INDIA – India’s Recommendations To Amend The Laws On Bankruptcy Are Bold And Necessary
Finally, there will be some urgency and good judgment in India’s bankruptcies in court. The government said on Wednesday (July 17, 2019) it would amend the insolvency law of 2016, a signature reform of the first term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Investors are going to cheer up. The law became mired in frustrating legal delays and strange decisions, threatening to scare off worldwide investors from a $200 billion-plus debt cleanup. As I mentioned, the order would have decreased an assured recovery rate of 92% to just 61% for financial lenders. Although it has already been appealed in India’s Supreme Court by State Bank of India and other lenders, it is useful that the state has chosen to get off the sidelines. By amending the bankruptcy code, animal spirits will not be revived overnight, but it would at least stop an indefinitely worse unfortunate scenario.

The government of Narendra Modi is developing a legislative package for reforms in the water sector, including a model law to manage what has become the scarcest resource in more than a third of the districts of the country. The government has recognized as highly water-depleted 1,592 blocks in 256 districts. Discussions are on in Jal Shakti, as the Ministry of Water Resources is now called upon, to introduce a model law on water resources regulatory processes to be established by each state government, as the task of replenishing water resources falls squarely within the domain of the countries, according to a constitutional division of jurisdictions.

CANADA – Vancouver ‘Kink’ Society Is Locked In A Legal Battle With The Exiled Dungeon Master
A non-profit society dedicated to the kink community of Vancouver is locked up in a legal combat with a Burnaby dungeon master who claims to have been unfairly and openly accused of sexual abuse. Seann Lyncaster – also known as Lord Braven – sued last year the directors of the Metro Vancouver Kink Society in the aftermath of an open letter and two city halls alleging wrongdoing at Braven Manor, his Burnaby home.

INDIA – Justice Stalled In Gujarat Courts For More Than Half A Century
Justice delayed is said to be denied justice. The wait in Gujarat has lasted over half a century in some cases. Take the case of Harishankar Gorkha, who has been awaiting trial for the last 54 years. In a Surendranagar court, when he was a young person under the age of 16, a case was recorded against him. However, this is not the oldest pending case in Gujarat.

USA – BRAUN: How Many Drinks Is A Driver Allowed To Have? What About Zero?
A worried citizen lately alerted York Regional Police to a King Township alleged drunk driver. He’s not alone in questioning if zero alcohol would help drivers solve the issue. “That makes it simpler for most individuals to make a choice. It’s cut and dried if it’s zero.” No more dithering about whether or not two beers are too much. They are no longer asking about just another glass of wine. Zero tolerance is the law for under-21 and novice drivers (i.e. licenses for G1 and G2), and it is also zero for commercial drivers. So why not for every driver? “The legal limit of 0.08 — what does it mean? Most people don’t understand until they’re blowing into a machine with a policeman on the side of the highway,” Pattenden added. “Zero is the safest quantity.”

CANADA – Animals On Factory Farms Neglected Under New Animal Welfare Law
The Supreme Court of Canada held in a true head-scratcher in June 2016 that sexual contact with an animal was legal as long as there was no penetration. Whatever uncertainty it generated for Canadians is now gone. The new animal welfare law of the Trudeau government, adopted by Parliament last month, stipulates that any sexual contact with an animal is illegal and toughened the laws against bestiality and other off-beat animal abuse practices. One might argue that the government is cracking down on the worst animal mistreatment, perhaps in reaction to enhanced public sensitivity. While the new legislation will assist safeguard a comparatively tiny amount of animals from their owners’ unwanted sexual advances, it does not provide any protection whatsoever for the hundreds of millions of animals residing in miserable, pain-filled life trapped within our factory farming system, says Linda McQuaig (a journalist and author).
USA – ‘Bring Your Dogs In’: Animal Control To Strengthen The Law On Dog Tethering

The punishment for breaking Danville’s ordinance is a Class 2 misdemeanour with possible jail time and up to $1,000 in fine.
UNITED KINGDOM – Horror As Three Million Animals Tested In The UK Last Year
Figures released yesterday by the UK government show that in 2018, 3.4 million animals were abused in UK laboratories. Animal welfare organization Naturewatch Foundation is calling for a law change as it is a criminal offence to reveal what happens to pets in laboratories testing. Sarah Carr, campaign manager of the Naturewatch Foundation, called animal treatment in UK laboratories “torture.” The foundation thinks that the use of non-human pets to test the hazards of chemicals to human health is ethically incorrect. Scientifically, animal test precision is not always applicable to all animals, including controversial humans, it said. We need to stop innocent animal torture in the UK and around the world.
