INTRODUCTION

Hochster v De La Tour (1853) is an English contract law case on anticipatory breach of contract. On 12 April 1952, De La Tour and Hochster had an agreement for De La Tour to employ Hochster as his courier and to go on a trip around Europe together for a period of three months, starting from 1 June 1852. The wages and salary were also agreed upon. However, on 11 May 1852, De La Tour changed his mind and he wrote to Hochster to state that his service is no longer required. On 22 May, Hochster sued De La Tour for a breach of contract. De La tour refused to pay any form of compensation. De La Tour beg to differ that, if Hochster was refusing to agree to terminate the contract base on de La Tour’s repudiation, then Hochster will be obliged to stand in and perform at all times before the date he was to perform the contract. Therefore, Hochster will not be able to suffer from any injury from De La Tour’s repudiation.

    (C. 19,20) It is very suspicious, that for two months the ISP could not find Eliza work, but after she filed a complaint with the EEO’s Office, the ISP was able to find her a job in less than 10 days. Because it took the ISP a short time to find her a job after they claimed for two months that there were no jobs available, it is clear that there was a suspiciously short time between Eliza’s complaint and the adverse

    Therefore, the accommodation of permitting the plaintiff to be exempted from having to rotate between lines 7, 8 and 9 would create the removal of a marginal function and make it a reasonable accommodation. The court noted that neither the written job description for the inspector positions nor the mutual agreement made reference to the rotation of the job. The Job rotation policy had never been the general practice of this company in the past. The court also noted that the inspector position does not exist for the purpose of having employees rotate between lines 7, 8 and 9, the use of a rotation system had no bearing on the number of employees needed to perform the work, and rotating between lines is not a highly desirable function for which plaintiff was exactly hired, Indeed, it is the contrasting of a specialized skill of the employees. The court stopped short of actually deciding that job rotation is not an essential function of this job and leaving that determination for the

    In R v. Frieson, Judge Ouellette referred to 5 cases and 2 statutes outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, 2 statutes from the Constitution Act, and 12 statues from the Criminal Code. The issue with this particular case laid in the fact that Frieson believed the imposition of a three-year mandatory minimum sentence for this offence constituted as cruel and unusual punishment; the defendant was not aware of Mr. Froese’s depression when he sold him both firearms. Despite only having a license to sell non-prohibited firearm ammunition at the time, Friesen cooperated with investigators and was honest about continuing to sell firearms from his store despite not having a license, even after Mr. Froese’s death.

    In 2013, the Supreme Court case Moncrieffe v. Holder refuses a Board of Immigration Appeals to removal from the United States of a lawful permanent resident based on a long term criminal conviction related to sole possession of small amounts of marijuana. The case finally made it all the way to the Supreme Court, which is considered a rather technical question of the interpretation of the U.S Immigration laws. Local police departments have long been accused of profiling Hispanic, African-Americans, and other minorities of race in law enforcement activities, including run of the mill traffic stop. Critics fear that immigration enforcement by state and local authorities will lead to increase of racism. Many Americans have shown concerns with the implementation of racist discrimination of the U.S immigration laws by state police agencies and local authorities.
