The action was brought as a test case to determine the legal rights of the Meriam people to land on the islands of Mer, Dauar and Waier in the Torres Strait, which were annexed to the state of Queensland in 1879. Prior to British contact the Meriam people had lived on the islands in a subsistence economy based on cultivation and fishing. Land on the islands was not subject of public or general community ownership, but was regarded as belonging to individuals or groups. In 1985 the Queensland Government attempted to terminate the proceedings by enacting the Queensland Coast Islands Declaratory Act 1985, which declared that on annexation of the islands in 1879, title to the islands was vested in the state of Queensland "freed from all other

Legal Analyses YEAGER v. DICKERSON Synopsis The case was based on Donna Yeager as the plaintiff on attorneys who released medical information in the course of a child custody hearing when Yeager asserts a violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The plaintiff claimed of wrongful death, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, invasion of privacy and HIPAA violations as stated on FindLaw. However, the defendants contested that KRS 446.070 does not give Yeager a right of action where a Federal statute preempts state statutes and does not expressly provide such a right (FindLaw, n.d.).
Brownian Becker was born to survive whatever was thrown at her . For not only did she face losing her family, but she also faced being killed in a bomb raid or suffocating in a cave all during the holocaust. When Brownian's hometown of Kwanzaa was attacked she was taken into custody by the Nazis and forced to work in a small shop in Lederberg Poland, but when Burgle was bombed she set out on foot and ended up back in her hometown of Kiowa, where after she found her family the Nazis took 300 men between ages 18 and 60 (including 2 of Brownian's brothers) out into the woods and shot them. But the rest of her family was left to hide from the Nazis, so in order to hide they dug caves underground, but one of those caves had a bad ending.
Mistakes are inevitable. Before Hurricane Katrina most individuals evacuated the areas that were likely to be flooded. Hospitals, including Memorial, were not required to evacuate like everyone else. This meant that over two hundred patients were still in the building and even more staff when Katrina hit. Five Days at Memorial by Sheri Fink explores what happened inside the hospital during the aftermath of the storm and the legal battles that persisted long after the week people were trapped inside the building.
It was a crisp fall day, not too cold, not too hot. It was September 11, 2001. The bright morning sun lit a cloudless blue sky, and birds chirped sweetly in their own beautiful way. All this changed in an instant. On this horrific day in history, thousands of innocent people lost their lives.
However, this should be a learning experience that hospitals have to be more prepared for situations like this to happen. A number of factors like how the Memorial Medical Center was built was a huge problem, the power sources were vulnerable to the hurricane and were damaged. The wall 's structure of the hospitals was too weak and were able to get destroyed before help arrived. The faculty of the hospital were also in need of preparation on how to deal with the situation. We have to keep this in mind and remember that health care professionals will always have the best interest for us for our health and
The novel Five Days at Memorial by Sheri Fink gives an inside view of what happened at Memorial Hospital during Hurricane Katrina (2005); a disaster inside of a disaster. The lack of preparedness or ethical decision making is quite disappointing, considering Memorial hospital is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is well below sea level, and experiences frequent hurricanes and flooding. Memorial hospital itself had little to no plan for evacuating patients once the storm hit. Without power, many of the patients, especially those who were ventilator dependent, became at risk of death.
