Law Making

This chapter examines the relationship between parliamentarism and the legislative branch. It explores the evolution of the legislative branch, leading to disillusionment with the rationalized law-making factory, a venture run by political parties beyond the reach of constitutional rules. The rise of democratically bred party rule is positioned between the forces favouring free debate versus effective decision-making in the legislature. The chapter analyses the institutional make-up and internal operations of the legislature, the role of the opposition in the legislative assembly, and explores the benefits of bicameralism for boosting the powers of the legislative branch. Finally, it looks at the law-making process and its outsourcing via delegating legislative powers to the executive.

The Law

The role of proportionality and individual assessments in EU residency and welfare access cases has changed significantly over the course of the last decade. This article demonstrates how a search for certainty and efficiency in this area of EU law has created greater uncertainty, more legal hurdles for citizens, and less consistency in decision-making at the national level. UK case law illustrates the difficulty faced by national authorities when interpreting and applying the rules relating to welfare access and proportionality. Ultimately, the law lacks the consistency and transparency that recent CJEU case law seeks to obtain, raising the question of whether the shift from the Court's previous, more flexible, case-by-case approach was desirable after all.

The course included discussion of issues in criminal law, such as the psychology of policing, the reliability of confessions, victimization, plea bargaining, jury decision making, and alternative dispute resolution, and in civil law, such as civil commitment, predicting dangerousness, and child custody. Course objectives, requirements, and teaching aids are outlined, and some thoughts on integrating these diverse topics are included.

In this article, an algorithm has been introduced that enables judges to see the decisions that should be made in a way that is closest to the conscience and the law, without transferring the cases to the higher authorities, without anyone objecting to their decisions. This algorithm has been introduced depending on the generalized set-valued neutrosophic quadruple numbers and the Euclidean similarity measure in sets, what the decision is made by considering all the situations, regardless of which case the defendants come before the judge, how similar these decisions are to the legal decisions that should be made. In this way, we can easily see the decisions given to the accused in all kinds of cases, and we can arrange the decisions according to the similarity value. The closer the similarity value is to 1, the more correct the judge's decision from a legal point of view.

The authors comment on the capacity of the law to resolve problems concerning public participation in energy questions. Problems of clarity of language and consensus about objects arise in most public debates about energy. Although a particular public participation exercise may be intended to treat issues related to one policy level, questions invariably arise concerning other policy levels, be they strategic or operational. Ideally, the timing of public debate should be determined in function of the ends such debates are expected to serve, but this is difficult because of the diverse functions to be served by participation. As well, the exercise is less clear because of problems of access to and manipulation of information. Nevertheless, impartial decision-making is still perceived as leading to the best results, although the inherent limits of public participation are recognized. In the final analysis, the problems posed by public participation are not ones the law, which is contentious in orientation, can remedy.

The author examines the character of the changes taking place in contemporary Serbian society. He emphasizes at the same time that contemporary Serbian philosophy is facing these crucial questions as well, which without it cannot be even addressed, let alone solved. The key difference between modern West European and contemporary Serbian societies, seen from the perspective of philosophy, is demonstrated most clearly in the manner of constituting institutions and transforming the modern Serbian society. In the process of building modern institutions philosophy, not just in our country but throughout the Slavic East, has not had the role it played in Europe. Here lies the explanation why natural consciousness and an original ethos, though considerably modified, still remain unadapted and today represent a major obstacle to the establishment of the rule of European law. Without a change in the sense of justice and respect for the law it is impossible to accomplish the transformation of the society in which the law recognized by a democratic state could not be super ordinate to any reason. The crucial role of philosophy in this process is seen by the author not only in establishing modern European institutions and acceptance of the principle of European legislation, but above all in its influence on the transformation of the original ethos and establishment of new criteria on which the reflection, decision making and action of any individual would be based. .

Sometimes there is a doubt in society, especially Muslims today about food and consumables that have been mixed in terms of content. The purpose of this study is to see the extent of istihlak and istihalah methods in the production of a halal product in Malaysia. Library studies have been used in establishing the basis of decision making for these two methods, views and differences of opinion between the fuqaha on various fiqh school of thought are also highlighted based on their main books. Furthermore, istihlak and istihalah's position in halal product processing in Malaysia is reviewed by examining the enactments and related acts. In addition, the fatwa and legal provisions decided by the authorized party, The National Council of Fatwa Commitee Malaysia were also reviewed to evaluate the application of this method more thoroughly. The study found that istihlak and istihalah methods used in the production of halal products in Malaysia are only in a narrow and restricted context as practice in the Syafie school of thought. Priority to the Syafie school of thought which is the official sects of the country in the determination and interpreting of the law and fatwa continues to be maintained in order to safeguard the harmony and well-being of society in general. ABSTRAK Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat sejauhmana kaedah istihlak dan istihalah diterima dalam  menentukan penghasilan sesuatu produk halal di Malaysia. Kajian perpustakaan telah digunakan dalam menetapkan asas penetapan hukum  bagi kedua-dua kaedah ini, pandangan dan perbezaan pendapat antara fuqaha mazhab juga diketengahkan berdasarkan kitab-kitab utama mereka. Seterusnya kedudukan istihlak dan istihalah dalam pemprosesan produk halal di Malaysia dikaji dengan meneliti enakmen dan akta berkaitan. Selain itu, fatwa dan ketetapan hukum yang diputuskan pihak yang diberi kuasa iaitu Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Fatwa Majlis Kebangsaan Bagi Hal Ehwal Ugama Islam Malaysia juga diteliti untuk menilai pemakaian kaedah ini secara lebih menyeluruh. Kajian mendapati kaedah istihlak dan istihalah yang digunakan dalam penghasilan produk halal di Malaysia hanya dalam konteks yang sempit dan terhad sahaja sebagaimana amalan dalam mazhab Syafie. Keutamaan kepada mazhab Syafie yang menjadi pegangan rasmi negara dalam menentu dan mentafsirkan hukum serta fatwa terus dikekalkan demi menjaga keharmonian dan kesejahteraan masyarakat secara amnya.

Defamation Law

Online communication continues to pose challenges for the law and the administration of justice. One such challenge concerns its propensity to give rise to small defamation claims between ordinary people given the often-enormous costs of litigating defamation claims before the ordinary courts. This article promotes a reform agenda directed to meeting this challenge by (1) demonstrating the need for a proportionate means for resolving small defamation claims, having regard to access to justice considerations and other wider concerns; (2) establishing reasonable grounds for seriously considering deploying the traditional small-claims-proportionate response – small claims jurisdictions – for this purpose notwithstanding contraindications including the infamous complexity of defamation law; and (3) advancing a research pathway for the proportionate treatment of small defamation claims to guide decision-making and innovation. This article also advocates for consideration of this important issue in the ‘national reform process’ launched in 2018 for Australian defamation law.
