...1. Children act 1989: This act was put into place to protect and makes the law simple in dealing with children. It was seen as a wakeup call to dealing with children, it also gave clear information to any one working with children regarding what their duties should include and how they should deal with other professionals in case an allegation arises about the child’s welfare. The guidance was called working together to safeguard children 1999, in one of the articles, number 47, it says the local authorities has a right to investigate any case where they may feel the child is in serious harm or danger. It was then rewritten in 2004 as up until 2003 it was clear that people that were working with young people and children were still not being protected and being left vulnerable. This was highlighted at the death of Victoria Climbe at the hands of her carers, her death was then resulted into an independent enquiry. This was called the laming report 2003as this criticised the protection of children in society, this laming report resulted in a green paper called ‘EVERY CHILD MATTERS’ which in turn led to the new written act. 2.

...of laws that regulated transactions in land have either been repealed or amended to accommodate these principles of land administration. These laws include the Indian Transfer of Property Act of 1892, the Land Titles Act, the Registered Land Act, and the Government Lands Act, and the Registration of Titles Act. The new laws enacted in their place are: the Land Act (2012), the Land Registration Act, and the National Land Commission Act. Land administration is conducted under the auspices of public administration. Prior to the 2010 Constitution, land administration was handled by the Ministry of Lands as well as the Provincial Administration. The Cok, 2010 envisages that land administration should be streamlined and conducted by a specialized body- the National Land Commission. Drawing from the Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2007, the National Land Commission is expected to implement the land policy in collaboration with relevant state and county authorities. The introduction of devolved governments in Kenya’s Constitution has created a novel mechanism of public administration in Kenya, and with it, complexities regarding the roles and function of various state and county officials. One such office is the Office of County Commissioner, which is established by the National Government Co-ordination Act...

...European Conventions on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998, have impacted the doctrine of adverse possession in England & Wales. I will discuss the cases and the impact which the HRA 1998 and the ECHR have had on the decision making process within the courts with regards to the doctrine of, “adverse possession”, in the UK. Rationale of Adverse Possession in England and Wales. The rationale of adverse possession in England and Wales is that; i. There must be a demarcation in reality on the recognition of claims of ownership of property title. ii. As land is finite and therefore a precious commodity then it should be used to its full potential. The common-law doctrine of adverse possession, gave rise to the ease of appropriation of land ownership by squatters/trespassers. In J.A Pye v Graham, Pye were dispossessed of their title to land via a HOL/Supreme court decision, Pye v Graham [2002] UKHL 30, based upon the legislation within LR Act 1925 and Limitations Act 1980. In particular section 75 of LR Act 1925 transferred the title of land to the factual possessor, (Graham) . In J.A. Pye (Oxford) Ltd v. The United Kingdom (Application No. 44302/02) 30 August 2007, Pye didn’t seek the recovery of the lost land but sought compensation from the UK government for lack of procedural protection which subsequently led to the loss of their property. Mummery LJ stated in the Appeal, Pye v Graham [2002] UKHL 30, that the extinction of the...

...Money laundering in football - lessons for the sports industry on Wednesday, 21 December 2011. Hits 2915 Written By Kevin Carpenter[->0] Money laundering in football is not a new phenomenon but the poor financial health of world football overall has lead to increased scrutiny in recent years by leading organisations such as Transparency International ('TI') (the world’s leading non-governmental anti-corruption organisation) and the Financial Action Task Force (‘FATF’) (an independent inter-governmental body that develops and promotes policies to protect the global financial system against money laundering and terrorist financing). Indeed TI has suggested that, ”Vulnerabilities in the sector's financing and due diligence practices, culture and structure are seen…as creating an environment conducive to money laundering by organised crime.“ The concerns have been compounded by two recent high profile cases in the UK then this makes it a good time to analyse this ever present threat. What is money laundering and why is football a target? Money laundering is the process by which proceeds of crime (so called "dirty money" or “criminal property”) are changed so that the proceeds appear to have come from a legitimate source. The proceeds of crime is money, or other assets, that have been acquired or generated through criminal activities in the UK or abroad. There are three main areas of vulnerability in the football sector which can be identified: The sector’s structure – market...

...towards tidiness and completeness and to the elimination, as far as possible, and of interests that a purchaser cannot discover from the register ”. Discuss and consider the extent to which the Land Registration Act 2002 meets the principles referred to in to in the quotation, including in your answer discussion of the extent to which pre-registration concepts such as notice might continue to persist in relation to difficult cases. In the following essay I shall discuss the above quotation. The Land Registration Act 2002 [1] came into force on the 13th October 2003. The Act completely repeals its predecessor the Land Registration Act 1925 [2], and presents a complete volte-face of how to organise the system of registered land in the UK. The LRA 2002 promotes a system of title by registration. The aims of the Act as set out in the Law Commission Report Number 271 are to create a register that is an accurate reflection of the true state of title to a registered estate of land at any time. The Act also aims to implement Electronic - Conveyancing, and to allow the state of title to be investigated with the minimum of additional enquiries and inspection [3]. This piece will focus on how the LRA 2002 has made title more secure and easily provable. The LRA 2002 increases the triggers for registration of land. The aim of this being that as many interests as possible, be entered on the register so that it shows a complete and accurate reflection of the state of title to...

Mankind has acknowledged that technology is an ideal part of our work lives as well as our personal lives and has been able to identify and establish boundaries within these to ensure the overall protection of one. CHANGE There was a time in which in order to send another person a memo or a letter it was sent by transporting it with a carriage and horse, patiently one would await a response from the other party which could at times take weeks or months depending on how far the other party was. That changed when motorized vehicles were invented, it was now faster to send and receive those responses, and one would still patiently await the other’s response. We then had airplanes a much faster method of transporting our said information. Nowadays, there is no such thing as waiting patiently for a response! We have electronic mail!

...Information Technology Acts J Lacy Parson BIS/220 4 Oct 2014 Lisa Paulson Information Technology Acts There were many different acts to choose from. Throughout the years so much as changed in terms of information technology, it seems that every year there are new issues. The most interesting to me were the No Electronic Theft (NET) Act, enacted in 1997 and the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002. The No Electronic Theft Act protects copyright owners against infringement. According to Indiana University it makes copyrighted material “federal crime to reproduce, distribute, or share copies of electronic copyrighted works such as songs, movies, games, or software programs, even if the person copying or distributing the material acts without commercial purpose and/or receives no private financial gain.” (What is the No Electronic Theft Act 2014) This came from the progression that the internet made. The internet made is so easy to share information or download songs. It was a necessary act in my opinion. With blogs being such a big thing it also protected against someone claiming information as their own. The next very interesting act is the Federal Information Management Security Act of 2002. The act states that; “The Department of Homeland Security activities will include (but will not be limited to): overseeing the government-wide and agency-specific implementation of and reporting on cyber security policies and guidance; overseeing...
