The special equity applicable to a case where a wife gives a guarantee of a debt for the benefit of her husband and where the wife's agreement to give the guarantee was obtained by undue influence, pressure or misrepresentation on the part of the husband or without an adequate understanding of the nature and effect of the transaction, she has failed to establish that she executed the relevant guarantee as a result of the exercise of actual undue influence on the part of the husband. In my opinion, in today’s society married women do not strive the need for the rule of special protection found in Yerkey. In addition banks have no obligation to take caution into transactions where a married women is to become a surety for her husband even though it may be a possible disadvantage to her.
During the fifteenth to nineteenth century, there were several leaders from different countries, who abused their powers as absolute monarchs. The misuse of their powers led to downfall of their country. An example of an absolute monarch who abused their powers is Louis XIV. He is a very important figure in history because he would make decisions and everyone would be under his power and control. For example, he controlled all the taxations, military power and justice. Furthermore, he did not set a list of defined rules. What this meant was that whatever he wanted to do at the time became the law and he could change it anytime. Louis built the Palace of Versailles which demonstrated the wealth and power of the monarch. The expenses for building the palace ended up with peasants unable to pay the increased tax. The country was enraged, countless suffered from poverty and famine. The proposition of a revolution was spread and Louis divine rights were being stripped away. The inevitable failure of absolute monarchy led to the uprising of the Reign of Terror and Napoleon Bonaparte. After the beheading of the King and Queen, France ...

In reaching this conclusion the court drew upon the statement of Glanville Williams that “the right to contribution among co-debtors is independent of any present rights of the principle creditor.” Further, Wolmershausen v Gullick was applied as authority for the proposition that the right to contribution exists between co-sureties despite the fact that enforcement by the creditor may be barred against one debtor. Therefore, because the covenant did not extinguish Ms Lavin’s liability under the guarantee, it followed that the parties continued to share co-ordinate liabilities so as to entitle Ms Toppi to recover contribution from Ms
Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof deals with various motifs and themes such as cats, masculinity, the crutch, alcohol, children, death, etc. It could easily be argued quotations including the phrase “a cat on a hot tin roof” represent the entirety of the play due to Williams’ repetitious use of the line, as well as of its use in the title. However, the plot of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof deals with tragedy being caused from miscommunication and lies, despite the exaggeration of cat-like women and the numerous mentions of cats. The quotation, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that was true?” unveils the sad disposition of the characters as they attempt to cover up the painful truth despite knowing “painful things caint always be avoided” (Williams,

The Protestant Reformation was an event in history that forever changed the Catholic Church. The occurrence of the Protestant Reformation happened nearly five hundred years ago, and is still felt by the Church today. The influence of certain men such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli, in breaking away from the Catholic Church, transformed it into a better, stronger community. Before the sixteenth century, the Catholic Church had lost its way since the time of Jesus Christ. Sacrilegious priests, money-sucking bishops, nepotism, pluralism, and the practice of indulgences are just a few of the many abuses of the Church at that time. Martin Luther attempted to solve these abuses by posting ninty-five theses that listed all of the abuses that he saw in the Church. This one document sparked a wave of people attacking the Catholic Church. The Protestant Reformation ended with the start of many new religions. One of the most significant of these new religions was Calvinism, which was started by a very influential man named John Clavin. Through his beliefs, his writings, and his introduction of a

The issues with the church started much earlier in the Northern Renaissance when the church started moving away from its traditional form. Humanists in the Northern Renaissance heavily relied on ethics and morality so once they saw the Catholic Church and its corruption, they had to criticize it. However it wasn’t in any intension for the Humanists to cause a revolution or split of the Catholic faith but as history shows, that’s what happen. You could easily say that the Northern Renaissance was a stepping stone for the Protestant Reformation. Once the word got out to enough people about reforming the religion, no one would resist except for the ones fighting for the Catholics. Without the spread of Humanism, you could argue the fact that the Reformation would never have occurred. I believe this. The main idea and reason behind ethics and morality it to take down corrupt bodies. The Catholic Church was a ticking time bomb when the humanist came

The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century was a religious revolution that occurred within the Christian Church, which resulted in the establishment of Protestant Churches, who began breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church. Originally the movement was started by Martin Luther, who was a monk, a priest and a Professor of Biblical study at the University of Wittenberg (Fisher 335). Luther, with his great political influence as well as his prolific writing, most notably his 95 Thesis, began a movement intended to address the abuses of wealth within the church. Although there were many people who realized that the church needed reformation, at the time, Luther really had no intention to split the church. The Protestant Reformation was an intellectual, cultural, religious, and political, upheaval that would separate Catholic Europe and set in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent. In Christianity’s history, the Protestant Reformation was one of the most significant religious revolutions.
