patient 's best
interests, then they said action cannot be characterized as an offence under criminal law.

In another case, Ward of Court, Re A27, the ward born in 1950, suffered irreversible brain damage
as a result of anesthesia during 1972 and for several decades, the ward was invalid, the mother of
the child was appointed in 1994 by the Court to be guardian of person and estate of the child and in
1995 she sought directions from the Court for withdrawal of all artificial nutrition and hydration and
to give necessary directives as to the child 's care.
2.1.3 Euthanasia in case of Mental Patients
In re F (Mental Patient: Sterilization)28, the patient was not a minor, hence parens patriae

namely, the test of "best interest of the patient" was applied by Lord Brandon of Oakbrook. Here the

I am the attorney for the Petitioner in the above–referenced special proceeding, wherein Petitioner seeks an Order of Protection against his brother in law, Respondent Joza. 2. The Respondent has moved herein for an order pursuant to CPLR §3211(a)(7) dismissing the Petitioner's family offense petition and requests that this Court vacate the Temporary Order of Protection issued in conjunction therewith. For the reasons that follow, the Respondent's motion must be dismissed. 3. In essence, Respondent is seeking amplification of the pleadings, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The facts as taken as true and all reasonable inferences that flow therefrom establish that a course of conduct was taken by Respondent against Petitioner. 9. In People v Pugash, 179 Misc2d 819 (S. Ct. Appellate Term, 2d Dept 1999) the Court held that three telephone calls from the defendant to the victim was sufficient to establish a course of conduct as required by Penal Law § 240.26. 10. Case law suggests that an isolated incident is insufficient to make a prima facie showing of harassment, but does not establish a bright line rule about the quantity of incidents that constitute a course of conduct. In this case, the petition alleges several text messages and fully describes at least two of them. This is sufficient to establish a course of conduct. 11. For an intentional crime, the perpetrator must engage in conduct with the conscious objective and purpose of causing a particular unlawful result. People v Atkinson, 21 AD3d 145 (2d Dept 2005).

  • 2. Maria Ordered Supplies From Ftc Enterprises 11. Maria ordered supplies from FTC enterprises. Bob, the owner of FTC enterprises, sent a credit application form to Maria. A couple of days later, Maria sent back the credit application with a signature that appeared to be under her name. Bob shipped the supplies thereafter awaiting Maria's payments which never came. Bob later sued Maria for payment collection, but Maria denied ever signing the paperwork and claimed that all credit documents were referred to her receptionist. Is Maria liable? In this case Maria is considered as a disclosed principal and Maria's receptionist is her agent. A disclosed principal is defined as a principal whose identity is known by a third party (Clarkson, 2015, p 644). FTC being the third party in this situation, recognizes Maria as a principal and recognized her receptionist as an extension of Maria's authority. By referring credit documents and inquiries to her receptionist, Maria is granting her receptionist implied authority to process credit documents on her behalf (Clarkson, 2015, p. 643). Therefore, Maria will be held liable regardless of whether or not she was aware of her receptionist's actions. 12. Tiffany hires Tim to drive her car for business purposes.

INJUNCTIONS In the first place, that the members are entitled to hold a registered company to its registered objects has been recognized long since. Hence whenever an ultra vires act has been or is about to be undertaken, any member of the company can get an injunction to restrain it from proceeding with it. In this case the House of Lords observed that the doctrine of ultra vires, as it was explained in the Ashbury's case, should be maintained. But it ought to be reasonably and not unreasonably understood and applied and that whatever may fairly be regarded as incidental to the objects authorized ought not to be held ultra vires, unless it is expressly prohibited. Accordingly in London County Council V Attorney General , the council having statutory power to work tramways was restrained from running omnibus in connection with tramways. The court found that the omnibus business was in no way incidental to the business of working tramways, and therefore, could not be undertaken although it might have materially contributed to the ...

  • 4. The Case Of Harvey And Capability Limited The Case of Harvey and Capability Limited Before analysing, Harvey needs to be advised that there are two known clauses that exist in a contract; limitation clause and exclusion clause. He needs to understand that there is a difference between both of these clauses. When there is a breach of the contract, the limitation clause that is relied on in a contract and enforced would make an effort to pay for certain damages. This can only be used as an indicator for Harvey to recognise their differences, but, it will not be explained any further as the enquiry made is only related to exclusion clause. Capability Limited is a private limited company that has subcontracted a sole proprietor, Reckless Enterprise. As the damages were done by Reckless Enterprise, with the matter of who is liable to pay for it, the court needs to look deep into the consequences of Capability Limited and how Reckless Enterprise was included in the Memorandum as a third party. Exclusion Clauses If the contract is breached, the party relying on the exclusion clauses will not be responsible for paying for any damages (Treitel, 1995). If the document does not have any intention for the contract, exclusion clause will not be bound. As it can only be defined in this manner, Harvey also has to ...

In L'Estrange v Graucob, the claimant purchased a cigarette vending machine and signed the order without reading the clause. She sued the defendants as it did not work but the court argues that, once signed, she was automatically bound by the clause regardless of whether she read it or not.

Contract Analysis In any contract there are legal and spiritual ramifications that must be taken into account, and this situation has several legal and spiritual factors.

  • 6. Elements Of Contracts Act 1950 Introduction In Malaysia, all contracts formed are bounded and enforced by the Contracts act 1950. The conditions stated in all contracts must be certain and definite. This is crucial to every contract formed because it would be biased for a court to determine the performance of a contract based on the ambiguity or error of the contract. There are six elements that must be present when forming a contract, being; Offer, Acceptance, Consideration, Intention to create legal relations, Capacity to contract, and Certainty. For this assignment, let's focus on the capacity to contract and critically discuss of the fairness of this element of Contracts act 1950. In a very general term, everybody has the capacity to contract. Section 11 of the Contracts Act 1950 states that "Every person is competent to contract, who is of age of majority according to the law which he is subject , and who is of sound mind, and is not disqualified from contracting by any law to which he is subject"(Section 11 of Malaysian Contracts Act, 1950).

Tolman Sr. alleges that Grenier did not properly handle the sale of his property, 175 Central Street, Georgetown, MA. During the sale Tolman alleges that Grenier was deceitful, unethical, and fraudulent. Additionally, he asserts that he did not receive his entire case file, including properly executed paperwork required for taxes, and that Grenier "continued to run up legal bills and stalled me with no action." Grenier has allegedly violated Mass.R.Prof.C. 1.1, 1.2, 1.4(a)&(b), 1.16(d), and 8.4(c). FACTS In 2003, Tolman Sr. retained Grenier to assist in the sale of his property located at 175 Central Street, Georgetown, MA.

However, in our state legislatures, if the son allowed 30 days to pass by after his 18th birthday, the legal majority age, the contract is then ratified. The contract was only shown to the owners after I have threatened litigation. Legal Issues: The legal issues that are present are: breach of contract caused by the family owned produce, the validity of the contract signed by a minor, and the authorization that minor possessed in relation to the company. The family owned produced breached their duty of care to me by trying to renege on the newly formed obligations between my store and them. By attempting to drop me from their clientele, they have not performed the promised agreements to which the son signed to. Another legal issue is the validity of the contract that was signed by a minor. As mentioned previously, if ever a signing party or parties were under the legal majority age (18 years old), that party has the right to withdraw from their obligations prior to 30 days after their 18th birthday. If the son had of done this, I would not have seek out any litigious actions against the family owned produce. By withdrawing before this time frame, no legal agency or entity will see any grounds for me having the right of recovering any damages made by their actions.

The main purpose of bank guarantee is to provide incentive to creditor to take risks. It protects the beneficiary in case of non–performance without requirement of any legal actions. When a bank guarantees on behalf of its client, it assures the other party of financial stability of the client, which would enable both parties to carry out their business without fear of any delay or non–performance. It also allows the party, at whose instance, it was given, to earn interest on the amount while it is kept safe and secure in the bank as a guarantee. Generally, a bank guarantee is used in international trade, where parties do not know each other or law in each other's country as it saves them from any risk in case of non–performance or legal disputes. The bank guarantees are broadly divided into two categories; Financial Guarantees and performance guarantees. A guarantee which is issued in lieu of monetary consideration is called a financial bank guarantee whereas a guarantee, which is issued in respect of performance of a contractual obligation is known as a performance bank guarantee.

"A private CERCLA recovery action may be brought against any liable party regardless of whether the federal government has initiated either clean up or a cost recovery action of its own. Parties that settle with the government however are not liable for contribution." (Dybdahl, 2009). As noted in section 107 of CERCLA there are four classes of persons liable. These persons are present and former owners, operators, generators, and transporters. Persons who fall into these categories may be held jointly and severally liable. Current owners face harsh liability because they are liable even if they did not own the site at the time of disposal. CERCLA however provides a defense if the release and damages were wholly caused by an act of omission of a third party other than one whose act or omission occurred in connection with a contractual relation with the defendant. This was later amended by CERCLA in 1986 due to the term "contractual relationship" because thus arguably includes transfers of lands.

  • 15. The Effects Of Psychological Techniques On Innocent... FALSE CONFESSIONS The majority of people find it hard to believe that an individual who is innocent would confess to a serious crime that they did not commit. However, empirical data has now revealed that many innocent defendants have been convicted on the basis of their false confessions (White, 2003). The following section will analyze false confessions and how they happen. This section will examine the characteristics of a defendant that may alter a confession, and then go on to looking at the circumstances of the interrogation. In the majority of false confession cases, police did not extract the confession by employing torture techniques. However, the effects of psychological techniques on innocent defendants may have been underestimated in the past. There are many contributing factors that lead to the admission of false confessions. The system must consider these factors when determining if a confession is legitimate. Mental health is one of the major factors one must consider when looking at a confession. Mentally handicapped defendants are far more susceptible to respond to suggestive police interrogations with false confessions (White, 2003). To provide an adequate defense, a lawyer should access a defendant's IQ and determine weather there is a possibility that the defendant may have a mental disability.

It will then move on to consider C's position in a similar fashion. Finally, it will conclude with a critical examination of some of the legal principles applied. Brenda's Interest B's equitable interest is generated from her contribution to the purchase price of Y through the creation of a trust in the property. Such an interest was previously classified in the Land Registration Act 1995 as a 'minor interest', and ought to be registered in the proprietorship register of Y's title as restriction on the proprietorship register, in accordance with s. 40 – 47 of the Land Registration Act 2002 to facilitate overreaching. According to s. 2(2) of the Law of Property Act 1925, overreaching can only occur when the purchaser, during a registered disposition of land, deals with two or more trustees – the equitable interests of the beneficiaries under the trust would then be swept off the land, and included in the purchase price of the property. On the facts, because Y is held on trust exclusively by A, D would have only dealt with one trustee during the transaction. This would mean that the doctrine of overreaching does not apply with respect to B's equitable interests.

Signs were located throughout the parking lot which stated that the lot closed at 6 o'clock p.m. and that anyone returning after that time could pick up their keys at another parking lot operated by the defendant at a another location.

Once the purpose of the bailment has been completed, the bailee usually must return the property to the bailor, or account for it, depending upon the terms of the contract. Legal liability usually takes the form of monetary damages to compensate for the breach of the legal duty. A requisite to the creation of a bailment is the express or implied acceptance of possession or control over the property by the bailee. A person cannot unwittingly become a bailee. Because a bailment is a contract, knowledge and acceptance of its terms are essential to its enforcement. (Cheeseman, 2010) Had the parking garage been closed when the plaintiff left his car, there would be no bailment created.

Around the time of 5am, an intoxicated Steve Drobny and Nathan Levy entered the complainant's taxi. It was intended that others who were supposed to take the same taxi pay for the fare but as it occurred, they did not enter, leaving only Drobny and Levy where neither of the two were able to pay for the taxi service.

  • 34. Pros And Cons Rea Essay With any criminal offence there are two elements to the crime; the Mens Rea and the Actus Reus. The Mens Rea element is the mental part of the crime and requires proof that the defendant was in a guilty state of mind before the defendant can be convicted of a crime. There are three different types of Mens Rea; direct and oblique intention, recklessness and negligence. Intention is differs from motive or desire. For example if defendant kills their wife who is suffering from a terminal illness, to relieve their suffering, may well act out of good motives. Nevertheless, this does not prevent them having the necessary intention to kill. Cases which demonstrate intention include R v Moloney [1985] AC 905 and R v Inglis [2011] 1 WLR 1110. Direct ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Following the case R v Cunningham [1957] 2 QB 396, reckless was put into question if the defendant foresee the harm that in fact occurred, might occur from his actions, but continue regardless of the risk. There are two different types of tests for reckless, subjective test and objective test. The difficulty with a subjective test is that it is based entirely on the defendant's state of mind and it is for the prosecution to prove that the defendant did anticipate the potential of harm. Negligence is consequences caused by the actions of a person that fell below the standard of a reasonable person. Negligence plays a minor role in criminal liability. It used to form the basis of some driving offences but this has largely been superseded by recklessness. Cases for negligence include R v Adomako [1994] 3 WLR 288, where an anaesthetist was charged with gross negligence manslaughter after they failed to notice the oxygen pipe had been disconnected. An Actus Reus consists of more than just an act. It also consists of whatever circumstances and consequences are recognised for accountability for the offence in question, therefore all the elements of an offence other than the Mens ...

In removal cases, no defendant can be a citizen of the state in which the action is pending. Here, Arrows is incorporated in Delaware, and its principle place of business is in Texas. Whereas, Rast is domiciled in Massachusetts and the action filed against Arrows Corporation is for $100,000. Here, the plaintiff and defendant are from different states and the money sought is likely to exceed $75,000.

Venue refers to the proper judicial district in which to bring an action.

The plaintiff must prove that there was negligence from the defendant's side, which resulted with the injury and they are to be blamed. Negligence is generally a question of fact for the jury, and whether a legal duty exists is something that needs to be solved within the court. In this case, what needs to be determined is whether the City of Elsewhere and/or Officer Ruthless had a duty to Susie Marks regarding to her riding in the camper of the truck, and if so, to then determine the actual cause of the injuries to Susie. The actual cause refers to what really caused the injuries. In the case of Susie Marks vs. City of Elsewhere, I would conclude that neither the City of Elsewhere nor Officer Ruthless had a duty to Susie Marks in regards to getting in Jerry's truck camper. Officer Ruthless' duty was to enforce the park curfew for safety regulations, so when Officer Ruthless denied Susie the choice of walking he was acting upon his duty to enforce safety to a civilian. The officer never asked Susie to do something illegal for his own benefit, and he was well within his job duties to clear the park and send the minors home in legal terms. The actual cause of the injuries happened when Jerry lost control of the wheel and the truck rolled over. There is no physical evidence or facts, which clarifies who was at fault. What is determine and factual is the fact that the accident was not caused by Officer Ruthless or by him ordering Susie to ride in the camper. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
