Today`s #LEGAL term is: #Discovery Have you heard this term on a TV show? t.co/oklfYHj5th . #lawyer#TheMoreYouKnowpic.twitter.com/9S5RpcHrca The definition of « discovery » in law is the exchange of legal information and facts known to a case. Think of discovery as obtaining and disclosing the evidence and position of each party to a case so that all parties involved can decide what their best options are – going to court or negotiating an early resolution. RESPONSE: When a complaint is submitted to a defendant in litigation, the « response » is the written response that relates to each allegation and admits or denies the errors. Parties to a case must participate in the investigation process, which means that they must hand over information and evidence about a claim so that all parties involved can know what awaits them in the trial. WRITTEN DISCOVERY Under the umbrella of « written discovery, » we find, « We are in discovery right now, I hope we get what we need with this statement. » RPBA – CPPR – CPSR – CVPP – RPCX – RPDA – DPRD – RPDE – LDPR – PDP Translation: The investigative process is ongoing and we try to get all the evidence we need when we sit in person and question the defendant under oath. For these reasons, it is very rare during a trial for a lawyer to present surprising evidence, as many television characters seem to do with regularity. There is no answer to this question like « MISCELLANEOUS, SPORTS, GOVERNMENT » all categories for anything that does not fit into another category. It can represent anything from « leftover » items to hard-to-classify items.

Testing can be time-consuming, wasteful of energy and money. Discovery encourages the parties to choose a settlement and end the dispute before trial or before the end of the process. Like showing your cards to your opponent in a poker game, discovery reveals the strengths and weaknesses of each game`s hands. Now that they know the evidence, either party can continue the process or fold their hands depending on what has been revealed. DISCOVERABLE: This is potential evidence – notes, diaries, photos, videos, etc. – these « findable » elements must be made available to the opposing parties in the dispute. « They have to pass this log during the discovery if they emit RPD. » A testimony is an opportunity for a lawyer to ask for whatever is necessary to gather, clarify and « discover » evidence and facts. Knowing the facts, the parties can then decide what to do with the claim.

Two days ago, the Tabasco State Congress also approved reforms for equal marriage, and it was only on October 11 last year that the State of Mexico became the 29th authority to approve equal marriages. The vote came just a day after the Guerrero state legislature approved equal marriage by a large majority, making Tamaulipas the last government in all of Mexico where homosexuals could not legally marry. On 3 November 2020, the Local Congress of Puebla approved by majority approval of amendments to the State Civil Code. The local legislative chamber intervened three years after the Supreme Court forced the opening of the padlocks of the Civil Code of Puebla that hindered equal marriage. The first same-sex marriage in Tabasco`s history was that of two boys in February 2015. In an official office of the civil registry office of Villahermosa, their marriage proposal was rejected, so they took their case to the SCJN, which ruled in their favor and forced the municipal authorities to marry him. In May 2019, the Congress of the State of Hidalgo officially recognized the right of same-sex couples to marry. The provision came into force a month later and it was two women from Puebla who sealed the first equal marriage without needing protection in Tulancingo. This legislative harmonization was in line with the Supreme Court`s ruling in 2016 that several articles of Hidalgo`s family law were unconstitutional, albeit with a delay of nearly three years. The first gay wedding ceremony in Tlaxcala took place in early 2016 between two women.

More than four years passed before the local congress approved reforms to the Civil Code in December 2020 (and by a large majority of 16 votes in favor and three against), which allow equal marriage without going through the courts. Since the beginning of 2019, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Mexican same-sex couples residing abroad who wish to marry under Mexican law can do so at one of its consulates. The measure was a response to the SCJN`s decision in favor of two Mexicans residing in New York and against the Mexican consulate in that American city, which had rejected their marriage proposal. Currently, same-sex marriage is legal and can be celebrated directly (excluding Amparo) in 28 of the 32 states, not to mention some municipalities in the state of Guerrero: On 6. In May 2016, the National Human Rights Commission filed a complaint of unconstitutionality 32/2016[40] against the State of Chiapas, challenging the constitutionality of Articles 144 and 145 of the Civil Code. The Chiapas Congress recently amended a family law in the state, but did not repeal the words male and female on marriage, but retained them. The commission took the opportunity to file an unconstitutional action to legalize same-sex marriage in Chiapas and become the second state to do so, following the example of Jalisco, where the Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage in a unanimous decision in early 2016. The Sinaloa State Congress has debated equal marriage in previous legislatures, even with a SCJN court order, but without effect, although in the current local Congress legislature an initiative has been presented by the Morena party to allow marriage, equal marriage should be approved in the current legislature. [59] The most recent authority on advocating marriage equality was Jalisco.

By 26 votes in favour, 8 against and three abstentions, the State Congress approved equal marriage and amended articles 258, 260 and 267 bis of the Civil Code. After finding the love of your life, what could be more frustrating than overcoming the obstacles to get married? In Mexico, marriage equality is a reality in 26 states and some isolated communities. Find out if yours is one of them. The state government will adhere to the Amparo that orders two women to marry in León, said Government Secretary Antonio Salvador García López.

However, state regulations do not mention a maximum temperature, as there are extremely hot workplaces such as foundries and glassworks. Work in such environments can « continue if necessary precautions are taken, » according to the guide. Some jobs may require you to work in a cold environment, such as a walk-in freezer or cold room. Whenever possible, food refrigeration should be separated from areas where employees work, but this is not always possible – in these cases, your employer should ensure that the impact on workers is mitigated as much as possible. Despite the absence of absolute limits, employers are required to provide an adequate working temperature. And one of the biggest questions that arises when the temperature drops is, « When is it too cold to be at work? » The approved code of conduct suggests that the minimum temperature in a workplace should normally be at least 16 degrees Celsius. If the work is associated with intense physical exertion, the temperature should be at least 13 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are not absolute legal requirements; The employer is responsible for determining what reasonable comfort is required in the particular circumstances. Indoor temperatures in the workplace are covered by the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, which require employers to provide an « adequate » temperature in the workplace. The HSE-approved code of practice suggests the minimum temperature, but there is no penalty if you don`t follow these guidelines. Ensuring the health and safety of your employees is an important part of your responsibilities as an employer, including taking steps to ensure a workplace that is neither too hot nor too cold.

These are not legal requirements, but if you stick to them, you`ll make sure your employees feel comfortable and productive. I spilled hot tea on my hands, but I felt good because it`s so cold In this article, we`ll cover the recommended working temperatures for indoor and outdoor work, what the law says, and the health risks of heat and cold for your employees. For this reason, there is no maximum working temperature in the UK. The HSE-approved Code of Practice also does not recommend a higher limit. Workplace temperature falls under the Health and Safety Act, and while there is no legal minimum temperature for a workplace, employers are required to maintain the « reasonable » level of heat. In general, guidelines suggest that this should be around 16°C or 13°C if the work requires manual labor. Employers are required to maintain the temperature level appropriately. But what is the legal minimum working temperature in the UK? Your employer should have completed a risk assessment that addresses issues such as keeping the workplace at an appropriate temperature to ensure there is no risk to the health and safety of employees.

Tap with gloves. Yes I can. #amworking. pic.twitter.com/F2f8AwSpDD Workplace temperature is one of the potential hazards employers face in order to comply with their legal obligations. Employers should consult with workers or their representatives to find effective ways to deal with high temperatures. It`s important that you consider the temperature of your work environment and take steps to protect your team. If you work outdoors, your employer obviously has little control over the temperature of your workspace, but they are still obligated to take steps to reduce the impact of work that keeps you outside for a long time. Management must also ensure that appropriate breaks and rest periods are provided in workplaces with more extreme temperatures. As long as you respect a safe working temperature, it`s up to you to adjust the thermostat. But keep in mind that your employees may have different preferences and you should try to accommodate them. The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has been pushing for the introduction of a maximum working temperature in the UK since 2009. They draw up a plan that employers must act as soon as the temperature reaches 24°C and leave work if it exceeds 30°C.

But if you can`t solve your office temperature problems satisfactorily and you still feel the cold all the time, there are things you can do. Like hitting with gloves: Even if an employer has provided a temperature that most consider an acceptable temperature in the workplace, thermal comfort is very subjective. This is because a person reacts to heat can depend on personal factors such as age, weight, fitness, and clothing, as well as environmental factors, including heat source and humidity level. If many workers raise temperature concerns with their employer, they should consider whether the current approach of keeping the workplace warm is appropriate as part of their « duty of care ». So if everyone seems to have a problem with the cold, you should complain to your employer. Not just each other. Working conditions and temperature influence the measures to be taken. Whether it`s hot or cold, you need to make sure your employees understand the health risks. You need to conduct a thorough risk assessment of your workplace, and it`s important that you consider the temperature at all times of the year.

If you don`t do this and offer solutions for extreme cold or heat, it could be a violation of the Health and Safety Act. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved Code of Conduct, employers are advised to maintain a minimum temperature of at least 16°C if the work activity is primarily sedentary, or 13°C if the work requires strict physical exertion. However, these recommended temperatures are not an absolute legal requirement that requires the employer to decide what constitutes reasonable comfort in the context of their workplace. Although there is no legal working temperature, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 state that employers must provide an « appropriate » temperature in the workplace. Employers must comply with occupational health and safety laws. They must provide their employees with a comfortable and legal temperature in the workplace, as well as clean and fresh air. In this guide, we look at minimum and maximum workplace temperature regulations and provide practical advice to employers on how to provide a safe, legal and comfortable working environment. At very high or low working temperatures caused by work, such as hot and cold processes, these temperatures can lead to serious health risks if not managed effectively. In these circumstances, employers should regularly review their work practices related to thermal conditions and, if necessary, carry out additional checks to deal with specific risks such as cold stress, heat stress and dehydration. This may include medical examinations or health monitoring for employees who have special requirements due to pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, illness, disability or medication.

It is the employer`s responsibility to bring the temperature of the office to the mark, but perhaps more importantly, bosses should take care to maintain « thermal comfort ». It`s a mix of environmental and personal factors that contribute to your comfort at work. And it can largely depend on whether you`re the kind of person who wears three sweaters or a t-shirt to work in the winter. There can be no significant upper limit on the temperature scale. This is due to certain environments, such as a melt foundry or plastic injection molding unit. The Occupational Health and Safety Management Regulations, 1999 require employers to conduct an adequate and sufficient assessment of risks to the health and safety of their employees and, where appropriate, to take steps to control those risks. The employer must therefore consider the circumstances in which workplace temperatures may expose workers to a risk of illness or injury at work and whether the employer is doing enough to prevent that risk. Under the 1999 regulation, the employer must: Other factors such as humidity, air velocity and radiation temperature also play a role.

Employees should talk to their employer if the workplace temperature is not comfortable. DavidsonMorris works with employers to support them in all aspects of human resources management.
