Co-passengers were angry at the man's behavior that led to the 17-hour non-stop flight's delay. The man, who was removed from the plane by Australian Federal Police after its return to Perth, was described by a fellow passenger's behavior as "a cornered animal."One passenger told Perth Now the man started behaving erratically after he returned to his seat from the toilet.

Hyper Constitutionalism- The Journey from TMA Pai to NEET case
Judicial dissent is rare in these collegium days. The master of the roster, the Chief Justice, enjoys the privilege to constitute the Bench and majority and minority views, are often decided at the time of selection of judges for the bench constitution. After all it is a number game world over, and not free from its vices.Judicial discipline commands obedience to the majority view Stricto Sensu. Inside the court, minority judgment is often assigned literary value, contrary to perception I would see sometime in the future, the minority view of Justice Dave in NEET case transforming into a majority. We learn from history, Justice Khanna who was reduced to minority in ADM Jabalpur case (Habeas Corpus Case) later emerged as the only jurist with a backbone. Justice Khanna could have interpreted the Constitution for the establishment, like other judges did, he chose to read it for the democrats, even at the cost of the chair of Chief Justice of India. I never bothered to … [Read more...] about Hyper Constitutionalism- The Journey from TMA Pai to NEET case

NLRB Uses Hyper-Technical Rule to Overturn Employer’s Landslide Election Victory
The ambush election rules implemented by the National Labor Relations Board (“Board”) last year tilted the scales of union elections in labor’s favor by expediting the election process and eliminating many of the steps employers have relied upon to protect their rights and those of employees who may not want a union. We warned that in addition to rapidly expediting election timeframe, the regulations were full of technical and burdensome procedural mandates on employers. The Board further emphasized the pro-union impact of these requirements in a Decision last week when it overturned the results of an election that a union overwhelming lost based on a hyper-technicality. Even though there was no prejudice to the union, the Board gave the union another bite at the apple despite the employees’ resounding rejection of union representation; effectively denying the employees their voice and imposing even more burdens on the employer. New … [Read more...] about NLRB Uses Hyper-Technical Rule to Overturn Employer’s Landslide Election Victory
