Mark Holden Case Study
Mark Holden who was hectically speeding over the speed limit overtook Marcia’s car at a very fast and dangerous speed. Speed limits are according to the road and its conditions so as soon as he went faster than the speed limit he was putting himself and other lives at risk. He ended up overtaking while veering off onto the side of the road, but while doing this his car kicks up a stone due to erratic and speedy driving. The stone hits Marcia’s windscreen which then cracked. If the crack was severe enough it could have caused Marcia to lose visual of the road and she could have crashed herself.

    Mr. Leighe Case Study

    Mr. Leighe is charged with a hit and run, that caused a pedestrian to lose his life. Mr. Hall was riding his bike down the road, in front of Leighe, with his front and rear lights working properly, following all the rules.

    Holden Caulfield Evaluation

    This is the first psychiatric hospital admission for the patient, Holden Caulfield, a 17 year-old male, at Massachusetts General Hospital. The subject freely admitted himself to the care facility at 13:00 on November 28, 1958, with the company of his parents-whose consent was necessary given Holden's legal status as a minor. His induction will be taking place without any incident. Within the time of his arrival, Holden appeared to be quite exhausted and dilapidated. He was wearing woolen slacks and a warm jacket, yet appeared to be suffering from some sort of intense disturbance. His walk was slow and his gait guarded, as if he expected an attack at any moment; he appeared lucid, and sarcastic as well as confused, however, did not mask his above average intelligence. This became specifically apparent to the nurses assigned to his immediate care. The patient has also displayed a penchant for sarcastic comments, especially regarding “phonies”-at this time, we remain unsure of whom he is referring to when he uses this terminology.…

    Equity and Trusts: Barnes V Addy Second Limb

    This paper examines the development and scope of accessory liability under the second limb of Barnes v Addy as it stands in both England and Australia. As to the law in England, the focus will be on the rearticulation of the principle of accessory liability under the second limb as stated in Royal Brunei Airlines Sdn Bhd v Tan. In particular, it will consider the extent to which the decision has reconciled inconsistencies in earlier authority and remedied those issues propounded to be inherent in the traditional formulation of the principle. At this stage, this traditional principle remains good law in Australia. However, as suggested in Farah Constructions Pty Ltd v Say-Dee Pty Ltd, there is potential for the English approach to be adopted in the Australian context. Such an adoption may be advisable in light of the judicial and extra-judicial commentary suggesting that the orthodox approach is in fact not properly aligned with equitable principles. The discussion of this possibility involves not only an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, but also a determination as to the extent to which the separate application of each approach could result in a divergent outcome.…

    3 Assume that the NSW parliament wants to prohibit under-age gambling. To this extent it introduces an Act which states: “any person under the age of eighteen years who is found in the vicinity of a betting shop shall be prosecuted and liable to a maximum fine of $500.” Ian is 15 years old and decides to place a bet in a betting shop. He walks in, places a bet and begins to walk out when he is stopped by a police officer. He is questioned and told that he will be charged under the Act. Two weeks later, Ian receives a summons to a Local Court for an offence against the Act.

    The Argument Against The Icy Road

    Icy roads are a common occurrence for many during the winter. But if you’re not extremely careful, these conditions can become very dangerous very quickly. This was the case with Ethan. He was driving down a street when he hit a patch of ice and began sliding towards a stop sign that he crashed into. When police arrived, Ethan was arrested for speeding as the speed limit was 35 miles per hour on that particular road. There are two people who claim to have caught the crash but one says Ethan was speeding while the other says he was not. Ethan also never slowed down before crashing into the pole because his foot caught under the pedal because the floor was covered with trash which trapped it under the gas.…

    Holden's Trust Issues

    Holden Caufield does not think that he can trust anybody. Throughout the book Holden shows multiple signs of people trying to help him, but he ultimately pushes them away. I believe that this stems from his original problem when he lost both of his brothers. He trusted that his family would stay and protect him, but when Allie died and D.B. "sold out," his parents sent him away. So to Holden, the word trust means betrayal.…

    The Dangers Of Speeding Essay

    The faster a car is going the more force it has, the more force it has the more impact it has in how bad the crash is. For car occupants in a crash with an impact speed of 80 km/h (≈ 50mph) the likelihood of death is 20 times what it would have been at an impact speed of 30 km/h (≈19 mph) (WHO). When the driver goes 10mph over the speed limit the collision energy is increased by 78% (Philadelphia).…
