Download or read book HC 321 Respect Policy written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee on Standards and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measures and policies to protect employees from bullying and harassment are a common way to ensure that employers fulfill their contractual obligations and their statutory duties to their employees: their existence does not mean that an employer has a problem. In June 2011 the House of Commons Commission agreed such a policy-the "Respect Policy"-to deal with possible bullying and harassment by Members or their staff towards House of Commons staff. That policy had two facets: an informal procedure and a more formal procedure. Although well intentioned, in practice there were at least two flaws in the formal part of the Respect Policy: investigations were undertaken by a House of Commons official, who might be considered to have an interest; and Members had no right of appeal if a complaint was upheld while staff could appeal if it was dismissed. The formal part of the procedure was therefore suspended in November 2012. In March 2014 the House of Commons Commission agreed a further draft of the revised Respect Policy and the unions considered that draft to be "a basis for an effective and proportionate policy". The Respect policy now has four stages, rather than two: stage one: internal resolution (issue raised and possible mediation), stage two: internal resolution (formal grievance meeting), stage three: Commissioner for Standards (consideration), stage four: Commissioner for Standards (investigation and possible referral to the Committee on Standards). The Committee is content for the House of Commons Commission to conclude an agreement with the unions based on the draft Respect Policy

The recent constitutional changes covered in this new edition include: * The 27th Amendment abolished the constitutional jus soli right to Irish Nationality. * The 28th Amendment allowed the State to ratify the Lisbon Treaty. * The 29th Amendment relaxed the prohibition on the reduction of the salaries of Irish judges. * The 30th Amendment allowed the State to ratify the European Fiscal Compact. * The 31st Amendment was a general statement of children's rights and a provision intended to secure the power of the State to take children into care. * The 33rd Amendment mandated a new Court of Appeal * The 34th Amendment prohibited restriction on civil marriage based on sex. * The 36th Amendment allowed the Oireachtas to legislate for abortion. New sections include a look at the impact of the Constitution on substantive criminal law, and a detailed treatment of the impact of Article 40.5, protecting the inviolability of the dwelling, on both criminal procedure and civil law. Other sections have been expanded with in-depth analysis of referendums, challenges to campaigns and results, coverage of Oireachtas privilege, changes in constitutional interpretation, private property rights, and judicial independence. In particular extensive rewriting has taken place on the section dealing with the provisions relating to the courts contained in Article 34 following the establishment of the Court of Appeal and the far-reaching changes to the appellate structure from the 33rd Amendment of the Constitution Act 2013.

Download or read book Human dignity and fundamental rights in South Africa and Ireland written by Anne Hughes and published by PULP. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-apartheid South Africa has yielded enlightened judicial decisions in contrast to the limited interpretation of human rights in Ireland. The value of human dignity with its central position in international law underpins both countries’ Constitutions, but has left a more striking mark in South Africa. There it has impacted significantly on punishment for crimes, family life, children’s rights, defamation, sexual violence investigations, substantive equality and socio-economic rights. Practical guidance can be gleaned from South Africa to revitalise Irish jurisprudence. While its focus is on South Africa and Ireland, this book draws on the experience of many countries and regions.

Download or read book International Medical Malpractice Law written by Dieter Giesen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is the most comprehensive comparative law study of legal responsibility arising from medical care presently available. It is written for doctors as well as health care administrators and legal professionals. Focusing on the problems of civil liability, it presents the development, points of contact with, and differences between the modern law of medical liability stemming from both the Common Law and Civil Law traditions of England, Scotland, Eire, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States, South Africa, France, Belgium, West Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. It demonstrates the extent to which both problems of medical law and trends towards their solution are already familiar in these legal systems. The work describes principles and trends, not by confronting the reader with national reports' and separate chapters on different legal systems; rather, the relevant legal problems are analyzed from an integrative, comparative viewpoint. The main thrust of the presentation is the analysis of numerous court decisions -- the number of which is rising ominously in the United States -- on the civil liability of doctors and hospitals for damages arising from substandard treatment or inadequate disclosure of information to the patient. References to the legal and medical literature, indexes, and a refined system of cross-references, together with an important collection of appendices covering legal and ethical declarations make this work accessible as a handbook and reference work for the legal and social problems encountered today in the wide area of law, ethics, and medicine.
