    Nora Lindsay Case Study

    The observations of Kirby P in this case provided that when the court is able to draw sufficient evidence from an informal document that the deceased intended to direct the bestowal of his or her property after death, such documents constituted the deceased’s Will. These observations were supported by Justice Hodgson’s in Costa v The Public Trustee of NSW. Justice Basten also identified from Pahlow-Silady v Siladi that the deceased’s understanding of the nature of the will is a relevant consideration in assessing intention. The case of The Public Trustee v Gerritsen was also referred to with respect to the third element from Hatsatouris. Justice Beech concluded that documents which are written and signed by the deceased do not require evidence of separate acts or words to support his or her intention that the document constitutes their…

    Revocation Hearing In The Gagnon Case

    In regards to the Cagnon case, a rule of law was established that not only afforded probationers their due process rights, but ensured those rights. The law states that if they were alleged to be in violation of the stipulations of their probation, which had been so ordered by the courts, they must be given the right to present their case at a revocation hearing before being incarcerated. In fact the probationer is given dates for two separate hearings; first they are granted a “preliminary hearing”, called a "pre-revocation hearing", or “Gagnon I hearing”, which determines whether they must be incarcerated while awaiting an actual second hearing, which is called the “revocation hearing” or “Gagnon II hearing” (Latessa and Smith 2011). It is possible that they can be released while awaiting the second…

    General Power Of Attorney In Florida

    In this discussion post, I will discuss the general power of attorney in the state of Florida. This form is very important, because it could be one of the biggest decisions you can make with your life. With a general power of attorney form, you need to make sure you grant this power to someone who you trust with your life as well as financial, health and legal affairs. I can also see this becoming pretty common for people who are retired. This allows them to have someone handle their money while they sit back and watch their money moving from a distance. I do see some positives coming from signing this document, but I think this transfer of power is very broad and can be a little tricky. This general power of attorney form is mainly popular…

    Assignment 2: Regulatory Issue In Health Care

    However, Janice and their three children faced apathy and immense prejudice from the Jackson Memorial Hospital in spite of the fact that Janice had the power of attorney for Lisa. Indeed, the healthcare institution refused to get information pertaining to the medical history of Lisa and informed Janice that her family could not be acknowledged or provided with any information since she was in an antigay state and city (Lambda legal, 2014). While there existed no medical reason why she should have been prevented from visiting Lisa, she and her family was prohibited from seeing Lisa for over 8 hours. Unfortunately, Lisa died and the prejudice and apathy continued, with the hospital withholding the death certificate from Janice, which prevented her from claiming her social security benefits and life insurance for the children (Lambda legal, 2014). In essence, Janice filed the lawsuit against the healthcare institution on her own behalf, as well as that of her three…

    Facts. Plaintiff and defendant lived together for seven years without marrying, with all property acquired during this time taken in defendant’s name. Plaintiff avers that she and defendant entered into an oral agreement where the parties would combine their efforts and earnings and share equally all property accumulated as a result of their efforts.

Defendant compelled plaintiff to leave his household in May of 1970, and continued to provide support to her until November of 1971. Thereafter, he refused to provide further support. Plaintiff brought suit to enforce the oral agreement, claiming that she was entitled to half the property and to support payments.
