Statute Of Frauds

In this case, there are several conspirators who is involved in the fraud receiving punishment from either SEC or federal government. Robert Levin, the AMRE executive and major stockholder, and Dennie D.Brown, the company’s chief accounting officer, were subject to the punishment in the form of a huge amount of fine by the SEC and the federal government. This punishment came from reasons. After AMRE going public, the company have the obligation to publish its financial reports but its performance did not meet expectation. The investigation by SEC shows that Robert took the first step of this scam, fearing the sharp drop of AMRE’s stock price because of the poor performance of company. He abetted Brown, to practice three main schemes to present a false appearance of profitable and pleasant financial reports. Firstly, they instructed Walter W.Richardson, the company’s vice president of data processing, to enter fictitious unset leads in the lead bank and they originally deferred the advertising cost mutiplying “cost per lead” and “unset leads” amount, so that they deferred a portion of its advertising costs in an asset account. The capitalizing of advertising expenses allowed them to inflate the net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1988. Secondly, at the end of the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1988, they added fictitious inventory to AMRE’s ending inventory records, and prepared bogus inventory count sheets for the auditors. Thirdly, they overstated the percentage

The validity of an oral contract depends on the jurisdiction, in most cases they are treated like any written one, but some situations (such as when exchanging real property) may require physical evidence such as a written agreement to back up the oral one. For oral contracts to hold water (become enforceable) they must be done correctly, like making sure there is a witness to the deal-making.

Embezzlement seems to be a white collar crime that is victimless. However, when monies are embezzled from a non profit it affects all those involved especially those benefitting from the work of the nonprofit organization. I thought of our local community nonprofit arts foundation. They not only produce a full slate of shows each season, but also provide classes in painting, sculpting, drawing, acting, music, and dance. If they were defrauded in the amount of $93,000 it would affect educational programs and community outreach.

The amount listed is the enrollment agreement was 10,020.00 which gives a difference of :

Being one of the most extensive law reforms of the Law Commission, Land Registration Act 2002 aims to create a flawless legal framework for land registration, especially in terms of conveyancing with emphasis on overriding interests and adverse possession. It is agreed that the Land Registration Act 2002 (hereafter LRA 2002), by putting emphasis on strict registration, moved the idea of land ownership from ownership by possession to bureaucratization of title via registration. Therefore, LRA 2002 is said to bring further strictness and clarity to land ownership and subsequent conveyancing. In conjunction, LRA 2002 was expected to bring an “e-conveyancing revolution” to land registration which was awaited to be a major success. Although steps are taken towards this development, it is claimed that there is still long way to go before a complete and problem-free e-conveyancing system. Apart from matters relating to conveyancing, LRA 2002 consists of sections regarding overriding interests where their number and scope are widely reduced with specifications of registration introduced. Moreover, the Act includes strictly drafted provisions about adverse possession, aiming to bring further restrictions to this matter by bringing further difficulties to the acquisition of title and therefore shifting from a squatter prone approach to a registered owner supporting view.

In old days, description of boundaries of land used physical objects. Toady in BC with a few exceptions, meets and bounds, measurement of distances, angles, and directions measured by surveyors, are included in Land Title System. In the past when a party wrongly assumes the boundary, without any contracuaral agreement the law of adverse possession could alter the title. Although the law has been abolished in BC by sections 24 and 171 of the Land Title Act (LTA)),

No definition of the offence of theft; Carrara gives us a definition which has been taken up by our courts, “The malicious taking of an object belonging to others without the owner’s consent with the intent to make gain.” This is the definition which our court uses, our law simply creates one distinction for these offences. The law creates two types of theft: Simple Theft and Aggravated Theft.

Ownership on land has been established by inheritance or title deed following mutation and other relevant process. Survey and settlement one of the important process to establish occupancy rights on land. Survey and settlement works usually done by deploying temporally staff. Most of the cases they are involved in massive corruption which are causes of suffering and deprivation from land assets. Case study sixteen has been written on that issue with the title “Tossedd Khan: Corruption in Survey and Settlement”.

Enlightenment thinker Giacomo Leopardi claims that “[t]he combative spirit...derives from the folly of human beings who will not accept the circumstances of life” (Leopardi). In a society where people value success over dignity, this lack of acceptance leads to the callous deception that causes so much suffering today. This deception, found in contract fraud, means that the one soliciting a contract benefits more than the one who signs it when the terms of the agreement are manipulated. Fraud has become one of the top three causes of bankruptcy in America, along with medical bills and job loss (“Top”). In fact, a 2015 study by the Federal Trade Commission found that 25.6 million people had agreed to a fraudulent contract that year because they were not clearly given all of the terms (Ramirez). The manipulation of contracts to gain an advantage in society implements precaution that undermines trust and ultimately leads to increasingly apathetic individuals.

The priority for this project research is to simplify the procedure of conducting a title deed search. The current process for verifying land is manual, long,

It can be defined as recording rights and interests of land/ existing rights and claims of people to land. This process is governed by the Land Adjudication Act Cap 287, adjudication is also when a title to land is registered for the first time/ first stage in the registration of title to land in areas where the ownership of the parcel of land is unknown. After the land adjudication process, a land adjudication register is created. The adjudication register is composed of a demarcation map and adjudication record. Each parcel number of land is indicated on the map which corresponds to the adjudication record that contains the registration section, parcel number, name of the owner, and size of the land and details of the registry map
