Home Dictionary Name: part time Page: 3To stand or not to stand as a candidate
To stand or not to stand as a candidate, a person who has been or claims to have been duly nominated as a candidate as any election and any such person shall be deemed to have been a candidate as from the time when, with the election in prospect, he began to hold himself out as a prospective candidate. The first part of the definition requires that in order to be a candidate a person should have been duly nominated as a candidate. But it may sometimes happen that though a person claims to have been duly nominated, the validity of his nomination is in dispute: such a person would also be a candidate within the meaning of the definition. The basic postulate of the first part of the definition is that a person should be duly nominated and it is only then that he becomes a candidate at an election.

See CIVIL LAW.The Code Napoleon, or Civil Code of France, pro-ceeding from the French Revolution, and the administration of Napoleon while First Consul, effected great changes in the laws of that country.

When Napoleon became emperor, the name was changed to that of Code Napoleon, by which it is still often designated, though it is now styled by its original name of Code Civil. A Code de Procedure Civile, a Code de Commerce, Code d'Instruction Criminelle, and Code Penal were afterwards compiled and promulgated under Bonaparte's administration. To these was sub-sequently added a Code Forestier, or...

visa expiration date The visa expiration date is shown on the visa. This means the visa is valid, or can be used from the date it is issued until the date it expires, for travel for the same purpose, when the visa is issued for multiple entries. This time period from the visa issuance date to visa expiration date as shown on the visa, is called visa validity. If you travel frequently as a tourist for example, with a multiple entry visa, you do not have to apply for a new visa each time you want to travel to the U.S. As an example of travel for the same purpose, if you have a visitor visa, it cannot be used to enter at a later time to study in the U.S. The visa validity is the length of time you are permitted to travel to a port-of-entry in the United States to request permission of the U.S. immigration inspector to permit you to enter the U.S. The visa does not guarantee entry to the U.S. The Expiration Date for the visa should not be confused with the authorized length of your sta...

Statute Law Revision Acts
Statute Law Revision Acts. A number of general Acts were passed from the year 1861 to 1927 inclusive, for the purpose of expressly and specifically repealing Acts or parts of Acts which had been either impliedly repealed by subsequent statutes on the ground that leges posteriores priores contrarias abrogant, or which (see the preambles to the various Acts) 'might be regarded as spent, or had by lapse of time or otherwise become unnecessary' from various causes, or had become obsolete, and also partly with the view of clearing the way for two editions of 'Statutes Revised,' that is, statutes in force only, as distinguished from the 'Statutes at Large,' or statutes just as they are passed. In 1890, as explained in an Introductory Note to vol. 4 of the 2nd edition of the Revised Statutes, a Select Committee of the House of Commons considered the subject of statute law revision, and recommended the omission from the Revised Statutes of 'any preambles' [but see that title] 'to an act, or in...
