DISCUSSION: Floating charges are handled differently according to the banking system. For example, while American law does not recognise them and Scottish law only began to recognise them in 1962, British law has recognised them for over 100 years. ii) What are the difficulties with floating charges that have caused other systems not to recognise this type of charge, and iii) how are these difficulties overcome in the business environments that accept them?
DISCUSSION: Required reading is the Chancery Court decision in Attheraces (ATR) v BHB. This case is an example of a private action for enforcement of competition law: specifically ATR was seeking an injunction against BHBs allegedly excessively high prices as abuse of market dominance. ATR was successful in this action. The decision of the Chancery Court was overturned on appeal (by the Court of Appeal) in a judgment that accepted some of the trial judges conclusions but rejected others. ATR indicated it would seek leave to appeal to the High Court, but (as with so many private enforcement cases) the matter was settled between the parties out of court before it could be heard. Ensure that you support your conclusion with brief but relevant quotes or citations from the case, and where appropriate brief quotes or citations from the appeal (available at https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2007/38.html).

TOPIC: The trajectory of American vernacular music can be seen as a balance between tradition and innovation. Vernacular music performers often express a pull toward the past, toward history, and toward older ways of making music (i.e., tradition) while at the same time looking to the contemporary social and musical landscape and making changes to the way things have been done previously (i.e., innovation). Compare and contrast two genres or performers discussed in this class in terms of this balance.

This Learning Activity gives you a chance to integrate and develop a theological method. Not a summary or book review, this Theological Method Paper exercises and demonstrates your critical thinking skills. This is a paper in which you demonstrate your theological method; the focus in grading is more the “how” and “why” you defend your views than “what” those views are. Use these criteria for help: Evaluate Deeres view of revelation and Scripture in light of the other readings for this course and the class discussions. You must engage with Deere’s arguments, not just make assertions about them. Evaluate his presentation for biblical accuracy. You must interact with Deere’s use of Scripture. Critique the cogency of his arguments. You must evaluate them. Write as though Deere will read your critique. Avoid summarizing the material or submitting a book review. Keep your response between 12 to 15 pages. Format your paper according to Turabian. NB (Nota Bene means note well or pay attention): Focus your response on Deeres view of revelation and the related doctrines of Scripture. Avoid wrestling with the numerous other issues raised in this book. Finally, the goal of this assignment is not to discern your ability to give or defend the professor’s view/s, but how well you defend your view/s.
