Wrongful conception, pregnancy and birth

Wrongful conception, pregnancy and birth The law relating to wrongful conception, pregnancy and birth can be broken down into four areas: • wrongful conception following a negligently performed sterilisation operation (male or female) resulting in the birth of a healthy child • wrongful conception following a negligently performed sterilisation operation (male or female) resulting in the birth of a disabled child • a disabled woman’s wrongful conception with a healthy child • wrongful birth where the claimant mother would have terminated the pregnancy had she been made aware that the child was or was likely to be disabled Wrongful conception, pregnancy and birth claims are usually brought by the person carrying the pregnancy as opposed to any child borne of that pregnancy. An action on behalf of a child, whether disabled or not, alleging that their birth (as opposed to any injuries) arose due to negligence (ie a claim for wrongful life) is not permitted. It appears that there is a statutory exception to this rule under section...

Cloud computing—Austria—Q&A guide

Cloud computing—Austria—Q&A guide This Practice Note contains a jurisdiction-specific Q&A guide to cloud computing in Austria published as part of the Lexology Getting the Deal Through series by Law Business Research (published: September 2022). Authors: MGLP Rechtsanwälte | Attorneys-at-Law—Árpád Geréd 1. What kinds of cloud computing transactions take place in your jurisdiction? Austria has seen a rising adoption of cloud computing applications in recent years. Although less than a decade ago the legal possibility of using cloud computing was still widely discussed, now most Austrian businesses make use of cloud computing offerings, ranging from full cloud-sourcing to single applications. Of the various XaaS offerings, the use of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) as well as software-as-a-service (SaaS) are the most prevalent. Due to the large amount of small and medium-sized businesses, cloud storage and backup solutions as well as cloud applications are statistically used most and have a very high acceptance in relation to the number of businesses. This is also due to even small IT service providers offering managed...

What are the formalities for using a registered society seal?

What are the formalities for using a registered society seal? Where a company has a seal and it is being utilised, practitioners must ensure that it complies with the relevant section of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006). However, note that not all companies have a company seal and even companies that do have seals are not obliged to execute simple documents under seal. CA 2006, s 45(2) further states that company seals are required to have the company's name clearly and legibly inscribed on them. Failure to comply with this requirement results in a criminal offence being committed by the company and each of its officers (CA 2006, s 45(3)). Where execution using the company seal is adopted, the common seal will normally be affixed to the deed in the presence of the company secretary and one director, or two directors, who attest the sealing by countersigning the deed and describing themselves by their respective offices. Additionally, if a seal is to be used for...

Can an alternate director sign a deed on behalf of a company?

Can an alternate director sign a deed on behalf of a company? For the purposes of this Q&A, we have assumed the company is incorporated in England and Wales and as such the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) applies and the deed is exclusively governed by English law. As there is no statutory right to appoint an alternate director, the scope of the alternate directors powers will depend on what is provided for in the company’s articles of association. The Model articles—public company—before 28 April 2013, for example, permit a director to appoint either (a) any other director or (b) any other person approved by resolution of the directors to exercise that director's powers and carry out that director's responsibilities (Reg 25(1)). Unless the articles specify otherwise, alternate directors are deemed for all purposes to be directors, are liable for their own acts and omissions, are subject to the same restrictions as their appointors and are not deemed to be agents of their appointors (Reg 26(2)). For...
