University College Dublin is today officially opening what it says is Ireland’s first purpose-built university law school, following a €25m investment.
Designed by Molony O’Beirne architects, the UCD Sutherland School of Law measures over 5,100 square metres and is located on the edge of a newly designed and landscaped lakeside setting on the Belfield campus.
The €25m project was financed from a major leadership gift from Peter Sutherland SC, significant government investment under the National Development Plan 2007 – 2013, and gifts from other leading benefactors, major law firms and private donors.
According to UCD, teaching spaces in the new school are designed to promote the active engagement of students with the law. These include a clinical legal education centre where students can develop their advocacy, dispute resolution, client counselling and negotiation skills in simulated courtroom and office settings. The largest theatre in the facility also serves as a ceremonial moot court.
“UCD Sutherland School of Law will propel Ireland’s growing international reputation as a location for the study and research of law to the next level,” said UCD president, Dr Hugh Brady. “This outstanding new facility brings all of our research and teaching activities in the law into one single location to create a vibrant atmosphere where our scholars can share their knowledge and ideas and lead Ireland to the forefront of legal education and research.”
“It is through the singular vision and generosity of one of our most distinguished alumni Peter Sutherland that this development was made possible, and from which generations of students and scholars will enormously benefit.”
“Education is one of the most important benefits we can pass on to future generations,” said Sutherland. “The rule of law underpins the cohesiveness and prosperity of society, making a sound legal education one of the most important we can deliver.”
“The new school has been designed to further deepen a strong sense of community within a transformative educational environment where staff and students work together and flourish,” said Prof Colin Scott, dean of law at University College Dublin.
“The new building offers the school, for the first time, state-of-the-art facilities for research to engage with those who both use and inform its research, in meetings and seminars, but also through professional development conferences and courses at graduate diploma and master’s level.”


Our Umbrella PAYE is perfect for contractors who:
Build is perfect for contractors who:
a) A contractor providing their services via an employment intermediary is deemed to be under supervision, direction or control (SDC) when the end-user client directs the manner in which they provide those services – i.e. the end-user/client tells the contractor how to perform their duties. We check whether SDC is present on each and every assignment.
b) Since April 2016, contractors who fall under the supervision, direction and control of their end-user client are not entitled to claim tax-free expenses (including mileage), unless they provide their services from more than one workplace within the same assignment. If so, they are able to claim mileage from home to the secondary workplaces; or between workplaces if they travel to more than one during the same day.
Our products and services provide options whether contractors fall under the supervision, direction and control of the end-user, or not.
HMRC’s starting point is that all contractors providing their services via an employment intermediary are under the supervision, direction or control of the end-user.
If you need help determining whether your contractors fall under SDC, get in touch. Our SDC check has been developed in conjunction with the UK’s leading tax and employment law advisory bodies and is a robust mechanism for assessing SDC. Call us now on 020 3329 0235.
Temporary contractors providing their services via an employment intermediary, such as a recruitment agency, are unable to claim tax-free expenses (including mileage where they are travelling to a single site for the entire duration of their engagement), unless:
Contractors who provide their services via an employment intermediary are presumed to be under the supervision, direction or control of the end-user unless proved otherwise. Therefore, the agency and the end-user need to demonstrate that SDC is not present on an assignment. Due diligence and scrutiny of each and every assignment contract is required.
However, HMRC doesn’t tend to police SDC compliance by inspecting individual contracts within individual agencies. Instead, its focus is on businesses like Falcon Contract which are inspected regularly to check compliance with these regulations. It is our responsibility therefore to maintain robust and compliant processes and procedures. This also means that all risk lies with us. So your business is protected. Plus, if you want to audit us as part of your due diligence, we are happy to facilitate that.
Salary sacrifice is when employees receive non-taxable expense reimbursements instead of taxable salary. The new salary sacrifice rules mean pay cannot be varied by reference to the value of expenses. Authorised Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) fall outside of these rules and can be paid tax-free instead of salary as part of a weekly pay calculation.
Changes to legislation made in April 2016 affected when relief can be given for expenses incurred. The ability for contractors to vary their weekly salary depending on the amount of expenses claimed was removed for most expenses, although contractors who are eligible to claim tax-free expenses can claim them annually via their self-assessment tax return – which we can do on their behalf.
This legislation does not affect Authorised Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) – i.e. the 45p per mile claims that are paid to operatives when they use their own car for business travelling.
Our products and processes have been carefully designed under the supervision of the UK’s leading tax and employment law advisory bodies. Our systems and procedures have been and will continue to be audited by HMRC.


Germany’s Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains (Lieferkettengesetz) is a significant legislative milestone in promoting ethical business practices. This law holds German companies with at least 3,000 employees responsible for their supply chains, ensuring transparency, sustainability, and human rights. By addressing risks related to labor rights, human rights, and environmental concerns, this act seeks to create a more responsible business environment.
Key Features and Importance: The Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains emphasizes transparency, collaboration, and reporting. It compels companies to conduct thorough due diligence, assess risks in their supply chains, and mitigate any identified issues. By doing so, the law aims to protect human rights, prevent labor abuses, and minimize environmental harm. Compliance with this act is crucial not only for legal reasons but also for reputational benefits and aligning with international expectations for corporate responsibility.
Steps for Compliance: To comply with the Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains, companies should conduct comprehensive due diligence assessments, establish clear policies and procedures, engage with suppliers, implement reporting mechanisms, and commit to continuous improvement. By actively addressing potential risks, collaborating with suppliers, and adopting sustainable practices, businesses can ensure compliance and contribute to a more ethical and sustainable supply chain ecosystem.
Germany’s Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains sets a significant precedent for responsible business conduct. By holding companies accountable for their supply chains and promoting transparency, sustainability, and human rights, this legislation plays a crucial role in fostering ethical business practices. Compliance with this act is not only a legal requirement but also an opportunity for companies to strengthen their reputation, demonstrate commitment to social and environmental responsibility, and contribute to a more sustainable global marketplace.


Minnesota Governor Signs Bill for Laboratory Regulation!
Posted on May 7, 2012
Bill SF 288 Dental Laboratory Regulation has now been signed into law by the governor of Minnesota. The new law requires: Any dental laboratory physically located in the state of Minnesota to be issued a unique identification number and register with the state Board of Dentistry every two years, with an initial registration fee of $50 for the first two years and $25 every two years following; dentists practicing in the state of Minnesota must use the services of Minnesota registered dental laboratories for work performed in the state but dentists can direct a non-registered laboratory outside the state to manufacture or repair a prosthesis; laboratories must disclose the country of origin for where the technological work was performed in whole or in part as well as the name, address, and registration number of the laboratory performing the services either directly or indirectly; laboratories to provide dentists with a material content notice for each prosthetic appliance including the FDA compliancy of those materials to be included in the patient record (if the dentist uses an out-of-state laboratory, in-house laboratory, or manufactures or performs the repair on a prosthetic, it is the dentist's responsibility to obtain material content data, country of origin, and FDA material compliance to be included in the patient record. If a registered laboratory subcontracts services of another laboratory, the laboratory performing the work must provide the registered laboratory with a material content notice and country of origin). The effective date of the bill is January 1, 2013.

Half of the U.S. has now lost what the UN deems a fundamental human right: bodily autonomy. This panel unveils new research from Mindshare and GroupM, examining the sentiments of those most impacted by the eroding rights to privacy; and the growing expectation of advertisers to be part of the solution.
Learn how consumers across different backgrounds feel about bodily autonomy, the role brands and media platforms have in a post-Roe v. Wade world and what it means for the future of using women’s empowerment in marketing.
As civil liberties continue to be politicized, society is increasingly looking to the private sector as a moral compass. From Black Lives Matter to Voting Rights to Transgender equality and now Roe v. Wade — it has become more of an expectation that brands speak out or fear losing favor with employees and consumers alike.
Joining Mindshare and GroupM onstage in the discussion will be the Deputy Editor of The Cut (New York Magazine’s lifestyle culture and fashion brand), to highlight the media’s role in breaking down the deep cultural taboo of abortion, in light of NY Mag’s recent provocative cover “This Magazine Can Help You Get An Abortion.”

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Media,
On behalf of the President of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), I wish to announce that we have encountered the first anti-doping rule violation in the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.
This involves an athlete, Mr Shokir Muminov of Uzbekistan, the silver medalist of Men's 81kg of the Judo competition. His urine specimen collected on 14 November 2010 after the competition was found to contain Methylhexaneamine, a prohibited substance in the WADA Prohibited List 2010. This substance is a stimulant in category (S6) of the list.
After due process according to the rules and procedures of the OCA, it has been determined that the above finding constitutes an anti-doping rules violation and as such the following sanctions have been taken:
1. The athlete has been disqualified from the competition as well as these Games and his performance in the competition has been nullified, his medal withdrawn and appropriate adjustment made to the results.
2. These findings will now be forwarded to the athlete's national authorities, the International Federation of the sport concerned (International Judo Federation) and the World Anti-Doping Agency for further action on their part.
Dr Manikavasagam Jegathesan
Chairman of the Medical Committee of the OCA

When transporting personal effects abroad our clients should be aware that some items (awards, coins, icons, stamps, art works, sculptures etc.) might be classified as “cultural values (cultural property)” or “antiques”.
According to the current legislation “antiques” includes objects older than 50 years. Cultural values (cultural property) are objects of material and spiritual culture that have artistic, historical, ethnographic and scientific significance and are subject to preservation, recreation and protection in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine.
That’s why to avoid difficulties during customs control, it is necessary to obtain in advance from the Department for the movement of cultural property (hereinafter – the Control Body) the certificate confirming that the object is not a “cultural property”.
In case you have an object that is a cultural property you will have to receive certificate which gives the right to transport cultural property abroad.
The Law of Ukraine “On the export, import and return of cultural property” states the rules on the export, import and return of cultural property. A certificate for the right to export (temporary export) of cultural property is obligatory for shipping the cultural property outside the customs territory of Ukraine. Cultural values (works of art, old books, coins, stamps, awards), entered in the State Register of National Cultural Property, in the National Archives or the Museum Fund of Ukraine are prohibited for export abroad. Attempted transportation is a criminal offence.

On March 18, 1975, a motion was introduced to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to prepare a draft ordinance to establish an independent County Commission for Women. A 15-member commission was created to represent the special interests and concerns of women of all races, ethnic and social backgrounds, religious convictions, sexual orientation and social circumstances.
As part of his statement, Supervisor Edmund D. Edelman said: "Although women represent a majority of the County's population, tradition and prejudice, along with social, political and economic restrictions have resulted in women being denied by virtue of their status of being women, certain basic human rights. The denial of these fundamental rights has created inequities in economic, political, legal and social status, thereby preventing the development of women's individual potential and the ability to contribute as fully as possible to the economic and cultural well being of the County of Los Angeles.
In view of the long standing tradition of according women an inferior status in society, nothing less than a concerted effort at all levels of government will remove the barriers of discrimination and prejudice and result in true equality."

Nevada Judge sets January 4 hearing on whether MassGaming has used privileged information while probing into sexual harassment allegations against Steve Wynn
The release of a report by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission on sexual allegations against businessman Steve Wynn will remain blocked until at least early January, a Nevada judge ruled Thursday.
top online casino
Following the January publication of a report by the Wall Street Journal detailing a “decades-long pattern” of sexual harassment by the casino mogul, MassGaming opened a probe into the multiple allegations leveled against Mr. Wynn. The gambling regulator also investigated how Wynn Resorts, the gaming and hospitality company founded by the businessman, addressed the allegations and whether it had any previous knowledge of those.
siti casino online
MassGaming’s report aimed to determine whether Wynn Resorts was suitable to operate an integrated resort in the Greater Boston area. The Las Vegas company holds a gaming license from the Gaming Commission and is currently building the $2.5-billion Encore Boston Harbor hotel and casino complex. The property is slated to open doors in June 2019.
The commission was expected to release the results from its probe in December. However, Mr. Wynn filed last month a legal complaint in the Clark County District Court, seeking to block the reveal of the results from the investigation.
The businessman’s legal team argued that MassGaming was communicated information by Wynn Resorts that was protected by attorney-client privilege.
New Hearing Scheduled for January 4
Back in November, Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez temporarily blocked the release of the MassGaming report, saying that she wanted to hear arguments from all involved parties. A hearing took place Thursday, December 20, but Judge Gonzalez did not rule on the matter.
Attorneys for Mr. Wynn, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, and Wynn Resorts will instead return to court on January 4 for a new hearing, during which the judge is expected to determine whether the gaming regulator’s report contains privileged information or not.
As mentioned earlier, MassGaming is looking to determine whether Wynn Resorts is suitable to operate Massachusetts’ second commercial casino resort. The property is slated to open doors on June 24, 2019, but concerns have been voiced that any delays in the release of the regulator’s report could result in delays in the resort’s launch. Wynn Resorts can even lose its license to operate the property, if deemed unsuitable by MassGaming.
As reported on Thursday by Casino News Daily, local lawmakers have grown frustrated by the delayed publication of the sexual harassment allegations report. They have also pointed out that any delays, including in the opening of the resort, could cost the state jobs and revenue. Encore Boston Harbor is expected to create more than 4,500 full-time jobs once fully operational.
Commenting on the latest developments, Wynn Resorts counsel Patrick Byrne said that the company supports the investigation and is doing everything it can to cooperate. Mr. Byrne went on to say that their desire is to “resolve these privilege issues as soon as possible” so that the investigation can proceed.

“We, at ACT for America, are committed to protecting women and children from Sharia Law and its impact on Muslim women and children including honor killing and Female Genital Mutilation. We must ensure that every woman and child enjoy the protection afforded by the U.S. Constitution.”
Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) are taking a hard-line stance against the march stating that it will contribute to “the creation of the environment in which violence [against Muslims] feels permissible”. Counter protests are being organized in several locations.
[Cue screeching tires soundtrack…] The stage has been set – and powerfully energized by numerous horrific hate incidents throughout the world – for potentially ugly confrontation. But do the opposing sides even actually understand what the opposition is protesting? Or do we have the Golden State Warriors attempting to play a championship game against the New England Patriots – different game and different playing field?
On the one side, ACT for America has called their protest a “March against Sharia”, when they are actually protesting abusive treatment of women and girls particularly in the forms of honor killing and female genital mutilation, neither of which are a part of Sharia law.
Honor killing, as defined in Wikipedia.com, is “the homicide of a member of a family, due to the perpetrators’ belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family, or has violated the principles of a community or a religion, usually for reasons such as refusing to enter an arranged marriage, being in a relationship that is disapproved by their family, having sex outside marriage, becoming the victim of rape, dressing in ways which are deemed inappropriate, engaging in non-heterosexual relations or renouncing a faith”.
The concept of honor killing has somewhat recently emerged in American consciousness due to the proliferation of several cell phone recordings of girls being stoned to death, and the recent murder of 25-year-old Pakistani social media star, Qandeel Baloch, who was killed by her brother for “bringing dishonor to the family”.
But were these the acts of psychopathic murderers, or devout Muslims, simply carrying out the teachings of the Quran and being obedient to Sharia law? For the average American, their perception has been wholly shaped by the universal media portrayal of Muslim men as Middle Eastern terrorists and women as submissive and oppressed. Certainly groups such as Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and ISIS exist as very real and terrifying archetypes of this image. But these groups represent only a tiny fraction of the 1.8 billion Muslims of the world.
There is another group of Muslims, a very important group, that gets almost no media exposure, is almost never portrayed in action movies or TV dramas – the over 1.5 billion mainstream Muslims, including the over 3 million who live in the United States. I’m talking about the surgeons and attorneys who live in our neighborhoods, and take their families to the mosque on Fridays. Whose kids play on the same sports teams as our kids, and the ladies who are so readily identifiable because they wear the hijab in public. Before we all go out and call our protest a “March against Sharia”, it’s important that we understand what Sharia means to mainstream Muslims, not what it means to deviant and murderous radicals.
To further emphasize this point, we must realize that that since June 1, while 8 were killed in London and one in Melbourne Australia, there were over 30 attacks by terrorists naming Islam as their religion against other Muslims, with deaths totaling well over 100. Muslims are the targets of terror attacks to a much greater degree than those of us in the West, in the first week of June alone, by a factor of 10 to 1. We must understand that these terror victims who are Muslims are also our allies against terror, and before we protest Sharia law in blanket fashion, perhaps we should take the time to gain an understanding of how mainstream Muslims view Sharia law.
Getting back to our question of whether honor killings are the acts of deviant psychopaths, or of devout Muslims following the basic teachings of Islam, our first source is the Quran itself. Most people are surprised to find out that, of the more than 6000 verses encompassed by the Quran, a small percentage are directive, in the form of specific commands, and, properly omitting the passages allowing killing in a defensive struggle, which relate to war, not civil law, “physical punishment was authorized just five times in the entire Quran”, and only addressed four crimes.
The first crime addressed is murder (and other forms of violence), for which capital punishment is allowed (or a lesser physical punishment depending on the level of physical violence perpetrated). In this case, if the perpetrator repents before he is apprehended, he may be forgiven. This is found in the Quran 5:37-34.
The second crime addressed is stealing, and the punishment is for a cut to be placed on the wrist of the thief, presumably so that he would have been easily identified by merchants in the marketplace. Naturally, extreme versions of Sharia take the most extreme interpretation, amputation of the hand. (Quran 5:38-39).
The third crime which allows physical punishment is that of adultery, and the punishment is 100 lashes for both the man and the woman who violate the marriage vows (Quran 24:2). In present-day times, this is admittedly harsh and inappropriate, but when compared to the punishment prescribed in the Old Testament for adultery – stoning to death (Deuteronomy 22:22-25) – Mohammed’s punishment was much less severe.
The last crime in the list is falsely accusing someone of adultery, for which whipping is also prescribed as punishment.
To sum up, the Quran prescribes capital punishment for murder, as does US legal code, however the Quran allows forgiveness for repentance, while US legal code does not. The use of physical punishment for lesser crimes, and the concept of lashes for violation of the marriage vows are problematic to be sure, but are by no means justification for honor killing. The concept of honor killing is completely absent in the prophetic recitations of Mohammed as recorded in the Quran. Neither the imams who teach in the mosques of mainstream Muslims, nor the rank-and-file Muslims who attend are promoting a kind of Sharia law that promotes honor killing.
So if ACT for America wants to March for human rights on behalf of women victims of honor killing, by all means do so, and I will march with you, but it is completely wrong to call the protest a “March against Sharia”.
In fact, the history books tell us that in pre-Islamic Arabia, female infanticide was commonly practiced, the child being buried alive the moment she was born. It was Mohammed who strictly forbade this practice in the Muslim community (Quran 81:8-9, 17:31, 16:58-59), and who may be credited for its discontinuance.
Mohammed taught over and over again in opposition to any concept akin to honor killing. The vast majority of Mohammed’s directives involve pure–hearted devotion to a merciful God as reflected by a life of integrity, respecting one’s family, and over and over again, helping those in need. The notion that Mohammed created a religion of violence is simply false. When compared to the tribal culture of Arabia surrounding Mohammed, to the Christian Byzantine kingdom, in which torture was commonplace, and the Sassanid Persian Empire, Islam was truly revolutionary for its strict regulations against violence.
The Quran is actually full of directives related to matters of family law, mainly related to making sure that women were treated fairly in matters of property distribution in times of divorce and death. This is why Muslim women favor Sharia law, to the incredulity of those of us in the West.
John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed, in their enlightening book, Who Speaks for Islam, point out that, when it came to honor killings, of those who committed them in the country of Jordan, 69% did not perform their daily prayers and 56% did not perform the fast of Ramadan. In fact, many had histories of violent behavior: 35% had already served sentences for previous crimes, 32% were illiterate, only 4% had attended college and 24% were brought up in broken homes. Clearly, something other than the teaching of Mohammed had driven these men to murder their own female relatives.
So, once more, please join ACT for America and march against the victimization of women in honor killings. But the reference to Sharia must be dropped. It doesn’t apply for over 1.5 billion mainstream Muslims, who favor a Sharia law that is primarily about social justice. If so, I venture to say that many will join you.
Much more could be said, but we must move on to the subject of female genital mutilation (FGM). It is somewhat understandable, given the woefully distorted media representation that we are all exposed to, that the average American could come to the conclusion that Sharia law demands honor killings. But the assumption that FGM is a Muslim practice is a patent falsehood. One need only consult the well referenced Wikipedia.com article on the subject to know that FGM originated in North Africa prior to the spread of Islam there, and was most widely practiced among primitive tribal groups throughout Central Africa. It is practiced by Christian communities in Africa, in fact, 55% of Christian women and girls in Niger have experienced FGM, compared with only 2% of their Muslim counterparts. There is no mention of it in the Quran, and in 2007, the Al-Azhar Supreme Council of Islamic Research in Cairo, one of the most highly respected institutions of Islamic scholarship, ruled that FGM had ”no basis in core Islamic law or any of its partial provisions”.
So in the case of FGM, even more so than for honor killings, it is at best an error of ignorance similar to targeting a turbaned Sikh thinking he is a Muslim, and at worst an overt misrepresentation. By all means march. March for the victims. Stand with them and support them in every way. This is a noble cause. But the reference to Sharia must be removed as absolutely false. The Act for America march on June 10 is a march for the rights of victimized women. Understandably, the acts and practices of the extremist groups who claim to be practicing Islam are included as those being marched against. But it must also be understood that these extremists do not represent mainstream Muslims, rather they target them as victims. And their practices are against the teachings of the Quran – any of the Muslims you find around you will tell you this.
Once again, if the name of the march is changed to “March for Victims of Honor Killings and FGM” and the reference to Sharia is removed, Muslims will join the march.
To those Muslims who are participating in counter protests, I ask you to visit the website of the organizers to understand the true purpose of the march, and to see that they have disassociated themselves from the Arkansas march, which was hijacked by a white supremacist. The constant reference to Sharia law, a concept of social justice that is integral to the practice of Islam, is upsetting and disturbing. But please understand, or at least try to give the benefit of the doubt, that organizers and participants are wholly ignorant of even the existence of, let alone the teaching of mainstream Islam of nonviolence and social justice. When the term Sharia is used, it refers to the practices of the Wahhabis, ISIS, and the Taliban.
If counter protests take place and battle lines are drawn, I fear that the result will be an escalation in tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims in the US, leading to even greater Islamophobia, and inevitably, more violence. America needs education. America has been immersed in completely false yet prolific images of Islam and is almost completely unaware of the teachings and practices of Islam’s mainstream. America is unaware that the strongest force of Islam, its mainstream believers, is our most powerful ally in the struggle against radical terrorism. Our ignorance will be overcome with patience, with peace, and with awareness. I call upon my Muslim brothers and sisters at full moon during the month of Ramadan, to emulate the Prophet (peace be upon him) and to take the high road in the case of this wholly misnamed protest entitled “March against Sharia “. May peace be upon us all.
