NounSingular legality Plural countable and uncountable; plural legalities legality (countable and uncountable; plural legalities) AntonymsCategory: English nounsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The principle of legality is the legal ideal that requires all law to be clear, ascertainable and non-retrospective. It requires decision makers to resolve disputes by applying legal rules that have been declared beforehand, and not to alter the legal situation retrospectively by discretionary departures from established law. It is closely related to legal formalism and the rule of law and can be traced from the writings of Feuerbach, Dicey and Montesquieu. The principle has particular relevance in criminal and administrative law. In criminal law it can be seen in the general prohibition on the imposition of criminal sanctions for acts or omissions that were not criminal at the time of their commission or omission. The principle is also thought to be violated when the sanctions for a particular crime are increased with retrospective effect. In administrative law it can be seen in the desire for state officials to be bound by and apply the law rather than acting upon whim. As such advocates of the principle are normally against discretionary powers. The principle can be varyingly expressed in Latin phrases such as Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia lege poenali (No crime can be committed, nor punishment imposed without a pre-existing penal law), nulla poena sine lege (no penalty without law) and nullum crimen sine lege (no crime without law).

GNU Free Documentation License What is the Legality of Stat Padding in High School Sports? Q. I was wondering about the legality of stat padding in high school. That is to say, a coach tells the newspaper and other sources that a kid got a triple double, and there is video evidence that he didn't come close to it. Scouts could look at this in the paper and be misled because the coach lied, and in the end it could hurt the kid because the stats show he is a different player than what he really is. Would this be slander, or is there another law out there this would fall under? Could the coach get in serious trouble for this and possibly lose his job? Thank you in advance for anyone who can provide me with some knowledge on this issue. Asked by THildebrand - Mon Nov 6 03:04:00 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Contact the UIL as they have over sight for high school sports. I don't know about the legality of lying, but most HS athletic codes make it a violation to pad stats with non legit play, e.g. deliberately let other team score to get the ball back. I would imagine a university could file some sort of lawsuit against a coach school who lied about a player's performance, but that's where scouts come in.

Id like to know the details of the legality of possessing lock picks in CA and NE, if you are not a licensed locksmith. Asked by cppdungeon - Sat Aug 4 02:32:10 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I like Mikey's answer, so please don't vote for me. Bottom line is, if you're not a locksmith, you're in possession of burglary tools. I have taken two courses in locksmithing, so I have a reason to carry lock picks. Here's a secret. Most locksmiths will either drill, or cut a lock. Lock picks are more for fun.

Q. I have a friend who grew up in the city and I want to help her build up driving confidence. She has a license but essentially she just took a crash driving course and never really had any highway experience. She does not have a car and so obviously she is uninsured. I am insured but I want to know if it is okay to let her practice on my car while I am sitting besides her. Any ideas? This is for California, by the way. Thanks for everyone's kind responses. My friend *has* been trained in driving school--that's how she got her license. She took a week of lessons and she got her license on the first try. She wanted me to help her because her driver instructor was not very thorough nor patient. He taught her only enough to pass the driving… [cont.] Asked by jsrfgurl - Fri Jun 9 17:24:00 2006 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. The insurance on your car will cover her while she's driving. Insurance is on the vehicle, NOT the driver. You have to list all members of your household who are of driving age but that's only for determining insurance rates. You could let her drive the car by herself if you wanted. She'd still be insured. Since you're going to have an inexperienced driver operating your car, it might be a good idea to bump up the liability limits just in case.
