On 28 August 2019, the Full Federal Court of Australia handed down its decision in four test cases selected by the Court as representative of over 50 cases brought on behalf of asylum seekers on Nauru and Papua New Guinea against the Minister for Home Affairs (the test cases). The test cases confirmed that the Federal Court does have the jurisdiction to hear negligence claims brought by immigration transferees offshore, but that the jurisdiction of the Federal Court has limits.

This article explores controversial opinions on the operation of offshore business, problems caused by redistribution of entrepreneurial resources, as well as the flight of capital from the national economy. The latter determined the authors' interest in this economic phenomenon. Substantiating the relevance of the topic, the following should be considered. To develop market relations, to transform the structure of the ownership and to change the management system, it is necessary to devise and apply new methods and approaches to offshore business. This manuscript aims to identify the specifics of the business functioning in the offshore zone regarding the Russian economy. The methodology includes general scientific and special research methods, in particular, the correlation method. The authors applied system analysis to ensure the integrity of the study. Theoretical, comparative and statistical analyses are the main methods used in the article. The authors built an econometric model and proved the influence of offshore business on the Russian economy. The relevance, theoretical and practical significance are determined by its focus on solving an important scientific and practical problem that has empirical significance for offshore business in the framework of the national investment regime which uses limited investments and aims to optimize their sources.

A method for calculation of total maximum allocated load (TMAL) of petroleum in Bohai Sea was established based on jurisdictions by linking land and sea. The TMALs of petroleum pollutants for 51 sea-sink source regions, 356 jurisdictions, and 6 petroleum drilling platforms (PDPs) around the Bohai Sea were calculated. Results showed that the TMALs of petroleum pollutants in 51 sea-sink source regions and 6 PDPs amount to 1.9 × 10 4 tons/year. The largest TMAL is from the rivers, followed by that of PDPs and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), at about 0.22 × 10 3 , 0.13 × 10 3 , and 0.11 × 10 3 tons/year on average, respectively. The maximum values are 3.05 × 10 3 , 0.47 × 10 3 , and 0.65 × 10 3 tons/year respectively, while the minimum values are 0.18, 0.10, and 0.31 tons/year respectively. The TMAL of petroleum pollutants on source producing and TMAL on source emission are 11.9 × 10 4 tons/year and 1.9 × 10 4 tons/year in 356 jurisdictions, respectively. The TMAL is high in upstream of each basin and the areas of marine water exchange rapidly. Taking Laizhou Bay as an example, 19 jurisdictions are overloaded with petroleum pollutants, and its overload rate is 670% on average. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the digital privacy provisions in the island of Jersey. This is mainly done by examining the two key pieces of legislation with which any workplace must comply with. Those legislations are: The Employment (Jersey) Law 2003, and the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005. Neither law has digital privacy provisions per se, but these are the two prevalent pieces of legislation governing employer-employee relations in the island of Jersey at present. The study relates the local legislation in the island of Jersey to its UK and European counterparts identifying the missing parts. To investigate how much compliance to those legislations in the island's workplace, a typical workplace of Lysaght's, the current employer for the second author, is chosen as a case study. The study highlights the areas of concerns and provides specific recommendations for the employer. This work can be used as the basis for steering the future judicial review of this area, to ensure the island of Jersey remains in compliance with its peers both domestically and internationally.

International Financial Reporting Standards were established as International Accounting Standards in 1973 to be generally worldwide accepted language for financial reporting. Nowadays it is more than 40 years since the beginning of the international accounting standards and there is no doubt that IFRS become the lingua franca for financial reporting of companies whose securities are traded on public markets. IFRS is very close to accounting profession and has been included in accounting education of University programs and various charted accountants programs. IFRS has become an ordinary part of our professional life. Despite all these facts the goal of the paper is to provide an analysis of three aspects such as number of countries have already adopted IFRS, number of companies presenting figures based on IFRS and market capitalization of those companies and to express opinion whether IFRS can be really designated as global standards for financial reporting that is presented in lots of papers. The analysis is based on findings resulting from the IASB‘s survey which was finished by 138 countries till November 2014. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
