During the case Devart and his parents Robert and Virginia ended up using aliases by the names of John Doe, Jane Doe and son D.D. Doe as a deterrent from the public so the family would not endure any additional embarrassment, slander, and/or liable regarding the son’s handicap. The defendants of this case were

The influx of inmates in the late 1970s through 1980s led to unsustainable prions condition that violated inmate’s rights granted by the Eight Amendment. As the budgets were being exhausted, transpired the issues of inmate’s poor medical treatment, abusive physical security, and unsuitable physical conditions (Newman and Scott 2013, 547). In the 1976 case of Estelle v. Gamble, the Supreme Court of the United States “established that an inmate's Eighth Amendment rights were violated if prison personnel demonstrated “deliberate indifference” to a prisoner's “serious illness or injury” (Newsman and Scott 2012, 548). The increased volume of filed lawsuits led to the passing of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, which “ targeted frivolous lawsuits by limiting waivers for the requirement that inmates pay filing fees,

The Law Enforcement Powers and Responsibilities Act 2002 (NSW) (commonly abbreviated as LEPRA), is a piece of legislation which was introduced into the State of New South Wales in response to the Wood Royal Commission enquiry into NSW Police. The Commission identified that there was a strong reliance on the common law in relation to the powers of law enforcement officers, and recommended that there was enough desirability to have these powers (and as a consequence the rights of ordinary citizens) more clearly defined via statute to protect both parties interests . These recommendations were made in an effort to better achieve social justice, and to ensure that there was a sufficient balance between what the police can legally do, and what

Undoubtedly, this had an impact on the school system. Timelines are strictly tracked to ensure compliance. According to DiNapoli and Bleiwas (2008), there are almost 170 different languages spoken in New York.

As I read through Chapter 2, it is easy to see that legislation over the years has impacted my education in some way, shape, or form. There were a couple of points and legislations that stuck out to me in this reading assignment. First, I can see how the establishment of the Parent-Teacher Association in 1897 made a positive impact in my educational experience. My parents were always really involved and supportive of various school activities, whether that was through my mom being a helper in my elementary classrooms or both of my parents being members of the Booster Club when I was in high school. I think this helped show me how important education really was and led to unending support from them. Second, there are several “newer trends” that

The test of reasonable foreseeability can be seen from the case Ultramares Corp v Touche, Niven & Co 174 NE 441 (1931), in which the defendants were negligent while auditing a company. The said company then went on to borrow money on the basis that its accounts were correct. The lender upon learning that the accounts were wrong filed a suit against the company and the auditor and the court had to decide who was liable to the lender. The court decided that the defendant was not liable as any person who read the report can then file a complaint against him leading to unlimited liability. Peter should have foreseen that his negligent action would cause a traffic jam affecting the other road users. Just as in this case, Peter is not responsible for Sam’s loss as anyone stuck in the traffic jam and affected by the traffic jam could then file suit against Peter and find him responsible to an unlimited number of liabilities.

In order to successfully raise a complaint, the victim is required to directly contact the agency with the complaint. The agency must make a reasonable attempt to resolve the complaint. If the victim is still not satisfied with the efforts or if they do not wish to contact the agency at all in regards to the complaint, then they are able to make the complaint at Victim rights and complaints.

“Liabilities are debts: money you owe. Every business carries some liabilities—for example, ongoing payments to suppliers, rent for your office, compensation to employees, or fees for contractors” (Mancuso, 2014). Added liabilities may result if a business is ravaged by a fire or flood or if the business owner(s) become the victim of a lawsuit—for example, a patron, client or customer decides to sue your company after hurting themselves on company property. It is the intent of this paper to examine the role and responsibility of liability in different types of businesses from sole proprietorships to
