California Car Insurance - Compulsory Financial Responsibility Law
2008-02-07 04:37:00 California car insurance is weaved into the state's Compulsory Financial Responsibility Law. This law obliges owners and operators of vehicles to take financial responsibility for their actions. This may seem like a very difficult law to enforce, especially if the actions of an individual have expensive ramifications.Fortunately, auto insurance makes following this particular law relatively easy. The state of California has statutory minimum limits of liability insurance that all owners and operators of motor vehicles must have. These minimum limits are the bare bones of vehicle coverage for a person living in this state.California Car Insurance MinimumsThe policy needs to include at least $15,000 of coverage for death or injury of any individual in a single accident. The policy also needs to have $30,000 for all persons involved in a single accident. This coverage assures everyone involved in the accident that they will receive compensation for their injuries or losses.Property da...
Indian botanists voice concern about country’s stringent biodiversity law
2008-02-06 10:16:00 A group of Indian botanists have said that the country’s biodiversity laws are so stringent that they are stifling research in the sector. The group includes K. D. Prathapan from Kerala Agriculture University and Priyadarsanan Dharma Rajan from the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and Environment, Bangalore. According to a report in ENN, the scientists have said that India's "draconian" rules on free exchange of biological samples could "totally isolate Indian biodiversity researchers and is akin to a self-imposed siege on scientists in the country". India's biodiversity rules, established in 2002, do not permit Indian scientists to deposit their specimens in international museums and stipulate that specimens must be kept in selected national repositories. According to Prathapan and colleagues, quality research involves extensive collaboration among specialists and institutions across continents. “And in taxono...

Southern Poverty Law Center Investigates "Ex-Gay" Movement
2008-01-20 22:30:00 The latest issue of Intelligence Report, the magazine of the Southern Poverty Law Center, includes an in-depth exposé of the "ex-gay" movement, a network of ministries that claim to cure homosexuality. These treatments, often performed by leaders who are not licensed therapists, range from the cultic (exorcisms and isolation from one's friends and family) to the merely absurd (beauty makeovers for lesbians). SPLC notes that these groups recently expanded their agenda to include political act-ivism, opposing gay-rights initiatives on the grounds that sexual orientation is not an immutable trait like race and gender. The ministries' own statistics, however, tell a different story: To back up their claims that homosexuality is purely a deviant lifestyle choice, ex-gay leaders frequently cite the Thomas Project, a four-year study of ex-gay programs, paid for by Exodus, that recruited subjects exclusively from Exodus ministries. It was conduc...

The Single Equality Bill could force vicars to conduct weddings for sex-change brides, deprive Christians of the right to oppose homosexuality and make church schools promote gay lifestyles in lessons, said the Archbishops' Council. Church charities may also be barred from saying grace before meals or displaying crucifixes, it claimed.

Age discrimination claims over pension changes hit City Law firm Freshfield
2007-07-19 15:59:00 City law firm Freshfields has been hit by two age discrimination claims from former partners. The company is currently fighting an employment tribunal claim brough by Peter Bloxham, its former head of insolvency. The judgment on the claim has been reserved indefinitely. Bloxham accused Freshfields of age discrimination on the ground that changes to its pension scheme affected partners differently according to their age. Now Lois Moore, a mergers and acquisitions partner who left the company late last year, has filed a similar claim. It is understood that it covers much of the same ground as the Bloxham case and it has been deferred by a tribunal pending the outcome of the existing case. Freshfields said: ?In responding to the Bloxham claim, we are showing that the pension reforms were all about fairness and, as the law allows, a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.?
Seattle Sports Columnist Tackles Intellectual Property Law
2007-06-20 06:07:00 On June 15, Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Ted Miller wrote about sports and intellectual property law, including a recap of the Seattle Seahawks’ trademark- dispute with Texas A&M over the 12TH MAN trademark, the NFL’s abandoned efforts to register THE BIG GAME as a trademark over objections from Stanford University and the University of California, and Major League Baseball’s efforts to control its players’ statistics so it can charge fantasy baseball businesses licensing fees. His conclusion: intellectual property law is “sexy” and “hip.” Well, at least he’s right about that.
European Court of Justice?s UK health and safety law decision hailed as ?vi
2007-06-18 17:39:00 A European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision on a key element of UK health and safety law has been hailed as a ?victory for common sense?. The ECJ upheld the use of the key phrase ?so far as is reasonably practicable? in British law. A challenge by the European Commission (EC) argued that by restricting the duty on employers to ensure the health and safety of workers to this phrase, the government had fallen short of standards in the original directive. But the ECJ dismissed the EC's case and ordered it to pay the UK government?s costs. Bill Callaghan, chairman of the Health and Safety Commission, said: ?We continue to believe that the right way forward is a proportionate and risk-based approach protecting employees and others effectively, while allowing common sense to be applied when deciding on what protective measures to adopt.? TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: ?The Health and Safety Executive now needs to get on with ensuring that the UK?s safety laws...

Stove Related Product Liability Issues -- Idaho Product Liability Lawyer
2007-04-12 17:21:00 The Washington Post recently reported as follows in an article of April 6, 2007 concerning stove-tipping concerns: "Stephanie Moran was cooking chicken on the stove in her apartment while her two children, Jarod Moran, 2, and Jamie Hamblin, 1, played in the kitchen. The pot was out of their reach on the back burner when Jarod pulled down the oven door and stood on it. The stove began to tip over. The pot of boiling water and chicken flew into the air, landing on Jamie and scalding the lower right side of his body...The accident is one of about 84 injuries and 33 deaths caused by tipping stoves from 1980 to 2006 and documented by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Morbidly Obesity Law Suit First of Many?
2007-02-17 09:56:02 This article about a morbid obesity was on a website called over-lawyered and I think you can guess from the title what it is all about but it made me chuckle and I thought you might find it eye opener but if you find that incredible read on to the end and see what the British are doing to combat the problem? The story begins Charles Olanyk was a morbidly obese man and weighed in at 460 pounds in 2001 at the age of 51. He was a very big guy and as a result of his morbid obesity he had several health problems high blood pressure, diabetes lack of mobility and other problems you would imagine associated with being that large. One day Charles Olanyk accidently stubbed his toe and subsequently decided to treat the injury with a heated pad but probably due to his diabetes and the lack of sensation in his lower limbs he managed to inflict on himself third degree burns. He then as a result of his injury visted his Doctor, Dr Bookwater who had been treating him for leg ulcers. On examin...

The new safety laws have Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford whipped?
2007-02-01 20:53:02 Harrison Ford has threatened to quit the new Indiana Jones movie, unless he gets to use a real whip. The 64-year-old actor, who plays the daredevil archaeologist, was told the weapon would have to be computer generated because of new film safety rules. Harrison branded the rule "ridiculous" and said he would pull out of the film if he couldn’t wield his whip. A source said: "The idea was to take away the risk element the whip carries. "Safety laws have changed since the last film and movie makers have to be much more careful. Now they use computer graphics for any dangerous stuff." Monsters & Critics Can you believe with all the delays for this movie, that a simple thing like a real whip might be the final nail in this movie’s coffin?
