Answer As Sarah Christie said in ‘An Introduction to Scots Criminal Law’: “So far as offences against society are concerned, breach of the peace is perhaps the most broadly defined and frequently used” . The courts still refer to Hume’s definition in which he: “considered a breach of the peace to be less than mobbing and rioting but tending to disturb and alarm the neighbourhood.” However, as it is a common-law crime the definition has developed through case law. The main issue in the present…

compensation. The law commission report states that the literal rule assumed ‘an unattainable perfection in draftmanship’, and ‘ignores the limitations of language, Thus, ‘not infrequently’’ even the house of lords have differed over the ‘so-called “plain meaning” of…

According to Merriam-Webster online, a rule is defined as, “a usually written order or direction made by a court regulating court practice or the action or parties, or a legal precept or doctrine.” Rules are a necessity for civilized society because without them everything would turn to chaos.

Neser first contends that the Board erred in looking beyond the text of the HCGPP to glean the intent of the provision involving call-in pay. Neser argues that the text is unambiguous, and as such the Board was unjustified in looking to extrinsic sources to discern the HCGPP’s meaning.
