Self-determination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The purpose of the self determination clause was to allow the former colonies that existed before World War II to have a say in their future. However, some felt that after decolonization the right to self-determination should apply only to states and not to peoples, and to be circumscribed by the principles of territorial integrity and non-intervention. Self-determination is a theoretical principle now embodied in international law that a people ought to be able to determine their own governmental forms and structures. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Self-determination   (984 words)

Expert determination: when a court can intervene - UK Commercial Property Law Developments (Legal500.com) Even though the expert may have made an error in his determination, he had carried out his task correctly (the test laid down in Jones), and it would be wrong to interfere with a non-speaking determination by seeking to second-guess the reasons which had led to that determination. As reported in the commercial property briefing in IHL 64, October 1998 ('Expert determination: court intervention', page 49), in National Grid a lease of an electricity substation provided that the rent at review was to be settled by an expert if the parties could not agree it. This is inherent in the expert determination process, which generally leads to a quick and relatively inexpensive result. www.icclaw.com /devs/uk/cp/ukcp_092.htm   (768 words)

A&L Goodbody Solicitors: Litigation and Dispute Resolution Expert Determination is appropriate for disputes where the issue or dispute between the parties is one of quantum i.e., value, or an issue of a technical nature. Expert Determination is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution whereby the parties to a contract agree to be bound by the decision of an independent third party: “the Expert”.

Current Protocols in Toxicology CO determination can be used to study HO activity in all types of tissue at various stages of tissue fractionation and in tissue slices. Several methods for the determination of HO activity in animal tissues have been described. Further, because CO is the only gas generated, in equimolar quantities, from the degradation of heme to biliverdin or bilirubin in the presence of NADPH and O2 (Vreman et al., 1988), use of the reduction gas detector makes this assay specific for the detection of HO activity. www.does.org /masterli/cptx_featured_protocol.html   (4601 words)

EXTERNAL SELF DETERMINATION Concretely, it refers to the political objective of the people of Quebec to secure State power necessary for the exercise of their collective rights, which is the essence of the right to self-determination. It would be difficult to argue that the demand for independent Statehood in Quebec is a result primarily of the ineffective implementation of internal self-determination. The right to independent Statehood was guaranteed by Clause 4, which enabled the "dependent peoples…to exercise peacefully and freely their right to complete independence, and the integrity of their national territory shall be respected". www.sangam.org /ANALYSIS/external_self_determination.htm   (1792 words)

Proposed Rules on Disclosures Required by Sections 404, 406 and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 In this context, the SEC stated its view that the mere designation of the financial expert should not impose a higher degree of individual responsibility or obligation on a member of the audit committee nor should designation of a financial expert decrease the duties and obligations of the other audit committee members. Moreover, the Commission observed that it does not intend that any audit committee financial expert be considered an "expert" for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act solely as a result of his or her designation. In determining whether a potential financial expert has all the requisite attributes, the board of directors must evaluate the totality of a person's experience and education. www.thelenreid.com /articles/article/art_151.htm   (4492 words)

Peter Suber, "Self-Determination and Selfhood" The courts were right to try to find a way to enforce Nancy's own self-determination; the case was hard only because that task was hard. Unfortunately, what the social theory of the self shows is that there is no sharp borderline that one passes at age 18 or 21, but a border zone through which one passes continually as one develops throughout life. While in many respects the Supreme Court is the last bastion of American individualism, here it seems more moved by the social theory of the self. www.earlham.edu /~peters/writing/emerson.htm   (7706 words)

Self-Determination Theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Self-determination theory has been brought to many applied settings such as education, health care, parenting, work organizations, sports, and mental health. SDT is based on an organismic-dialectical meta-theory, which begins with the assumption that people are active organisms, with innate tendencies toward psychological growth and development, who strive to master ongoing challenges and to integrate their experiences into a coherent sense of self. This natural human tendency does not operate automatically, however, but instead requires ongoing nutriments and supports from the social environment in order to function effectively. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Self-Determination_Theory   (575 words)

Fenwick Elliott Dispatch :: Issue 17, November 2001 The expert determination agreement said that the decision was to be binding except in cases of manifest error and that the expert should give reasons. Thomas J said that it would not be right when considering whether there had been a manifest error in the determination and where further reasons had been given by way of clarification of the original reason, for the court merely to look at the terms of reference.
