THE CASE OF THE DRIVER WHO HAD ONE TOO MANY Jon was insured under a life insurance contract policy that excluded death due to suicide. The policy had a face amount of $1 million. Two weeks after taking out the policy, Jon stopped at a local bar to have a “few” as he had gotten a promotion that day and his family was depending on that promotion to save their home. Jon left the bar, driving while intoxicated. He was speeding and lost control of his car which hit a utility pole. He was killed immediately. There was no one else involved in the accident. The weather was clear and the road was in good shape and well lighted. Jon’s insurance company refused to pay and Jon’s wife sued the company to force payment. The Trial Testimony at the trial proved conclusively that Jon was legally intoxicated when he left the party. There was also proof that there was nothing in the policy about lack of coverage in the event of an accident due to intoxication. The Arguments at Trial The insurance company’s attorneys argued that benefit provisions apply only to death due to accidents and that, although Jon appeared to have been in an accident, his death was due to his being intoxicated and therefore not an accident. They further argued that this concept was so logical that it did not need spelling out in the insurance policy. The estate’s attorneys argued that because the policy was silent about accidents due to intoxication, the benefit provision should apply regardless of the cause of the accident; the parties had a contract and all exclusions must be spelled out in the contract in order to be effective. Questions to Discuss Who do you think has the stronger argument, the insurance company or Jon’s estate? Why? If you were the jury hearing this case, how would you decide? Why? What do you think the rule regarding coverage of accidents due to use of drugs or excessive alcohol should be?

[15 Marks] QUESTION 5 The theoretical separation of jus ad bellum and jus in bello provides important protection during armed conflict. However, this distinction has been challenged by extreme cases of self defence and the notion of humanitarian intervention, where in the view of some, violations of jus in bello may be warranted.

Employment law is the section of laws that govern the relationship between an employee and their employer, including the rights and responsibilities of both parties. It helps to ensure that a workplace is safe and appropriate to work in, governs the hours that an employee can work, and determines the wages that an employee can receive. Included in employment law are many regulations from all levels of government. Due to how extensive employment law is, it's often divided into different areas, such as workplace safety, wages, benefits, family and medical leave, unemployment, and workplace conduct. Employment law is designed to ensure that all parties in a business are treated fairly and ethically, which can help to keep a business running efficiently. If both an employer and employee understand what their rights and obligations are, they can be more prepared in certain situations, such as in the case of salary misclassification. Employment law can also help to prevent work disruptions between employees and management by setting standards to govern the workplace. Employment law can mitigate issues that may arise in the workplace. For example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination. Most businesses have some type of employment law they follow. There is a wide range of subject areas related to employment law, and each often has its own set of standards and associated terms. Here are some aspects of employment law and the key terms that relate to them: Employment Discrimination Wages and benefits Health and Safety Discrimination in the workplace occurs when a member of a protected class experiences different treatment than their peers. While discrimination can take many forms, it's prohibited by law. Here are a few terms associated with employment law regarding discrimination: Title VII: Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Age Discrimination in Employment Act: This law prevents employers from discriminating based on age. The Equal Pay Act: This law protects men and women from wage and benefit discrimination based on gender. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): This law prohibits discrimination based on disabilities, requiring employers to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act: This act amended Title VII to prohibit employers from discriminating due to pregnancy or a condition related to pregnancy or childbirth. Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA): This act prohibits discrimination based on genetic information. Watch this short video for an introduction to employment laws. Discussion Topic: Research a recent business case or incident in which there was a potential violation of employment law; you might look on the Internet or daily news.
