Limitation Periods by Professor Andrew McGee is a well-established and definitive text now in its ninth edition. Professor McGee steers practitioners through the complexities of the law of limitations, giving detailed guidance in all areas of law from preliminary issues to proceedings. The book is designed to help bring an action in good time and remedy delays which may lead to striking out. The book covers European and international limitation issues.
Provides guidance on time limitations in all areas of law, from preliminary issues to proceedings.
In a notoriously complex and confusing area of law with over 150 statutory time limits appropriate to specific causes of action this time-proven title cuts through the complexity to focus on what you need to know, saving you research and planning time.
Tells when time starts to run, how long the limitation period is, and the consequences of expiry in differing circumstances therefore helps the practitioner manage casework so that actions are begun within the required period.
Although with the expiry of the limitation period the conventional remedy is barred, the plaintiffs right is not extinguished. The book points out the options still available on expiry and the many exceptions to the rules that may apply.
The chapters are arranged so that actions in different areas of law are dealt with separately. The chapter on Disability, for example, explains the disabilities covered and the protections provided for the running (and stopping) of limitation periods for such persons.
All procedural matters are covered, with separate chapters on, for example, Pleading Questions (examining the issues arising from the pleading of a limitation point: how and when to plead, burden of proof, foregoing the statute, estoppel, etc.) and Procedural Delays.
Analyses the judgments in new case law, such as the Supreme Court judgment in Test Claimants in the Franked Investment Income Group Litigation v Revenue and Customs Commissioners and the Court of Appeal in Matthew v Sedman, and explains the implications for future actions and decisions.
Covers European, including updates following Brexit, and international limitation period issues.

Civil Fraud 1st Edition, 1st Supplement
Civil Fraud: Law, Practice and Procedure is designed to be the primary port of call for all practitioners conducting a civil fraud case. It deals with the subject in a comprehensive manner, combining in-depth legal analysis with a practical approach. The authors focus throughout on the real-life situations which litigants in this area regularly encounter and offer effective guidance on the complex practical and procedural issues which can arise.
The First Supplement comprehensively updates the law since the First Edition, including in light of leading cases such as Convoy Collateral v Broad Idea in the Privy Council (jurisprudential basis for freezing and Chabra injunctions), Racing Partnership in the Court of Appeal (unlawful means conspiracy), Wood v Commercial First in the Court of Appeal (bribery and secret commissions) and Rembrandt in the Court of Appeal (test for inducement in deceit), as well as the new Part 81 governing committal for contempt of court and the jurisdictional consequences of the Brexit legislation.
The book starts with an examination of common factual and legal scenarios in a fraud case, which can be difficult to navigate even for the most experienced litigators. The remainder of the text develops the legal, practical and procedural issues flowing from such scenarios.
The authors, drawing on a wealth of experience in litigating fraud claims, bring together the disparate areas of the law that fall under the label fraud, from the substantive causes of action common law, restitutionary and equitable claims and claims arising under statute through to remedies.
The book provides a full and comprehensible treatment of the myriad procedural swords and shields which can be used in fraud litigation, including freezing orders, proprietary and other injunctions, search orders, receivership, ancillary orders and the increasingly-used contempt jurisdiction. It also considers the key international aspects of civil fraud litigation. This is a primary single source point of reference which avoids the need to navigate a whole series of texts in a field where practitioners often work under considerable time pressure.
Civil Fraud: Law, Practice and Procedure works as a road map to take the practitioner from the moment of initial instructions through to a completed legal and practical analysis, whether at the various interlocutory stages, or at trial.
The book covers the types of claim that arise when a party has been the victim of fraudulent conduct:
Presents a combination of an in-depth analysis of the relevant law, drawing on a wide variety of different causes of action and focused on the issues and problems which litigants encounter in practice
A practical guide to those procedural steps parties can take and the practical challenges they face
Gives full guidance on the competing legal principles and the potential future direction of the law
Advises on how best to approach common fraud factual scenarios
Investigates difficult or developing areas of law, such as in relation to proprietary claims or the principle of piercing the corporate veil
Offers guidance relevant to their case, whether this is in terms of the way in which a fraud case should be presented legally or how applications for early interim remedies should best be made or resisted
Guides the busy practitioner to help them translate the fact pattern with which they are presented in their instructions into the correct legal framework
Maps fact patterns commonly encountered into causes of action that might be pleaded and relief that might be sought in respect thereof and a mechanism which gives the reader a road map from factual instructions to completed legal analysis
Draws together the disparate areas of the law that fraud covers - encompassing breach of contract, tort, equitable claims and restitution, not to mention the international and procedural aspects with which the practitioner has to be familiar
Covers international litigation look at the practical mechanics of enforcing a civil fraud claim overseas - the gathering of evidence from overseas, overseas witnesses and enforcement of judgments overseas

IDS Continuity of Employment 2022
The new edition of the IDS Employment Law Handbook, Continuity of Employment, sets out the statutory rules governing how continuity is calculated. The law in this area can be complex, particularly where a contract of employment ceases to exist between two periods of employment with the same employer or where employment is transferred between employers. However, the Handbook offers a clear and comprehensive examination of the statutory rules and explains the relevant legislation and pertinent case law in a logical and understandable way. It:
sets out the general principles for computing a period of continuous employment and explains how these rules are applied in the ordinary case where an employee is employed for an unbroken period under a contract of employment
deals with the situation where, despite a break in employment, the statutory rules provide for continuity to be preserved; for example, where the employee has been off sick or there has been a temporary cessation of work
discusses those rare situations where a break in employment does not sever continuity as such but nor does it count in computing a period of continuous service; for example, weeks where the employee was on strike
considers continuity of employment where there has been a change of employer; for example, where there has been a transfer of a business or undertaking.
This Handbook is an authoritative and indispensable guide to an important area of employment law that underpins many of the statutory employment protection rights available to employees

Christina Applegate on More Babies... and Why Cancer Still Scares Her
Actress and new mom Christina Applegate is on the April cover of Health magazine, talking about having another baby -- and the cancer she battled four years ago.
"I'm probably more -- unfortunately, at this point -- paranoid than I'd ever been before about when I go get my checkups and everything," revealed Applegate to Health. "I'm just scared. And I don't want to be."
But she'd love to give a brother or sister to her 14-month old daughter, Sadie. "I would love to have one more. I know I'm 40, and people are gonna say, 'Hmm...' I'll probably have to harvest in the next year [laughs] to make sure we have a backup plan."
On the similarities between her hit NBC show, "Up All Night," and her life, Christina said, "The birth episode had a lot of things that happened during my birth, having to have a headband and having my competition with myself pushing."

Q: Como usar Regex para representar uma BNF mais complexa? Preciso criar um programa com Regex que represente as seguintes BNF's:
<list> ::= <element><list> | <element>
<element> ::= <letter><digit>
<letter> ::= A | B
<digit> ::= 1|2

Para a BNF acima tentei gerar um programa mas acredito que não esteja tão correto assim:
import re

r = re.compile('^[A-B-1-2]+$')

print(r.match('A1'))
print(r.match('A2B1'))

<exp> ::= <exp> + <exp> | <term>
<term> ::= <term> * <term> | <factor>
<factor> ::= ( <exp> ) | <digit>
<digit> ::= 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

E preciso implementar também um programa com Regex representando a BNF acima.

A: Conforme informado nos comentários, regex não é a ferramenta ideal para isso (lá são sugeridas opções mais adequadas), e sobre este assunto, também sugiro que leia aqui e aqui. Dito isso, vamos à regex.

A primeira BNF diz que "element" se repete uma ou mais vezes. Por sua vez, um "element" é uma sequência de uma letra A ou B, seguido de um dígito 1 ou 2.
O problema é que você usou [A-B-1-2], que significa "letra A ou B, ou hífen, ou 1 ou 2". Ou seja, ela até pega casos válidos como "A1" e "A2B1" mas também pega casos inválidos como "---" e "1212A". Se a ideia é fazer sempre uma letra e um dígito alternados, e esta sequência pode se repetir várias vezes, a regex deveria ser:
r = re.compile('^([AB][12])+$')

Assim, eu tenho [AB] (letra A ou B), seguido de [12] (dígito 1 ou 2), e esta sequência se repete uma ou mais vezes.

A segunda é um pouco mais complicada e acho que não é possível com regex, pois a definição dela é recursiva (e sem um caso base):

*

*"factor" pode ser um "exp" entre parênteses

*"exp" pode ser um "term"

*"term" pode ser um "factor"

*"factor" pode ser um "exp" entre parênteses

*...

Claro que existe regex recursiva, mas o Python não suporta nativamente (e sinceramente, é um negócio tão complicado que questiono se valeria a pena usar).
Mas apenas para deixar registrado, usei o módulo regex (que possui suporte à regex recursiva) e tentei implementar este pequeno "monstrinho":
import regex

r = regex.compile(r"""(?(DEFINE)
       (?<digit>     (?: [0-9] ) )
       (?<factor>    (?: \( (?&exp) \) | (?&digit) ) )
       (?<term>      (?: (?&term) \* (?&term) | (?&factor) ) )
       (?<exp>       (?: (?&exp) \+ (?&exp) | (?&term)  ) )
    )
    ^ (?&exp) $
""", regex.VERBOSE)

Basicamente ela tenta usar sub-rotinas, que permite que se use a mesma sub-expressão recursivamente.
Mas ao rodar, deu um MemoryError. Testei essa mesma regex no site regex101.com e ocorreu um "engine error" (veja aqui):

The match was halted because your expression contains a recursive loop. This means either that the whole pattern, or a subpattern, has been called recursively for the second time at the same position in the subject string.

Ou seja, eu acho que não é possível, justamente por ter uma definição recursiva (uma expressão que pode ter termos, que podem ter fatores, que podem ser outras expressões, etc) e sem um caso base no qual ela pode se encerrar.

When I working in the brothels, I met members of the Starfish Project outreach team. They invited me to come to work for the organization in March of 2012. I worked at Starfish Project for three years, but decided to leave to spend more time with my son. We moved to a different part of the country so he could attend culinary school. Upon his graduation, we returned to our Headquarters city and I rejoined Starfish Project on May 4th 2016! I work on our production team now, and love making long necklaces with pendants.
I have many significant memories since I've been at Starfish Project, but one of my favorites is from an annual retreat we took a couple years ago. At the retreat we celebrated Starfish Project's 10th anniversary! It was amazing hearing all the stories from the past 10 years and seeing how much we have grown as a company. I also loved reuniting with my coworkers and friends from the Riverside Branch. We had a great time celebrating as a big Starfish Project family.
Having the opportunity to study has also been really significant for me. I have recently completed and earned my Microsoft Word Certificate and am now taking Microsoft Outlook and math classes. My current goal is to get certified in Microsoft Outlook.

The differences between high-resolution Doppler radar observations and previous investigations on tropical convection of large cumulus clouds may be attributed to the different instrumentation used and the varying conditions under which data were collected. To eliminate these variances, Radar chaff-tracing techniques should be employed. However, the authors' attest that trajectory analyses that are ground-based and based on high-resolution airborne radar provide a better picture of thunderstorms.

CHICAGO, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The robust growth projected for the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market will usher in lower electric bills for all Illinois consumers—including those who don't own a car—if policy makers adopt key measures necessary to unleash the savings, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the Citizens Utility Board (CUB).
The research is believed to be the nation's first analysis conducted by a consumer watchdog group into how the surging popularity of EVs on American roadways will impact electric customers and the power grid. The study, Charging Ahead: Deriving Value from Electric Vehicles for All Electricity Customers, is posted on the Research page of CitizensUtilityBoard.org.


A homogeneous set of large liturgical manuscripts – antiphonaries and graduals from the collections of the Strahov Library has been digitised. Individual codices come from the period between the end of the 15th century and the 17th century. The oldest of them is the gradual of Friars Minor DA I 4, probably of Silesian origin, which was later owned by the monastery in Znojmo. Gradual DA I 5 was made directly in the Strahov monastery at the beginning of the 17th century. It was written by the Premonstratensian scribe Jan Václav Šícha and commissioned by the abbot of the Strahov monastery Johann Lohel. The other codices (DA I 1–3) are of foreign origin. Like DA I 5, they are quite richly decorated, but the quality of the illuminations is not considered as high.

FansBet ambassador and ex-England goalkeeper Paul Robinson gives us his thoughts ahead of England's Euro 2020 qualifying game against Bulgaria.
14th October 2019 | Bulgaria, Euro 2020 Qualifiers, Football, England Paul Robinson
After a disappointing performance on Friday that saw England suffer defeat at the hands of the Czech Republic, Gareth Southgate's men will desperately be looking to seal qualification for next year's European Championship with an away win against Bulgaria tonight.
The defeat against Czech Republic will have come as a shock to many fans, after England were victorious against them earlier in the year with a 5-0 win.
England manager Southgate will probably call for some changes after so many of his players on Friday night underperformed.
In my opinion, the defence has to change. I think Southgate should revert back to the three at the back and two wings backs, a formation that that served them so well before and during the last World Cup campaign.
However, the defensive problems don't just lie across the back four. When looking at England's midfield, it is porous and offers little protection to the fragile back four.
If I had to select one player that I would have in my the starting XI, I think it is Harry Winks. The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder offers more than others in his position, both offensively and defensively. Using four attacking players against the Czech Republic left us extremely vulnerable and I think tonight we should be setting up in a 3-5-2 formation.
Bulgaria v England: OVER 2 Goals, OVER 3 Cards & OVER 10 Corners WAS 5.50 now 6.00*
Harry Kane to Score First Goal WAS 3.00 NOW 3.50*
Ahead of tonight's game, Bulgaria sit rock bottom of Group A with three losses and three draws from their games in the qualifiers.
When looking at FIFA rankings, Bulgaria are 18 places below the Czech Republic, and have failed to win any of their last 10 games across all competitions – a run which will have stretched back more than a year.
An opposition like Bulgaria means that England should surely take home a win, with the home team's hopes of qualifying for Euro 2020 via this competition over.
In addition, it's been 10-years since England lost back-to-back away games in any competition, meaning that Southgate will no doubt demand a sharp response from his side after such a poor performance in Prague.
If you want my prediction, I am going for a 3-1 England win with Sterling making the score sheet.
Sterling to Score Anytime & England to Win 3-1 – WAS 20.00 NOW 25.00*
*all odds are subject to change

3 hospital staff show symptoms after H7N9 contact
By Central News Agency
Taipei, April 24 (CNA) Three hospital personnel have developed respiratory symptoms after coming into contact with Taiwan's first confirmed case of H7N9 avian flu, the Central Epidemic Command Center said Wednesday. All three had taken proper protective measures when providing medical care for the patient, a 53-year-old man who fell ill three days after retuning from China's Jiangsu Province, one of the H7N9-affected areas, the center said. A survey of the epidemic situation showed that 139 local people had come into contact with the man, a Taiwanese businessman based in Jiangsu's Suzhou area, the center said.
Three of them had close contact, 26 had contact more than seven days ago (putting them past the infectious period) and 110 are hospital personnel, the center said.
Four of the hospital personnel have also passed the infectious period and have not developed symptoms, the center said.
A further three of the hospital personnel did not take proper protective measures when treating or caring for the patient, but none of them have so far shown any symptoms, the center said, adding that they will be strictly monitored until April 27. The epidemic control center said that all those who have had contact with the patient have been served notice urging them to engage in self-health management. They will also be subject to close monitoring until their respective infectious periods expire, the center said, adding that public health officials will help people on the watch list to get medical treatment should they develop flu-like symptoms such as fever or coughing.
The quasi-official Straits Exchange Foundation said Wednesday it has posted information about the imported H7N9 case in Taiwan on its website and urged the Taiwanese trade association in Suzhou to help push Taiwanese residents in the region to step up epidemic prevention measures and provide them with news updates. China reported the world's first confirmed H7N9 human infections March 31, and as of April 23, 108 cases had been confirmed there, with 22 deaths.
Two of China's largest cities -- Shanghai and Beijing -- as well as five Chinese provinces -- Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Henan and Shandong -- have reported confirmed infections. As of 8 a.m. Wednesday, Taiwan had reported 129 suspected H7N9 cases, 128 of which have been ruled out as H7N9 infections, said Chou Jih-haw, deputy director-general of the Centers for Disease Control under the Department of Health.
The center said it had informed the World Health Organization and China of Taiwan's first H7N9 case earlier in the day, Chou said.
It was also the first H7N9 case outside China.

John Amplas is an American actor known primarily for his work with director George A. Romero. His first work with Romero was the cult classic Martin (1977), a film that strikingly deconstructed the vampire myth, in which he played the title role. Thereafter, he has appeared in a number of other films directed by Romero, including Dawn of the Dead (1978), Knightriders (1981), Creepshow (1982), and Day of the Dead" (1985). He has recently acted in a horror concept teaser entitled The Three (2011) directed by filmmaker Scott Goldberg which also features co-lead from "Day of the Dead", Lori Cardille.
I had the privilege to talk with John in May 2011.
GS: You had plenty of stage time, but no real time behind the camera before "Martin". Even more interesting, perhaps, is that you didn't know who George Romero was. How did you two end up together (and doing many projects since)?
JA: I met George when I was a senior in college, I was 27. George saw me in a play. He was writing "Martin". He had an older character in mind but after seeing my performance rewrote the character and offered me the role and that lead to us working together in six of his films. I guess he liked my work. I knew of NOTLD but did not have a strong interest in the genre but liked working with him.
GS: Is there a story from the set of "Martin" that has never been told?
JA: Yes, there is, but I am not going to tell it.
GS: You said that the horror genre was not something that you had much interest in. Has that changed?
JA: My interest has not changed but my appreciation for the genre has changed. How could it not after the cult phenomenon of "Martin" and being a part of George's legacy in the genre. It afforded me the opportunity to work as an actor in film. My greatest discovery was finally making contact with fans, I had no idea there were so many people with a love for the genre and the people that worked in it. The fans are the fuel that keep the genre alive. I can't help but appreciate their dedication and love. There are so many fans from all walks of life who all have one thing in common, films that they love and the people that make them. I love them! They are who and what I appreciate most.
GS: Romero is most known for his zombie films, but I think some of his best work is in "Martin" and "Monkey Shines". Where do you see his strengths?
JA: I am biased, but for my money "Martin" is his best and most personal film. As for George's strengths, first and foremost is his humanity! He is a kind and decent person with a great sense of humor. As a film maker he can do it all. He writes, directs, can run the camera, he's a terrific editor, and can act as well. Now coming from an actor's point of view, I appreciate him most as a director who knows how to work with actors. A skill not found in all directors, be it in film or on stage.
GS: I've never seen "Bloodeaters", and based on the reviews, neither have most other people. What was that one and how did you fit in?
JA: Hmmm! I was out of work in New York, auditioned for a student film, it out to be the one you mentioned. I had no business doing it and made little or no money. I don't remember ever seeing it. A fan recently sent it to me. I still haven't watched it. Maybe someday.
GS: I've also never seen "Knightriders", and it seems hard to track down. Yet, I have met many people who worked on this film that swear by it as a classic. Is it not getting the acclaim it deserves?
JA: I think Knightriders is terrific. It was Ed Harris' first feature. It could be that because it's a departure from George's "Dead" series, it hasn't gotten quite the attention it deserves.
GS: Another lesser-known film is "Midnight", a hidden gem written and directed by John Russo and special effects with Tom Savini. How did this one go under our collective radar?
GS: Your role in "Creepshow" had you completely in makeup and costume… what is it like as an actor to accept a role where no one can see your face?
JA: You still play the character. The objective is to get what you want, makeup or not, and Nathan got his cake in the end. I think I got the job because Savini needed a slight guy to fit the costume which represented the body of a skeleton. I was easily 40 pounds lighter in those days! The head was a full mask, the hands had gloves and it all had to be physically moveable, with the jaw, etc… One week to design and build makeup, one week of shooting and Dead Nate was in the can. I worked with some great people — Ed Harris again, Carrie Nye (head on the plate) and the wonderful Vivica Lindfors!
GS: Normally I ask people for dirt on David Hasselhoff. But I'll make my first exception for you. Do you have any dirt on Scott Baio?
JA: Scott Baio was a really good guy to work with. He was very professional, and I liked him a lot! I think he is a good actor, too, and is underrated in that regard. His work in "The Bread, My Sweet" was great, I thought.
GS: I have heard that you have more recently moved from acting to directing on the stage. Both in films and in theater, it seems that many actors sooner or later move to directing… what is the appeal?
JA: Not so recently, as I have been directing plays for 31 years! But never films, although I have thought about it quite a bit. I think it is a natural progression for those of us that have acted that move into directing. It provides a chance to interpret the whole story, to have a vision for the play's or film's entire dramatic action. An opportunity to create on a larger canvas, so to speak.
GS: We haven't seen you in the movies for nearly a decade, John. Where are you hiding?
JA: I'm not hiding, but rather working as an actor on stage, directing and teaching. Look at my website (johnamplas.com). I am an Associate Professor at Point Park University / Pittsburgh Playhouse. But you're right… not a lot in front of the camera. I do miss it. I am very interested in getting more actively involved in film work again. Got any connections?


Pure speed for unconditional offense: five Ayous-plies surrounded by two rigid Hinoki-plies provide an incomparable penetrating power. Even with slightly slower arm movements precise and hard strokes can be achieved. The core of more elastic Ayous-wood permits dangerous top-spin strokes from half-distance. For absolute offensive players with good technical skills willing to take risks.
