The Right Honourable
''The Right Honourable'' ( abbreviation: ''Rt Hon.'' or variations) is an honorific style traditionally applied to certain persons and collective bodies in the United Kingdom, the former British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations. The term is predominantly used today as a style associated with the holding of certain senior public offices in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and to a lesser extent, Australia. ''Right'' in this context is an adverb meaning 'very' or 'fully'. Grammatically, ''The Right Honourable'' is an adjectival phrase which gives information about a person. As such, it is not considered correct to apply it in direct address, nor to use it on its own as a title in place of a name; but rather it is used in the third person along with a name or noun to be modified. ''Right'' may be abbreviated to ''Rt'', and ''Honourable'' to ''Hon.'', or both. ''The'' is sometimes dropped in written abbreviated form, but is always pronounced. Countries with common or ...

Rolled Steel Products (Holdings) Ltd V British Steel Corp
''Rolled Steel Products (Holdings) Ltd v British Steel Corp'' 986Ch 246 is a UK company law case, concerning the enforceability of obligations against a company. The case was one of the last significant cases on ''ultra vires'' under English company law before the provisions abrogating that doctrine in the Companies Act 1985 became effective. Facts Rolled Steel Products Ltd gave security to guarantee the debts of a company called SSS Ltd to British Steel Corporation. This was a purpose that did not benefit Rolled Steel Products Ltd. Moreover, Rolled Steel's director, Mr Shenkman was interested in SSS Ltd (he had personally guaranteed a debt to British Steel’s subsidiary Colvilles, which SSS Ltd owed money to). The company was empowered to grant guarantees under its articles but approval of the deal was irregular because Mr Shenkman's personal interest meant his vote should not have counted for the quorum at the meeting approving the guarantee. The shareholders knew of the irre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Attorneys-General Of The Duchy Of Lancaster
In most common law jurisdictions, the attorney general or attorney-general (sometimes abbreviated AG or Atty.-Gen) is the main legal advisor to the government. The plural is attorneys general. In some jurisdictions, attorneys general also have executive responsibility for law enforcement, prosecutions or even responsibility for legal affairs generally. In practice, the extent to which the attorney general personally provides legal advice to the government varies between jurisdictions, and even between individual office-holders within the same jurisdiction, often depending on the level and nature of the office-holder's prior legal experience. Where the attorney general has ministerial responsibility for legal affairs in general (as is the case, for example, with the United States Attorney General or the Attorney-General for Australia, and the respective attorneys general of the states in each country), the ministerial portfolio is largely equivalent to that of a Minister of Justice ...

Alumni Of New College, Oxford
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished". The term is not synonymous with "graduate"; one can be an alumnus without graduating (Burt Reynolds, alumnus but not graduate of Florida State, is an example). The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from the s ...

Winkworth V Christie Manson And Woods Ltd
''Winkworth v Christie Manson and Woods Ltd'' 9801 Ch 496 was a judicial decision of English High Court relating to the proper law to determine whether title passes when stolen goods are sold to another person in a foreign country. The case related to paintings which were stolen in England, and later sold by the thief to a purchaser in good faith who was unaware that they were stolen in Italy. Slade J held that the rule as to whether or not title to property validly passed was to be determined by the law of the place where the property was located at the time that the transfer purportedly took place. In this case, under Italian law a purchaser in good faith without notice received good title, and accordingly, the rule of Italian law prevailed over the English rule (known as the ''nemo dat'' rule) because that was where the paintings were at the relevant time. Facts The facts of the case were not complex, and were set out in the judgment: The goods with which the action and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mikeover Ltd V Brady
''Mikeover Ltd v Brady'' 989is an English land law case, concerning the definition of leases, specifically a standard tenancy as opposed to a licence. Here a licence was confirmed and upheld where two former co-habitees had fallen out and separated; removing from the remaining licensee, in arrears, the extra time to remain afforded by the old Rent Act 1977 type tenancies which he hoped to benefit from. Facts Mikeover Ltd had leased 179 Southgate Rd, London, N1, and then let it out to Mr Brady and Miss Guile. They each signed separate but identical ‘licence’ agreements allowing them to share for six months for £86.66 a month. After the sixth months expired they were allowed to remain on the same terms. Miss Guile moved out early 1986, telling Mr Ferster, the Mikeover Ltd director, in April 1986. Mr Brady offered to continue to pay £173.32 in rent. Mr Ferster replied ‘I can’t accept it. I’ll hold you responsible for your share only.’ But Mr Brady still fell into arre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aveling Barford Ltd V Perion Ltd
''Aveling Barford Ltd v Perion Ltd'' 989BCLC 626 is a UK company law case concerning reduction of capital. It held that a sale at an undervalue of an asset was a dressed-up distribution. As the company did not have distributable reserves, the sale was in consequence an unlawful reduction of capital. The law in relation to the transfer of assets at an undervalue has been clarified in CA 2006, and the amount of the distribution arising in consequence of a sale at undervalue is now determined in accordance with section 845. Facts Mr Lee owned and controlled both Aveling Barford Ltd and Perion Ltd. Aveling Barford owned a country house and 18 acres of land in Grantham, which it sold to Perion £350,000, rather than the £1,150,000 it had been valued for prospective mortgagees. Aveling Barford subsequently went into liquidation, and the liquidator sued to have Perion be declared a constructive trustee of the proceeds realised by Perion on the resale of the property.

Phillips Products Ltd V Hyland And Hamstead Plant Hire Co Ltd
''Phillips Products Ltd v Hyland and Hamstead Plant Hire Co Ltd'' 984EWCA Civ 5is an English contract law case concerning the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. Facts Hamstead Plant Hire hired out a JCB excavator to Phillips Products. It also hired out a driver, Mr Hyland. Condition 8 of their contract stated the driver would be deemed to be the employee of Phillips Products. The driver crashed into Phillips’ factory wall. Phillips argued that Hamstead Plant Hire should pay for the damage caused by Mr Hyland, because condition 8 was caught by UCTA 1977 section 2(2) and was unreasonable. Hamstead Plant Hire argued it was not, asserting there had been no negligence on its part that was even being excluded, because there was no ‘breach’ of obligation in section 1(1)(b). The effect of condition 8, they contended, was that no liability for the driver had ever been assumed. Judgment Slade LJ rejected Hamstead Plant Hire’s argument. Condition 8 was caught by UCTA 1977, and was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bank Of Credit And Commerce International SA V Aboody
''Bank of Credit and Commerce International S.A. v. Aboody'' 9924 All ER 955 is an English contract law case relating to undue influence. Facts Mrs. Aboody signed a document making a charge over the family home in favour of Bank of Credit and Commerce International, to secure her husband’s borrowing for his company. Mr. Aboody had bullied her, and she had signed to get some peace. Judgment Slade LJ held that because of "manifest disadvantage" had to be shown even in cases of actual undue influence.
