...1. What are the main sources of Scots Business Law? A: The main sources of Business Law are UK Parliament (West Minister), European Parliament and Scots Legislation. Also, the others are Judicial Precedent, Institutional Writers and Custom. 2. Judicial Precedent is Superior to Statutory Law. Do you agree with this statement? A: I disagree; the judicial precedent is formed from a case law, it’s known to be the most important source in common law. A law which is implemented by the judges from a case outcome, if the case law from past outcomes is regularly used in future cases in court, then it is foreseen as ‘in active use’ by the court, therefore, the law is presented to the Superior | Common Court for proceedings. A Statutory Law is the Highest of all binding laws, and this law is made by Parliament in Superior Courts. A Judicial Precedent law is made in Common Court | Superior Court, the Superior Court has higher authority over the common court. 3. Give an example of Judicial Precedent? A: My example for Judicial Precedent Law is the (1932) Donogue V Steveson case. 4. Which is superior Legislative Body: The Westminster Parliament or The Scottish Parliament?

The legislations are then stated as statutory Laws. So, against Scottish Parliament, Westminster Parliament is the more Superior...

...Appellant, Aztec Petroleum Corp., appeals from a summary judgment in favor of appellee, MHM Company, which removed Aztec as general partner in a limited partnership and substituted MHM as general partner. In two points of error, Aztec contends that the trial court erred in denying its motion for summary judgment and in granting MHM's motion for summary judgment because neither Aztec nor all of the limited partners consented to the removal of Aztec and substitution of MHM as general partner and, therefore, the removal and substitution are invalid as a matter of law. We conclude that the partnership agreement of Aztec 80-A, Ltd., as thereafter amended, permits the removal of Aztec and substitution of MHM as general partner as a matter of law. Accordingly, we affirm. The facts are undisputed. The controversy centers on section 11.12 of the partnership agreement. Section 11.12 states: Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner, or by the holders of 10% or more of the Units, by submission of a written proposal to the General Partner. Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit to the Limited Partners, by notice in accordance with Section 11.1 of this Agreement, a verbatim statement of the proposed amendment, and when the General Partner deems it appropriate, an opinion of counsel as to the legality of such proposed amendment, and its recommendation with respect to the proposed amendment. Except as otherwise expressly provided...

...society would just look closer, they would see a world of good being done and a countless amount of juveniles being rehabilitated for good. Getting informed on how the Juvenile System works, hearing testimony from the people on the inside of the justice system, as well as specific citing from a former criminal and learning about the “scared straight” program will make it evident that rehabilitation works. It is important to know as much as possible about the Juvenile System. In order to make a decision on if the system is effective, it is imperative to know how the system works and what the goals of the system are. Following the arrest of a juvenile offender, a law enforcement officer has the discretion to release the juvenile to his or her parents, or take the offender to juvenile hall.(LAO) The county probation department has the discretion to accept the offender or not, in which case, the disposition of the juvenile is left to the police. Because most of the state’s juvenile halls are overcrowded, juvenile halls may only accept the most violent offenders.(LAO) This leaves all the rest of the offenders at the mercy of the court for ruling on how to discipline the juvenile. California’s juvenile system has specific goals for their justice system. The goal is the treatment and rehabilitation of...
