Kampala Capital Council Authority v Senabulya (M.A No. 313 OF 2012) [2013] UGCOMMC 84 (9 May 2013);
IN THE HIGH COURT OF UGANDA AT KAMPALA
(COMMERCIAL COURT DIVISION)
MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATION NO. 313 OF 2012
(Arising From Misc. Cause No. 3 of 2006)
KAMPALA CAPITAL CITY AUTHORITY:::::::::::::::::::APPLICANT
ROBERT SSAWA SENABULYA
SSAWA, MUTAAWE & CO. ADVOCATES:::::::::::RESPONDENTS
BEFORE: HON. LADY JUSTICE HELLEN OBURA
This is an appeal against the taxation ruling of the registrar brought under section 62(1) of the Advocates Act and rule 3 of the Advocates (Taxation of Costs (Appeals and References) Regulations seeking that the taxation ruling in Misc. Cause No. 3 of 2006 be set aside or varied and costs of the appeal be provided for.
The background to this appeal as I understand it is that on 12th December 2001 the respondents were instructed to provide legal services, prepare the necessary documents and to render legal advice to the applicant in respect of the proposed re-development of the Baganda Bus Park on plot 43 – 47 Nakivubo Road, Kampala. There seems to be no dispute that the respondent carried out legal services including the preparation of a property development lease between the City Council of Kampala and Uganda Bus Operations Association Investment Limited. Pursuant to clause 4.15 of the Sub-lease, the fees and costs for the advocate's negotiation and preparation of the Sub-lease were to be paid by both the Sub-lessor and Sub-lessee in equal proportion.
According to a copy of unsigned minutes on record, a meeting was held on 9th July 2002 between officials of the appellant, the 1st respondent and Director and Legal Advisor of Uganda Bus Operators Association Investments Limited, the sub-lessee. At that meeting the 1st respondent informed the meeting that the legal fees/costs of his firm for preparation of the Sub-lease and attendant legal advice had already been agreed at 1% of the total project costs of US$ 12,580,000. Subsequently, on 1st December 2005 the respondent forwarded a bill of costs to the applicant for the services rendered to it seeking for a sum of Shs. 138,081,780/=. The applicant failed to pay the bill upon which the respondents filed Miscellaneous Cause No. 3 of 2006 seeking for leave to tax the bill of costs. The leave was granted and the taxing master taxed and allowed the bill in the sum of Shs. 136,616,860/=.
The appellant was aggrieved by the award on instruction fees and now appeals to this court against the taxing master's decision on the following grounds:
The learned taxing master erred in law and fact when she held that there was an agreement between the appellant and the respondent in regard to instruction fees.
The learned taxing master erred in law when she awarded excessive instruction fees in disregard of the scale provided in the 2nd Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations S.I 267-4.
The learned taxing master erred in law and in fact when she failed to properly evaluate the appellant's case hence arriving at an erroneous decision.
The appeal is supported by the affidavit of Mr. Caleb Mugisha, an advocate of the High Court of Uganda in the employment of the appellant. In his affidavit, he repeats the averments in the chamber summons.
On behalf of the respondents, there is an affidavit in reply deposed by Mr. Robert Ssawa Senabulya, an advocate of the High Court of Uganda. He avers in the affidavit in opposition that it was not necessary at the stage of taxation to exhibit the Sub-lease agreement on which the bill was based. Secondly, he deposed that sections 48, 50 and 51 of the Advocates Act were not applicable to the circumstances of this case because the fee was based on the 5th Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Rules. Thirdly, that the bill as taxed, in view of the work done by the respondents and conduct of the parties is not excessive and that the registrar as taxing master duly exercised her discretion and arrived at the correct decision.
At the hearing Mr. Richard Mubale held brief for Mr. J Sendege for the Appellant while Mr. Sekitoleko held brief for Mr. Peter Walubiri for the respondents. Both counsel agreed to file written submissions which was done hence this ruling.
On the first ground, it was submitted for the appellant that the document which the taxing master calls the agreement is an internal memo dated 2nd September 2005. The document was written by the then Town Clerk to the Secretary Finance Committee requesting that the matter be urgently considered by the Executive in order to avoid possible litigation. In that regard it was argued that there was no agreement in the first place.
Counsel for the appellant argued further that even if the said internal memo constituted an agreement between the appellant and the respondents as to the fees of the respondents, the same would have to pass the mandatory tests set out in sections 48 and 51 of the Advocates Act for it to merit consideration by court. The appellant's alternative argument is that the alleged agreement would fail the test in section 51 abovementioned as it was not signed, it did not contain a certificate of the Notary Public and no copy was sent to the Law Council. Thus such an agreement would be unenforceable in light of section 51(2) of the Advocates Act.
On the other hand, counsel for the respondents submitted that the respondents are not seeking to enforce any agreement under section 48 of the Advocates Act. Rather, their argument is that basing on the discussions and negotiations that had been held with the appellant, they prepared a bill of costs under the 5th Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations which were duly taxed. It was argued that the respondents claimed Shs. 114,478,000/= as instruction fees being the fair and reasonable fees under item 1(a) of the 5th Schedule.
With respect to sections 48 and 51 of the Advocates Act, it was submitted for the respondents that these provisions were quoted out of context and were irrelevant to the case. In addition, it was submitted for the respondents that the taxing master referred to the "fees" that were ideally agreed upon by both parties. It was submitted that although this "agreement" was not signed and notarized as required by the Advocates Act, the conduct of the parties including the undisputed minutes and correspondences are clearly indicative that the parties considered Shs. 114,478,000/= claimed as "fair and reasonable" instruction fees in accordance with item 1(a) of the 5th Schedule cited above. It was argued that the taxing master simply adopted the figure "ideally agreed on" as the fair and reasonable figure.
In rejoinder, the appellant's counsel submitted that the respondents have not shown court that the agreement existed between themselves and the appellant. The appellant contends that the alleged minutes of the meeting that took place on 9th July 2002 were never signed by any of the persons who purportedly attended the meeting. In essence, the appellants argue that the respondents' fees were never agreed upon even though negotiations might have taken place.
I have given due consideration to the arguments made by both parties and analysed the pleadings filed together with their attachments. The dispute appears to be whether there was agreement between the parties as to the respondents' remuneration. While the appellants allege that there was no agreement between the parties worth enforcing, the respondents contend that they prepared the bill of costs under the 5th Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Rules and the taxing master simply adopted the figure "ideally agreed on" for instruction fees as fair and reasonable. The respondents refer to the conduct of the parties including the minutes and correspondences as indication that the fees were agreed to.
However, I note that in her ruling the learned taxing master did not rely on the minutes of the meeting in reaching her decision. Rather the learned taxing master referred to the letter dated 2nd December 2005 and stated on the basis of that document, and on the nature of the work that was undertaken it was clear the parties did not intend that the fees would be based on the second schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Rules. She then stated that the fees were ideally agreed on by both parties and there was no basis for her to tamper with that agreement. She then awarded the sum of 114,478,000/=as instruction fees."
Section 48(1) of the Advocates Act provides:
"Notwithstanding any rules as to remuneration for the time being in force, an advocate and his or her client may, either before or after or in the course of the transaction of any non contentious business by the advocate, make an agreement as to the remuneration of the advocate in respect of that transaction".
Section 51of the Advocates Act provides that an agreement under section 48 or 50 shall be in writing; signed by the person to be bound by it; and contain a certificate signed by a notary public (other than a notary public who is a party to the agreement) to the effect that the person bound by the agreement had explained to him or her the nature of the agreement and appeared to understand the agreement. A copy of the certificate is required to be sent to the secretary of the Law Council by prepaid registered post.
Section 52 (2) provides that an agreement under section 48 or 50 shall not be enforceable if any of the requirements of subsection (1) have not been satisfied in relation to the agreement, and any advocate who obtains or seeks to obtain any benefit under any agreement which is unenforceable by virtue of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of professional misconduct.
In the case of S.V Pandit v Willy Mukasa Sekatawa & Others [1964] EA 490 it was held that a valid agreement for professional fees made between an advocate and his client must be in writing signed by the client against whom the agreement is sought to be enforced. At page 497 Sir Udo Udoma, CJ, while dealing with similar provisions stated the rationale for the above provisions as follows:
"The situation, I think, might be different if it was a client who had brought this action seeking to enforce the agreement as against the advocate. In that case, it would be the duty of this court to hold the advocate to his agreement for then the client would not be seeking to derive any benefit from such an agreement. It seems to me that what section 55 has done is to prescribe the formality which must be complied with by an advocate, who has concluded an agreement with his client as to his professional remuneration, if such an agreement is to be enforced by the court as against his client.
And section 56 (2) prohibits the bringing of any action for the enforcement of such an agreement. Which means in fact that any action brought for the purpose of enforcing such an agreement would be misconceived in law, having regard to the special procedure prescribed for that purpose under Section 56 (2) of the ordinance. The protection is for the client and not for the advocate. "
The Supreme Court of Uganda in the case of Kituuma Magala & Co. Advocates v Celtel (U) Ltd Civil Appeal No 9 of 2010 reported in [2001-2005] HCB Vol. 3 72 held that in terms of sections 48 and 50 of the Advocates Act, Advocates are free to enter into an agreement with their clients but section 51, required that such agreement comply with certain conditions or else by law it is unenforceable.
I have carefully perused the letter in question upon which the taxing master based her finding that the fees were ideally agreed. I do not agree that sections 48 and 51 of the Advocates Act are not applicable in this case as argued by counsel for the respondents. As long as the respondents are seeking to enforce the so called agreement for remuneration in court the yard stick for its validity is section 51. The enabling provision for remuneration agreement between an advocate and his client in non-contentious matters is section 48 (1) of the Advocates Act. Unless the respondents cite a different law under which they agreed with the applicant on their fees, it is bound to follow the above provisions.
In the premises, I find that the Town Clerk's letter relied upon by the learned taxing master to conclude that the parties had ideally agreed on the fees does not amount to an agreement in terms of sections 48 and 51 of the Advocates Act. This was merely an internal letter written by the then Town Clerk to the Secretary Finance Committee with a request that the matter be urgently considered by the executive in order to avoid possible legal litigation. In any case, the amount in dispute as stated in that letter is stated to have been arrived at after negotiations held with the former Town Clerk.
However, I wish to make the following observations. First of all, in the last paragraph of the letter of instructions dated 12th December 2001 (found at page 112 of the affidavit in reply) that same former Town Clerk had requested the respondent to formally inform him of the projected cost of their services as that may be the subject of further negotiation and approval by Council. Secondly, according to the unsigned minutes of the meeting of 9th July 2002 (found at page 44 of the affidavit in reply), at page 7 the same former Town Clerk requested an explanation from the City Advocate (who was recorded under members present to be Mr. J. S. B. Karugonjo) regarding the fee note/invoice submitted by the 2nd respondent. Before the City advocate could explain to the meeting as requested, Mr. Ssawa the 1st respondent is recorded to have "interposed to clarify that there was nothing to explain since the legal fees/costs of his firm for preparation of the sub-lease and attendant legal advice had already been agreed at 1% of the total cost of US $ 12,580,000 disclosed in the documents". According to that unsigned minutes whose authenticity was also challenged, discussion on that item ended with that interposition.
The above observations leave two questions lingering in my mind. First, why would the former Town Clerk who is now alleged to have agreed on this fees be asking the City Advocate to explain the fee note if at all he had agreed to it? Secondly, if at all the former Town Clerk had power to conclude the negotiations why did he indicate that the projected cost may be subject to approval of Council? My understanding of this transaction as discerned from the documents is that there was a proposal by the respondent to charge 1% of the total costs as its fees but negotiations were not brought to its logical conclusion by getting it approved by Council as had earlier been stated in the letter of instructions and complying with section 51 of the Advocates Act quoted above. Consequently, there is no written agreement that the taxing master could rely on to conclude that the parties had agreed on the instruction fees she allowed. That conclusion could not be drawn from the alleged conduct of the parties as argued by the respondents. The legal requirements had to be met.
In the result, I find that there is merit in the 1st ground of appeal as the learned taxing master erred in law and fact when she found that the fees were ideally agreed by the parties. That term "ideally agreed" has no place under the relevant law that governs remuneration agreements between an advocate and his/her client. Therefore the 1st ground succeeds.
Turning to the 2nd ground of appeal, it was submitted that the taxing master erred in law when she disregarded the scale provided in the 2nd Schedule hence awarding excessive instruction fees to the respondents. It was submitted for the appellant that the scale for remuneration of leases is provided for in the 2nd Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations. Further that the scale therein is all exhaustive. It does not even give the learned taxing master room for discretion save for transactions falling under rule 4(b) of the first scale to the 2nd schedule. The appellant contends that this case does not fall under rule 4(b). The appellant's counsel argued that the annual ground rent which should have been the basis for calculating the respondents' fees was in the Sub-lease agreement attached to the affidavit sworn by Mr. J. S. B. Karugonjo dated 18th April 2006. The appellant argued that this should have been the basis of the respondents' fees upon which the taxing master would have awarded them about Ug. Shs 900,000/=.
Counsel for the respondents submitted that the respondents' bill was not prepared in accordance with the 1st scale of the 2nd Schedule, which governs ordinary remuneration for usual leases, but rather under the 5th Schedule as per regulation 18 of the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations. It was further submitted that regulation 18 gives liberty to an advocate to opt out of any prescribed schedule and file his/her bill under the 5th Schedule. It was the contention of the respondents that the fees awarded by the taxing master were not excessive as they reflected the fair and reasonable fees charged under item 1(a) of the 5th Schedule.
It appears that the second ground of appeal is two fold, first that the instruction fees were awarded in disregard of the 2nd Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations and secondly that they were excessive.
Regarding the 1st leg of this ground, I have analyzed a letter dated 1st December 2005 found at page 40 of the 1st respondent's affidavit in reply. It was written to the appellant's Town Clerk by the respondent's advocates. In the third paragraph of that letter the appellant was notified that the 1st respondent had elected that the remuneration for the services rendered to the applicant in the project shall be according to the 5th Schedule of the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Rules 1982, S.I. No. 123 of 1982, as amended by the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) (Amendment) Rules 1996 S.I. No. 3 of 1996 and according to the rates negotiated and concluded between the applicant and the 1st respondent as evidenced and confirmed by the numerous documents forwarded to the applicant.
Regulation 18 of the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Regulations provides:
"In all cases to which the scales prescribed in the First to Fourth Schedules to these Rules apply, an advocate may, before or contemporaneously with rendering a bill of costs, by writing under his or her hand communicated to the client, elect that his or her remuneration shall be according to the Fifth Schedule to these Rules, but if no such election shall be made, his or her remuneration shall be according to the appropriate scale prescribed in the First to Fourth Schedules to these Rules."
Applying the above regulation to the facts before me, I find that the respondents duly exercised their right to elect to charge the appellant for their services according to the 5th Schedule and most importantly, this was communicated to the appellant as their client as permitted by regulation 18 above quoted. The communication was received by the office of the Town Clerk of the appellant on 7th December 2005. I also agree that the respondents were justified in doing so in view of the fact that they did not merely prepare and register a sub-lease. The scope of their instructions as per the letter of the Town Clerk dated 12th December 2001 was to provide legal services, prepare the necessary documents and to render legal advice with regard to the project. I therefore cannot fault the learned taxing master for proceeding under the 5th Schedule. This leg of the 2nd ground of appeal therefore fails.
With regard to the complaint of excessive instruction fees, I am guided by the principles of taxation of advocates' bills as laid down in the case of Premchand Raichand Ltd & Another v Quarry Services of East Africa & Others (No. 3) [1972] EA 162 where it was held as follows:
(i) (a) that costs be not allowed to rise to such a level as to confine access to the courts to the wealthy;
(b) that a successful litigant ought to be fairly reimbursed for the coststhe has had to incur;
(c) that the general level of remuneration of advocates must be such as to attract recruits to the profession; and
(d) that so far as practicable there should be consistency in the awards made;
(ii) the court will only interfere when the award of the taxing officer is so high or so low as to amount to an injustice to one party;
In the same way, Mulenga JSC stated some principles on which a Judge should interfere with a taxing officer's assessment of a bill of costs in the case of Bank of Uganda v Banco Arabe Espaniol Supreme Court Civil Application No. 23 of 1999. The first one is that save in exceptional cases, a judge will not alter a fee allowed by the taxing officer, merely because in his opinion he should have allowed a higher or lower amount. Secondly, an exceptional case is where it is shown expressly or by inference that in assessing and arriving at the quantum of the fee allowed, the taxing officer exercised, or applied a wrong principle. In this regard, application of a wrong principle is capable of being inferred from an award of an amount which is manifestly excessive or manifestly low. Thirdly, even if it is shown that the taxing officer erred on principle the judge should interfere only on being satisfied that the error substantially affected the decision on quantum and that upholding the amount allowed would cause injustice to one of the parties,
In the case of Alexander Okello v M/s Kayondo & Company Advocates, SC Civil Appeal No. 1 of 1997 it was held that an instruction fee is manifestly excessive if it is out of proportion with the value and importance of the suit and the work involved. In the instant case, the taxing master arrived at the figure she allowed based on the mistaken belief that the fees had been ideally agreed by the parties. Given my finding on the 1st ground, I am of the view that the instruction fees she allowed based on a wrong assumption was manifestly excessive. This 2nd leg of the 2nd ground of appeal therefore succeeds.
As regards the third ground of appeal, my findings on the above two grounds have partly addressed some of the arguments. I will therefore deal with those aspects that have not yet been addressed. Counsel for the appellant submitted that the taxing master did not give reasons for disregarding the appellant's arguments. The other complaint is that no reason was advanced for the excessive and extravagant figure that was awarded by the taxing master to the respondent. It was also argued that there was no legal basis upon which the learned taxing master grounded her ruling.
The respondents counsel argued that the taxing master properly evaluated the evidence on record and therefore arrived at the correct decision since there was available evidence on record citing a letter of instructions dated 12th December 2001 from the Town Clerk to the respondents, the letter dated 1st December 2005 forwarding the respondents' bill to the appellant and the bill of costs detailing work on the project.
In the case of National Housing and Construction Corporation v Lira Municipal Council [1996] HCB 53 Kagaba J. held that a taxing officer must use his discretionary powers judicially and that if a taxing officer exercises his discretion outside the set rules laid down by the law, such officer cannot be said to have used his discretion judicially.
During the taxation hearing, the appellant's arguments were centered on the internal memo which is the letter dated 2nd September 2005. I have perused the ruling of the learned taxing master. I note that she disagreed with the appellant that the letter of the Town Clerk was a mere internal memo that should be ignored. She then stated that in that letter the Town Clerk showed that instructions were given to the applicants (current respondents) to do the work and that the work was done entitling them to 1% of the project value that was claimed.
She then observed that indeed the document was addressed to the Secretary Finance Committee, ideally pushing to the relevant authority to clear the claim. She concluded that on the basis of that document, and on the nature of the work that was undertaken as was explained by counsel for the applicant (current respondent), it was clear the parties did not intend that the fees would be based on the 2nd Schedule to the Advocates (Remuneration and Taxation of Costs) Rules. She found that the fees were "ideally agreed" to by both parties and there was no basis for her to tamper with that agreement. She then awarded the amount in dispute.
In view of the taxing master's evaluation of arguments as summarized above, I do find that the taxing master gave reasons for disregarding the applicant's arguments. She also gave reasons for her award which she based on the alleged agreement of 1% of the project value. I cannot therefore fault her on this ground and it must fail as it has no merit.
On the whole, the 1st ground and part of the 2nd ground of this appeal succeed. In the result, the instruction fees awarded to the first respondent is set aside. The taxing master shall re-assess the respondents' instruction fees with an open mind as there were no agreed fees. Since the appeal succeeded in part, 50% of the costs of this appeal are awarded to the appellant.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen has been acquired by Boparan Restaurant Group in a rescue deal that will see 26 stores close. 35 sites will continue operating following the acquisition, with around 670 jobs saved, but 362 jobs will be cut at the locations that are to close.
The burger chain was put on the market by former owner Famous Brands after COVID-19 lockdown exacerbated historic difficulties dating back to a 2018 restructuring deal which saw 17 sites close. The company said sales had been improving, but entered administration due to the impact of the virus.
Gourmet Burger King's administrator Deloitte, announcing the pre-pack sale, said that "COVID-19 and associated lockdown measures have impacted the business' liquidity, driving the need to find a funding or sale solution."
Joint administrator Gavin Maher of Deloitte said: "As with a number of dining businesses, the broader challenges facing 'bricks and mortar' operators, combined with the effect of the lockdown, resulted in a deterioration in financial performance and a material funding requirement."
"We have been working closely with the management team under very difficult market conditions to try and find a funding solution and I am glad to be able to announce the rescue of this well-loved brand together with a large proportion of the sites and workforce. However, it's clearly disappointing that a number of sites have had to close resulting in today's redundancies."
Boparan Restaurant Group, owned by poultry tycoon Ranjit Boparan, also owns the chains Ed's Diner and Harry Ramsden's, along with meat processing firm 2 Sisters group. During the pandemic, the company acquired insolvent Italian restaurant chain Carluccio's.
The UK's saturated fast-casual dining market has been particularly hard hit by the impact of COVID-19 on the UK high street, as BSR covered in this exclusive insight, with well-known chains including Byron Burger, Frankie & Benny's and Pizza Express among those to close outlets.
In its most recent financial accounts, to the year ended February 24 2019, GBK Restaurants Ltd (which trades as Gourmet Burger Kitchen in the UK and Ireland) reported profits of £0.4 million, up from a £2.1 million loss a year earlier, while its net debt decreased to £28.2 million, having stood at £49.2 million a year earlier.
The company's revenue, however, decreased 7 per cent to £76.1 million from £81.7 million in 2018, driven by site closures and adverse trading conditions following Brexit. Gross profits declined from £32.7 million in 2018 to £28.1 million in 2019.

New Relic, an observability platform for engineers, announced the general availability of new error tracking capabilities to help engineering teams proactively detect, triage, and take action on all errors across the full software stack before customers are impacted. Engineers can use New Relic error tracking to group errors by user and error impact and show them in the right context. These capabilities include a new user impact view, access to correlation data across traces and logs, and an enhanced integration with Slack. It will reduce engineering work and improve the customer experience. New Relic empowers engineers with a data-driven approach to planning, building, deploying, and running great software. This helps the world's leading brands improve planning cycle times, change failure rates, release frequency, and mean time to resolution. It also provides a single location to view, triage, and resolve all errors across the entire application stack, as well as the ability for engineers to intelligently group and display errors on a single screen by user and error impact, with context. New Relic helps engineering teams find all errors across the full application stack, including APM, RUM, mobile, and serverless data. This reduces engineering work and makes the customer experience better. New Relic Observability Product GM and Chief Growth Officer, Manav Khurana, commented, "As applications grow more complex, engineers need a system in place to proactively triage and fix errors before the customer experience is impacted.

I started off as a waitress, then went on to become an Admin Assistant and then started working in IT as a QA Engineer.
I have been a QA Engineer since 2013 and, although I love my job, I have also developed a passion towards online marketing and therefore, I spend a lot of my free time reading about it and blogging.
Finding reliable information on how to become successful online can be quite challening.
There are a lot of blogs out there and everyone has got a different point of view and a different way of explaining things.
There are also a lot of scams when it comes to searching for "making money online" and it really upsets me to see that many people fall for them and lose loads of money because they really believe that money can be made overnight with no effort.

Young people celebrate fundraising milestone
A group of young people from West Lothian turned up to say a big thank you to housebuilder Walker Group for donating an incredible £100,000 to Children 1st over the last 20 years.
The young people from Bathgate's Chill Out Zone (COZ) visited the family-owned housebuilder's Monarch's Way development in West Calder to express their gratitude on reaching the landmark figure.
Walker Group has been involved with Scotland's National Children's Charity since 1997, helping to fund projects like COZ, a drop in centre for young people with an emphasis on healthy living.
The centre offers help with a range of areas including mental health, physical health and sexual wellbeing. Young people can relax in the centre's cyber café and social space and take advantage of confidential medical and counselling areas.
Sandy Casey, Director Walker Group said: "Walker Group's directors have always been passionate about supporting the communities in which the group builds and we hugely admire the work Children 1st has been doing to transform the lives of vulnerable children and young people.
"We donate a percentage of each house sale to charity and Children 1st is one of a number of Scottish charities we are privileged to be able to support. We could not have donated the money without our homebuyers and our staff who have also organised a huge variety of fundraising activities over the years from jumping out of planes to bake sales and dress down days.
"It is fantastic to meet some of the young people who are benefitting from our support and hear about their lives and what a difference Children 1st has made to them."
Children 1st Chief Executive Alison Todd said: "The long term support from Walker Group has helped us support thousands of children and young people and change their lives forever. We are grateful to partner with such a generous company and to benefit from the sale of homes that families love."
One young person (wishes to remain anonymous) who has been supported by COZ for five years said: "When I came to COZ they made me feel safe. COZ has helped me build my confidence. I used to self harm because I hated my body. Through talking with staff I was able to get the support I needed. The group of friends I have I would not have without COZ. COZ has helped me to build my confidence to apply for college which I start in August."
Children 1st was founded in 1884 and was for many years known as the RSSPCC (Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children). It became Children 1st in 1995. The charity helps Scotland's families to put children first, with practical advice and with support in difficult times. And when the worst happens it supports survivors of abuse, neglect and other traumatic events in childhood to recover.
Walker Group is a family-owned housebuilder with more than 40 years experience in building quality homes. It has developments across Central Scotland including Glen Ora in North Berwick, The Braes in Falkirk and the newly launched Long Meadow in Ormiston.

GOP-controlled Senate rebukes Trump on emergency declaration
By Jennifer Haberkorn Los Angeles Times (TNS)
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans on Thursday joined Democrats to vote against President Donald Trump's border emergency declaration, a stinging rebuke of the White House's decision to circumvent Congress to deliver on the president's campaign pledge to build a wall.
Twelve Republicans defected to vote with all Democrats in support of a resolution to terminate the president's declaration.
Hours before the vote, Trump repeated his threat to issue a veto, the first of his administration. He called illegal immigration a threat to national security and a humanitarian crisis.
The vote fell well short of the 67 votes that would be needed to override the president's veto.
The rebuke came after a lengthy effort by Senate Republicans to convince the White House to withdraw the resolution and turn to other means to construct the border wall. But in recent days, Republican senators began to peel away, suggesting the resolution would pass.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., publicly urged the administration to look elsewhere for border money, warning that the resolution is "a dangerous precedent" that future Democratic presidents will use to enact other priorities, like gun control and climate change.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, tried to broker a compromise with a resolution to limit the president's power to enact emergency declarations.
The White House rejected both ideas.
Both men voted with Democrats to rescind the president's declaration.
Lawmakers in both parties viewed the emergency declaration as an end-run around Congress' constitutional authority to determine how the federal government spends money. Just months ago, Congress voted to fund the government without money for the border wall.
"This is a vote for the Constitution and for the balance of powers that is at its core," said Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, one of the Republicans who voted against the president. "For the executive branch to override a law passed by Congress would make it the ultimate power rather than a balancing power."
Other Republicans voting with Democrats included Sens. Roy Blunt of Missouri, Susan Collins of Maine, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rob Portman of Ohio, Marco Rubio of Florida, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Roger Wicker of Mississippi.
Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican running for re-election in North Carolina next year, said last month he would support the measure, but he flipped Thursday under intense lobbying from the White House.
He said he changed his mind because he and other lawmakers were working on a broader measure to limit the president's authority under the National Emergencies Act.
Many of the Republican defectors were careful to stress that they agreed with boosting border security funding — a prominent theme of Trump's 2016 campaign and potentially a factor in the 2020 race.
"I believe the crisis on our southern border is real," Alexander said on the Senate floor. "U.S. Customs and Border Patrol arrested more than 66,000 illegal aliens in February 2019, the highest total in a single month since March 2009."
Most Republicans sided with the president.
"We have failed to protect our border as any sovereign nation must and our people are dying because of it," said Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. "The administration's sensible, long-overdue efforts to secure the border have been met only by howls of outrage from the Democratic Party."

India's sterilization camps ordered closed
After the Brexit vote in Great Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron resigned and was replaced by Theresa May. She is the second woman appointed to the position, following the legendary Margaret Thatcher. ITV said she "has earned a reputation as a tough and experienced political operator with a thick skin and traditional conservative views…"
The new prime minister has a history of voting with the pro-life lobby, according to the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC). Paul Tully, their General Secretary, points out that she has so voted on issues of embryo research, sex-selective abortion, and assisted suicide. Possible negatives include speaking in support of mandatory sex education.
SPUC said that "Pro-lifers will continue to watch as the new government continues to take shape and ministerial appointments are announced."

Cabinet approves amendments to LLP Act for decriminalizing offences, know New Concept of Small Company
COMPANY LAW, TC / By CS LALIT RAJPUT / July 30, 2021 July 30, 2021
Cabinet approves amendments to LLP Act
Limited Liability Partnership Amendment Bill, 2021
The Cabinet on 28th day of July, 2021, Wednesday, approved amendments to the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act for decriminalising offences under the law as the government looks to improve ease of doing business and encourage start-ups.LLPs are becoming popular among start-ups.
Currently, there are 24 penal provisions in the LLP Act, 21 compoundable offences, and three non-compoundable offences. After the amendments, the penal provisions will be cut to 22, compoundable offences will be only seven and non-compoundable will remain the same.
Total of 12 offences to be decriminalized under LLPs.
Many of the startups can also benefit from the ease of doing business.
Criminality has been removed to provide ease of doing business to law-abiding corporates in LLP firms.
The 12 decriminalised offences will then get shifted to an internal adjudication mechanism to help unclog criminal courts from routine cases.
The government has also approved creation of a class of small LLPs to encourage entrepreneurs. These LLPs will be subject to fewer compliances, reduced fee or additional fee, and smaller penalties in the event of default.
The changes, including removing criminal action for failure to comply with provisions of the Act, will help about 2.30 lakh such firms in the country.
"A penalty in the form of a fine has been decided for violations of general trends. This boosts Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
New Concepts:
Definition of Small Company:
The government will also introduce a new definition of small LLPs based on their turnover size and contributions by partners or proprietors. At present, there are relaxations for thresholds up to turnover size and partner's contribution of Rs 40 lakh and Rs 25 lakh, respectively.
"Now, Rs 25 lakh will go to Rs 5 crore and Rs 40 lakh turnover size will now be treated as Rs 50 crore. So, even Rs 5 crore contribution and Rs 40 crore or Rs 50 crore turnover will be treated as a small LLP, which means we are expanding the scope of what can be a small LLP.
Lower compliance will incentivise unincorporated micro and small partnerships to convert into the organised structure of an LLP and derive its benefits.The corporate affairs ministry is also working towards setting up an e-adjudication platform as part of the new version of the MCA21 portal.

Pittsburgh, PA (January 5, 2018) – Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, the #1 real estate company in Western Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh region, and a big proponent of children's care, continues its mission to give back to the community with a $305,835 donation to the Free Care Fund at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. The donation was presented during the KDKA Annual Free Care Fund Benefit Show and telethon on December 14, 2017.
"We are glad to be here tonight to make this donation that will help so many children and families. The Free Care Fund helps Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh to care for every child regardless of their family's ability to pay or to cover treatments insurance does not cover," said Tom Ceponis, President of Howard Hanna Pennsylvania.
The Howard Hanna Children's Free Care Fund continues to advance its mission of helping children's hospitals provide free medical care to children in need thanks to the efforts of the company's agents and employees, along with donations from the community and business partners. Since 1988, through the annual Choo Choo Chow Chow campaign, Howard Hanna offices companywide have raised and donated more than $14 million to children's free care funds and related programs/activities.
I thought about when a child goes through a "scarey and hard" time in their life for health care that their vision of the world "expands" to a very high level most can't imagine; especially, when they receive the "help of human beings" that they have never met in their lives. Every person is a miracle of hope that they see, even when they are in a state of flux where they question their own existence and why they are going through what they are. You find these tiny angels of light, truly become huge candles of strength and we in fact, without even knowing might meet one someday, as a friend, new family member, seller or buyer of their dream home. I ask myself, "how strong are you in life"… well, I am strongest just by being able to give to others for NO want in return! It is the best "strength". To me, personally: Children's Hospital Free Care Fund" is thee best avenue of seeing a better world. :). I know this personally 🙂 my nephew "Jeremy" walked in those shoes and I am ever so grateful for Children's. :).

The Tobacco sector plays an important part in supporting Indonesia's economic development. As stated in the Plantation Law, tobacco is a national strategic commodity as it is considered to have an important role in the development of social, economic, and environmental conditions in Indonesia (together with cocoa, coffee, rubber, tea, and palm oil).
Tobacco is a labour-intensive sector, employing six million people directly and indirectly throughout its value chain, from tobacco and clove farmers, employees of manufacturers, to retailers.
The sector is also one of the biggest and reliable contributors to the state revenue, with a value of IDR 137.9 trillion in 2016 through excise taxes. In the past five years, it has contributed around 10% of all government tax earnings – 4 to10 times higher than in other countries in the world.
Indonesia has been a net exporter of tobacco products, with the sector adding more than US$ 500 million to the state's revenue on top of its excise contribution. The country is also listed as the world's second largest producer-exporter of manufactured tobacco products, surpassing Korea, Russia, China, and the US.
The Tobacco sector still faces a number of key issues in some regulations and policies. The Member Forum, consisting of 3 (three) leading tobacco companies in Indonesia, has conducted several meetings in 2017 to continue advocating the sector and to discuss the economic impact of the Tobacco industry with key business players.
Regulatory Consistency on Tobacco Control.

Water employee: Veolia falsified records to get bonuses
December 28, 2010 | Chris O'Malley
Keywords City Government / Government / Government & Economic Development / Indianapolis Department of Waterworks / Local Government / Regulation / Veolia / Water
Indiana governor undecided on appeal of emergency law ruling
Senate passes bill to raise debt ceiling into early December
Judge sides with Legislature in dispute with governor over emergency powers
A supervisor at Indianapolis Water has told state regulators the private operator of the city-owned utility falsified records to earn performance bonuses.
Tom Plummer's testimony, filed Tuesday with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, is part of a ratepayer group's effort to stop the city from paying Veolia Water a $29 million contract-termination fee.
The IURC is weighing the city's request to sell the utility to Citizens Energy Group for $1.9 billion.
Consumer Ratepayers, a group that includes Plummer and 10 other water customers, on Dec. 17 alleged Veolia effectively defaulted on its management contract with the city on numerous occasions.
As such, the city could terminate the contract "for cause" and not pay Veolia the $29 million, they contend.
Underlying the complaint is their attempt to win money for salaried water employees they allege had their benefits gutted following the city's purchase of the water utility eight years ago and subsequent management contract with Veolia.
Their complaint is the first relatively contentious filing in the IURC case and threatens to at least slow the commission's deliberations on the sale request.
Plummer is identified as a 31-year employee who now works as operating supervisor in the utility's central control station, which distributes water to eight counties in the metro area.
"I have personal knowledge of false record-keeping by US Filter/Veolia," Plummer testified, referring to the previous name of Veolia's water operations.
"Several Indianapolis Water employees told me that they were asked by (Veolia) personnel to alter records in order to make it appear that (the company) had earned an incentive payment when in fact the unchanged records would not have supported the claim for the incentive payment," Plummer said in the complaint.
He alleges that Veolia earned $294,000 in 2003 because it reported that it met a one-hour response criteria for 106 water emergencies, "this in spite of the fact that there were over 600 water-main breaks" that year.
"It was clear that many more of those main breaks would have been emergencies if not for under-reporting. Many employees have told me that (Veolia) personnel asked them to alter times recorded and events logged in so as to falsely show that the repair call was responded to within one hour, when in fact it took longer," Plummer said
He pointed to a 2004 investigation by federal and state regulators into Veolia's operations, when the number of emergency calls jumped to 485 from 106 in 2003.
"Except for more honest record-keeping, it would be difficult to imagine that many more emergencies in just one year," he added.
A 2005 memo by a Veolia manager showed that the Environmental Protection Agency, with assistance from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the FBI, were conducting an investigation of Veolia's Indianapolis operations.
Ultimately the U.S. Attorney's Office in Indianapolis did not file charges.
Nevertheless, the ratepayer group argues that the city has ample instances of impropriety to terminate Veolia's contract for cause and therefore not pay it $29 million for the remainder of its 20-year contract with the city.
Plummer and the other members of the ratepayer group ask the commission to require the city to pay salaried workers money for benefits that they allege were eliminated or reduced after the city bought the utility from Merrillville-based NiSource eight years ago. At the least, Indianapolis Water customers should receive that money, they say.
Plummer's group pointed to numerous statements made by city officials, including a July 2001 letter to water employees by then-Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson, which states that the new management structure "will honor all employee benefit agreements, including the current bargaining units and collective bargaining agreements."
The group filed with the commission a review by Indianapolis accounting firm Isenberg & Chivington that pegs damages resulting from reduced benefits over a projected 26-year period at $47.7 million.
Non-union water company employees had sued over the benefit reductions previously. But ultimately a court found the city could not be held liable because the promises were made to employees before the city took control of the waterworks.
"Obviously, the IURC has the authority as an independent agency of government to make the city comply with commitments made to the IURC when the city obtained commission approval to buy the waterworks," Plummer said.
The ratepayer group estimates that non-union employees have been denied about $16.5 million in benefits since the city acquired the water utility in 2002. Indianapolis water customers should receive at least that much in the form of a rebate, should the commission elect not to order that amount paid to non-union employees, the group says.
A spokesman for Veolia said the claims by the ratepayers group "are baseless and some are factually inaccurate." The company is preparing a response to be filed with the commission.
City officials said the $29 million termination fee amount was agreed upon through mediation and provides that Veolia will continue to manage the water utility until the deal with Citizens is closed. That's not expected to come until the first quarter of next year at the earliest.
Citizens said it expects to hire nearly all of Veolia's 436 employees at the water utility.
Mayor Greg Ballard championed the sale as a way for the city to free up more than $425 million for city infrastructure improvements. Proponents also say the deal will save $60 million a year by consolidating the water utility under Citizens' gas, steam and chilled-water operations.
Asked as part of his testimony whether Plummer anticipates his job could be in jeopardy, he said "I don't anticipate that retribution will occur."
"What's right is right, and the non-union employees at Indianapolis Water were lied to … . We just want what was promised to us, promised to the City-County Council and promised to the IURC," he said.

Q: How do I identify whether a number is an integer? This a script that deals with javascript and var type identifications. What you see below is a small project that I'm doing. It is supposed to calculate the x1 and x2 values of the quadratic equation. The problem that I'm having is that I'm unable to make the program identify whether or not the results are in INTEGER form or else
here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="matrix_style.css">
<title>JS Calculator</title>

     <form name="table_1" >

           Insert your equation:

            <input type="text" name="number1"  >

            <input type="text" name="number2"  >

            <input type="text" name="number3"  >

    </form>

     <form name="calculator">

           Result:

            <input type="text" name="total_1"  >

            <input type="text" name="total_2"  >

            <input type="text" name="total_3" >

            <input type="button" value="result" id="submit" onclick="javascript:result();">
    </form>

A: That if(return ans_1%1===0 && return ans_2%===0 ) is a syntax error, it should be
if(ans_1%1===0 && ans_2%1===0 )

The return  was out of place there and the check for ans_2 was missing the modulus operand.
Additionally, you're passing a subtraction to Math.pow(), which may be negative (resulting in a NaN).

A: There's no such thing as an "Integer", aka whole number, in Javascript, only Numbers.
The easiest way to check if they are whole numbers is to round them and compare to the original value:
if(Math.round(ans_1) === ans_1 && Math.round(ans_2) === ans_2)
{
    document.calculator.total_1.value = ans_1;
    document.calculator.total_2.value = ans_2;
}
else
{
    document.calculator.total_3.value = ans_3;
}

A:
Check for a remainder when dividing by 1:

function isInt(n) {
   return n % 1 === 0;
}

If you don't know that the argument is a number-

function isInt(n){
        return Number(n)===n && n%1===0;
}

is_int() => Check if the variable type is Integer and if its
  content is Integer
is_float() => Check if the variable type is Float and if its
  content is Float

1. A person collects and keeps a lot of items, even things that appear useless or of little value to most people.
2. These items clutter the living spaces and keep the person from using their rooms as they were intended.
3. These items cause distress or problems in day-to-day activities.
How is hoarding different from collecting?
• In hoarding, people seldom seek to display their possessions, which are usually kept in disarray.
• In collecting, people usually proudly display their collections and keep them well organized. What are the signs of compulsive hoarding?
• Refusing to let people into the home to make repairs.
What makes getting rid of clutter difficult for hoarders?
Who struggles with hoarding behavior?
Hoarding behaviors can begin as early as the teenage years, although the average age of a person seeking treatment for hoarding is about 50. Hoarders often endure a lifelong struggle with hoarding. They tend to live alone and may have a family member with the problem. It seems likely that serious hoarding problems are present in at least 1in 50 people, but they may be present in as many as 1 in 20.
Are hoarding and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) related?
Compulsive hoarding was commonly considered to be a type of OCD. Some estimate that as many as 1 in 4 people with OCD also have compulsive hoarding. Recent research suggests that nearly 1 in 5 compulsive hoarders have non-hoarding OCD symptoms. Compulsive hoarding is also considered a feature of obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and may develop along with other mental illnesses, such as dementia and schizophrenia.
What kinds of things do people hoard?
Most often, people hoard common possessions, such as paper (e.g., mail, newspapers), books, clothing and containers (e.g., boxes, paper and plastic bags). Some people hoard garbage or rotten food. More rarely, people hoard animals or human waste products. Often the items collected are valuable but far in excess of what can reasonably be used.
What are the effects of hoarding?
Can compulsive hoarding be treated?
• Developing a plan to prevent future clutter.
How can I help a hoarding friend or family member de-clutter?
• Until the person is internally motivated to change they may not accept your offer to help. • Motivation cannot be forced.
• Everyone, including people who hoard, has a right to make choices about their objects and how they live.
• People who hoard are often ambivalent about accepting help and throwing away objects.
Can't compulsive hoarding be solved by simply cleaning out the home?
No. Attempts to "clean out" the homes of people who hoard without treating the underlying problem usually fail. Families and community agencies may spend many hours and thousands of dollars clearing a home only to find that the problem recurs, often within just a few months. Hoarders whose homes are cleared without their consent often experience extreme distress and may become further attached to their possessions. This may lead to their refusal of future help.
How do I have a conversation with my friend of family member who is ready to talk about hoarding?
• Respect. Acknowledge that the person has a right to make their own decisions at their own pace.
• Have sympathy. Understand that everyone has some attachment to the things they own. Try to understand the importance of their items to them.
• Encourage. Come up with ideas to make their home safer, such as moving clutter from doorways and halls.
• Team up with them. Don't argue about whether to keep or discard an item; instead, find out what will help motivate the person to discard or organize.
• Reflect. Help the person to recognize that hoarding interferes with the goals or values the person may hold. For example, by de-cluttering the home, a person may host social gatherings and have a richer social life.
• Ask. To develop trust, never throw anything away without asking permission.

(Paperback) - 05/01/2012
Furgul is a puppy born in a slave camp for racing greyhounds. But he has a terrible secret - he is only part greyhound. When the cruel owner of the camp recognises Furgul's impure origins he takes him to be killed, but Furgul manages a spectacular escape. Now Furgul must confront the indifference, complexity, and ferocity of the greater world, a world in which there seems to be two choices: live the comfortable life of a pet and sacrifice freedom; or live the life of a free dog, glorious but also dangerous, because every man will turn his hand against you.

Stoney Creek NHL prospect named OHL player of the month
Hamilton | Hockey | Latest News | Sports |
Published January 3, 2023 at 5:39 pm
Stoney Creek hockey player Francesco Pinelli (Robert Lefebvre, OHL Images)
Francesco Pinelli had a Demember to remember, which paid off in the Stoney Creek puck-chaser earning player-of-the-month recognition in the Ontario Hockey League.
The 19-year-old Los Angeles Kings prospect, who is captain of the Kitchener Rangers, received the honour after racking up eight goals, 13 assists and 21 points in nine games last month, along with a plus/minus rating of plus-12. Pinelli spurred Kitchener to a .700 point percentage (6-2-2-0 record) last month, helping the Rangers improve their playoff position in the Western Conference.
Highlights of Pinelli's point binge included at a hat trick against the rival Guelph Storm on Dec. 3, and a run of games just before the holiday break where he had 11 points in three games. Pinelli had at least two points in six out of the nine games he appeared in last month. Pinelli, for the season, has 21 goals and 43 points across 27 games.
Pinelli signed an NHL entry-level deal last April with L.A., which chose him in the second round (42nd overall) in the 2021 draft.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound centre is not even the only member his family who is the leading point-earner on his OHL team. Luca Pinelli, Francesco's brother, shares the scoring lead for the first-overall Ottawa 67's, with 39 points in 33 games. The younger Pinelli has been selected for the CHL-NHL Top Prospects Game, an NHL draft showcase which takes place in Langley, B.C., on Jan. 25.
Pavel Mintyukov (Saginaw Spirit, Anaheim Ducks) was named defenceman of the month for the third time in a row, which is an OHL first. Anson Thornton (Barrie Colts, Arizona Coyotes) was named goaltender of the month, and Saginaw defenceman Zayne Parekh earned the nod as rookie of the month.
