This study argues against the contemporary project of acquiring the legal status of marriage for samesex unions. The preparatory normative approach identifies the religious wrong and the moral unacceptability of samesex sexual activity and liaisons. Legal norms are then superimposed to argue that, while criminalizing homosexual conduct is not now appropriate, the balance of public benefit weighs in favour of preventing samesex marriage, at least by not promoting it as giving it legal status would do. Most pointedly, this treatment is not excluded as a violation of rights, neither a right to freedom of association, nor a right to protection from discrimination, nor a right to equality.

This chapter considers the laws that affect trade unions and employment relations at a collective level, with the exception of strikes and other industrial action which are examined in Chapter 10. The chapter begins by considering the legal status of a trade union and the statutory concept of trade union independence. The applicability of trade union law to workers in the gig economy is also considered. The focus then shifts to the ways in which the law seeks to secure freedom of association, by provisions which protect and support union membership and activities including giving protection against discrimination and providing rights to time off for union duties and activities. The chapter then turns to the concept of recognition of unions for collective bargaining, and the legal rights that come with recognition. It also examines the statutory system for securing recognition. The relevance of the European Convention on Human Rights is considered throughout as are the changes made by the Trade Union Act 2016. The law relating to domestic and European works councils is also considered.

This article offers a short study of the conjugation of freedom of religion, freedom of association and the legal status of religions and churches. Human rights are elaborated as defined in international human rights law, accentuated by the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. A compliance case that came before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Serbia provides a national jurisprudential example useful for the analysis of relations between human rights and the legal status of a church. Analysis of the law is both horizontal and vertical: a description of norms is intertwined with a discussion of principles of identity and equality. The article explores whether the principles of human rights and freedoms and the norms regulating the legal status of a church are consistent with each other; whether these principles are independent and how their mutual relationship influences the application and interpretation of the law; and whether the norms prescribed by international law or in national jurisprudence can be applied independently of canon law, or whether application of the law has to take into account specific religious jurisdictions and relations between churches which are rooted in their autonomous canon law.

Abuse Of Law

The aim of the article is to investigate the reasons of legal nihilism and abuse of law origin, to find the optimal ways of overcoming these negative legal phenomena and, as a result, to solve legal conflicts in the activity of state authorities and local self-government, their officials, providing recommendations on introducing liability for law abusing. The process of establishing respect to the law is primarily connected with overcoming legal nihilism, legal conflicts and abuse of law limitation. Legal nihilism retards the decent development of the legal system, encumbers the access of society members to legal values and becomes a serious obstacle on the way of the formation of civil society. Specificity of any legal conflict lays in the fact that is its features and peculiarities are shown, seen and characterized from the position of law, specific legal norms and their requirements, decrees, orders to be perceived and evaluated differently by subjects of law A sense of respect together with legal awareness allows a person logically, reasonably, rationally evaluate and find the most suitable way of behavior and legitimate actions. When manifesting real respect here operates one of the important legal principles of civil society - respect for the rights and freedoms of others as their own. This principle is based on the necessity to keep away from any actions (inaction) so directly or indirectly worsening social or legal status of an individual. We mean here exclusion of not only unlawful actions, but also the facts of rude misuse of law. Factors of rude misuse of law are real assets of law practice, therefore, when understanding problems related to the establishment and development of legal awareness, legal culture, and respect for the law, it is necessary to consider the fact that legislation doesn`t forbid to do evil and is the abuse of law in its purest form. And it cannot be avoided, since law shouldn`t be ubiquitous, otherwise a person would be completely deprived of freedom. However, a civil society, betaking spiritual and moral potential capabilities, can create a certain exclusion zone for people challenging law abusing.

Предметом исследования являются правовые нормы уголовно-исполнительного законодательства, регулирующие вещные права лиц, отбывающих уголовные наказания в виде лишения свободы. Целью исследования является установление тождества и различия в правовом регулировании вещных прав осужденных, отбывающих наказание в исправительных учреждениях и воспитательных колониях. Основными методами исследования являются анализ и синтез, а также сравнительно-правовой метод. В результате исследования установлено, что, несмотря на общий правовой статус осужденных, отбывающих наказание в виде лишения свободы, правовое регулирование одних и тех же вещных прав в различных ведомственных актах существенно различается, что влечет множество пробелов в праве и правовых коллизий. К числу основных выводов по результатам исследования можно отнести то, что в воспитательных колониях разрешен оборот боеприпасов, летательных средств, зажигалок, алкогольной продукции (за исключением алкогольных напитков) и некоторые другие. Результаты исследования могут быть реализованы в правоприменительной практике сотрудников, исполняющих уголовные наказания в виде лишения свободы, а также в процессе профессиональной подготовки сотрудников уголовно-исполнительной системы.

This study seeks to examine the legal status of flat unit ownership rights between Law Number 5 of 1960 and Law Number 20 of 2011; by using normative legal research (statute approach and concept approach), this research concludes: the legal status of flat unit ownership certificate as stipulated in the Law Number 5 of 1960 and Law Number 20 of 2011 cannot be said to have a conflict of legal norms. The difference in interpretation of those laws can be resolved by: (1) The principle of lex specialis derogat lex generale, means specific laws (in this case is Law Number 20 of 2011 concerning Flats) overrides general laws (in this case is Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Law); (2) Article 16 paragraph (1) letter h of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Law provides: other rights not included in the previously mentioned rights will be stipulated in the law, as well as the temporary rights as referred to in article 53; thus, the term flat unit ownership certificate can be accepted because it does not conflict with applicable laws and regulations.

Government Regulation a Substitute for laws (Perppu) is president right to regulate something in terms of compelling urgency. Perppu issued by the president must be immediately determined by the House of Representatives to be declared rejected or accepted. Article 24C Constitution of Republic Indonesia 1945 stipulates that authority of Constitutional Court is to only examine the law against Constitution of Republic Indonesia 1945, not the Perppu. However, Constitutional Court through decision No. 138/PUU-VII/ 2009 states that the Constitutional Court has authority to examine  Perppu against  Constitution of Republic Indonesia 1945. The Perppu made by president make a new of legal norms that give rise to new legal status, new legal relationships and new legal consequences. Constitutional Court interprets that norms contained in Perppu are as binding as norms in the law. In conducting tests, Constitutional Court does not distinguish between formal and material laws.
