Contractual Estoppel (eBook, PDF)

The second edition of this book continues to offer the first and only comprehensive account of contractual estoppel, now made fully up to date with reference to the most recent cases. Contractual estoppel, a new and exciting development in the common law, is ever more widely employed and keeps showing itself of considerable practical utility. The book examines numerous judicial decisions which apply or discuss contractual estoppel, and offers a full and systematic exploration of its origin, principled basis, practical applications and limits. The doctrine continues to develop and the second edition tracks, catalogues, discusses and explains its multifarious applications, limits and niceties. In this title, the author, Alexander Trukhtanov, maintains the principal doctrinal claim of the first edition that contractual estoppel is a not misnomer, anomaly or distortion of reliance-based categories of estoppel, but its own category of legal estoppel. The book is a single point of reference for a systematic and organised exposition of the subject and an explanation of how it fits into existing law. It is practice-oriented but engages with important conceptual points. Contractual Estoppel will be of interest to practitioners, whether draftsmen, litigators or advocates, as well as academics and post-graduate students of contract law.

Detached from the usual niceties in life after the tragic death of his wife, he’s fallen into a calloused existence of unforgiveness when it comes to putting the criminals behind bars. Living without reward, his days are monotonous, and the only reason to end a day is so that the next one can pass without notice.

Having become an FBI agent to solve the murder of her newlywed husband, Peyton Morgan is rising in the ranks of her profession. Assigned to a serial killer she must follow the trail of victims and must find a way to work with the hot-headed detective from New York, the latest victim’s brother. As the investigation develops, so does a reluctant understanding that neither one will back down. The priority: solve the complicated serial murders with a devolving suspect.

An American heiress, Eleanor married into the British aristocracy, giving up the grandeur of her upbringing for "good works" freely bestowed on everyone but her own son, who finds himself questioning whether his transition to a life without parents will indeed be the liberation he had so long imagined. The service ends, and family and friends gather for a final party. Amid the social niceties and social horrors, Patrick begins to sense the prospect of release from the extremes of his childhood, and at the end of the day, alone in his room, the promise some form of safety. ungekürzt.

The Girl Who Stopped Swimming , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min

Laurel Gray Hawthorne needs to make things pretty, whether she's helping her mother make sure the literal family skeleton stays in the closet or turning scraps of fabric into nationally acclaimed art quilts. Her estranged sister, Thalia, an impoverished Actress with a capital A, is her polar opposite, priding herself on exposing the lurid truth lurking behind middle class niceties. While Laurel's life seems neatly on track - a passionate marriage, a treasured daughter, and a lovely home in suburban Victorianna - everything she holds dear is suddenly thrown into question the night she is visited by the ghost of a her 13-year old neighbor, Molly Dufresne. The ghost leads Laurel to the real Molly, floating lifelessly in the Hawthorne's backyard pool. Molly's death is inexplicable - an unseemly mystery Laurel knows no one in her whitewashed neighborhood is up to solving. Only her wayward, unpredictable sister is right for the task, but calling in a favor from Thalia is like walking straight into a frying pan protected only by Crisco. Enlisting Thalia's help, Laurel sets out on a life-altering journey that triggers startling revelations about her family's guarded past, the true state of her marriage, and the girl who stopped swimming. Richer and more rewarding than any story Joshilyn Jackson has yet written, yet still packed with Jackson's trademarked outrageous characters, sparkling dialogue, and defiantly twisting plotting, The Girl Who Stopped Swimming is destined both to delight Jackson's loyal fans and capture a whole new audience. ungekürzt.

Don’t you unleash your anger on me, or there will be consequences. I am your master. You are not allowed to talk back to me or to challenge my authority. I am the ruler of this world that I created; you asked me to create this world for you. I listened when you requested me to build a fantasy world for us to exist in. Why are you being so ungrateful now?I love to use my anger to make people do whatever it is that I want them to do. I know that by asking for things, I am usually denied. I am not fond of social niceties, chit chat, or trying to compromise with anyone. I only get what I want when I stomp on other people, stomp around, or smash objects. I only get what I want when I threaten and intimidate others. I only get what I want by behaving like a bully and making people give me what I want.My temper is my greatest asset. I can make people behave around me by showing my temper. I can make people respect me by slamming my fist down and spewing a few ill choice words. I can command all of the empaths in the world bow at my feet because they are scared, threatened, and intimidated by my display of power.Download now to hear more!Check out our IMNarcEvil series by I.M.

Her doting parents want her to make a good match with a worthy gentleman and live a respectable life. She is beautiful and intelligent and she comes with a hefty dowry. There is no reason that she shouldn't be able to find an eligible man and settle down. Tessa gets married to Dean and they struggle to find common ground and make their marriage work.

Seth refuses at first, but then figures that since he can't do much else, he might as well try to help. Westward Bound Claire O'Connor is the youngest of the three O'Connor sisters. Unlike her older siblings, Claire doesn't have great skills in social niceties. Even though she tries to fit in, Claire will never be popular in the elite world in which she was born.

Pope Leo XIII , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min

God’s Diplomat We, as a people of God, are so blessed. Our dear God knows what we need, when we need it, and who can do the job. He knows when we are in crisis, or about to be attacked fiercely, and then he gives us the right person to handle the situation. Pope Pius IX was beloved by all Christendom, and he was truly a Saint. That has been proven true by his being raised to the level of Blessed in the Process for Canonization by another Saintly Pope, John Paul II. But that is not to say he was loved by the whole world, especially not by the political powers of the world. There are even those who did not appear grief-stricken when he passed to his heavenly reward. Remember, he was the Pope who had the Papal States taken away from him, and exiled himself in the Vatican for the rest of his life. Until the end of his life, he did battle with Italy, Germany, France, and all those countries that were bound and determined to take away all Papal power in Europe. So the Lord had his work cut out for him to find a man who would not only carry on the legacy left by Pope Pius IX, but could also calm the political storm which was left behind in the wake of the Pope’s battle to maintain the Patrimony of Peter, also known as the Papal States. Realizing he was not able to handle all of the niceties of his office, due to the tensions he was constantly under, Pius IX had handed over most of the diplomatic chores of his Papacy to Cardinal Atonelli, but he died in 1877, and Pope Pius IX died the following winter. It is fair to say that the Vatican was in a diplomatic shambles after the death of Pope Pius IX. So who was the Lord going to choose to put in the hot seat of the Papacy? He chose a very strong, but very peace-loving Cardinal from Perugia, Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, to be known for all time as Pope Leo XIII, God’s diplomat. ungekürzt. Language: English.
