...S.50. Personal profits earned after dissolution Subject to Contract between the partners, the provisions of clause (a) of S.16 shall apply to transactions by any surviving partner or by the representatives of a deceased partner, undertaken after the firm is dissolved on account of the death of a partner and before its affairs have been completely wound up: Provided that where any partner or his representative has bought the goodwill of the firm, nothing in this section shall affect his right to use the first name. Profits by partner after dissolution and before winding up- Where a partner, after dissolution and before the affairs of the partnership are wound up, derives any profit for himself from any transaction of the firm, or from the use of the property or business connection of the firm or the firm name, he shall account for that profit and pay his share to the surviving partner or the representative of the deceased partner. But if a partner carries on another business of a similar nature, this section would not apply. For example, A and B carry on business in partnership. The firm holds leasehold for the purposes of the business. A dies. Before the affairs of the firm are completely wound up, the lease expires and B renews it. The renewed lease is partnership property. Dissolution of firm does not put an end to rights accrued during existence of partnership.- Mere execution of deed of dissolution did not discharge the parties thereto from their rights and liabilities...

...Robertson helped change ideas of what should happen to children when they are in hospital. Previously parents were hardly even allowed to visit their sick children; now they are usually allowed to stay with their child all the time that their child is in hospital, so bond disruption is minimised. Rutter and Tizard and Hodges show that adoption is a good outcome for children, even if the adoption takes place after the child is 6 months old. These studies showed that for children that were adopted (and the earlier the better) the negative effects of privation could be reversed. Ideally adoption should happen very quickly after it becomes clear that the child cannot stay with its birth parents, and after Bowlby’s ideas were published it was common for babies to be adopted when they were only one week old. Whilst this isn’t the case any more, it is recognised that adoption is good and that more needs to be done in the UK to speed up the adoption process, which is lengthy. Studies such as The EPPE Project showed that day care is good for children if it is high quality, including factors such as low staff: child ratio, low staff turnover, good resources, and good staff training. As a result of this from 2004 free pre-school places were available to every 3 year old. Campbell showed that day care at an early age could be associated with negative social effects, such as aggression. Therefore maternity leave has recently been extended to last for 12...

...in favor of unification, the two countries split less than five years of having political autonomy. Following their split, Slovakia and the Czech Republic took different approaches towards approaching a market-economy, yielding somewhat surprising results. This paper will analyze the viability of Czechoslovakia as an optimum currency area, recount its history in the context of economic and political differences, and then illustrate how differences in political philosophy affected their economies today. Unlike most other research this paper aims to prove that, while political differences may have been the deciding factor in dissolution, it was really economic differences between the two, originating from geographic differences and early history, that necessitated the divorce. Economic Analysis and the Optimum Currency Area When analyzing the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, and particular when searching for truth as to its cause, it’s important to note that it was in fact a two part split – first the political union and then the monetary union. The second divorce would typically imply that the split was in fact economically motivated, not politically. In order to test this fact, this paper will test Czechoslovakia’s position as an optimum currency area (OCA), which is essentially the range of territory within which one currency should/can be used. This is important because if Czechoslovakia was not an OCA, we can conclude...

...BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS INTRODUCTION This unit introduces students to the most common forms of business organizations, namely sole proprietorship, partnership and limited liability companies. However, emphasis is placed here on partnership and the legal consequences which flow from the formation of such a method. The main advantages and disadvantages of these forms of business organizations are also discussed. Important Concepts in Business Organizations The following are some important concepts in business organizations: Incorporation The law permits the creation of artificial or legal persons. An example of such is an incorporated company. This means that such an organization has a legal personality separate from its members. Legal Personality Under The English Law, all human beings have a legal personality. A legal personality is made up of a person’s legal rights and duties. However, the extent of these rights and duties is dependent on whether the person is an adult or a minor. A minor has limited rights and few duties. By operation of the law, an incorporated company has a legal personality Limited/unlimited Liability As a result of an incorporated organization having its own legal personality, its members are not generally liable for the debts of the organization. This however is in contrast to a partnership which does not have a legal personality separate from the partners. Here, partners have unlimited liability for partnership’s debts. Also, a sole proprietor...

...Definition of Partnership A partnership is an arrangement in which two or more individuals share the profits and liabilities of a business venture. Various arrangements are possible: all partners might share liabilities and profits equally, or some partners may have limited liability. Not every partner is necessarily involved in the management and day-to-day operations of the venture. In some jurisdictions, partnerships enjoy favourable tax treatment relative to corporations. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/partnership.asp#ixzz49Y975kkP Types of Partnership A partnership is a business owned by two or more people. In most forms of partnerships, each partner has unlimited liability for the debts incurred by the business. The three typical classifications of for-profit partnerships are general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships. 1. General Partnership: Partners divide responsibility for management and liability as well as the shares of profit or loss according to their internal agreement. Equal shares are assumed unless there is a written agreement that states differently. A general partnership involves two or more owners carrying out a business purpose. General partners share equal rights and responsibilities in connection with management of the business, and any individual partner can bind the entire group to a legal obligation. Each individual partner assumes full responsibility for all of the business's debts and obligations. ...
