Chapter 9 – Deeds of Company Arrangement Example problem Sheilabeerite Skip Pty Ltd was a waste removal company whose directors appointed Ben as their administrator. The second meeting of creditors in June has agreed to a DoCA of nine months’ duration with Ben as deed administrator. The DoCA proposes to sell some collection areas in which the company operated but that were considered unprofitable. This would mean reducing the current workforce by four drivers. It also proposes that the company move to a service contract with each of its customers and drop the casual one-off service it offered to anyone who rang or otherwise approached the company. The DoCA contained a clause that employees would discount their long service leave entitlements by 50 percent in an attempt to assist the restructure. Ben has had no experience administering a DoCA with such a clause and he is uncertain of the expectations of him as administrator. Another clause in the DoCA provides that unsecured creditors will be paid proportionately over the nine months. Creditors such as the fuel suppliers are wary of continuing to supply Sheilabeerite Skip Pty Ltd, fearing that a company in its situation is a bad credit risk. To overcome this Ben proposes to apply to the court under s 447A(1) to seek permission for the company to delete the phrase, ‘subject...

... The Compromise of 1850 (docF) states that slavery is illegal in the territory acquired from Mexico, District of Columbia, and Maryland. It also reiterates the idea of slaves being seen as property and not people. This is a direct contradiction of the ⅗ Compromise (docB) created previously by the federal government, which seen slaves as being ⅗ of a person. However, the Compromise of 1850 also correlates with the Supreme Court ruling in the Dred Scott case (docI). The Dred Scott case states that slaves couldn’t have a supreme court case because they weren’t even people. The Compromise of 1850 also states that slave owners have the right to retrieve their fugitive slaves from the free states, which correlates with the Northwest Ordinance (docA). The Kansas-Nebraska Act (docG) repealed the Missouri Compromise. Their motives for doing such was they felt that it was a state issue and the people should conduct the decision. According to document H Abraham Lincoln, agreed that states should have the decision of whether slavery should be legal. In the document he also questions a “white man’s” authority on deciding who becomes a slave and the politician's “self-interest: in the matter. In conclusion, the U.S. government in many ways contradicted themselves with decisions made in efforts of regulating slavery. The biggest complication was that the decisions the government was making were for selfish reasons and promoted sectionalism. The issue of slavery would not be completely resolved...

...what he knew was right, and many more. And if you look real closely, he showed a bit of the ability to think ahead, see the bigger picture, showing that he knew that secession would result in Texas being drug into a Civil War he knew they would loose, showing a concern for others as well.This heroic decision showed all the Heroic qualities that Sam Houston had, making this decision, without a doubt, the most heroic decision he made. Houston held many positions of leadership for almost thirty years in Texas. His decisions as leader were often heroic. As the General of the Texas Army, Sam Houston made the unpopular decision to not go and aid William B. Travis and his men during the Siege of the Alamo, despite their continuous pleas for help. (DocA) At first glance this decision may not seem heroic at all but Sam Houston showed many of heroic traits. He showed, tactical intelligence, the courage to speak his mind, and a concern for others. But, even though this decision was heroic, it did not show all of the heroic traits he had. It is the same for the other decisions he made as well. None of them showed as many heroic traits as his decision to stand against secession. When he was the Governor of Texas Sam Houston made the unpopular decision to not sign the document of loyalty to the Confederacy to secede, and voted to stay loyal to the Union, or to preserve it, showing all qualities of a hero. Intelligence, loyalty, the ability to think ahead. Caution, good judgement, patriotism, and...

...to overcome the obstacle of forcefully removing the Indians from a land with minimal space leaving the rest for agriculture and plantations, causing the United States and Prosper. As the Indians were being forced onto small land it was clearly shown the desire and determination the Americans had to force the Indians out. Without warning the Native Americans became gullible until finding out of what Americans intent was. When Tecumseh gave a speech to the osage as they were desperate to reveal towards the English Tecumseh stated, “The white men are not friends to the Indians: at first, they only asked for land sufficient for a wigwam; now, nothing will satisfy them but the whole of our hunting grounds, from the rising to the setting sun. “(docA).At this state, the Indians are enraged from the lies that the Americans have done overthrowing what once was the Native Americans land. The motive for Americans was prominent as they visioned success in the near future, ignoring what was occurring to the Native Americans. From the beginning of the economic policies, the effort and creation for all these treaties and assimilation attempts that the US settlers created were merely for more fertile land to become a sovereign nation overpowering native Americans, showing economic policies have been a continuation. In contrast, when the Cherokee nation was flourishing, advancing in agriculture, starting to become accepted into the society. Their formidable effort was evident by the Native Americans...

In 1979, Raul Doca Street, murdered his lover when she wanted to end the relationship. 1981 a famous Brazilian, Lindomar Castilho, shot his wife and her cousin, thought to be lover. In both cases the judge sentenced each man to merely 2 years in prison on the defense of “violent emotion.” Both cases were appealed and due to the protest of women groups they got 15 and 12 years respectfully.[1] The election of a civilian president in 1985 and the creation of the New Brazilian Republic was suppose to lead to better reform for the rights of women.

Production and marketing professionals from eight wineries hosted our student group and provided facility tours and insights on production, marketing, and exporting.

The paper concludes with marketing recommendations relevant to new world (USA, Canada, and Australia) markets. History First, a brief introduction to Spain’s wine history is provided to differentiate Spain from its global competitors and set the context for further analysis. As an “old world” wine culture, Spain has a rich wine history beginning with Phoenician tribes and industrious Romans. Unfortunately, Spain’s nascent wine industry was disrupted due to Islamic rule followed by civil and global wars. In the late 1800’s, French winemakers revolutionized Spain’s weak wine industry. France’s Phylloxera tragedy brought an exodus of French winemakers over the Pyrenees seeking work. By the time Phylloxera reached Spain, viticulturists where already grafting native vines onto American...
