The Statute of Frauds is also designed to confirm that, for specific types of contracts, there is dependable evidence of the contract and its terms (Miller & Jentz, 2010, p. 209). In this case, although Charter offered Ken a 10% commission “for the rest of his life”, and promise that he would not be fired unless he was dishonest, it was not put in writing. There are certain types of contracts that are required to be in writing they are: 1. Contracts that have an interest in land. Land is a type of real estate, or real property, which involves more than the land it also includes the entire physical objects that are permanently attached to the earth, for instance, the buildings, plants, trees, and the soil itself (Miller & Jentz, 2010, p. 209).
What constitutes sufficient consideration, however, has been the subject of continuing legal debate. Contracts and courts generally use the term valuable consideration to signify consideration sufficient to sustain an enforceable agreement. In general, consideration consists of a promise to perform a desired act or a promise to refrain from doing an act that one is legally entitled to do. Thus, a person who seeks to enforce a promise must have paid or obligated herself to pay money, delivered goods, expended time and labour, or forgone some other profitable activity or legal right. For example, in a contract for the sale of goods the money paid is the valuable consideration
One challenge is that the employers must keep abreast of the changes related to federal employment law and develop individual policies accordingly. The employers must adhere to the laws in order to avoid law suits and put forth effective leadership. Employment relationships are considered to be a contract. As a result, serious consequences can arise if there are any violations of the contract. Another challenge is that there are many restrictions on the employer related to employment law.
Civil Liberties is one's freedom to exercise one's rights as guaranteed under the laws of the country. There are many ways in which the Supreme Court is good at protecting civil liberties and others that show they aren’t. I will be looking at the different ways to try and seek an answer as to whether the Supreme Court is effective at protecting civil liberties. The Supreme Court is a complicated organisation. It is different in many ways from the other branches of government, but there are still similarities and the same factors that affect all three branches equally.
Amy Tan Final Exam In “My Mother’s English” by writer Amy Tan, we learned that her perception on her mother’s English had evolved over-time. As a writer Amy Tan feels that language is her way or tool of getting a point across, she even uses “All the English she grew up with”, meaning the fractured English her mother taught her. Tan says, “It is the sort of English that is our language of Intimacy, the English that relates to family talk, and the English that I grew up with”. Tan’s main point is that even though her mother speaks what some would call broken English, to her it’s beautiful to other “English speakers” it is abnormal. I think that her mother has been labeled or stereotyped.
Initial rebellion and arguments against such laws will not last long and is a short term pain for a long term gain. Social integration is needed to follow after legal action. The public need to see who is being protected by the law, or else the acceptance of the law will happen slow. To encourage social integration, the media can be involved. Things like television advertisements during
In my setting I am a baby room supervisor and on one occasion we had a child that was under social services. My manager Mrs Smith informed me of this before the child started with us. She also give me some background information on the child, child A is the youngest of three girls and the girls are attending nursery as respite for mum. Mum has a drink problem and dad is a schizophrenic. We had to work closely with mum and we had regular contact with social services.
Substantive conceptions of the rule of law go beyond this and include certain substantive rights that are said to be based on, or derived from, the rule of law. The "formal" interpretation is more widespread than the "substantive" interpretation. Formalists hold that the law must be prospective, well-known, and have characteristics of generality, equality, and certainty. Other than that, the formal view contains no requirements as to the content of the law. This formal approach allows laws that protect democracy and individual rights, but recognizes the existence of "rule of law" in countries that do not necessarily have such laws protecting democracy or individual rights.
Therefore some cases, often those of importance but little media interest, can go unreported. In deciding whether they have to follow a previous decision, the judges must first decide whether the material facts of the cases are sufficiently similar. If the facts are materially different, the court may distinguish the case from the earlier case and so apply a different rule. To decide what the material facts are, the court must look for the general principle which the earlier judges used. This combination of the rule of law and the material facts is known as the ratio decidendi.
This originally all comes from biased perspectives. In communities where women are generally not considered viable wage earners, families often view daughters as an economic burden. Therefore, in the case of impoverished parents, they may decide to betroth a daughter early to ease the financial load of caring for a child. A bias could lead one to accept or deny the truth of a claim, not on the basis of the strength of the arguments in support of the claim, but through the extent of the claim's correspondence with one's own preconceived ideas. The confirmation bias here, has to do with the families that will engage their young daughters to marry older men to correspond to their ethical ideas that they behold.
