Repetitive Resumption In The Book Of Mormon, David E. Bokovoy

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

One of the most important contributions of biblical scholarship since the time of Joseph Smith has been the recognition and analysis of editorial activity in the Old Testament. Like the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Mormon is a compilation of several literary sources produced under the auspices of ancient editors or redactors. Significantly, one of the primary signs of editorial activity in the Old Testament, a technique known as repetitive resumption, is also attested in the Book of Mormon.

Transformative Medicine

Introduction: Richter’s transformation is a deadly complication of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) associated with high mortality. This transformation involves the development of an aggressive, diffuse large B cell lymphoma in the setting of a chronic, underlying case of CLL. Although it is rare, Richter’s transformation is important to identify in patients with a history of CLL because of its significant mortality if left untreated.

Imposing Liabilities On Persons Of Influence: An Urgent Step Towards Public Policy Measures In India, Trupti Panigrah Sep 2022

Imposing Liabilities On Persons Of Influence: An Urgent Step Towards Public Policy Measures In India, Trupti Panigrah

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

The persons of influence in India have always enjoyed extravagant love and demonstration thereof from the Indian Fan Community. It is not wrong to call this community as one of worshippers or devotees for they have elevated such persons to the position of Gods. This position has enabled persons of influence, whether film-stars or religious gurus, to exercise their influence on their devotees in an almost-absolute manner. While the Indian legal scenario has recognised and enforced the rights of these persons of influence in their personalities, it was not until recently that a legal duty was imposed on them for …

Evolution Of Consumer Courts In India: The Consumers Protection Act 2019 And Emerging Themes Of Consumer Jurisprudence —Ankur Saha And Sri Ram Khanna, Ankur Saha, Sri Ram Khanna Sep 2022

Evolution Of Consumer Courts In India: The Consumers Protection Act 2019 And Emerging Themes Of Consumer Jurisprudence —Ankur Saha And Sri Ram Khanna, Ankur Saha, Sri Ram Khanna

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

This paper underlines the role of Consumer Courts in the developing consumer jurisprudence in India. It starts with the need to set up Consumer Courts under the Consumers Protection Act 1986. This Act was required in the Indian markets because the well-organized sectors of manufacturers often exploited the consumers. The procedures of Civil Courts were time consuming, expensive and had to follow complicated procedures during trials. Therefore, the Consumer Courts were conceived as alternative quasi-judicial tribunal system which were inexpensive. This law has been amended thrice earlier before being repealed and replaced by the 2019 law which has gone into …

Lexmark And International Patent Exhaustion On Sale: Its Implications On Affordable Medicines In The Us And India, Raj S. Davé, Neil Davey, Vignesh Ramachandran, Ron Somer

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

The role of intellectual property in the pharmaceutical industry has been controversial for decades. On one hand, evidence suggests that patents and monopolies on drug sales for limited periods are necessary to fund costly R&D required to produce life-saving therapies. On the other, there is concern that patent rights have gone too far in favour of innovation, limiting access to lower-income populations who cannot afford exorbitant drug prices. This tension plays out at a grander scale in the international context, as drug prices can vary drastically between countries, as has happened in the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2017, the United States …

Smart Dispute Resolution In The Digital Age: The Potential Of Smart Contracts And Online Dispute Resolution For Dispute Prevention And Resolution In Consumer Law Cases, A.U Janssen, Tom J. Vennmanns J. Vennmanns Sep 2022

Smart Dispute Resolution In The Digital Age: The Potential Of Smart Contracts And Online Dispute Resolution For Dispute Prevention And Resolution In Consumer Law Cases, A.U Janssen, Tom J. Vennmanns J. Vennmanns

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

State courts are the traditional and established place to resolve legal disputes. However, litigations are regularly criticized for being lengthy, costly and conducted in an analogue way (eg, by using outdated non-digital technology for communication). Consumers with small claims in particular often regularly refrain from seeking redress as the hurdles state court proceedings entail are disproportionate to the potential outcome. At the same time, the phenomenon of legal tech, which comes primarily from the private legal services sector, shows that the use of digital infrastructure might be a game changer to make legal processes such as contracting, but also dispute …

Unconscionability, Smart Contracts, And Blockchain Technology: Are Consumers Really Protected Against Power Abuses In The Digital Economy?, Alberto R. Salazar V Sep 2022

Unconscionability, Smart Contracts, And Blockchain Technology: Are Consumers Really Protected Against Power Abuses In The Digital Economy?, Alberto R. Salazar V

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

This work discusses the doctrine of unconscionability in smart contracts involving consumers, as implied by the Supreme Court of Canada in its Uber v Heller decision of 2020. Finding an arbitration clause, whereby Uber required a Toronto driver to bring his labour complaint to an arbitration tribunal in the Netherlands, unenforceable, the Supreme Court required the presence of inequality of bargaining power and improvident bargain for a contract to be unconscionable. This approach to unconscionability also applies to standard form contracts or contracts of adhesion involving consumers. This work focuses on the implications of such an approach for protecting consumers …

The Hidden Harms Of Targeted Advertising By Algorithm And Interventions From The Consumer Protection Toolkit, Jeannie Marie Paterson Dr, Shanton Chang, Marc Cheon, Chris Culnane, Suelette Dreyfus

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

Developments in pervasive data collection and predictive data analytics are allowing firms to target consumers with increasingly precise personalised, behavioural and contextual advertising. These techniques give rise to new risks of harm in the attention economy by unduly influencing or manipulating consumers’ decisions and choices, and by narrowing the product options visible and available to them. In many countries, the legal response to concerns about targeted advertising by algorithm has been focused on privacy protection and data rights. These are important initiatives. However, consent-based data rights are unlikely to provide a comprehensive or even adequate response to the risks of …
