Smyth Vs Pillsbury Company Case

Decent Essays
I thik you should be held accoutable for the thigs you post online. I think this because if someone was aware that their oline presence was being looked at, that might prevent them from making negeative statements online that could potentially create unwanted drama. I think the virtuous lens would be best to adress this question, bcause it persuades people to be "good", and do what is morally right.
I do agree with the outcome of the Smyth vs Pillsbury Company case. If Smyth had used his own personal email, rather than the company's email, the story most likely would have turne out differently. But because he used a professional company email, where there was no where stated in the policy that privcy would be given, it seemed obvious to me

    Q1 The main inquiry in Baker v. Carr was in the case of redistricting was a legitimate issue the courts could deliver proactively to revise manhandle or a political issue. The state contended that it was a political issue, so the courts had no purview. The case demonstrated a standout amongst the most debilitating in the Supreme Court's history, with the choice held over for re-contention on the grounds that the court couldn't achieve a lion's share choice. Equity Charles Evans Whittaker was so resentful about the case, he at long last recused himself from the choice, and the worry over the choice may have added to his initial retirement from the Court.…

    One of the hallmarks of Stephen Harper’s tenure as Prime Minister was the adversarial relationship between Parliament and the courts. His government was “openly hostile towards the judicial branch” and often failed to take its Charter duties seriously. Harper’s lack of deference for the right and freedoms entrenched in the Charter led to several of his government’s laws being struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada. Conversely, the appeal of Frank v. Canada was a victory for the Conservative government – although the impugned legislation had been enacted over a decade before Harper became Prime Minister. It is still possible for the challenged sections of the Canada Elections Act to be declared unconstitutional, however, as the case is being appealed in the SCC.…

    The case of Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. v. Saskatchewan, 2005 SCC 13, [2005] 1S.C.R. 188 is considered very controversial as it questions the national public health concern that is caused by the smoke of tobacco and can affect our youth in a negative way. What this cases focuses on is s. 6 of the Saskatchewan Tobacco Control act and how by the virtue of the paramountcy doctrine is inoperative due to the fact of s. 30 of the federal tobacco Act. The doctrine of paramountcy establishes that where there is a conflict between valid provincial and the federal law or its purpose, the federal law will prevail.

    The 1980 court case, Armstrong V. Kline, drew from parents of children with exceptionalities becoming upset with the education system’s 180-day school year rule1. Beginning in January of 1980, they decided that enough was enough and they needed to do something before summer vacation came so, their child/children would not lose everything they learned during the school year1. The parents took on the court case, filing three class action lawsuits, all of which were against Caryl Kline, the secretary of education and chief official of the Department of Education1. The result of this particular case relieved me but, the fact it had to become a court case, I found to be absolutely ridiculous. Also, the terminology they used while describing the…
