Abstract
This paper endeavours to establish whether six influential judicial decisions have extended orthodox equitable principles as an effort of achieving practical justice. The maxims of equity are closely adhered to as its principles are reflected and upheld via a strong body of case law. It looks at how, despite equity's tendencies of protecting their maxims as a means of providing a flexible alternative to the common law, some modern judicial activists as well as academics have sought to expand, and at times overlook the nexus of equitable principles in order to achieve practical justice.

Introduction
The Impact of Six Influential Judicial Decisions
From the Paper
"Equally, the growing significance the utilitarian application of trusts for commercial purposes have implied a more modernised approach of trusts law. Consequently, this essay will also examine whether equity has departed from its traditionally devised means of providing trusts over land and over the family home to become a method of aiding and protecting many commercial dealings. Indeed, it may be argued that orthodox principles of equity are aptly suited to the historical applications of trusts in the context of family settlements, however lack real significance in the modern world of commerce and forms of increasingly complex trusts."

Abstract
This paper describes the function of brand equity, explains its importance to a businesses' success, reviews literature on how to build brand equity and takes a look at how the concept of brand equity in the past in order to discern how companies can best increase brand equity in the present and future.
From the Paper
"One of the most significant ways that companies can increase their brand equity is through advertising. Research done in the past on the subject of advertising looked at how people reacted to advertisements, in that it tried to determine if these individuals would buy the product based on the advertisement. More recently, other research has focused on the actual affect and whether or not the consumer actually likes the advertisement that he or she sees (Vakratsas & Ambler, 1999). Sometimes, individuals purchase products from companies simply because they are familiar with a certain brand, even if they do not care for their advertisements. However, brand equity can become much stronger if it can evolve from advertisements that a consumer actually likes and feels good about viewing."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how private equity investment has been encouraged as a corporate growth strategy by the deregulation of international trade and by a historical period of corporate consolidation. The investigation discusses China and India, two of the fastest growing nations in the schemes of both globalizing and rising interests in foreign direct private equity investment. Considering the economic, organizational and political ramifications of private equity investment in either setting, this research ultimately finds that the isolated nature of India's globalization-based growth makes it a less certain opportunity than China, where development of infrastructure and elevation of the middle class are likely to overshadow future political or social unrest.

From the Paper
"The relationship between the rapid expansion of the Indian capital market and the heightened emphasis on a global investment strategy has given the Indian government as much incentive to open its doors to foreign firms as it has given these firms economic cause to enter the increasingly saturated field. The result has been an incredible boon to India's equity market, where in the first half of fiscal year 2005-2006, India was the site of roughly U.S. $7.96 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI), which represented over three times as much of such investment as had been reported during the prior years first half. (Moniz, [2006]) India's hospitable nature to foreign investment has taken the form of its increasing willingness to allow foreign investment to actually account for the majority interest in some of its largest industries such as the telecom and infrastructure sectors. These major state-regulated concerns are increasingly receptive to the seemingly endless flow of western capital into "development of new airports, laying of natural gas pipelines, petroleum infrastructure, captive mining of coal and lignite, mining of diamonds and precious stones, as well as the development of townships where complete foreign ownership is now welcome." (Moniz, [2006]) This tends to characterize the larger appeal of India."

"Equity financing is the act of raising money for company activities by selling common or preferred stock to individual or institutional investors. In return for the money paid, shareholders receive ownership interests in the corporation. Equity (or common stock) offers residual claims. On a balance sheet, equity equals total assets less all liabilities. Equity financing is generally recommended for a business that's experiencing very high growth with high investment risk. The major sources of equity financing include individuals starting the business, friends and family, angel investors, venture capitalists, and public equity markets. Equity can take several forms including preferred stock, common stock, limited partnership interest, and project equity."

Abstract
This paper explains that pay equity is a gender independent pay process, which reduces wage inequity between men and women workers: Same wages for the same jobs. The author points out that pay equity is not a new issue; the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's (BPWs) Clubs, was established in July 1919 to eradicate sex discrimination in workplace, to confirm the principle of equal pay and to legislate a complete equal rights amendment. The paper relates that the wage disparity became apparent in the U.S. because of women and minorities entering the paid workforce; however, its prevalence was not perceived until the large entry of women seeking jobs during World War II.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Irrespective of the promulgation of Equal Pay Act ever since last four decades the wage disparities between men and women obstinately prevails. Women are still failing to earn equal pay for equal work only equal pay for comparable work. Such discrimination not only influences the spending capacity of women but also it costs their retirement security by entailing wide gulf between the social security and pensions. As per the study of 2004 conducted by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, on the basis of the US Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor statistics, it has been brought out that woman employed full time only gets 76 cents in comparison to one dollar for a man in the same time. The real median income of women is observed to have reduced by more than half a million dollar i.e. $523,000 over the last four decades."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a commitment to equity in education means a commitment to social justice, which has been an important slogan of the Ontario Ministry of Education for more than 10 years. While one is accustomed to such references applied to the advancement of women or visible minorities, the same general ideal is to apply to persons who are gays or lesbians during their experiences of education. The writer notes that this may be difficult for various schools and educators to assimilate with regard to students who are not heterosexual or espouse support for gay and lesbian fellow students, and notably in Roman Catholic settings that have not been influenced pervasively by contemporary Roman Catholic views on homosexuality, at large. However, the writer maintains that more Ontario Ministry statements on equity and social justice can be expected to refer to matters of gender and sexual orientation in the next years, part of a general social adjustment meant to fully include gay or lesbian persons. The writer concludes that with regard to Roman Catholic education in Ontario one recognizes the need to see equity as social justice realized in more schools' approaches to the gay student.

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"The presence of a few gay or lesbian students should be accepted by those who work in Roman Catholic high schools, at the very least, and with teachers and guidance counselors prepared to counsel occasional students to report questions concerning homosexuality including those to state that they realize they are gay. A pastoral message of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops addressed the needs of the parents of gay or lesbian children in a manner demonstrating the hierarchy's acceptance of this phenomenon and the first reactions adults may have to the news that a child is not heterosexual. The general approach is one instructing adults to accept the person who is different, seeing that the person feels supported and does not succumb to depression, alienation or the dangers of these results, directing counseling so that the person does not feel rejected. The general suggestion is that homosexuality is not condemned as much as its lifestyle that may indeed take form if a child is ostracized. In the last years, the Roman Catholic Church has supported research into homosexuality as a human condition and in awareness of gay and lesbian persons who may become vagrant, addicted to drugs or an uncaring promiscuity, if they are rejected by their families and friends."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines equity theory, a process theory that focuses on individuals? perceptions of how fairly they are treated relative to others. It looks at how, while this theory initially related to pay, it can also be expanded and applied to other areas of workplace relations. It attempts to show how equity theory relates to various factors related to employee management and how, for any organization, there is a need to consider how individual employees and departments are treated in regards to salary, praise, awards, and involvement.
From the Paper
"It is also important to note that equity theory applies to areas that go beyond just pay. Firstly, rewards can come in other forms such as praise, awards, and recognition. If some employees receive greater praise than others, this can result in situations that are perceived as inequitable. Issues of equity also commonly arise between departments. For example, consider a situation where the marketing department is always receiving praise for its accomplishments. Other departments may be just as effective but their outputs are not as obvious. This can result in entire departments feeling that their contribution is not appreciated and can also cause conflict between departments. Another issues relates to involvement with the company."

Equity in Occupational Gender Roles, 2006.
A look at how the disparity between men and women in occupational equity has changed over time.

Abstract
This paper discusses the disparity has long existed between men and women in occupational equity, explaining that these changes, for several possible reasons, began to take place during the Neolithic Revolution. The paper also looks at the substantial changes that have been made in the last two centuries through reform acts, legislation, and social movements while also pointing out that, in spite of the great strides that have been made in these areas, women still face difficulties in rising through corporate ranks.
From the Paper
"Men and women have always seemed to occupy different places in the work force. Women have typically taken the role of gatherer, caregiver, nurturer--passive roles, in most cases, in which they stayed close to the family or larger tribal unit. Men, on the other hand, have roamed far from the central group as hunters, warrior, and protectors of the social order. In today's world, the wide gender gap of the nineteenth century has changed substantially to the very narrow spectrum of differences seen today."

Policing Equity, 2008.
This paper argues that police departments especially in Toronto, Canada, have an abysmal track-record in terms of equity in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although there were landmark appointments of women, visible minorities and homosexuals to positions of power within law-enforcement structures especially in the 1970s, today such appointments in Canada are relatively rare. The author points out that, when police forces fail to hire personnel that represent the community in terms of gender, race and sexuality, they also fail to serve properly the community. The paper stresses that equity will not exist until discriminated community members are allowed to gain power by rising through the ranks and attaining the experience needed to run a major police force.
From the Paper
"Toronto, meanwhile, while considered so progressive that some people playfully refer to it as the new Amsterdam, finds its force far behind on equity issues in terms of employment. While the city is reaching out to more diverse communities in terms of recruitment, it is clear that its power structure is bound and determined to continue in the old ways. In fact, the closest thing the force has had to a top cop from equity communities were former police board chairs Olivia Chow (who is of Chinese descent) and Pam MacConnell (an out-lesbian), both of whom were forced out of their positions after daring to be critical of police."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that the competitive advantage of successful branding is pervading both the online and offline strategies of many companies, and having a resulting impact on their ability to grow and sustain their revenues. The writer notes that many studies suggest that most customers do not distinguish between branding efforts online and offline, and prefer the interactivity and knowledge available from websites and online tools as viable alternatives to learning more about a company. The writer concludes that creating globally competitive brands is possible using either the offline and online platforms, yet the most powerful brands reinforce each other through the use of the best of both mediums.
From the Paper
"Creating globally competitive brands is possible using either the offline and online platforms, yet the most powerful brands reinforce each other through the use of the best of both mediums. The long-term competitive value of a successful brand is clear however, as consumers confront an increasingly complex and option-rich world to choose from. Brands have become an essential tool for global consumers to navigate the complexities of making decisions across a vast array of choices. Both business-to-business (sometimes called B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) audiences rely on brands and their associated values to make purchasing decisions less stressful and anxiety-ridden and more full of trust, hence where loyalty is created. The phrase "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" is a case in point. The attributes of a successful brand transcend either delivery approach, whether it be online or offline. The core values propagated and communicated through a brand are further strengthened by the specific tools available in both the online and offline arenas."
