Types of court

Matching the two types of law, i.e. statute and common, are two sets of court hierarchy, i.e. criminal and civil. [Pg.6]

Dispenses summary justice, i.e. trial without a jury. [Pg.6]

Normally comprises a bench of between two and seven lay magistrates. Lay magistrates are not legally qualified and are unpaid. In court, they are advised on matters of law and procedure by the Clerk to the Court, who is a barrister or solicitor with at least five years experience. [Pg.6]

In some cities cases may be heard by a stipendiary magistrate, who sits alone but is a professionally qualified barrister or solicitor of at least seven years standing. [Pg.6]

A group of three superior Courts having both first instance and appeal functions. [Pg.10]


Main types of court likely to deal with safety and health issues in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. [Pg.711]

Outlines the various types of court and tribunals that deal with breaches of health and safety legislation. [Pg.719]

The iaterpretation of forensic toxicology (18) results is often challenging. Courts frequently ask if an amount of dmg detected ia a specimen could cause a specific type of behavior, ie, would someone be under the influence of a dmg at a specific concentration, would a particular dmg concentration cause diminished capacity, or was the dmg the cause of death In a random employee dmg testing case, a worker screened positive for opiates by EMIT and gc/ms analysis of the urine specimen showed low levels of morphine. Although one possibiUty was that the iadividual was a heroia user, a review of foods eaten ia the prior 24 hours suggested a more innocent cause a poppy-seed bagel. [Pg.486]

His guarantee was good. Without exception, the witnesses changed their stories under withering cross-examination, or were shown to have been the type of criminals whose word was worthless in any court. [Pg.233]

TLC is also one of the analytical techniques that is commonly used to support evidence in courts of law. The chemistry concept for visualization is not unique since this reaction scheme, converting explosive to pink dyes, is decades old. TLC provide rapid screening capability for the presence of a broad range of explosive residues. TLC also provides a means for obtaining specificity, i.e., identifying numerous types of explosives, their concentrations, and also provides the capability to ratio the amounts of the explosives present. For example, Comp B has a mixture of RDX and TNT in its formulation, and if present in the sample the ratio would be 60 40, respectively. This ratio becomes visually apparent by the density of the spots with TLC technology (See Figure 2). [Pg.128]

But Jeanne never wasted an opportunity. An ingenuous little priest, Father Roth, from the nearby Minimes chapel was so moved by her plight that he became a type of unpaid secretary. Her earlier lover from Bar-sur-Aube, Retaux de la Villette, also reappeared, an excellent addition to Jeanne s shabby court. Retaux could forge handwriting, compose verses, sing, and, by his own account, make love like a bull—skills that could prove useful to an imposter countess. [Pg.130]

Many of the Supreme Court s holdings on the validity of a search are not usually affected in appHcabiHty by the type of contraband, other than the type of suspicion that it may arouse. Thus, rules that apply to the seizure of drugs should equally apply to the seizure of explosives or weapons, or any other illegal item. [Pg.256]

Of course as community teams have become established there has been branching out into various more specialized areas of work, for instance in projects to do with recently released prisoners, individuals on court orders, pregnant addicts, etc, and such schemes will not themselves be described as some are very specific to the UK. In Chapter 8, however, there will be examination of the types of work undertaken with the range of special patient groups. [Pg.106]

The use of activation analysis in criminal investigations (forensic activation analysis) is also well established. The basic idea here is to match the trace-element distributions found in bullets, paint, oil, and so on found at the scene of a crime with the trace-element distributions in objects found with criminal suspects. Such identification is rapid and nondestructive (allowing the actual evidence to be presented in court). Moreover, the probability of its correctness can be ascertained quantitatively. Other prominent examples of the use of forensic activation analysis involve confirmation of the notion that Napoleon was poisoned (by finding significant amounts of arsenic in hair from his head) and the finding that the activation analysis of the wipe samples taken from a suspect s hand can reveal not only if he or she has fired a gun recently but also the type of gun and ammunition used. [Pg.372]

Two types of parasites or fools are found in the courts of Renaissance gentlemen the natural idiots or deformed fools (for example, the dwarf, eunuch, and fool who entertain Volpone) and the obsequious but clever fools (for example, Mosca). The others are fools by nature Mosca plays the fool by choice. [Pg.5]

If money damages are deemed an inadequate remedy for making the plaintiff whole, the federal courts also have the power to issue injunctions that force the defendant to perform or cease to perform certain actions. In patent law, injunctions normally take the form of a command to the defendant to cease the infringing activity. In certain instances, injunctions are preliminary in nature, meaning they are issued before a final judicial determination on the merits. Preliminary injunctions are applied only under circumstances in which the plaintiff is deemed to be likely to prevail on the merits and the type of harm caused by the defendant s continued actions is irreparable. [Pg.60]
