Rules for the Production and Submission of Coursework

IMPORTANT: The following rules for production and submission of coursework must be followed and will form part of the assessment in respect of demonstrating an ability to follow, apply and comply with instructions. You will lose marks if you do not follow the rules listed below.

1. Producing and Presenting your Coursework: Format

(a)         You must produce your work in accordance with the latest version of the School of Justice Coursework Guidance Booklet (there is a copy on your Blackboard page) – the Guide contains advice on spacing, fonts, justification of text, footnotes, word counts, referencing and citation and bibliographies.

(b)          Your work must not be produced using ‘unfair means’ (collusion, plagiarism and other such forms of cheating) – see ..

(c)         We prefer your work to be word-processed in 12-point font AND double spaced so tutors can read with ease and have sufficient room to insert comments.

(d)        Case names must be in italics.

(e)     All citations to cases, statutes, books and journals must be referenced fully, as must websites used (with the date last accessed specified) using the OSCOLA style reference guide.

(f)         All pages must be numbered.

(g)         You must count the words used (excluding the words used to write the footnotes and bibliography) and this must be declared honestly and accurately on your assignment. Failure to declare the words used will mean your work will not be marked and inaccurate declarations of words used will lead to disciplinary proceedings.

2. Submitting your Coursework

(a)        All written assessments (unless otherwise directed by your module leader) must be produced and submitted electronically through a ‘Turn-it-In’ submission box. The e-submission box will be located on your Module Blackboard space. Your module tutor will inform you where the precise location is.

(b)     You must not write your name anywhere on your assignment because all work is marked anonymously. Instead, please ensure your student ID number is clearly marked on your work.

(c)         You must submit ONE copy of your coursework only: an electronic submission via Blackboard (so we can verify submission, word counts and plagiarism and insert feedback via Grademark).

(e)         We do not accept e-mail, faxed, or postal submissions of coursework.

Briefly explain the changes to the right to non-violent protest under the Government’s Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, Part 3 (Public Order). What are the main criticisms of the Bill, Part 3?

ASSESSMENT

THE SCENARIO

The Order of Hippogriff (‘OH’) is an international environmental movement using non-violent civil disobedience as a means of protest. The Order of Hippogriff Cambridge (‘OHC’) is one of the OH regional groups, which organises civil disobedience actions on climate change across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

According to the OH’s official website, the OH intended to run ‘The Order of Hippogriff April Rebellion’ (‘OHAR’) between Monday 11 April to Saturday 23 April 2022. In response to the unsatisfactory result at the COP26 conference on climate change, the OHAR seeks to cause inconvenience to the general public and put a strain on the police force so that politicians become aware of climate change issues.

On 9 April 2022, a document appeared on OH’s official website headed ‘Everybody Now – on an unprecedented scale’ and noted that protests would take place in 100 areas around the world, including Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. On the early morning of Monday 18 April, the following post appeared on the OHC’s Facebook page:

Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Chief Constable of Cambridgeshire Constabulary (the head of the local police force covering Cambridgeshire and Peterborough), knew from his experience that the OHC protests would cause massive disruption to commuters and local people in Greater Cambridge. He also knew that OHC protesters often move between places quickly, contacting each other by phone.

In order to limit such disruption, at 7pm on 18 April 2022, Chief Constable Shacklebolt issued the following condition (‘the condition’) under section 14(1) of the Public Order Act 1986.

‘Any assembly linked to the Order of Hippogriff “April Rebellion” within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough must disperse and cease their action by 9pm 18^th April 2022’.

This condition was immediately publicised and widely spread via Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s Twitter account. However, it did not completely stop the OHC’s protests by the 9pm I8th April deadline.

Jamie and Jody, both active supporters of OH, were arrested at Trumpington St, Cambridge at 11am on 19 April for breach of ‘the condition’ when they were participating in a mass cycling demonstration as part of the OH action. Jamie and Jody would like to file a claim to have the condition made by Chief Constable Shacklebolt judicially reviewed.

YOUR TASK

Looking at the scenario above, answer the following, drawing on relevant legislation, relevant case law, the ECHR rights engaged and the grounds for judicial review.

1. Which of Jamie and Jody’s rights are engaged here? Explain by referring to the European Convention on Human Rights Articles set out in Schedule 1 Human Rights Act 1998. Set out the scope of the right to and non-violent protest and how it may be balanced with other interests, such as serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community. Illustrate your answer with relevant case law.

2. Was ‘the condition’ set by Chief Constable Shacklebolt the lawful exercise of the power under 14(1) of the Public Order Act 1986? Explain by referring to Jamie and Jody’s right to protest and the legal framework under the Public Order Act 1986. Highlight which judicial review ‘grounds’ Jamie and Jody are likely to be seeking to argue their case under.

3. Briefly explain the changes to the right to non-violent protest under the Government’s Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, Part 3 (Public Order). What are the main criticisms of the Bill, Part 3? Support your answer with relevant critique from the House of Lords and others.

Identify and apply techniques and frameworks to evaluate and analyse new venture marketing problems.

New Venture Marketing ASSESSMENT GUIDE – CASE STUDY ANALYSIS Objective To apply theoretical and practical knowledge to analyse to solve challenges and capture opportunities facing new ventures. The case study analysis will assess students’ ability to analyse a case, compile their thoughts and ideas and communicate them via a written report. The aim of the case study analysis report is to apply theory to provide solutions to the key issues presented in the case. Learning outcomes addressed LO2. Identify and apply techniques and frameworks to evaluate and analyse new venture marketing problems. LO3. Critique and make decisions with respect to new venture marketing challenges. LO4. Communicate effectively new venture marketing solutions both in oral and written contexts. Value: 40 marks in total Submission requirements: 2500 words +/- 10% to uploaded to iLearn. Rationale for assessment: The case analysis provides you with the opportunity to identify and analysis new venture issues within a real-world business context. You will evaluate and assess the case and information presented to you, research and analyse the case, and make informed recommendations to the new venture. The case study: The actual new venture case study that you will analyse will be made available on ILearn in week 2 2 Assessment task: Read the case study, laying out your analysis using the following scaffold: 1. Executive Summary – This should be a brief, yet comprehensive summary of your response. This is not an introduction. 2. New Venture Issues – Identify the key issues facing the new venture. Limit the key issues to a manageable set of no more than 2-3 so you can dig deeper into these as you move into the analysis. 3. Issue Analysis – Analysis requires you examining the issues in detail. Analysis involves: a). using the information that is written in the case and outside research to develop a detailed understanding of the issues. Conducting and integrating outside research may for example require researching the industry, market and competitors. The information you rely upon should be used to help you build a logical argument, develop findings, and draw educated inferences. b). use relevant theories, concepts, frameworks, techniques to analyse the issues. For example, you may have to discuss segmentation, targeting and positioning if you identify an issue for the new venture as understanding how the market is segmented, who they should target and how they should position the brand for strategic competitive advantage. 4. Recommendations to solve the new venture issues identified – here you interpret, evaluate and synthesise the analysis into a set of well justified recommendations to resolve the issues facing the new venture. 5. Critique of the recommendations – here you make an honest assessment of the strengths, limitations, consequences, and implications of those recommendations.

Assessment Instructions/Question

Individual Assessment

The assessment question paper will have TWO compulsory questions. The student will have to answer two compulsory questions, ie the student will have to answer Question One (worth 50% of this assessment) and Question Two (worth the other 50% of this assessment).

The TWO questions are as follows:

Question 1

The UCP 600 introduced some welcomed changes from the previous version, UCP 500. However, it has failed to regulate the problem of fraud in documentary Letter of Credit transactions.

Discuss and critically consider with reference to the common law and the UCP.

Question 2

Foresure Ltd, a British engineering company, agrees to sell precision designed metals to Ikram PLC in Tahriristan, a newly independent state outside of Europe. Tahriristan has a civil law legal regime rather than a common law legal regime. Ikram PLC does not have a place of business in England.

The contract was negotiated and signed in London. The price was payable in US dollars and due on delivery of the goods to Ikram PLC in Tahriristan. The contract provided that any dispute arising out of the performance of the contract should be submitted to the Tahriristan courts at the behest of Ikram PLC.

When the goods were delivered to Ikram PLC, they were alleged to be of inferior quality to those requested by the buyer. Foresure Ltd deny this and claim Ikram PLC are merely attempting to leverage a lower price for the metals. Foresure Ltd has major doubts about allowing the dispute to be heard in the courts in Tahriristan.

Advise Foresure Ltd on its options.

Write a post of at least 150 words that takes a closer look at one of McPhee’s experiences of organizing a story and clearly states how he decided to structure the story.

Description You loved John McPhee’s Essay “Structure” right? (Essay link in the material uploaded) It’s a long essay, and I hope you have read it until the end. John McPhee is a well-regarded American creative nonfiction writer. He’s considered a structure guru. In this essay he explores the topic of structure explicitly. He suggests that, after choosing a subject and collecting research material, and well before starting to write the text, that writers should first focus on structure. A solid structure is integral to a good piece of writing—like good foundations are integral to a house, or a skeleton to a body. Even more so, strong structure can also guide writers through the rest of the writing process. This means that if you can figure out a good structure for your essay, it will help prevent writers block. In this essay McPhee provides examples for several stories he worked on. He offers suggestions on how to develop structure. And he discusses approaching structure chronologically and thematically. He the story about computer programs he used to help him organize his research material into a viable structure. Toward the end of the essay, he returns to his main suggestion for developing structure and encourages writers to settle on a strong lead and allow that opening to dictate the best possible form for their piece. Write a post of at least 150 words that takes a closer look at one of McPhee’s experiences of organizing a story and clearly states how he decided to structure the story. Then offer your thoughts in response to that. Also, please make sure to thoughtfully respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts (I will add the two post that you need to comment on the materials part).

Is the French legal requirement that all alcoholic food be labelled with obvious warnings about the health risks associated with consuming alcohol compatible with Article 34 TFEU and, if not, can it be justified either under Article 36 TFEU or under Cassis de Dijon?

Assessment Instructions

Coursework Question

Please attempt only ONE of the two questions below:

1. Critically comment on the judgment of the CJEU in the case of М.А. v Stolichna obshtina, rayon „Pancharevo“ (ECLI:EU:C:2021:1008)

The case commentary should have an introduction and a conclusion and should be structured in three parts:

1. case facts (ie procedural history, relevant law, issues in the case, arguments of the parties, legal background and interpretation of the law) – 25 marks;
2. judgment (opinion of the AG (if relevant), judgment and rationale) – 25 marks;
3. critical analysis of the judgment – 50 marks.

OR

2. The following is a hypothetical situation. Your research should only be addressed to the legal scenario described in this question.

Gunther runs UberChoc GmbH (‘UberChoc’), a German company, which makes speciality chocolates. It has developed a new range of chocolates infused with alcohol (rather than traditional liquors of hollow chocolate shells containing liquid alcoholic centres). The alcoholic content of the new chocolates is between 2% and 5%.

UberChoc also manufactures alcoholic drinks made from spirits (gin, vodka, etc.) and ready mixed with real fruit juice.

Gunther has tried to export his alcohol products to France but has encountered the following problem with the French authorities, namely that:

1. a) all alcoholic fruit drinks sold in France (whether imported or produced in France) are subject to a standard rate of duty at 20% of the wholesale price of the products. The duty paid on imported products has to be paid to the French authorities at the point of entry into France. The duty on alcoholic fruit drinks produced in France must be paid within 30 days after the sale to the consumer in France.

Furthermore, UberChoc has been informed that their chocolates exported to France will be subject to the French (imaginary) Décret no 2350-2022 du 13 May 2022 relatif à la vente au détail de produits alimentaires alcoolisés (Decree nr 2350-2022 of 13 May 2022 on Retail Sale of Alcoholic Food) (‘the Decree’) which requires that:

1. all alcoholic food, whether imported or domestically produced, be sold only in licensed premises. This can include supermarkets that are licensed to sell alcohol, but the alcoholic chocolates will have to be sold in that part of the supermarket where alcoholic drinks are sold (not in the food sections); and
2. all alcoholic food, whether imported or domestically produced, be labelled with obvious warnings about the health risks associated with consuming alcohol.

Please answer the following questions

1. Can Gunther challenge the 20% duty on alcoholic fruit drinks on the ground of either Article 30 or 110 TFEU?

2. Can Gunther challenge the requirement under the French Decree that all alcoholic food be sold only in licensed premises on the ground of its incompatibility with Article 34 TFEU?

3. Is the French legal requirement that all alcoholic food be labelled with obvious warnings about the health risks associated with consuming alcohol compatible with Article 34 TFEU and, if not, can it be justified either under Article 36 TFEU or under Cassis de Dijon?

This problem question will be marked out of 100.

There is no word limit for each sub-question (1-3) but please try to spend equal time and effort on each question in order to increase your chances of a good overall mark.
