ROYAL PEROGATIVES
GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN LAW CONSTITUTIONAL LAW & ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Coursework Title Lord Frazer in the GCHQ case explained the past position of the courts in relation to the prerogative as follows - ''As De Keyser's case shows, the courts will inquire into whether a particular prerogative power exists or not and if it does exist, into its extent. But once the existence and extent of a power are established to the satisfaction of the court, the court cannot inquire into the propriety of its exercise.'' (Lord Frazer - Council of Civil Service Unions v Minister for the Civil Service [1985] AC 374) Discuss the reasons for this limited judicial control of the prerogative in the past and critically assess the approach finally adopted in the GCHQ case and subsequently. Royal Prerogative derives from common law and they are not from statutes. By origin, royal prerogatives are attributes which of necessity inherent in the kings as the governors of the realm. The royal prerogative consists of those common law powers and immunities which are peculiar to the crown and go beyond the powers of a private individual. The history of the royal prerogatives was created by James 1 between 1603-1625. James 1 was the king of England and Scotland, and when he became king, he appointed himself head of parliament, courts and statutes. Powers of the King were legally based on the royal
"Catfish" Analysis. This documentary was made by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Both begun filming Nevs life as soon as they sensed a story unfolding in the late 2007.
Media Text: Catfish 'Catfish' is a story that follows a young photographer Nev Schulman who lives with his friend Henry Joost and his brother Ariel in New York. Oddly an eight-year-old girl named Abby from Michigan sends him a painting of one of his photographs, which she had made by herself. They later become friends on Facebook, which gives him access to Abby's family: her mother Angela, her husband Vince and her attractive older half sister Megan whom he starts a relationship with. As he begins to get to know more and more about Abby's family, there are things, which do not add up and create suspicion amongst Nev, Ariel and Henry. Finally they leave off to Michigan in order to find out the deserved truth. This documentary was made by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. Both begun filming Nev's life as soon as they sensed a story unfolding in the late 2007. None of them had the slightest idea that this particular project will lead to the most unsettling months of their lives. All characters in this film are claimed to be real this includes Angela who has been interviewed by ABC's 20/20 and the Los Angeles Times who have spoken with her neighbors and most importantly her family. Personally it additionally reminds of a documentary made in 2007 about child art 'My Kid Could Paint That' by Amir Bar-Lev. In which the movie follows the initial artistic career of a young girl Marla
'In general, the criminal law prohibits the doing of harm but does not impose criminal liability for omission to act' Asses the truth of this statement and the arguments used to justify it.
'In general, the criminal law prohibits the doing of harm but does not impose criminal liability for omission to act' Asses the truth of this statement and the arguments used to justify it. Criminal liability is rarely imposed for true omissions at common law, though there are situations where a non - lawyer would consider that there has been an omission but in law it will be treated as an act and liability will be imposed. There are also situations where the accused has a duty to act, and in these cases there may be liability for a true omission. Well it must be first being decided that whether in law they are dealing with an act or an omission. However, there are three situations where this question arises: continuing acts, supervening faults and euthanasia. The concept of continuing acts was used in Fragan V Metropolitan Police Commissioner (1969) to allow what seemed to be an omission to be treated as an act. The defendant was told by a police officer to park his car close to the kerb; he obeyed the order, but in doing so he accidentally drove his car on the constable's foot. The constable shouted, 'Get off, you are on my foot.' The defendant replied, 'Fuck you, you can wait', and turned off the ignition. He was convinced of assaulting the constable in the execution of his duty. This offence requires an act; an omission is not sufficient. The defendant appealed

Rabbit Proof Fence Essay - review
Rabbit Proof Fence Essay Introduction In the 'Rabbit Proof Fence', Phillip Noyce, the writer, takes into account the conflicting opinions over the 'stolen generation policy'. This was an Australian policy which involved taking half-caste aboriginals away from their families and homes, to be brought up in a white society. The policy was in operation between the 1930s and the 1960s. One of the main justifications for the policy, was to educate the half-caste children so that they could fit into society. One of the main arguments against the policy was that it encouraged a sense of superiority by the whites and a sense of inferiority by the aborigines. Justifications For the Policy The Europeans, who invented and put the policy into practice, had many reasons for doing so. They thought that they were doing a good thing. Some of the reasons for this are outlined below. The first reason is so the half-caste aboriginals could have an education. Their education taught them western life skills, this was so they could fit in more easily with modern society. This process was also known as civilizing them. They also learnt very basic reading and writing. Some children got sent away for a proper education. Whether they got to go or not depended on how pale their skin was. The Europeans thought that if they took the half-caste aboriginals into society and trained them as explained

Chapter 8: Conclusion & recommendation Chapter 9: Bibliography Chapter 1 - Introduction I will discuss in this case study using information and scientific testify about global warming. I will explain, what is global warming? What causes it? And what protects it against a drastic increase? I would like to present both scenarios, in chapter 7 - what happens if .... I will describe in detail each source. Professor Nigel Weiss, Emeritus Professor in Mathematical Astrophysics at Cambridge, has affirmed the announcement by scientists that global warming is primarily a man-made problem and has nothing to do with natural changes. http://www.varsity.co.uk/news/124 The reason why I choose this topic is simple. The whole world is worried about climate change. But few are well informed about this topic. These few people know exactly what happened to the world. I would like to explain what exactly happens to our world. It is my world. It's your world. It is our world. We all have to do something, to save our earth.
The effect of concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium.
The effect of concentration of hydrochloric acid on the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to find out the effect of concentration of hydrochloric acid, on the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium. Factors to be investigated: To accomplish my aim I will vary the concentration of hydrochloric acid, and keep all other variables at a constant. Prediction: I predict that when the concentration of hydrochloric acid is higher, the speed of the formation of the gas (hydrogen) will increase. In this experiment I also expect the speed of the reaction to be proportional to the concentration of hydrochloric acid. If the concentration of the acid doubles, I expect the speed to double. I also predict that the greatest rate of reaction will be as soon as the reactants come into contact and as the reaction continues the rate of reaction will decrease. Linking prediction to theory: The collision theory describes how the rate of reaction ( the speed in which a reaction takes place) will increase as the concentration of hydrochloric acid increases. This is due to the knowledge that particles are closer together in a concentrated solution. The closer the particles are, the more often the particles collide. With more collisions comes a greater chance of the reactants reacting. This also explains why I can
The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
A2 Physics Coursework Almost all the information about the known universe comes from different types of waves. Most of what we could originally see was made up of visible light. Visible light is made up of Blue, Green and Red light. Each colour has a different wavelength and when combined for a white light. What we can see (visible light has a wavelength of between 400 to 700 nm) only represents a very small proportion of the light spectrum (known as the electromagnetic spectrum). There are many other forms of electromagnetic waves we can't see. Radio waves have wavelengths billions of time longer than those of visible light. They are used to transmit radio and television signals and can range from less than a centimeter to hundreds of meters. Inferred again has a longer wavelength than visible light however shorter the radio waves. Although invisible to the naked eye we can often feel them in the form of heat. Ultra violet is shorter than visual light ranging from having a wavelength of 400nm to 10 nm. The shorter a wavelength is the higher amount of energy it contains. This is why UV light from the sun can damage your skin. X-rays are also very high-energy waves and can be dangerous when exposed to them for long periods of time. Gamma waves are less than 10 trillionths of a meter and are even more penetrating then X-rays. The electromagnetic spectrum is not only measure

McDonalds Using SWOT, PEST, five forces and the Porters Value Chain, I will assess The McDonald Fast food Chain Organisation. The analysis is a way to take the temperature of the business and it's market place. It will prompt ideas for improvements to a way the challenges are met. With more than 30,000 restaurants in over 100 countries, 80 % of them franchisees.It feeds some 47 millions clients every day but still serves less than one percent of the world's population. How does it do this? It lies in it's strengths: McDonald's distributors are strategically to be accessible to the each restaurant and carry practically everything, from meat to lightbulbs. From the Classical menu to the new: Newproducts have been introduced as the tastes of the market. Alongside the Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets, there is a New Tastes Menu offering new McTreats. There's low-fat Chicken Salsa Flatbread, penne salad comes with 'Italian style chicken For the first time, I can order fresh fruit. The happy Meal Fruit Bag is 'equivalent to five-a-day recommended daily intake of fruit and vegetables', Outside the U.S. Examples include the popular Teriyaki Burger in Japan and vegetable Nuggets in India. Customers come to McDonald's for signature products they can't find anywhere else. In addition many families visit the restaurants because of their unique ability to put smiles on their children's
Critical evaluation of whether certain assumptions are present in Erikson's psychosocial development theory and how important these assumptions are in the context of South Africa.
Course: Development Psychology Essay Topic: Critical evaluation of whether certain assumptions are present in Erikson's psychosocial development theory and how important these assumptions are in the context of South Africa. Word count: 1118 (excluding reference list) Three assumptions present in developmental theories, as mentioned by Duncan, van Niekerk and Mufumadi (2003) will be described in a concise fashion. The assumptions, 'development follows a predictable pattern', 'human beings are resilient', and 'development is a function of the interaction between innate and environmental functions', will also be examined insofar as they relate to the issues and concepts of Erikson's theory. Furthermore, these assumptions and the theoretical concepts of Erikson's theory will be discussed in terms of their importance in a South African context. Interwoven with this, is the argument that although Erikson's theory has validity in certain instances, it relies on specific assumptions to hold true, and is ultimately convincing and applicable only within a definite societal context. Duncan et al (2003) mention the assumption 'human development follows a predictable pattern'. What they mean is physical, cognitive and psychosocial processes of development in humans tend to follow a particular trend. This assumption is reflected in Erikson's socioemotional theory, as evidenced by
