In May 2017, the Office of the Ombudsman found that the factory canteens were illegal hospitality to the public and breach of the lease. The situation is very common. The Office of the Ombudsman considers that the Government has not fully reviewed the factory canteen license policy. The system has loopholes and has not been clogged. The factory canteens are breach to sell the food for the public. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department and the Lands Department do not have strict scrutiny when approving applications. The Office of the Ombudsman recommends that the Lands Department and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department establish an effective mechanism for regulating the co-ordination and mutual referral of factory canteens and …show more content…
Therefore, the governance audit cannot fully audit all government policies, cannot give a timely improvement of the program before the problem. In September 2017, the Office of the Ombudsman has criticized the Lands Department for being released and has not dealt with a contravention of a new village estate in the New Territories, resulting in a violation of more than 20 years. The Office of the Ombudsman does not exclude the case from the tip of the iceberg and urges the Lands Department to set a target time for handling the case. The Office of the Ombudsman has received a complaint that the height of a village house in the New Territories exceeds the limit of more than 1.8 meters and illegally builds a porch and a wall, occupying about 310 square meters of land, of which one is a government land. The Office of the Ombudsman has found that the Lands Department has been aware of the irregularities in 1995 and the "waiver" of the village house was abolished in 2004. After 10 years, the resumption of operations was carried out. Nine times
...o the purchaser of unregistered land should the disposition be ultra vires, assuming that there is no actual notice of such then overreaching can take place. This has now evolved into their being no requirement for absence of notice. In addition Section 70 (1) (g) of the LRA 1925 protected as an overriding interest the property rights of those in actual occupation of the land as described by Lord Denning MR:
no-one will bother you on your land” (pg.105). This incident leads to a long chain of corrupt acts. All community members signed, rather, finger printed the document and we’re assured “they could rely on this paper as it is the title to the land”. 105). The 'Standard' is a 'Standard'.
Law reform in the area of Native title has led to the recognition of indigenous land right which has Native title
Perhaps the biggest failure in the reservation system affecting current times is in the status of laws and jurisdiction. Communal land ownership and federal trust restrictions on land ownership and use inhibit economic development and many land allotments are owned collectively by groups of individuals. Multiple ownership makes it difficult to manage the lands and it reduces benefits to individuals. It is also nearly impossible to use the land as collateral for obtaining loans because of federal protection from encumbrances on trust
All premises dealing with food registered with the council are inspected on a priority basis according to risk. New premises should register with the council so that an initial visit can be set up and carried out, this will allow them to give advice about complying with the rules set out by the Food Safety Act. All individual working with food and dealing with food should undergo food hygiene training to ensure that they are complying with the Food Safety Act.

Apparently McLaughlin did not think so and felt that by the action of Mr. Heikklia by changing the cost of parcels mean that they were without a “meeting of the minds.” There was no deal since the land transaction was not in writing. Then Mr. McLaughlin sued Mr. Heikklia on the grounds “to compel specific performance of the purchase agreements under the terms of the agreements before Heikkila withdrew his offer” (Cheeseman, 2013).
Another type of problem with land use conflict centers on the local groups opposed to the project. These people, or NIMBYs, are generally underfunded, highly stressed, inexperienced in negotiation, and lacking political power. They want to participate meaningfully in the decision-making process about their LULU, but many find it difficult to obtain anything but an adversarial position in the process. Power, status, and wealth are the key attributes to gaining attention and consideration from the broader community. Unfortunately, most public NIMBYs are minorities, live in rural areas, live in the South, or have middle- to lower-class incomes (Morris, 1994). In their defense, though, NIMBYs can make harmful land uses difficult to site by creating gridlock on current standard operating procedures.
Under what conditions might the parties to the alliance discussed in this case dissolve or end the relationship?
OPPORTUNITIES: McDonalds has many opportunities to change its look, menu, and customer service. McDonald’s started building newer building incorporating the arch, along with more modern furnishings. The menu has changed by adding more breakfast items and introducing the McCafe in certain areas.
McDonald's Corporation is the largest fast-food operator in the World and was originally formed in 1955 after Ray Kroc pitched the idea of opening up several restaurants based on the original owned by Dick and Mac McDonald. McDonald's went public in 1965 and introduced its flagship product, the Big Mac, in 1968. Today, McDonald's operates more than 30,000 restaurants in over 100 countries and have one of the world's most widely known brand names. McDonald's sales hit $57 billion company-wide and over $25 billion in the United States in 2006 (S&P).
When it comes to academic scholars and practitioners who have an interest in land use planning in Ontario, many have made strong statements about the OMB. Many question the usefulness of the OMB as a body to adjudicate municipal land-use planning appeals. Chipman (2002) argues that the board is used to favor the opinions of provincially appointed members over those of elected municipal council. He points out that the cases presented at the OMB fall within the abilities of the regulatory process of the municipal council; however, cases are further appealed at the level of the OMB due to their overpowering decision-making ability. Like Chipman, the final-decision powers of the OMB over planning issues is also underlined by Moore (2009) and J.B
... cellular tower providers have clearly stated arguments with supportive reports of FCC, WHO and American Cancer Society. Additionally, addressing the concern of the people regarding the spoilage of a great view and the tower obstructing it, the cellular providers can have plans of hiding tower that can be placed by changing its geometric structure in plain sight. And with this adjustment that is with the hidden view of the tower there will not arise any questions regarding decline in the property value. Now, the arguments on construction noise and traffic cannot be considered as justified points since they are temporary till the tower is totally set up since once it is set up there it will be of much beneficial to the village home owners itself. And even if the home owners do not agree, under the law of Eminent Domain cellular tower providers can install the tower.
On the one hand, participatory approach to land use planning can provide openings for the decentralized administration of land management and enhance legal protection of local land rights through contributing to formal recognition of existing land tenure systems. According to Chigbu et al, (2015) four functions of land use planning that directly links to tenure security. (1) Its capacity to identify or determine land areas, parcels and uses and users. (2) Its propensity to enable documentation of land areas, parcels, rights, restrictions and responsibilities. (3) The opportunities it provides for stakeholder involvement, compensation of claims and community participation. (4) Its impact on land value, land markets and credit opportunities. On the other hand, land use planning, promoting sustainable natural resource use and environmental management are generally part of the mandate of local governments. And these prerogatives often tend to be weakly developed, both legally and with respect to capacity building and methodology (Hilhorst 2010). Unclear property rights and tenure insecurity are the major constraints to the potential of successful land use planning. According to UN-Habitat (2008, p. 17), poor land use planning associated with insecurity of tenure and incompletely specified land rights leads to problems of air and water-borne pollution from agricultural and industrial land use. Though there is a
Having set the aims, objectives and research questions in the first chapter, this chapter zooms in to review literature available on the subject of land tenure regularization and its effect on housing investment from different parts of the world with specific reference to cities. The emphasis of this chapter is to analyse the link between land tenure regularization and housing investment in informal settlements. Also, the focus is on securing land rights in informal settlements, since it is widely believed that regularization of informal settlement rights leads to (increased) access to formal finance which subsequently encourages housing investment (Chome and McCall, 2005). The chapter starts with contextual definition of key terms, and then followed by global documentation on the impact of tenure regularization in informal settlement, focusing on the experiences of some selected countries. Since the aim of the research is to investigate the effect of land tenure regularization on informal housing investment and that both the Zambian Local Authorities and the government have intention to regularize informal settlements, lessons learnt from the case study countries will be noted, after which the chapter will be concluded in section 2.6 by way of a summary.
