Napoleon codified inheritance laws in France and other European countries, including "forced heirship" rules requiring portions of estates to go to designated heirs. New EU rules now allow individuals to opt out of forced heirship laws and choose the inheritance laws of their nationality or last residence. While the UK opted out, British citizens with assets in other EU countries should review their wills to avoid conflicts between UK and EU inheritance laws and ensure their assets go to intended heirs. Specialist legal advice is recommended for those with cross-border estates.
The document discusses key aspects of contract law under the Indian Contract Act of 1872. It defines a contract as an agreement that is enforceable by law. For an agreement to be considered a contract and enforceable, it must meet conditions like offer and acceptance, lawful consideration, capacity and consent of parties. Not all agreements are contracts - only those satisfying the requirements of Section 10 of the Act, such as being made freely with lawful object, become valid and enforceable contracts. Others that fail these tests are void agreements not enforceable by law.
The UK government plans to relax rules around evicting illegal immigrant tenants. Landlords will be able to evict tenants directly after receiving notice from the Home Office that a tenant's immigration status is illegal, without going through lengthy court proceedings. This change stems from 2014 legislation requiring landlords to verify tenant immigration status. The government hopes these measures will discourage illegal immigrants from renting properties in the UK. However, questions remain around where evicted tenants will go, as homeless shelters cannot accommodate them under the new rules.
The document summarizes several upcoming changes to UK housing law under the Localism Bill and other acts. Key changes include:
1) Local authorities will have more flexibility to determine housing tenure and allocations policies, including offering 2-year fixed term tenancies.
2) A national home swap scheme will be established to help tenants exchange properties and support mobility.
3) Local authorities will be able to discharge their homelessness duties by offering private rented housing.
4) Reforms aim to help address overcrowding and encourage tenants to downsize through underoccupation incentives.
1. The land regime in Kenya has long been plagued by uncertainty and inconsistencies due to problematic land laws inherited from colonial powers. 2. Recent laws like the Land Act of 2012, National Land Commission Act of 2012, and Land Registration Act of 2012 aimed to reform land administration by consolidating laws and recognizing traditional practices. 3. The new laws established the National Land Commission and repealed previous acts, but concerns remain about lack of clarity and haste in passing the laws.
SB 179 aims to reform landlord/tenant regulations in Wisconsin to protect the rights of both landlords and tenants. It provides several improvements, such as limiting a tenant's financial responsibility to damages stated in their original agreement. It also requires landlords to disclose any written housing code violation notices to prospective tenants. Additionally, the bill provides new protections for domestic violence victims living with perpetrators of crimes on rental properties.

Over time, laws were passed to ensure bail was not excessive and applied fairly regardless of wealth. The Bail Reform Act of 1966 aimed to prevent those who could not afford bail from spending months in jail before trial. However, it had a loophole that allowed dangerous criminals to be released. This led to the New Bail Law of 1984, which allows pretrial detention of those deemed a risk to public safety.

Tenants of Foreclosed Properties Have Rightswsunter
The document discusses tenants' rights in foreclosure proceedings. It outlines the Protecting Tenants in Foreclosure Act, which states that a purchaser of a foreclosed property takes ownership subject to any leases signed before notice of foreclosure. This protects tenants by allowing their leases to remain valid after the property changes hands in foreclosure. There are two exceptions: if the new owner will occupy it as a primary residence, or if there was no lease. Even then, 90 days notice must be given. To benefit from these protections, a lease must be a bona fide arm's length transaction without involvement of the foreclosed owner or below market rent. The document advises tenants to obtain legal counsel if issues arise

The document summarizes the historical development of bankruptcy law from medieval England to modern times. It discusses key developments including:
1) The first English bankruptcy statute passed in 1542 under King Henry VIII to deal with fraudulent traders and secure property for creditors. Debtors remained liable for debts.
2) Early bankruptcy law only applied to traders and provided no relief for debtors. Reforms were piecemeal and punishment of debtors continued.
3) In the 18th-19th centuries, a distinction emerged between dishonest and honest but unfortunate debtors. The 1869 Act provided relief for both traders and non-traders, freed bankrupts from debts, and established administration of bankruptcy.

The UK government has released a consultation document and draft legislation to further develop proposals for reforming the taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals (non-doms) originally announced in 2015. The proposals include deeming long-term UK residents and those with strong UK connections as domiciled in the UK for tax purposes from April 2017. The draft legislation provides rules for income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax treatment of these "deemed domiciled" individuals and includes some transitional reliefs. It also seeks views on expanding business investment incentives to encourage greater investment in UK businesses from non-doms. Affected individuals will need to review how these changes impact their personal and family financial situations and any offshore structures.

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.

The uk law that protects owners and their properties against squatters
1. The UK Law that
Protects Owners and
their Properties
Against Squatters
MS Webb & Co.
2. The UK government has enforced an anti-squatting law to curb the increase of squatters taking over residential and
commercial properties.
Before the implementation of the law, organized squatter groups were said to exploit legal loopholes to take possession of
empty buildings around the nation. With the new law criminalising squatting, ministers said the government would slam
the door shut on squatters for the last time.
What the Law Enforces
Homeowners looking to maximise the law may simply complain to the police, who need to prove that the claim is genuine
before taking action and arresting the culprits. The police need to prove that the alleged squatters consciously entered a
building as a trespasser with the intention of living in it.
The law, however, does not recognise those who fall behind with their rent as offenders. It also doesn’t cover those who
remain in a property at the end of a tenancy or lease.
3. The law protects those who own vacant residential properties, such as landlords, second-home owners, and local
authorities. Those who break the law will be subject to a £5,000 fine, six months in jail or both.
Squatters’ Rights No Longer Applicable
When the law was implemented in 2012, Housing Minister Grant Shapps said the so-called squatter rights would no longer
be applicable. He said, "No longer will there be so-called squatters' rights. Instead, from next week, we're tipping the
scales of justice back in favour of the homeowner and making the law crystal clear: entering a property with the intention
of squatting will be a criminal offence."
He added: "For too long, hardworking people have faced long legal battles to get their homes back from squatters, and
repair bills reaching into the thousands when they finally leave.”
After Section 144 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (s144 LASPOA) came into effect in
September 2012, there have been at least 738 arrests, 326 prosecutions, 260 convictions and 11 people imprisoned for the
offence, based on available data.
