    Property offences

    Generally you need to ensure that the original owner still had posession. So consent established means there is no larceny - it was very unfair. Which is why the Crimes Act can hold you liable for fraudulently obtaining goods. Obtaining by false promise of pretences is still a crime and I would...

    The Drug Court

    I am actually writing a research report on it now for uni. It is a problem-solving court. It is faced with a problem (drug-use) and tries to solve the problem using a treatment programme. It is also only a sentencing court. Courts refer an offender to the Drug Court and an assessment is made...

    Limits to Judicial Discretion

    Extract from one of my essays on judicial discretion: ...Discretion can challenge fairness producing different outcomes, the law simply providing a means to make a decision, yet does not entirely regulate that process, hence ‘where law ends, discretion begins.’ Goodrich also argues that...

    quick question

    You are mostly correct. However you don't purchase goods off a manufacturer. You buy them from a retailer who got them from a wholesaler, etc... There are about 3 or 4 parties involved. Privity if it was not affected by the TPA would prevent a contracts claim. Otherwise, great explanation!

    What do employers think of UWS?
