Construction period is the us in most places, roads and buildings in the USA around us will slow down the work of our Spring and summer commutes. May be easy for members of the public may be irritating to the construction, it is also important to note that employees who actually risk their lives in order to improve our communities.

The construction of the life risk has proved to be a fatal crane accident all the time recently in New York. the 30-year-old man was working on the project when things went awry metro. His everyday work proved to be deadly as the crane, and led to his death, as well as some of the other employees in the injury cable.

Sources indicate that in the course of the investigation so far, as it was bad timing. According to the auditor's reports, the Buildings Department has attempted to evaluate the crane January routine during the inspection. However, because of the crane was used, you will need a my?h?isemm?lle inspection. The inspection was supposed to take place yesterday, just two days after a fatal construction accident has occurred.

During the inspection of defects found in the mobile crane-other lifting devices in the system. Since these faults, if any, to apply to the result of the cable, it is only natural to be blank, that the inspection of the crane does not take place sooner. There is not enough only to be postponed for verification of the DOB. Crane operators is also a legal responsibility to inspect cranes on the basis of the everyday.

It seems that the ball was removed from the case, with the underground construction site safety. The victim's family for the loss of the factorial of a number, the search for justice. This is not only a safety issue that is responsible for the work, which went wrong, officials are taking this recent incident a serious construction company.

China rights lawyer jailed for 2 years, 8 months - Reuters

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

BEIJING | Mon Apr 9, 2012 10:03pm EDT

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese court sentenced a disabled lawyer renowned for defending people evicted from their homes to two years and eight months in prison on Tuesday for causing a disturbance and fraud, Beijing's latest use of a controversial law to stifle dissent.

The lawyer, Ni Yulan, and her husband, Dong Jiqin, were detained in April 2011 and later convicted of the charges. Rights activists contend the charges were trumped up in an effort to silence the couple.

Dong was given two years in prison, also for "causing a disturbance", a court official told reporters at the courthouse in a western suburb of Beijing.

Ni's imprisonment is the latest signal of the ruling Communist Party's determination to stifle China's civil rights movement, which is reeling from the jailing of several dissidents in recent months.

The party is especially wary of political challenges ahead of a leadership succession later this year.

Ni has been an outspoken advocate for Chinese residents forced from their homes to make way for development, often for what residents say is grossly inadequate compensation.

Prosecutors alleged that Ni, who is disabled and wheel chair-bound, and Dong beat employees at a hotel - or what Ni has previously called a "black jail" - where they were forced to stay after their home was demolished in 2008.

A "black jail" is an informal detention site, such as a hotel or government guesthouse, used to hold protesters and petitioners without resorting to legal procedures.

Pickton inquest lawyer explains why official is on leave

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

A lawyer involved in B.C.'s missing women's inquiry into the Robert Pickton case is cautioning the public against reading anything into the fact that the commission's executive director is on leave.

Peter Gall, who is advising the inquiry on the investigation, said the commission only wants to ensure there is no perception of possible interference with the conduct of an investigation into staff in its office.

The National Post reported Wednesday that former commission employees complained staff in the commission's office made derogatory comments about other employees and sex workers.

Based on anonymous sources, the allegations didn't specify who the accusations were directed at.

The newspaper subsequently published another article based on an anonymous source, complaining that executive director John Boddie was too involved in preparing witnesses for testimony.

Boddie went on leave Monday and two lawyers are now investigating the allegations.

"Because Mr. Boddie manages the work flow of the staff, it was considered necessary to have Mr. Boddie temporarily go on leave from his position during the course of the investigation," Gall said in a statement.

"Given the high profile nature of the commission and the recent focus on its inner workings, this was done to ensure that there would be no perception of possible interference with the conduct of the investigation."

Gall said people should not jump to conclusions that there have been any findings of wrongdoing on Boddie's part.

In fact, Gall said Boddie has "contributed greatly" to the commission's work, and it is "most unfortunate that his leave from his position is being interpreted in some quarters as a finding of wrongdoing on his part."

Commissioner Wally Oppal weighed in on the issue Thursday, issuing a statement saying it's difficult to respond to anonymous and vague accusations.

One family member of a missing woman also raised concerns.

Lillian Beaudoin, whose sister Dianne Rock was murdered by Pickton, said the commission is being drowned out by persistent controversies.

Several participant groups, including aboriginal organizations and sex worker advocates, withdrew from the inquiry last year after the provincial government announced it wouldn't fund them legally.

Last month, Robyn Gervais, an independent lawyer appointed by Oppal to represent First Nations, resigned, saying the inquiry was too focused on police and not aboriginal women.

"This inquiry was to find out what happened to the missing women, how they can improve anything for the missing girls, what the police did wrong," said Beaudoin outside the hearings Thursday.

"We have very little time remaining, and a lot of witnesses to go through. To add more stories like this, to me it feels like a diversion away from what this whole inquiry is all about."

The inquiry is examining why Vancouver police and the RCMP failed to catch Pickton.

The serial killer was eventually convicted of six counts of Second Degree Murder and accused in the deaths of numerous other women.

Lawyer: psychics protected by Constitution

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 9 (UPI) -- Lawyers representing a Florida family of psychics charged with fraud and conspiracy says the family is protected by freedom of religion and free speech.

Nine members of a fortune-telling Fort Lauderdale family of Roma decent led by Rose Marks were arrested in August on federal fraud conspiracy charges and accused of defrauding their clients of $40 million, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Sunday.

The nine family members are free on bail, but are barred from fortune telling or working as spiritual healers while they await trial.

Now, in an effort to get the charges dismissed before the proposed November trial date, defense lawyers argued the family members had a constitutional right to practice fortune telling and spiritual healing because it is a part of their religious beliefs and that fortune telling is protected by freedom of speech.

"Nancy Marks' conduct is rooted in her religion and spirituality," attorney Michael Gottlieb wrote in a 24-page legal document about religious rights. "Based upon this prosecution, the defendant has lost her livelihood and has been unable to make a living using her historical religious and spiritual gifts."

In his request to have the family's charges dismissed, Gottlieb compared their actions to "religious teachers, preachers, and healers and demon chasers," evangelists and the Psychic Friends Network, who have televised shows that often ask for donations.

"Yet none of these individuals... endure the constant derogatory label of being called a Gypsy for simply exercising their faith or practicing their chosen profession. Nor are they vilified and persecuted and prosecuted for espousing their beliefs and profiting ... even when their predictions fall short, miss the mark or are at odds with other genuinely accepted beliefs," Gottlieb wrote.

Prosecutors have not yet responded to the request and the judge is expected to rule on the matter in the next several weeks after hearing from both sides.

ABS trailblazers revealed

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Wednesday 28 March 2012 by John Hyde

The Solicitors Regulation Authority today announced the identities of the first three alternative business structures.

The Co-operative Legal Services, John Welch & Stammers and Lawbridge Solicitors are the first to have their applications approved. They can now provide reserved legal activities while owned and managed by non-lawyers, under the terms of the Legal Services Act.

The SRA has spent almost three months processing more than 180 applications from a range of businesses.

Co-op Legal Services, set up in 2006, employs 400 staff and has plans to add a further 150 this year. ABS status will allow it to diversify into family law later this year, to complement services in personal injury claims, will writing, probate, conveyancing and employment law.

Operating in Witney, Oxfordshire, since 1932, John Welch & Stammers has seven fee earners and 11 support staff.

Practice manager Bernadette Summers will now be appointed as a non-lawyer managing partner to join two existing solicitor partners.

Lawbridge Solicitors, based in Sidcup, Kent, has one solicitor, Michael Pope, who will now be joined in the shareholding by his wife Alison, practice manager.

SRA chief executive Antony Townsend said the announcement is a culmination of two years’ work: ‘By stimulating competition and encouraging innovation, we should see consumers’ experiences enjoy a major boost.

‘Some people may be surprised that there are two high street practices with a handful of staff among the first wave of ABS organisations that we’ve authorised. But we’ve always said that ABS offers options for all firms.’

Justice minister Jonathan Djanogly said customers will find legal services ‘more accessible’ and the service ‘more competitive and efficient’.

Djanogly added: 'Our UK legal services are unrivalled around the world and these changes will allow them to reach new heights, as solicitors’ firms develop new markets, seek external investment and join up with other businesses to offer different products to consumers and provide opportunities for growth.'

The Law Society has congratulated all three practices on being the first to receive the ABS licence and said the trio all reflect the opportunities that non-lawyer ownership can offer.

John Wotton, president of the Law Society, said: 'The Co-operative Group is a well-known brand on the high street, with a substantial profile and a strong reputation for ethical business.

'I’d like to welcome Co-operative Legal Services into the Law Society fold. Lawbridge Solicitors and John Welch & Stammers are existing law firms who have taken an innovative step in adopting new ownership structures.’

He added that the latest development would introduce new ways of working and increase choice for consumers and corporate clients.

David Edmonds, chair of the Legal Services Board, stressed that while regulation has a part to play in the new era, it must not restrict growth.

'Breaking down barriers to entry and freeing the ways in which firm can operate is key. But the change and innovation has to be provider-led. We will be working to make sure that regulation does not create inappropriate barriers and targets risk. Supervision must be proportionate.’
