if you beat someone up really badly, almost to death. They go to hospital and with good care they begin to recuperate. But then there is say a huge disaster nearby and all the medical personnel are focused on the disaster patients and neglect the first patient, who ends up dying due to lack of medical care. Likely they would not have died with the medical care they'd have received if disaster hadn't happened.

The ruling UPA has announced to call a special session of parliament to pass an amend ment to the recent ruling of the supreme court in the matter of Delhi unauthorised shops.
My question is why not abolish the supreme court itself by amend ment to the constitution so that all decisions on all cases can be taken by the parliament like the old citizens committee of Athens which passed death sentence onsocrates for speaking the truth?

How do you think loyalty to an organization and/or obligations to follow a prescribed procedure factor into the situation?

What about the organization's obligation to meet the needs of their clientele?

I'm getting ideas for a paper I am writing. I'm especially interested in the public sector.

My girlfriend recently took up a new post wich was temporary, with her hospital. She is a nurse, but her new job was as a clinical nurse specialist, ie reg 9-5 hours and better pay. Shee took up the post in Jan this year and is still doing it.
Now, the lady she was covering for decided she was taking another job in a different hospital, so the job was available and so, went public.
Her previous ward manager, (same age) was down as her referee, so thinking she was sure to get a good reference from her old manager she awaited interview.
Turned out her old manager had aslo (sneakliy) applied for the job.
Low and behold, she gets aletter last week saying her old boss has the job and my girlfrienf has to go back to her old job.
Surely there is SOME legal issue here? Would they not have to prove the right person got the job? I mean my girlfriend has to stay on and TRAIN her old boss to do the job she has been doing!!!

Should she seek legal advice? Comments and advice please. Thanks.

I am going to beauty school. I have paid it 100% in full. The past few months I have missed a lot of school. Not by choice. Both of my children have been very ill. When the kids are ill Im not able to take them to daycare of course. My hubby cant stay home with them while I go to school, because he is the bread winner of the family.


My question is, can they drop me for this? Even if I bring in doctors notes, and have proof that Im not just messing around. There are times I do not take them to the doctor because it does get expensive, and half the time they really dont need to go, because they cant do anything for them. And if they do drop me, what can I do about it?
TY:)

wasnt sure where to post this question.

When we moved in the apartment was filthy, so my husband and I cleaned it. Then we found out we had bed bugs, so we cleaned it. Then the bug guy came and sprayed, then we cleaned it. We found more bugs so he came and sprayed, we cleaned it. Then he scheduled a time so he could come and spray and we wouldn't be here, he sprayed we cleaned. When he sprayed this time he left pesticide residue on everything (I took pictures) so that was even more work. I have two kids, I can't be going through this every 2 or 3 days. We haven't even been here a month and already we have cleaned like 5 times (by cleaned I mean vacuumed every inch of the apartment: furniture, floors, beds, walls, etc.). The manager said they would send someone to clean after all the bugs were gone, but we have to live here in the mean time. My question is can we get out of our lease, get our money back, and be compensated for all we have been through.

On 6Sep, my colleague read out a page on CNN frontpage: "The CIA operates secret prisons abroad for holding key suspects in the war on terror, President Bush admitted for the first time today." Then, he said "Raymond, I don't understand why you are not there." 2 of my other colleagues heard his speech, which was made in open area of the office.
1) I had not consented to this defamatory statement
2) Absolutey, my colleague is not telling the truth as I am not a suspect for terrorism.
3) My colleague has not privilege to defame me. (Neither absolute, spousal and conditional privileges he has on me)
4) It's not a fair and accurate comment made publicly.
5) He is not from any local legislative bodies and administrative bodies
6) He damaged the public interest of my company as I am a fund manager of an investment firm. Being slandered as a terrorist suspect, I and the public in my company got damaged.
7) His person/ property was not threathened making him slander me.
Can Charge him?
