Re Canada Post Corp And Cupw (Gillingham), Innis Christie

Innis Christie Collection

The Union claims that the Employer has an obligation to notify employees at least an hour in advance of work shift overtime being extended longer than initially expected. The Employer submits that this has never been the practice, that it is contrary to the Agreement, and that it would be impractical.

The grievance fails. Application of the article in question as the Union seeks to have it interpreted is clearly not what the parties intended. Indeed, it would be unworkable where the original work shift extension overtime is only for one hour, as it quite often is.

'Golden' Anniversary: 30-Year-Old Decision Is Fabric Of Land Use Law, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The famous New York case of Golden v. Ramapo helped create the movement towards smart growth thirty years ago. Ramapo, like most other towns in New York struggled with the familiar quandary of how to balance the pressures of absorbing growth while still controlling urban sprawl. Ramapo’s solution, to greatly reduce development in its jurisdiction for eighteen years in order to research more efficient development methods, sparked much controversy with local land owners. The United States Court of Appeals, in one of New York’s most significant contributions to smart growth, upheld Ramapo’s plan and created a groundbreaking precedent still widely …

Microsoft And The European Union Face Off Over Internet Privacy Concerns, Seagrumn Smith

Duke Law & Technology Review

This iBrief explores the European Data Privacy Directive and seeks to explain why the European Commission believes .Net Passport may be in violation of its privacy policies and a case for further investigation.

National Health Policy Forum

This issue brief notes the five-year anniversary of the effective date of Title XXI of the Social Security Act, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

It also highlights the emerging issue of program retention and the need …

Translated Opinions

Facts: The Special Education Law, 1998, provides that the State must provide special education, as per the definition of that term in the statute.

Estate Of Strangi, Section 2036, And The Continuing Relevance Of Byrum, Brant J. Hellwig

Scholarly Articles

This report analyzes the potential application of section 2036(a) to limited partnerships employed for estate planning purposes, using the facts of Tax Court case of Estate of Strangi v. Commissioner as a guide. Particular emphasis is placed on the Commissioner's argument for inclusion under section 2036(a)(2) based on the taxpayer's control over the property transferred to the partnership, as well as the taxpayer's argument under the Supreme Court case of United States v. Byrum that the existence of the taxpayer's fiduciary duty to the partnership negates the application of section 2036 altogether. The report concludes that, because the essential facts …

Waiting To Exhale?: Global Warming And Tax Policy, Roberta Mann

American University Law Review

This article explores the links between energy policy, tax policy and global warming. This article focuses on tax policy, because the emerging consensus among legal scholars favors economic incentives rather than command-and-control regulations for reaching environmental goals, and the Federal income tax has proved an effective delivery system for economic incentives.

After briefly discussing of the science of global warming and the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, the article reviews the impact of both existing tax law and current proposals for energy legislation on global warming, as well as potential international law consequences of failure to act …

Weir River Area Of Critical Environmental Concern: Natural Resources Inventory, Urban Harbors Institute, University Of Massachusetts Boston

Urban Harbors Institute Publications

The Weir River Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) was designated by the Massachusetts Secretary of Environmental Affairs in 1986 in recognition of one of the largest and most productive salt marsh ecosystems in the Boston Harbor area. As an ACEC, the region is afforded additional attention and protection from state agencies in order to achieve the goals of designation--to restore, enhance, and manage the resources. The region was nominated by residents of the abutting communities of Hull, Hingham, and Cohasset who took the opportunity to call attention to the uniqueness of the environment and to their concerns that development …

Software Patents: What One-Click Buy And Safe Air Travel Have In Common, Michael Guntersdorfer

Duke Law & Technology Review

Have you ever sat in an airplane, typing on your laptop, when the darn thing crashes for the one-millionth time? Have you ever then thought about how the airplane you are sitting in is controlled by software, too--the technical term being "fly by wire"--and then started sweating uncontrollably? Software controls not only air traffic but plenty of other safety-critical technologies: the tightrope walk of controlling the chain reaction of radioactive elements in nuclear power plants; the navigation and activation of missiles;3 the moves and cutting-depth of a surgical laser when correcting eye-sights; the list goes on... With such reliance on …
