The Devil

In the last four years, the number of small self-administered pension schemes has increased from a few dozen to a figure that, if it has not already done so, must shortly pass the 10,000 mark and few major Life Offices, Consulting Actuaries or Pensions Consultants are now without such a weapon in their armoury. Considerable practical experience in the administration of these arrangements has been gained, often somewhat traumatically, over this period by actuaries and other practitioners and, with many schemes having recently had, or just coming up to, their first triennial actuarial report, it seemed a sensible time to consolidate this experience and to highlight some of the more contentious areas for discussion. Certain statements in the paper are based on my understanding of current Inland Revenue practice which is not necessarily consistent either with time or between different examiners. Finally, although the subject matter of the paper applies equally to fully self-administered schemes and to Life Office 'hybrid' schemes, I wish to apologize for any unintentional bias towards the latter that may have crept in. Better the devil you know, I suppose!

<p>The main aim of the article is to present the considerations concerning the issue of introducing mandatory mediation into the Polish legal system within the scope of business lawsuits as well as some other kinds of civil disputes with respect to determining their suitability for mediation and the parties’ concerns regarding the use of mediation. The choice of the subject matter and the aim of these considerations have been mainly inspired by the author’s practical experience of working as a mediator in civil disputes (including business cases) and the relevant statistics concerning mediation proceedings held within the Business Mediation Center (BMC) at the District Chamber of Legal Advisers in Olsztyn. Introducing an obligation to mediate in selected types of disputes into the Polish social-legal system following an appropriate legislative and organizational preparation should, in principle, be considered beneficial as it might lead to popularizing mediation and making the most of its potential and advantages. Furthermore, expanding the citizens’ access to the broadly understood system of justice in its in- and out-of-court formula may result in reducing a backlog of cases in courts of justice and, in consequence, strengthening the idea of diversification in the justice system.</p>

The Impact

Can the National Pension Scheme as a whole now be expected to maintain solvency? On what lines may the Scheme be expected to develop in the future? Should contracting out not have been permitted?The temptation to go into these and other fascinating questions will be resisted as far as possible; it is proposed instead to confine the subject matter of this paper reasonably closely within the area implied in the title. In order to establish the context in which the present situation has arisen, it is appropriate, however, to begin with a very brief survey of the more recent history of national and private pensions in Britain before the passing of the National Insurance Act 1959, which will be referred to henceforward simply as ‘the Act’; the situation before the Act comes into operation will similarly be referred to as ‘pre-Act’. When the Act comes into operation two new situations will arise; ‘Contracted-in’ and ‘Contracted-out’. There are thus three conditions to consider, and as far as possible when using expressions in connexion with contracting out such as saving, extra cost, etc., it will be stated whether these are by comparison with the contracted-in or pre-Act position, lack of clarity on this point having been a source of confusion in some of the literature on the subject.

The Subject

The text book,The Practice of Life Assurance, by Coe and Ogborn, pp. 367–9, and the references there to other literature, give a brief summary of the subject of group life assurance; this paper attempts to bring out in more detail a little of the practice (of some U.K. offices) and some of the special problems that belong to the subject, for the benefit of students who have no practical experience of it. There is no dearth of literature on pension schemes, with which group life contracts are very often linked, so that reference to pension schemes in this paper, though necessary, will be brief.

A topic of interest in teaching businesscourses is incorporating the practical aspect of the subject matter intoteaching as this helps to bridge theory and real-world practice. Research indicates that students gain a deeperunderstanding of material when theory is contextualized through real-lifepractical examples. However, given thetraditional career-path of academics in finance in countries such as SouthAfrica, a significant proportion of finance lecturers have little or norelevant practical experience in the subject matter. In this paper, we discuss a strategyimplemented in finance courses at sophomore and senior levels in order to linktheory and practice. Guest speakers were invited from industry to contextualize the topics for the students. Students perceptions on the benefit they derived from the speakers were deduced from statistical analyses of student evaluations. The results indicate that the experience waspositive and aided in their understanding of the subject.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.
