Contract, breach of, inducement of
Contract, breach of, inducement of. In the case of seamen it is by s. 236 of the (English) Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, an offence to persuade or attempt to persuade seamen or apprentices to desert or absent themselves from duty. As to whether such inducement can, apart from any statutory provision, be an actionable wrong, see Lumley v. Gye, (1853) 2 E&B 216, and Temperton v. Russell, (1893) 1 QB 715; but the principles laid down in these cases were commented on in Allen v. Flood, 1898 AC 1. An Act done by a person in contemplation or furtherance of a 'trade dispute,' q.v. as defined by the (English) Trades Disputes and Trade Unions Act,1927 (17 & 18 Geo. 5, c. 22), is not actionable on the ground only that it induces some other person to break a contract of employment. [(English) Trade Disputes Act, 1906, s. 3]...

Goods
Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...

Jews
Jews. Several Statutes were passed in the reign of Queen Victoria respecting the Jews. See 8 & 9 Vict. c. 52, giving them relief as to municipal offices; 10 & 11 Vict. c. 58, and 19 & 20 Vict. c. 119, ss. 21, 22 as to their marriages; 21 & 22 Vict. c. 48, s. 5, amended by 23 & 24 Vict. c. 63, as to their making declara-tions as a qualification for office; and the Jews Relief Act, 1858 (21 & 22 Vict. c. 49), empowering either house of Parliament by resolution to allow them to omit the words 'upon the true faith of a Christian' from the form of oath then required to be taken by members of Parliament. The Promissory Oaths Act, 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. 72), has since prescribed a form of oath containing no reference to the faith of a Christian, and the Promissory Oaths Act, 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48), repeals 21 & 22 Vict. c. 48, and the Jews Relief Act, 1858, except s. 4, which provides that the official patronage of a professing Jew shall devolve on the Archbishop of Canterbury. By s. 3 of...
