Workmen's Compensation Act
Workmen's Compensation Act. (English) The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1897, introduced the principle of compulsory insurance of workmen by employers in a restricted number of trades. The gist of a right to compensation under the Acts is 'accident arising out of and in the course of the employment' causing personal injury to a workman (Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925 [15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 84), s. 1 (1)] The compensation is not damages for negligence or any other tort at common law or by statute (see COMPBELL (LORD) ACTS (Fatal Accidents Acts, 1846-1908) and Employers Liability Act, 1880, sub tit. MASTER AND SERVANT), and an employer is not liable both for damages and compensation; but the workman or his representatives may elect between the remedies, and in an unsuccessful action for damages the Court may assess or refer the question of compensation to the proper tribunal, subject to an equitable order for costs (Workmen's Compensation Act, 1925, s. 25). Compensation is not payable for a...
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...

Ship-money
Ship-money, an imposition formerly levied on port-towns and other places for fitting out ships for the defence of the realm. It had become obsolete, but was revived by Charles I., who attempted to levy it in the county of Bucks. John Hampden, a gentleman of the county, was accordingly assessed at 20s., which he declined to pay, and proceedings were taken against him in the Exchequer. Judgment was given for the Crown, 'which gave such offence to the nation and occasioned great heart-burnings' in Parliament. Resolutions were at once passed condemning the judgment, and it was reversed and the whole abuse abolished by 16 Car. 1, c. 14. See Case of Ship Money, (1737) 3 St. Tr. 825; Broom's Const. Law, p. 306....
Letters of marque
Letters of marque, commissions for extraordinary reprisals for reparation to merchants taken and despoiled by strangers at sea, grantable by the Secretaries of State, with the approbation of the Sovereign and Council; and usually in time of war, etc., ex Merc. 173. The words marque and reprisal are used as synonymous terms, although the latter is, strictly, taking in return; the former passing the frontiers in order to such taking, Du Cange, tit. 'Marcha.'These letters are grantable by the law of nations, wherever the subjects of one state are oppressed and injured by those of another, and justice is denied by that state to which the oppressor belongs. In this case letters of marque and reprisal may be obtained in order to seize the bodies or goods of the subjects of the offending state, until satisfaction be made, wherever they happen to be found; and, in fact, this custom seems dictated by nature. The necessity, however, is obvious of calling in the sovereign power to determine when ...

Pinkerton, (1867) LR 2 Ex 340), repealed and replaced by the Foreign Enlistment Act, 1870 (33 & 34 Vict. c. 90), passed to 'regulate the conduct of the Majesty's subjects during the existence of hostilities between foreign states with which her majesty is at peace.' by s. 4 of this Act, if any British subject accepts any engagement in the military or naval service of any foreign state at war with any foreign state at peace with the Crown,he is punishable by fine and imprisonment or either; and by s. 11, if any person within theBritish Dominions 'prepares or fits out any naval or military expedition to proceed against the dominions of any friendly state,' such person and any persons employed in any capacity in any such expedition are similarly punishable.
