...ASSESSMENT NAME: MEMORANDUM OF ADVICE STUDENT ID: xxxxxxx WORD COUNT: 2745 MEMORANDUM OF ADVICE TO: Ms Mary Elizabeth Braddon FROM: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx RE: Mr Kevin Hock- Unlawful Discrimination Based on Political Conviction DATE: 26 April 2015 I QUESTION PRESENTED Are the events as described by Mr Kevin Hock adequate grounds to pursue civil action against The Canberra Cycling Club under the Discrimination Act (ACT)? II SHORT ANSWER Under section 22 of the Discrimination Act (ACT), it could be circumstantially demonstrated that The Canberra Cycling Club committed an unlawful act of discrimination based on the political conviction of Mr Hock. However, there are limitations as to what action Mr Hock could pursue as detailed in the Discrimination Act (ACT) sections 71 and 72. In order for Mr Hock to be awarded damages, a judgement from the Tribunal would be required that the action was unlawful discrimination based on political conviction that is substantiated by the evidence presented. It would further have to be demonstrated that Mr Hock had been treated in a manner that was inconsistent with a manner in which other members of the club based on his political conviction. This is a point which cannot be adequately demonstrated on the balance of probabilities by the statement of facts provided. III STATEMENT OF RELEVANT FACTS The statement of relevant facts relating to Mr Hock’s claim of discrimination are: * Mr Hock has been an active member of the Canberra Cycling...

...MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: Keith Roberts case- PTSD and Fraudulent Disability Claims DATE: Question Presented Is eyewitness testimony able to provide evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of intent to defraud the Government through a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) even though essentially it is one mans word against another’s? Short Answer Yes. Evidence from the accident report of the incident in question and interviews with the people recorded to be present in the accident report show that the defendant made false claims to receive compensation benefits. Statement of Facts In February 1994, Mr. Keith Roberts filed his first request for compensation benefits resultant of a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which stemmed from an incident that occurred while he served on active duty status. In order to qualify for compensation benefits as a disabled veteran three things must be provided and they are listed as follows: 1. Official Diagnosis of PTSD 2. Credible evidence that sufficiently traumatic event occurred during active military service (in service stressor) 3. Evidence that the in service stressor caused the PTSD. See 38 C.F.R § 3.304(f). Mr. Roberts failed to provide all three documents in a timely manner, so the VA denied his claim. He failed to submit evidence of being diagnosed with PTSD and also to identify his in service stressor. In December 1994 he resubmitted the claim with a detailed...

...Foss v. Harbottle 1 Principles and Applications and Exceptions to the Principles INTRODUCTION Basically, both under the general law and under the Companies Acts there are some protections of minority. Example of minority protection is the doctrine under the general law that the majority of the members must not commit a fraud on minority but must act bona fide for the benefit of the company as a whole. Here, the topic that I am about to touch is the rule of Foss v. Harbottle in which there are some exceptions to this particular rule protect the minority. As for the beginning, Foss v. Harbottle was originally a case reported in 1843. The Victoria Park Company was established for the purpose of ‘laying out and maintaining an Ornamental Park within the Township of Rusholme, Charlton-upon Medlock and Moss Side, in the country of Lancaster’. The capital of the company was to be $500,000, divided into 5,000 shares of $100 each. It was to be controlled by five shareholders. The first directors were Thomas Harbottle, Joseph Adshead, Henry Byrom, John Westhead and Richard Bealey. It was provided that three directors should constitute a board and that the acts of three or more should be as effectual as if done by the five. To sum up the feature of the case, two shareholders in the company, Richard Foss and Edward Turton, brought an action against the company’s directors, on behalf of themselves and the other shareholders except the defendants. The defendants were the five directors, a shareholder...

...Memorandum To: Dr. Bruce Bellner From: Joel Meyer, Daniel Orlando, Raymond Osterhage Date: February 5th, 2015 Re: Apple Case Analysis How attractive is the PC industry? Conduct an industry analysis on the PC industry (A) in its early stages, and (B) in its later stages. Comment on how the industry has evolved. The PC industry has been declining over the years. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was the only option for people who wanted a computing device. As Apple moved into the market and started designing new devices, along with innovation from other companies, the PC industry has shrunk. Early on, the PC industry could be viewed pretty heavily as an oligopoly. There were several main companies that dominated the market, including Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft. Not much has changed over the years in the industry, though. While there are new companies in the market, it is still very heavily dominated by several big companies. The case even mentions that Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Lenovo, and Acer accounted for over 50% of worldwide PC shipments in 2011. In order to conduct an industry analysis on the PC industry both at the beginning, and in the later stages, Porter’s Five Forces and the PESTEL framework can be used. Porter’s Five Forces that can be used to analyze the industry are barriers to entry, supplier power, customer power, threat of substitutes, and rivalry. For the early years of the PC industry, the barriers were relatively high. There were only a few brands that...

...Compare and Contrast an Agency Protest to a General Accounting Office (GAO) protest" Abstract Bid protests enhance the integrity and transparency of the federal procurement process by providing offers with an effective tool to challenge federal contract awards and thereby determine whether they conform to federal procurement law and regulation (1). Therefore, when a protest is brought, successful offers must be prepared to intervene in the protest to defend their contract award. A protester is typically a third party aggrieved by the actions of a government agency which result in a contract going to an awardee viewed by the protester as non-deserving. The law permits protests to be resolved through formal as well as informal procedures. The three protests are the procuring agency, the GAO, and the COFC, which all differ considerably as to their rules, procedures, scope of review, and available relief, and being well versed on each forum’s unique aspects can be essential to a successful outcome. Created by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the GAO became the first external forum for federal bid protests. The GAO was established as an independent governmental agency under the control and direction of the Comptroller General for the United States. Even though the statutes giving GAO jurisdiction to hear bid protests were not enacted until the mid-1980s, the GAO has been hearing bid protests since the 1920s. So what exactly is a bid protest...

...THE DOCTRINE OF PIERCING THE CORPORATE VEIL: ITS LEGAL AND JUDICIAL RECOGNITION IN ETHIOPIA Endalew Lijalem Enyew ♣ Abstract: Upon acquisition of legal personality a company enjoys certain attributes such as limited liability. While the separate legal personality of a company enables it to enjoy rights and assume obligations quite different from its members, the limited liability of shareholders refers to the fact that the company alone is liable for its debts. However, such privilege of limited liability may not always exist when the legal personality of a company is abused and used for illegitimate or unlawful purposes and other reasons. This article examines some of the grounds by which the corporate veil can be pierced under Ethiopian law and the role of courts in recognizing the doctrine. Based on the analysis of the relevant legislative provisions and some court cases, it is found that Ethiopian company law, though not sufficient, provides some clear grounds of piercing the corporate veil and certain possible grounds which may call for the application of the doctrine. It is also argued that Ethiopian courts should apply the doctrine of piercing the corporate veil, through the purposive interpretation of the statutory provisions, if doing so produces equitable results and fairness. Key Words: Company, corporate veil, piercing the veil, Ethiopia DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/mlr.v6i1.3 _____________ Introduction The separate legal personality of a company renders...
