...voluntary help given with the essence of not take something in exchange back. Furthermore religion and charity are interrelated and this can be observed not only from acts of church to support impoverished people, it can be seen also through the history and basic principles of religion. For example, many religions have the concept to help the weak person next to us as the ideal. Generally the charity commission approves charities for the advancement of religion (under statute) but this will be under conditions. However not all religions are available for charitable purpose under the modern law. Problems arise when religions such...

Many countries have found that the complexity of their social organisation and legislation calls for the establishment of specialised tribunals to serve as the first port of call for citizens who wish to contest official decisions on such matters as taxation, social security, and planning permission. Such specialised tribunals (which are not courts) perform the function of ascertaining and evaluating the facts relevant to a matter within their special expertise. There is almost invariably a right of appeal from a specialised tribunal to a court, but often the appeal is restricted to questions of law. 2 2. This appeal is concerned with the Tax Appeal Tribunal established by the Tax Tribunal Act 1984 (since repealed, but in force during the relevant period). By section 3 of that Act the tribunal was to comprise (as Chairman and Vice-Chairman) two barristers of at least ten years’ standing appointed by the Public Service Commission and (subsection...

...The Cambridge Law Test: Specimen Questions All applicants who sit the test in Cambridge will be asked to answer one question in one hour. Individual Colleges will select, from a centrally-set bank of questions, the particular question or questions which appear on their test papers. Three types of questions will be made available to the Colleges, although most Colleges will use only one of the three types: Essay questions; Problem questions; Comprehension questions. Whichever type of question an applicant is asked to attempt, he or she will not be expected to have any prior knowledge of the law. Please note that the specimen questions provided on this website are intended to indicate, in broad terms, the kinds of question which will be asked; they should not, however, be taken as giving any specific indication of the precise topic areas which will be covered in the Cambridge Law Test. Essay Questions What is an essay question? Essay questions typically ask candidates to consider a statement of opinion and to discuss it, giving reasons for their answer. This may be done by (as in the first question below) asking for discussion of a quotation or (as in the second question) asking a direct question. What are we looking for? Although our essay questions refer to law-related matters, as can be seen from the examples below, that does not mean that we expect, or are looking for, knowledge of the law. Applicants who have studied or are studying law (for example...

...every case and how it should be applied in every case. operates to release parties from contracts that they have entered into as a result of being 'influenced' by the other party. - 754 - Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead : ' If the intention was produced by an unacceptable means , the law will permit the transaction to stand. The means used is regarded as exercise of improper or 'undue' influence, and hence unacceptable whenever the consent thus procured ought not fairly to be treated as the expression of a person's free will. It is impossible to be more precise or definitive. The circumstances in which one person acquires influence over another , and the manner in which influence may be exercised , vary too widely to permit of any more specific criterion' - 770 ' Even this test is not comprehensive. The principle is not confined to cases of abuse of trust and confidence. It also includes, for instance, cases where a vulnerable person has been exploited. Indeed, there is no single touchstone for determining whether the principle is applicable. Several expressions have been used in an endeavor to encapsulate the essence: trust and confidence , reliance , dependence or vulnerability on the one hand and a ascendancy domination or control on the other. None of these descriptions is perfect . None is all embracing . Each has it's proper place.” - 771 main book white * Although undue influence is a well-worn phrase , it's...

...more power and control of their own estates. Sources 1 and 2 give varying views on whether or not Henry VIII regarded them as his friends and supporters. Source 1 comes from a description of the festivities enjoyed by Henry and his ‘friends’ at Court in 1510. This source gives much evidence to suggest that Henry very much regarded the nobility as his friends. This can be seen through the description of the antics that Henry and co. took part in. They are said to have joked around a lot, seemingly having fun while playing a prank by coming “early to the Queen’s bedchamber one morning; dressed in short coats of Kentish cloth, with hoods, bows and arrows, like Robin Hood”. What this implies is that the King trusts his nobility enough that he allows them into the Queen’s chamber. They continued to enjoy themselves later at dinner, when Henry “arranged the seating and joked with all; and had [them] parade in strange costumes before they brought in actors to stage a play.” This could be seen as showing that Henry very much enjoyed the company of his nobility, counting them as his friends. However when taking a closer look at Source 1 you can infer that maybe the King is not treating his nobility as his peers as it seems. Where it says “ Then later at dinner the King… had the Earl of Essex and the Lord Henry, Earl of Wiltshire, and Sir Edward Howard and Sir Thomas Parr parade in strange costumes before they bought in actors to stage a play.”.

The only way to obtain a proper licensed publication is through the filtration system known as the “twenty licensers” or the “Committee of Examinations” (Milton 23; Sabine viii-ix). That is where John Milton comes in. Fallen victim to the censorship of his written opinions on divorce, Milton strives to convince the government to realize that censorship...

...has been chartered by the organization are 400 gay men and women. There is consequently a general public outcry against the proposed visit, led by various Christian Church denominations who denounce the visit as an “offence to Christianity”. As the Attorney General, it is my duty to assess whether the vessel should be refused permission to land, and if this be the case, on what grounds. According to Bartrinijam law, the act of Buggery (which is defined as anal intercourse between a man and another man, woman or animal), constitutes a criminal offence. Card, Cross and Jones (2012) defines crime as an offence or legal wrong against the public for which the offender is liable to be prosecuted by or in the name of the state, and if found guilty punished. Legal Moralism, The Harm’s Principle as well as Paternalism are generally used to characterize crimes as well as the nature of crimes. With respect to this characterization, it therefore follows as per Lord Devlin that “Society may use criminal law to preserve public morality…” as in this view, the concern or focus of the law is not limited solely to security and order. Hence, as means of effectively defending as well as safe-guarding public morality...

...Christianity Belvin Sherrill Professor Cecil Mayhall Rel 212 March 20, 2014 Provide a brief overview of the religion you selected that includes: * A description of the central beliefs of the religion. * A description of the sacred text(s) of the religion. * the origin of the religion, including key figures associated with the religion, if applicable The central belief of the Christian religion is that Jesus is the Son of God who is also the second person in the holy Trinity. You have God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit that he lived on earth spreading and teaching the words of his father. Jesus taught, prophesized, and preformed miracles in the name of God he healed the sick, made the blind see, the deaf hear and he did other miracles during his life on earth at the end of his life Jesus was crucified on a cross and said that he was dying for the sins of the world and three days after he passed away Jesus was resurrected and he spoke to his followers one more time and then Jesus ascended into heaven to be seated on the right hand of God his father. In the book of John chapter three sixteenth verse it says for God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life which is why God let his Son be born on earth to show God's love for humanity and God's forgiveness of human sins and that by faith in Jesus one may attain salvation and eternal life. This fact is the main teaching in...

...and child, and the way it may be interpreted is affected by women’s role in society in Elizabethan England and how the audience’s perspective of prejudice and patriarchy. Shakespeare explores emotions and allows adjustments in the relationship in an attempt to drop the audience’s jaws open in eras of both old and new. In this assessment, I will examine just how the way Shakespeare presents the relationship between Juliet and Lord/Lady Capulet with supported evidence. Lord Capulet: the very wealthy patriarch of the Capulet family and empire, probably just as important, the husband of Lady Capulet, the uncle of Tybalt, potential father-in-law of Count Paris, legitimate (but unknowingly) the father-in-law of Romeo Montague… and the father of Juliet Capulet-Montague. Very typically speaking, Lord Capulet is a traditionalist in a traditional society. His wealth is empowered by social hierarchy, thus his iconic reputation; he owes his privileged lifestyle to the world that he lives in, in gratitude, expects his heirs to follow this theory. This pride allows Lord Capulet to meet with Verona’s handsome eligible bachelor, the Count Paris of the Escalus house, and...

Lewis argued that all people have a belief about right and wrong, and the reason for this notion must come from a Power behind this moral law is also God. In comparison to Augustine, I also believes that all of my abilities and success are brought into existence to serve God. In 1 Kings 2:3-4 it says, "Keep the charge of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn, so that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.' We serve our God with a purpose, a purpose to see things from God's eternal perspective and serve Him by faith. Philosopher, Augustine, often considered the father of orthodox theology is one of the well-known theologians in the history of Christian religion.
