joe why are you so smart?

c

Explain the rule of law

 

[goan_crazy]

tort is a civil wrong ie something done to the public by a large company or the council etc
property covers any misuse/damage to items owned by someone
and contract is a breach of an agreement between two people either verbal or non verbal.....
i think thats what it is anyways, oh wise one reveal your answers......

well done Tash. thats right
next question:
Which of the following is an example of tort law:
a) nusiance
b) defamation
c) both a and b
d) neither a or b

 

[roadcone]

the rule of law refers to the idea that the law should be known by all, applied equally in all situations, does not discriminate etc

next
explain natural justice

natural justice, or procedural fairness, gives people the right to be heard and decisions made regarding their future without bias. Byrne v Australian Airlines (1994) is an example of where natural justice was denied in term of dismissal without being allowed to put forward an argument to his employer. in essence the doctrine can be defined as the rules of 'fairplay'.


what are the main influences on the law?

this site is so trippy these days

next question: what is natural law? [ppl get this 1 confused w natural justice...]

yeah it results in some abstract interpretation being needed on some days..

umm natural law (i think) is where govts are answerable to a higher authority. that is the concept that citizens can complain above their national govt, to the UN for example. natural law provided the first protection of human rights.


02 Independent a) Outline what is meant by the notion of individual and collective HR.

 

[roadcone]

yeah basically natural law developed from higher power or reasonings... It is said to have come from "the gods"

anyway in response to your question:
collective human rights are those HRs which apply to a group of people such as the collective right to self determination and individual rights are those that apply to individuals of a nation state e.g. the right to work, the right to a fair trial

next question: What is the difference between civil and political rights and economic social and cultural rights?

CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS: - rights which protect the individual from the extreme exercising of power by the state. examples are free speech, fair trial, freedom from slavery

ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS: - rights that oblige the govt to become more involved in citizens rights in order to achive a better daily life. examples are right to education, equal pay for equal work, health

Name the four ways in which HR can be enforced internationally.

CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS: 1st generation
ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS: 2nd generation

in response 2 ur q:
Name the four ways in which HR can be enforced internationally.
through treaties, convenants such as CROC, declarations such as the UDHR, the international court of justice, Amnesty international etc
think thats 4

next question: What is state sovereignity and give a disadvantage of it.

 

[lil mon]

State Sovereignity is the right of a nation state to make their own laws and govern their countries without interference from other nation states. A disadvatage of this is that human rights can be ignored because the state has more power than the individual.
As a recent fan of this thread, i shall point out that this question has been asked atleast 3 times...... and no i dont have a tally going.

okies next question: name two cases that deal with a breach of human rights, one domestic and one international.

QUESTION: Outline for and against argument for the possiblity of a bill of rights

 

[Hexamarillion]

QUESTION: Outline for and against argument for the possiblity of a bill of rights

For: will regulate and standardise human rights, making them domestically enforceable which they are not under international law.

Against: basic human rights protection already provided by legislation/noninterference etc and a document may be flawed by its interpretative nature.



QUESTION: What are possible outcomes in successful civil and criminal court cases?

 

[=)lisa]

QUESTION: What are possible outcomes in successful civil and criminal court cases?

umm...
civil - Plaintiff proves on the balance of probabilities that Mr X was in the wrong, therefore wins a compensation pay out (or something) for his client.

criminal - serial killer gets life in prison. safety for society!!!

my question:::: what are the principles of equity? what is equity? (lol, seriously, i dont know)

my question:::: what are the principles of equity? what is equity? (lol, seriously, i dont know)

Well, I may be wrong, but i think equity is an old, old wooden ship from the Civil war era...

Not really, and I'm serious now, I think its having the ability to appeal and try and get a lighter sentence. Meaning it is the assurance of a just and fair decision. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

OK, my question is:
Name a current human rights issue and how has the law tried to deal with it (any type of law)

 

[hellvis]

also, a just law has F.R.E.E.A

Fairness
human Rights
Equity
Equality
Accessibility



to be effective for the individual it is P.E.A.R.E
Protection and recognition of individual rights
Equality
Accessibility
Resource Efficiency
Enforceability

to be effective for society it is L.O.R.B
Law as a reflection of community standards
Opportunities for enforcement, appeal and review
Resource Efficiency
Balance between the interests of the individual and community
