Under Canadian Tax Law, there is an election for companies to defer recaptures and capital gains of property that was involuntarily or voluntarily disposed of. In this research paper, we attempt to prove that the election is a useful taxation strategy for businesses so that they are not subject to pay taxes on capital gains or recaptures until such a time where they may acquire an eligible replacement property that will help them earn business income. We will provide facts, definitions, and examples to illustrate the use of this election throughout the paper by explaining the capital cost allowance system, the offset available to business for capital gains and recaptures, the election process, the rules regarding replacing former business

Case 9 deals with a homeowner (the principle) who lists her property for sale and enters into an agreement with an agent to facilitate a sale with a third party. Over the course of the agency agreement a prospective buyer inspected the property but didn’t make an offer before the agency agreement expired. The legal issue that arises comes after the agency agreement expires. The prospective buyer later decided to put in an offer, which was accepted, but once discovering that the agreement between the principle and agent had expired brought legal action against the agent.

A mediator has no legal authority to impose a settlement on the parties thus functions more as an invited guest who can be required to leave if one or both bargaining parties no longer desire the mediators continued involvement in the bargaining process (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters, 2012). A mediator 's primary function is to identify issues, explore possible bases for agreement, discuss the consequences of reaching impasse, and encourage each party to accommodate the interests of other parties through negotiation. However, unlike arbitrators, mediators lack

Engineers, contractors, and other businesses must be mindful of and knowledgeable of their legal obligations when performing their occupation or supplying a product. Negligence in the design or construction of a product that results in damage or bodily harm, or could result in damage or bodily harm, can result in liability for economic loss under Canadian Tort law. Engineers, architects, and contractors need to be respectful of their duty of care to ensure their product is precisely produced with no danger of negligence.

Bullying is an important topic in society because it continues to be a problem for individuals whether they are in school, at work or even at home. Bullying can be demonstrated verbally and/or physically. In other words, it is when one hurts or threatens to harm a person to do his/her wantings. It is controversial whether Canadian law has adequately addressed this topic. Bullying has indeed been addressed properly throughout Canada’s law system in various ways. The goal of this essay is to show that the justice system has made many laws and regulations to help victims or anyone involved in the bullying through the many bills created to amend existing acts, the created action plans against bullying and laws that are created in the Criminal Code.

Borzoi and Reverend Yun have an ongoing counseling relationship. The conversation that took place in December of 2012 was no different from any counseling conversation that took place before. Reverend Yun offered guidance and care to Ms. Borzoi regarding her character flaw and encouraging her to give her support to members of BMCC. Ms. Borzoi made it clear that she wanted the conversation to remain confidential by requesting Reverend Yun’s confidence on the matter and shutting the door. As the senior pastor of BMCC, Reverend Yun has a duty to retain the confidences of her congregants and under Rule 505 she has the right to assert this duty. Therefore, Reverend Yun claims privilege under Rule 505 and the court should strike Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Exhibit C and deny the Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Reverend

In determining the differences between a freestanding and gateway claim of actual innocence in habeas review, I will identify several factors that go into the courts procedures and verdict in deciding if the convicted petitioner is entitled to habeas relief. Some of these factors include the nature in which the petitioner is questioning their conviction, such as a constitutional error or new evidence surfacing. From that, I will explain how the court decides the standard of review in determining if the petitioner should be granted relief. Finally, I will explain which one of the two has a much higher chance of successfully being granted habeas relief.

Demonstrated in the Watergate hearings, this is a privilege easily abused. In this case Nixon used it as a wall to hide behind from the penalties of his shenanigans at the Watergate Hotel.

Many personal injury lawyers settle cases out of court, without a trial. A Social Security lawyer at Rose Law Offices, explains why settling rather than suing is often the best way to resolve a case. The firm serves clients from its offices in Honolulu, HI, and Puyallup, WA.

Assuming the validity of the contractual obligations TDT contends are owed to it—we do not—TDT is most certainly not entitled to the overstated and unsupported invoices charged to the Respondents. Notably, this argument is two-fold. First, for the reasons stated in Part I, supra, the Daily Rate Schedule is unenforceable because they demand payment for services far in excess of market rates and industry standards.

The Presumptive Fairness of Voluntary Settlement Negotiated settlement of civil litigation does not seem prima facie suspect because we assume that the interested parties usually can make rational estimates of the costs of litigation and the expected gains from success at trial.

Many laws in Canada first begin as bills in the House of Commons. In the Commons Chamber, Members devote most of their time to debating and voting on bills. The Chamber is also a place where Members represent constituents' views, discuss national issues and call on the government to explain its

In the "Cascade Manor" negotiation, I played the role of co-chief city planner. I was part of a team, partnered with the other co-chief city planner and the city's financial director. It was our task to negotiate a deal with a development corporation who wanted to build a residential housing community to revitalize the historic district of our city. We devised a strategy on how we would open and negotiate on the issues. Using this strategy we were able to agree to a deal with the developers, and walk away with a sizeable amount of the "pie". This paper will look at how offering multiple package deals help the negotiator claim resources, and suggests ideas on how to develop an effective multiple offer strategy.
