Shalala, the FDA (defendant) did not authorize the appellants to include the four claims on the label of the dietary supplements with the reasoning that the scientific evidence is not enough to meet the requirements of significant scientific agreement11. In response to this, the appellant argued that the FDA never explained the term significant or on what basis the FDA measures the significant evidence and thus violated their constitutional rights under First Amendment by not providing an explanation with reasoning for rejecting the appellants proposed health claims11. Also, the appellants argued that under Administrative Procedure Act the FDA is obliged to articulate a standard good deal more concrete than the undefined “significant scientific agreement”11. Therefore, the court hold that the FDA’s interpretation regarding the four claims is invalid as the FDA did not provide a valid definition of scientific

What if I told you that you couldn’t read your favorite book just because it was considered “inappropriate”? I believe that The Chocolate War should not be banned anywhere and all middle schoolers should be free to read it.

For example, by rejecting a strict 70–point cutoff there is no universal score which indicates an intellectual disability. Does this harm the process or help the process? In other words, has the Supreme Court made the process more vague and

Sasha, I agree that mediation is a more practical process to use if an employer thinks a conflict will be dismissed by a judge. The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service has provided alternative methods for resolving labor disputes since 1947. It has trained other agencies to utilize labor-management techniques for resolving disputes by using a non-threatening, impartial, neutral party to intervene prior to costly court proceedings (Barrett & Tanner, 1981). References Barrett, J. T., & Tanner, L. D. (1981). The FMCS role in age discrimination complaints: New uses of mediation.

Schaffer was not a declaratory judgment case and it described exceptions to its burden of proof rule. The Court stated that for the aforementioned reasons declaratory judgement actions like the one at issue in this case were also an exception to the Schaffer rule.

The defendant was in breach of duty, in that no showering or washing facilities were provided for employees. This meant that the plaintiff had to cycle home after working in very hot and dusty conditions without showering and removing the dust from his body. The plaintiff was unable to prove that the absence of showering facilities caused his dermatitis. It was found on the basis of medical evidence that the provision of showers would have reduced the chances of Mr McGhee contracting the disease but could not prove with certainty that it would have prevented it all together.
