Abstract:

This article provides a case study of the process of criminalising a form of dangerous driving in Victoria. It examines the process whereby an ostensibly draconian Bill was transformed into one far less damaging to fundamental criminal law principles and illustrates how populism may be tempered by proper parliamentary procedures, cooperation between parties and a desire to balance political and legal imperatives. It also examines the place of constructive offences in the criminal law and the role that the consequences of an offence plays in the structure of the substantive criminal law and in

Abstract:

Adolescent embrace of electronic communication with peers often involves sharing indecent images of each other, sometimes with abusive consequences. How should the criminal justice system respond? Use of conventional child pornography legislation can be inappropriately heavy-handed and draconian. This article considers recent developments in the United States and considers how this mode of juvenile indiscretion fits with law, policy and practice in England and Wales.

Abstract:

The EU's target-driven and draconian deportation policy towards asylum seekers and undocumented migrant workers has a shocking but little heeded impact on minors, whether the children of asylum-seeking families, separated/unaccompanied minors seeking refuge or the children of sans papiers. The detention of children whose only crime is their parentage is now commonplace across Europe and often in contravention of international law. The harm done to children, as documented here, is incalculable.

Abstract:

The era of globalization and the mobility of goods and services across different countries have led to the emergence of transnational crimes, one of which is human smuggling. Many countries have been harmed either directly or indirectly by the crime of people smuggling, and most importantly, the rights of smuggled people are definitely neglected. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strictness of Indonesian national legal provisions in relation to the crime of human smuggling and law enforcement activities conducted by the state apparatus in combating the practice of people smuggling in

Abstract:

Ever since November 1974, when the Home Secretary, Roy Jenkins, announced his ‘Draconian’ Prevention of Terrorism Bill, strong emotions have been aroused by the legislation. On the one hand, ardent supporters claim that the Acts have been ‘increasingly useful and necessary for the police’ and ‘the most powerful weapon in our counter-terrorist armoury’. On the other hand, there have been strident critics who not only denounce the Acts as a ‘flagrant violation of basic civil liberties’ but also support ‘the struggle against British imperialism [even if it] inflicts violence on citizens and can h

Abstract:

Determining the scope of the fraudulent claims rule in insurance law has posed a significant challenge for the courts, particularly in the last two decades. In the shadow of the doctrine of utmost good faith, the law in this area has developed in an uncompromising fashion introducing draconian remedies against an assured who submits a fraudulent claim. The Supreme Court's most recent intervention has provided much needed guidance on the state of the law. This article, taking into account the fact that in other areas of law more proportionate remedies have gradually been introduced, discusses t

Abstract:

This story reflects a new reality in which nonjudicial foreclosure, combined with draconian unlawful detainer laws, concretizes the injuries associated with wrongful foreclosure, degrades the perceived legitimacy of the courts, and suppresses valid claims of wrongful foreclosure. Indeed, this very scenario happens regularly in a variety of states. This story is a very real tale of how homeowners are harmed by a foreclosure process that has largely escaped scholarly review. Rooted in the belief that sunshine is a powerful disinfectant, this Article aims to shed light on states that hogtie homeo

Abstract:

The United States Supreme Court. The highest judicial institution of a federated nation, the United States Supreme Court was designed as a political organ. The Court only examines those cases which enable it to fulfill its mission (to ensure the supremacy of federal law, to clarify this and to adapt it to the needs of today’s society). To this end, it carries out a very draconian selection from the cases referred to it. The decisions handed down are often accompanied by «concurring opinions» or «dissents » of great importance, in particular for legal development.

Abstract:

In the ‘core’ lands of the Polish Crown (korona), the chief instrument of King Sigismund’s Reformation policy was the anti-Lutheran edict. He issued eleven such edicts (1520–40), at a more prolific rate than any other prince in Christendom, the first predating even Pope Leo X’s famous Exsurge Domine bull against Luther. This chapter seeks to account for a central paradox: the edicts were draconian in content, but went entirely unenforced by the Crown, which repeatedly ignored local requests to implement them.

This chapter explores the anti-immigrant bill known as The Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act (HB 1804), which sought to criminalize undocumented labor after a decade-long corporate recruitment strategy that solicited migrant labor under the premise of right-to-work. Of particular interest is the emphasis on the weak policy controls the legislation placed on employers while disproportionately penalizing migrants and their families. In this way it disentangles the inconsistent position of the “anti-illegals” narrative that espouses draconian measures penalizing undocumented migrants b

Abstract:

Equitable considerations have been present in human societies for unfathomable aeons. From ancient Greece and Rome to modern times, through ecclesiastical law and the medieval English Chancery, equity has introduced considerations of fairness in legal thought and has helped mitigate the harshness of draconian laws. What is considered equitable has varied over time, with the equitable innovations of the past typically becoming the hard law of today. The purpose of the chapter is to show equity’s continuity in time and across legal systems, as a stepping stone to the argument presented later in

Abstract Demosthenes spoke of the Delphinium court as the most dread and awe-inspiring of them all (23. 74). What is it that made the proceedings of this court so disturbing, more so than trial at the Areopagus itself? The verdict of justifiable manslaughter, which the gods themselves had sanctioned, was the most ancient and sacred of legal concepts; it was also the most troubling aspect of the primitive law. How, after all, were the judges to determine what constitutes ‘justifiable killing’ – to rule that in one case a vindictive killer will go unpunished, in another that the killer be put to

Abstract It is no surprise to find that the most winning characters in Victorian novels experience little mercy once they carry out a desperate act resulting in the death of another. Tess of the d’Urbervilles is just such a case. Tess kills her seducer and her own execution is a foregone conclusion. Victorian law might well have been draconian in its disposition to such crime. In one sense, the novel encourages the reader to accept this: there is no trial, no appeal and the text summarily marks the execution with the fatalistic words ‘ “Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in

Definition of conflict of interest: ‘When an individual, a group of individuals or an organization has competing interests or loyalties.’ This simple definition has applications in most aspects of daily living, so it is unremarkable that in almost every aspect of the administration of healthcare it becomes a significant consideration. Identification or recognition of where a conflict of interest exists is not always easy. Once identified, in many if not most circumstances it necessitates compromise. In all cases the overall intention should not be subsumed by the interest of the individual or

Tony was effectively labeled a child molester and subject to draconian restrictions upon where he could live and work; who he could associate with; and what technology he could possess.

Abstract Fernanda Pirie, an anthropologist of law, thinks the rule of law is four thousand years old. The phrase itself in English, however, was popularized by the constitutional lawyer Albert Venn Dicey only less than 150 years ago. Dicey’s own definition is rarely supported nowadays, but the expression is much invoked, albeit with radically different meanings. This chapter adopts a pared-back understanding of the initial part of Dicey’s concept when considering the relationships of the rule of law to Christianity and society as a whole.

The sentences meted out in these instances of agrarian outrage were often tougher than those given to ‘ordinary’ criminals. The Whiteboys could expect harsh treatment in prison.
