Does the alternative dispute resolution have a role to play in the construction industry in the State of Kuwait (Look into the most appropriate methodology that may be taken in Kuwait in comparison with what are available in the English legal system)
No full textSpending almost two decades of experience with one of the largest oil and gas production company in the Middle East namely “Kuwait Oil Company” as a Team Leader and Senior Counsel for the Projects and Claims Team under Legal Affairs Department has undoubtedly inspired me the notion the essence of this thesis alongside with that sort of eagerness to research in quest for the knowledge which man has always and still run after but the least nevertheless only acquired! Before I join the company in late eighties, and on my graduation I found myself in cross roads, become a lecturer and embark on the academic career and satisfy my desire for research or fight my way in the legal profession as practitioner? I walked the second route in the hope of gaining the legal experience with the thought of grapping the research route in a later stage in which I now do enjoy and live. Working with KOC, I have been involved up to teeth in different areas of law since a project documents is governed and regulated not only by contract law but commercial law, companies law, patent law, labour law, construction law and tax law are also incorporated. The dispute resolution methods are addressed as well since local litigation is the main method and international adjudication, mediation and arbitration are exceptional but used and applied in particular on LSTK, EPC, EPF and Technical Service Agreements TSAs. Negotiation rounds which were entered with international oil companies on new projects and contracts gained me skills and exceptional knowledge in applying law and practice as well as sharing expertise not only in law function but in commercial and technical angles of the project bearing in mind the diversified expertise representing all aspects of business and the approaches followed to successfully accomplish a project. In the thesis, I’ve opted to deal with the elements of dispute resolution in the construction industry on the international scale and on the local or national level choosing State of Kuwait’s legal system and enhancing the research with the practical work experience in the Kuwait Oil Company extending seven chapters for this aim. I fully hope with my humble efforts exerted in this thesis that something valuable is added to the endless and depthless ocean of legal knowledge. In addition to the introductory section, the analysis of the thesis subject will be split into and developed through seven parts. Chapter one will define the construction contract, the field of the study subject, which will be followed by the mechanism of formation of the contract subject matter in chapter two. Then, the next four chapters, the means of the most common alternative dispute resolution; namely arbitration, adjudication, expert determination and mediation will be examined respectively. Chapter seven will mainly focus on the evaluation of the Kuwaiti national oil producer (Kuwait Oil Company “KOC”) as a case study and eventually will come up with the recommendations. Then, the mission of the thesis would reach the Conclusion being the final destination of its journey

On the equation V * G = ΕV
No full textThis note uses some recent powerful tools related with semidirect products V W of pseudovarieties of semigroups, particularly when the second factor is the pseudovariety G of all finite groups, to give syntactic proofs of equalities of the form V G = EV, where EV denotes the pseudovariety consisting of the finite semigroups whose idempotents generate subsemigroups from V. Subpseudovarieties V of DS are considered, including all subpseudovarieties of LI, DA, DS itself, and J, the latter providing a new proof of a result of Henckell and Rhodes. 1. Introduction Since the publication of Eilenberg's treatise [13], motivated by earlier developments stemming from applications in computer science, the theory of finite semigroups has evolved mainly in the form of their classification in pseudovarieties. For later developments, see the introductory book by Pin [23] and the first author's book [1]. From the early beginnings, several operators on pseudovarieties associated with natural operator..
Snubbed Landmark: Why United States v. Cruikshank (1876) Belongs at the Heart of the American Constitutional Canon
No full textUnited States v. Cruikshank (1876) is an unacknowledged landmark of American constitutional jurisprudence. Cruikshank, not the far more famous Civil Rights Cases, limited the Fourteenth Amendment to protect only against state action; Cruikshank, not the notorious Slaughter-House Cases, narrowed the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to exclude rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights; Cruikshank, not the canonical Washington v. Davis, announced that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause protected only against provably intentional race discrimination; and Cruikshank, not the Civil Rights Cases or City of Boerne v. Flores, first excepted the Fourteenth Amendment from the general principle that Congress enjoys discretion to select the means of implementing its constitutional powers. Historically, if the argument of this Article holds true, Cruikshank played a crucial role in terminating Reconstruction and launching the one-party, segregationist regime of “Jim Crow” that prevailed in the South until the 1960s. The circuit court opinion of Justice Joseph Bradley unleashed the second and decisive phase of Reconstruction-era terrorism, while the ruling of the full Court ensured its successful culmination in the “redemption” of the black-majority states.
Despite its enormous jurisprudential and historical importance, however, Cruikshank has been omitted from the mainstream narrative and pedagogical canon of constitutional law. The results have been obfuscation and distortion. Unlike the Civil Rights Cases, Slaughter-House, Davis, and City of Boerne — from which students learn the principles actually announced in Cruikshank — Cruikshank lays bare the true origin of those principles in affirmative judicial intervention immunizing overtly racist terrorism against effective law enforcement. By contrast, Plessy v. Ferguson, the legal profession’s chosen focus for confession and atonement, merely let stand the legal product of a white supremacist state government that owed its existence to Cruikshank. With Cruikshank safely off stage, American law students are treated to a happy tale of progress from Plessy to Brown starring the Supreme Court as the primary protector of civil rights — a role that, ironically, the Court carved out for itself by truncating Congress’s civil rights powers in Cruikshank. Add Cruikshank, and the entire narrative shifts in ways that upset time-honored notions in the dimensions of federalism, separation of powers, popular constitutionalism, and class.Peer reviewe

Constructing Tychonoff G-spaces which are not G-Tychonoff
No full textAbstractJan de Vries' compactification problem is whether every Tychonoff G-space can be equivariantly embedded in a compact G-space. In such a case, we say that G is a V-group. De Vries showed that every locally compact group G is a V-group. The first example of a non-V-group was constructed in 1988 by the first author. Until now, this was the only known counterexample. In this paper, we give a systematic method of constructing noncompactifiable G-spaces. We show that the class of non-V-groups is large and contains all second countable (even ℵ0-bounded) nonlocally precompact groups. This establishes the existence of monothetic (even cyclic) non-V-groups, answering a question of the first author. As a related result, we obtain a characterization of locally compact groups in terms of “G-normality”
The Thirteenth Amendment at the Intersection of Class and Gender: Robertson v. Baldwin’s Exclusion of Infants, Lunatics, Women, and Seamen
No full textSlavery was but one of many hierarchical relations, including parent-child, husband-wife, master-apprentice, and master-servant, that arose within the legally constructed household. The Thirteenth Amendment’s prohibition on slavery and involuntary servitude, which contained no explicit domestic exception, inevitably raised the question whether domestic relations other than chattel slavery would be affected. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Robertson v. Baldwin (1897) carved out a domestic exception to the Amendment for children, wards, adult seamen and – in practice – women in intimate relationships. This article, written for a symposium on the Thirteenth Amendment and class, examines the origins, justifications, scholarship, and case law of Robertson’s domestic exception, including its application to seamen, abused children and battered women.Peer reviewe
