	Decree - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In Roman law, a decree (decretum) was the decision of the emperor, as the supreme judicial officer, settling a case which had been referred to him.
		In English law decree was more particularly the judgment of a court of equity, but since the Judicature Acts the expression "judgment" is employed in reference to the decisions of all the divisions of the supreme court.
		A "decree nisi" is the conditional order for a dissolution of marriage made by the divorce court, and it is made "absolute" after six months (which period may, however, be shortened) in the absence of sufficient cause shown to the contrary.

	Scourge Preview: Decree of Annihilation
		Decree of Annihilation is the Apocalypse for a new age.
		Decree of Annihilation is the card Astral Slide has needed to wipe the floor with the decks that have been holding it back.
		Because its "Armageddon" effect is a cycling one, using Decree of Annihilation in the Astral Slide deck allows the Slide player to protect his Exalted Angel the same turn that he wipes the floor with the opponent's board.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Decree
		In respect of the general legislative acts of the pope there is never doubt as to the universal extent of the obligation; the same may be said of the decrees of a General Council, e.g.
		The decrees of a national council may not be promulgated until they have received the approval of the pope.
		If the decrees are extra-synodal, they have force only during the lifetime of the bishop or until he revokes them himself.

	Decree of the Council of Jerusalem, part 2: The Decree
		A decree only to gentiles (whether in the original setting or in Luke's readership) is an inadequate basis for fellowship because the gentiles were given fewer rules than the Pharisees wanted them to have.
		The decree is presented as easy to comply with, not a burden, something the gentiles may have already been in compliance with.
		The decree is given in answer to people who taught that gentiles had to keep the law of Moses.

	EL - PRESIDENTIAL DECREE
		It is immaterial for application of this Presidential Decree whether the controlled undertaking located in a Community Member State constitutes, in its turn, a controlling undertaking within the framework of a different group of undertakings.
		For the purposes of this Presidential Decree, 'controlling undertaking' means the undertaking, located in Greece, forming part of a group and which can exercise a dominant influence over another undertaking ('the controlled undertaking') by virtue, for example, of ownership, financial participation or rules governing it on other grounds.
		Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the obligations arising from this Presidential Decree shall not apply to Community-scale undertakings or Community-scale groups of undertakings in which agreements covering the workforce as a whole already exist or will be concluded by 22 September 1996 and which provide for the transnational information and consultation of employees.

	Brazil's Giant Step Backward on Indigenous Rights
		The government's ostensible rationale for the Decree is that it was necessary to avert the threat that the Supreme Court might find indigenous reserves unconstitutional because their demarcation had been carried out without allowing all nonindigenous parties with any interests in the indigenous areas to contest the boundaries and enter counter claims to the land.
		Decree 1775 in effect creates precisely the catastrophe against which it ostensibly serves to protect, retroactively invalidating all reservations established under Decree 22 as unconstitutional, thus removing their legal protection and rendering them potentially vulnerable to revocation, partition and legalized invasion at the hands of the anti-indigenous interests that have clamorously supported the new decree.
		Jobim's argument that Decree 22 was unconstitutional because it omitted the "direito ao contraditorio" of nonindigenous parties with interests in Indian lands was originally developed as the basis of this brief, and formed the basis of the Barbalho government's attack on indigenous reserves.

	Noise Nuisance by Railways Decree: Explanatory memorandum
		This Decree also includes rules for noise sensitive buildings other than dwellings and for terrains belonging to the most noise sensitive category of buildings, such as psychiatric institutions and institutions for the care of the mentally handicapped.
		Subsection 2 provides that the rules of the Decree are not applicable when the local zoning plan procedure is followed if buildings are present or under construction in the zone of railways that are present or under construction at the time of establishment or revision of the local zoning plan.
		If, however, measures to limit noise are instituted between the Decree's entry into force and the railway modification (one can think, for example, of screens in the context of clean-up), then it has been determined that the value of the noise load after the institution of measures will be adhered to as the limit value.

	Metropolis Records: Decree
		Decree is finally following up its 1996 album with a new, loudspeaker-blowing CD after a hefty delay.

		Although Decree wasn't official at that time, a lot of the first album's material was produced in that era.

	Megarian Decree
		Of course the Megarians would complain in Sparta, but Pericles, who was a personal friend of the Spartan king Archidamus II, knew that the Spartan government was not prepared to go to war for the sake of a Corinthian-Athenian conflict.
		In Thucydides' view, the complaints about the Megarian Decree were mere pretexts for war, and were not the real cause, which he seeks in something that looks more like a philosophical statement about human nature than a historical explanation.
		When the [Athenian] Assembly convened to consider the matter, Pericles, who far excelled all his fellow citizens in skill of oratory, persuaded the Athenians not to rescind the action, saying that for them to accede to the demands of the Spartans, contrary to their own interests, would be the first step toward slavery.

		Guerrero may have acted under the influence of José María Tornel, who hoped the decree would be a check on American immigration, or he may have issued it as a personal measure because his enemies accused him of being partly of African descent.
