Behavior of a thief
The bank hopes to earn the hefty fees from customers who did not notice the charges and did not protest. This is a behavior similar to a thief. It is now quite common for respectable institutions to engage in this type of dubious behavior in the pursuit of greed and profit. Integrity, honesty and ethics have gone through the door!
I wish to send this message to our business corporations to be true to their statement on corporate social responsibility and to act honorably and make an honest profit, not by adopting behavior that is similar to theft.
I also ask our regulators and legislators to step forward and do their duty in upholding integrity and honest behavior in our society. Do not pretend that these bad behaviors can be left to be sorted out by the market. Even the USA, that has promoted the concept of the free market, has now decided that legislation is necessary to control the bad behavior.

Road Traffic Offences | BusinessAndLegal.ie
Before taking a look at the most common road traffic offences lets take a look at driver disqualifications which is an area of concern and worry to many drivers who are brought before the Courts on road traffic summonses or charge sheets dealing with road traffic offences.
Driver disqualifications
There are three types of driver disqualifications:
1. Ancillary disqualification
This is the disqualification from driving which is within the discretion of a Judge under the Road Traffic Act 1961. This disqualification can be imposed for any offence under the Road Traffic Acts.
2. Special disqualification
A special disqualification can be imposed where the Gardai or a licencing authority applies to court on the grounds that you are an unfit person to drive a motor vehicle because of incompetence, disability or other grounds.
3. Consequential disqualification

Inequalities in Singapore
I am becoming concerned about the issues of inequality in Singapore (e.g. widening income gap, bad vs good parenting, greater sense of selfishness amongst Singaporeans, etc.).
The many issues of inequality are due to our pursuit of economic growth and treading the lines of political correctness. In this respect, we are acting with an Asian value of 'we' as opposed to
How can we possibly achieve a sense of belonging and maintain our nationhood when the working class man feels under siege by society and government? Are we wasting our money on National Education in schools when the roots of our nationhood are rotting away as we pursue political correctness and try to get into the upper strata of society, always overworking, always stressed.
I hope you and your readers can comment on this.

Sentencing In the Criminal Courts In Ireland | BusinessAndLegal.ie
Previous convictions for the same type of offence will result in a harsher penalty than if the offence before the court was the first time.
Many Judges will also adjourn sentencing until the Court has been provided with any relevant reports about the offender such as probation reports, medical and psychiatric reports etc.
Where the crime has involved violence and/or sexual violence the Criminal Justice act 1993 makes provision for a victim impact report which can be taken into account before arriving at a suitable sentence.
