Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia needs the Private International Law (UU HPI) considering that business contracts between Indonesian citizens and foreigners have been increasing due to globalization, Supreme Court Judge Haswandi has said.
“We, as practitioners, expect the existence of the HPI Law to face the current globalization,” he said here on Monday.
According to him, the RUU HPI, or the HPI draft law, which contains 69 articles, will greatly support judges and the judiciary in resolving disputes related to foreign law.
The Private International Law would be relevant for resolving several cases related to foreign trade and business contracts, he…
Donald Trump’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen plans to call one of the former president’s sons as a witness in an upcoming trial over whether Trump’s company owes up to $1.3 million in legal fees to Cohen, his attorneys said Friday.
Cohen, who originally sued the Trump Organization in March 2019, wants the Trump Organization to pay his fees stemming from Cohen’s defense of Trump and himself during investigations in 2017 and 2018, and during roughly 20 meetings with the Manhattan district attorney and a grand jury before Trump was indicted in March.
An attorney for Cohen said in court Friday that…
LONDON (AP) — A committee of British lawmakers said Sunday that the UK will break its international human rights commitments if it goes through with government plans to detain and deport people who cross the English Channel in small boats.
Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights said the Illegal Migration Bill “breaches a number of the UK’s international human rights obligations and risks breaching others.”
Scottish National Party lawmaker Joanna Cherry, who chairs the committee, said the law would leave most refugees and victims of modern slavery with no way of seeking asylum in Britain.
“By treating victims of modern…
A new rail shipping rule is poised to drive up inefficiency and consumer costs.
Or it will drive them straight down. It depends who you ask.
Set to come into effect with Ottawa’s federal budget bill, an obscure law has Canada’s two main railways fighting back over concerns about expenses and congestion, with the drama playing out in social media posts and a backroom lobbying push.
At the center of the tempest in a train yard is legislation that aims to expand what’s known as extended interswitching, a seldom-heard term that describes a critical practice in the rail industry.
Interswitching…
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is facing a court application aimed at forcing him to determine whether Canada’s war crimes laws prevent former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett from attending a speaking engagement in Toronto later this month.
The application — known by its technical term of a mandamus — was filed Friday in Federal Court and asked a judge to compel Mendicino into making a decision on Bennett’s admissibility.
It was filed by Khaled Mouammar, a former national president of the Canadian Arab Federation, human rights groups Palestinian and Jewish Unity and Just Peace Advocates, and the think-tank Canadian…
Washington, D.C. – It is not often that Republicans and Democrats in the United States find common ground, but this week, officials from both major parties pursued a shared cause – bashing a New York law school graduate for a speech criticizing Israel.
Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres called The City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law graduates “crazed”; former Republican candidate for governor Lee Zeldin described the speech as “raging anti-Semitism”; Major Eric Adams characterized it as “words of negativity and division”.
Even Republican Senator Ted Cruz, of Texas, joined the pile-on of condemnations against the Yemeni-American graduate…
More than a dozen parents and students alleging sexual violence at some Quebec high schools came together Friday to call for a law to prevent and fight the issue in secondary schools.
At a news conference Friday in Montreal, several young women and parents — some holding signs reading “No means no” and “#sexualassault awareness” — took turns speaking about their experiences, denouncing the way their school administration and boards handled allegations of sexual assault.
They, along with several politicians present, implored Education Minister Bernard Drainville to do more to clamp down on the problem.
“It’s been a while that…

The decision in California came at about the same time that Trump became the only ex-president to be charged with a crime. Trump pleaded not guilty in a New York City courtroom to a 34-count felony indictment accusing him of falsifying business records in a scheme to hush up allegations of extramarital affairs with Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal that broke during his first White House…
