This paper discusses the legal framework governing the employment of foreigners in Indonesia as well as the recruitment of Indonesians for employment abroad. It also sets out in detail the necessary procedures for obtaining a work permit.

By an examination of the legal test which sets the standard of care in medical negligence cases - the so-called "Bolam test" - and its application by the courts in the resolution of three basic questions raised by the treatment of patients, this article maintains that English judges have tended to reduce questions about what the law ought to be to questions about what doctors, or a body of doctors, actually do or think. This tendency will be criticized as the delegation of judicial responsibility, a delegation which is particularly inappropriate when the matters delegated to medical opinion fall outside medical competence.

Under section 73 of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act, the insured can easily create a trust of the life policy taken out by him. Unfortunately, however, problems often occur. Such a statutory trust has in many a case been unwittingly created by the life assured without his ever realising the full consequences of what he had done. The present article discusses how this unwarranted situation can arise (including the different kinds of interests thereby constituted) as well as how the resulting trust may drastically restrict the insured's rights and options under the policy.

Trade mark owners have increasingly been acting similarly to those they accuse of infringement or dilution of their marks. They are acting as “ownfringers”. They have been engaging in previously unheard-of competitor collaborations, collaborations with businesses in distant spaces, and self-parody. These trends typify how trade mark owners are increasingly behaving like the third parties they pursue for infringement. How should trade mark law think about these new, prevalent behaviours by mark owners? Perhaps it is just par for the course because mark owners have the right to use their marks in commerce in ways that would constitute infringement if done by third parties. Even so, by engaging in ownfringement, trade mark owners are potentially altering the balance or calculus of a number of fundamental aspects of trade mark doctrine. I explore three important doctrinal impacts of ownfringement: on likelihood of consumer confusion, trade mark distinctiveness and self-dilution, and the parody defence.

This article examines and attempts to refute the proposition that prerogatives at common law exist in Malaysia by virtue of devolution from the Crown onto the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. It goes on to consider the possibility of prerogatives existing in Malaysia by virtue of the vesting of executive power under the Constitution, drawing a distinction in this regard between external and domestic prerogatives, and concludes with an analysis of the problem of the royal assent which was resolved by the constitutional crisis of 1983/4.
