This reference book is primarily a procedural work which examines the many forms, customs, and practices which have been developed and established for the House of Commons since Confederation in 1867. It provides a distinctive Canadian perspective in describing procedure in the House up to the end of the first session of the 36th Parliament in Sept. 1999. The material is presented with full commentary on the historical circumstances which have shaped the current approach to parliamentary business. Key Speaker's rulings and statements are also documented and the considerable body of practice, interpretation, and precedents unique to the Canadian House of Commons is amply illustrated. Chapters of the book cover the following: parliamentary institutions; parliaments and ministries; privileges and immunities; the House and its Members; parliamentary procedure; the physical & administrative setting; the Speaker & other presiding officers; the parliamentary cycle; sittings of the House; the daily program; oral & written questions; the process of debate; rules of order & decorum; the curtailment of debate; special debates; the legislative process; delegated legislation; financial procedures; committees of the whole House; committees; private Members' business; public petitions; private bills practice; and the parliamentary record.

The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics. Federal, state and local courts in all jurisdictions look to the Rules for guidance in solving lawyer malpractice cases, disciplinary actions, disqualification issues, sanctions questions and much more. In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.
The passage of Citizens United by the Supreme Court in 2010 sparked a renewed debate about campaign spending by large political action committees, or Super PACs. Its ruling said that it is okay for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they want in advertising and other methods to convince people to vote for or against a candidate. This book provides a wide range of opinions on the issue. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.
HMRC paid £30 billion in tax credits in 2011-12, providing support to nearly six million individuals and families. Yet in 2010-11 one in five awards contained error or fraud which resulted in claimants receiving more money than they were entitled to. £2.3 billion was lost to error and fraud in 2010-11, £850 million higher than expected. HMRC's target was to save £8 billion from reducing tax credits error and fraud by 2015, but it will miss this target by £5 billion. HMRC needs a more realistic target for the amount of savings it should achieve from reducing error and fraud. The support provided to claimants, in writing and through its helpline, also needs to be improved. This will help ensure claimants receive the correct amount and avoid overpayments. In 2011-12, HMRC wrote off £1.7 billion of tax credits debt. HMRC must work more closely with organisations that represent claimants to get a better understanding of where claimants need help so it can make improvements to the support it provides. Greater checking of awards led to an increase in appeals against decisions to reduce or terminate the amount of tax credit paid. But insufficient resources to deal with the appeals resulted in delays and caused unnecessary distress and hardship to claimants. Better use of data to identify patterns and trends in claimant behaviouris crucial. HMRC also needs to improve its understanding of why claimants do not always report changes to their circumstances as this is when the majority of error happens.
