...Appointment of company secretary in company, Section 187(1) Appointment of secretary People that are sole directors cannot be secretary and these people must be registered under section 201 of the said Act. This law seems to be applicable all over Abott, Pendlebury and Wardman (2004), quotes of S.283 which states that every company must have secretary, but a sole director cannot also be the secretary. It is usual for the secretary to be appointed by the directors on such terms as they think fit. The directors may also remove the secretary. The rules relate to the appointment include the following: the secretary to get appointment should have already holds office as secretary, assistant secretary or deputy secretary of the company; or for at least three out of the five years immediately preceding his appointment held office as secretary of a public company; or is a barrister, advocate or solicitor; or is a member of any of the following bodies: the Institute of Chartered Accountants; the Association of Certified Accountants; the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators; the Chartered Institute of Cost and Management Accountants; the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy; or is a person who, by virtue of having held any other position or being a member of any other body, appear to the directors to be capable of discharging the functions of secretary.

...Why not? What additional actions (if any) do you think will be necessary? Yes, I think that the experts’ recommendations will encourage administrators to fill the forms out properly. The sample performance rating form that the expert recommended Sweetwater to use instead of the good or excellent formula they were using is way more in depth. For example, this rates the secretaries on a scale of 1-5 on different skills such as communication, organizational know-how, and achieving business results. Within each of these categories, the employer has a chance to write in their own words how the secretaries are excelling in these categories or how they can improve on them. You have to go in with the mindset that every employee is excellent at what they do and just help them develop ways to do their job more effectively. However, there should be some strong training sessions for administrators and secretary. This training should help them understand the new system. Also, since all secretaries used to receive the same salary increase, the maximum increase should be lowered to an amount which can be given to all secretaries while staying within budget. 2. Do you think that Vice President Winchester would be better off dropping graphic rating forms, substituting instead one of the other techniques discussed in this chapter, such as a ranking method? Why? Yes, I think that a ranking method is one of the best ways to go about rating someone’s work performance. I like the idea of seeing...

Moreover, Mr. Ban’s diligence, sincerity and warm-heartedness also contributed greatly to his rise, along with high performance capability. With such recognition, Mr. Ban successfully expanded his political network (both in Korea and in the organization of US) with apparent sincerity, great communication skill and sharp sociopolitical awareness.

...of the Middle English romances, much religious and secular prose and verse including the English works of John Gower, Thomas Hoccleve and most of Caxton's prints all find their place in the publications. Without EETS editions, study of medieval English texts would hardly be possible. As its name states, EETS was begun as a 'club', and it retains certain features of that even now. It has no physical location, or even office, no paid staff or editors, but books in the Original Series are published in the first place to satisfy subscriptions paid by individuals or institutions. This means that there is need for a regular sequence of new editions, normally one or two per year; achieving that sequence can pose problems for the Editorial Secretary, who may have too few or too many texts ready for publication at any one time. Details on a separate sheet explain how individual (but not institutional) members can choose to take certain back volumes in place of the newly published volumes against their subscriptions. On the same sheet are given details about the very advantageous discount available to individual members on all back numbers. In 1970 a Supplementary Series was begun, a series which only appears occasionally (it currently has 24 volumes within it); some of these are new editions of texts earlier appearing in the main series. Again these volumes are available at publication and later at a substantial discount to members. All these...

...ANSWER TO PART 1: A) The first lawsuit that Sebastian can bring against Poorich supermarket would be tort of negligence. The general principle of tort of negligence is, a person through his act or omission causes damage or injury to another person in situations where it was foreseeable. In the case of Sebastian, the manager of the Poorich supermarket owes Sebastian and his two sons a duty of care as a customer. The concept of duty of care generally known as the ‘neighbour’s principle’ is effectively established in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson. The legal principle of Donoghue v Stevenson is, in order for the plaintiff to sue in negligence he has to prove the four vital points which are, the defendant owes a duty of care to the plaintiff and the defendant did not take proper care which resulted in damage or injury to the plaintiff. Hence, in this case the manager of the supermarket breached his duty by negligently accusing Sebastian in front of a public for stealing and also labelling Sebastian as a cheat and liar without having any accurate evidence. Therefore, my recommendation would be that Sebastian may file a law suit against the Poorich supermarket for the negligence of the manager in handling the matter which is reasonably foreseeable that it caused Sebastian embarrassment and emotional distress. The second lawsuit that can be brought against the supermarket, would be trespass to a person. The three types of trespass to a person is battery, assault and false...
