  • Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws
    Statute Law Repeals: Consultation Paper Repeal of Turnpike Laws SLR 02/10: Closing date for responses – 25 June 2010 BACKGROUND NOTES ON STATUTE LAW REPEALS (SLR) What is it? 1. Our SLR work involves repealing statutes that are no longer of practical utility. The purpose is to modernise and simplify the statute book, thereby reducing its size and thus saving the time of lawyers and others who use it. This in turn helps to avoid unnecessary costs. It also stops people being misled by obsolete laws that masquerade as live law. If an Act features still in the statute book and is referred to in text-books, people reasonably enough assume that it must mean something. Who does it? 2. Our SLR work is carried out by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission pursuant to section 3(1) of the Law Commissions Act 1965. Section 3(1) imposes a duty on both Commissions to keep the law under review “with a view to its systematic development and reform, including in particular ... the repeal of obsolete and unnecessary enactments, the reduction of the number of separate enactments and generally the simplification and modernisation of the law”. Statute Law (Repeals) Bill 3. Implementation of the Commissions’ SLR proposals is by means of special Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. 18 such Bills have been enacted since 1965 repealing more than 2000 whole Acts and achieving partial repeals in thousands of others. Broadly speaking the remit of a Statute Law (Repeals) Bill extends to any enactment passed at Westminster. Accordingly it is capable of repealing obsolete statutory text throughout the United Kingdom (i.e.

  • An Airline Merger and Its Remedies: JAL-JAS of 2002
    DPRIETI Discussion Paper Series 15-E-100 An Airline Merger and its Remedies: JAL-JAS of 2002 DOI Naoshi Sapporo Gakuin University OHASHI Hiroshi RIETI The Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry http://www.rieti.go.jp/en/ RIETI Discussion Paper Series 15-E-100 August 2015 An Airline Merger and its Remedies: JAL-JAS of 2002* DOI Naoshi** Sapporo Gakuin University OHASHI Hiroshi† University of Tokyo, RIETI Abstract This paper investigates the economic impacts of the merger between Japan Airlines (JAL) and Japan Air System (JAS) in October 2002 and its remedial measures. This paper performs simulation analyses using an estimated structural model in which airlines set both fares and flight frequencies on each route in the domestic market. By comparing supply models, the hypothesis that the merger caused a collusion among airlines is rejected. The marginal-cost estimates for the merging airlines significantly declined primarily through the expansion of its domestic network. The simulation estimates suggest that, although the merger increased the total social surplus for all domestic routes by 6.8%, it increased fares and decreased consumer surplus on the JAL–JAS duopoly routes. This paper also evaluates remedial measures associated with the merger. Keywords: Horizontal merger, Remedial measures, Airline industry, Structural estimation JEL classification: L11; L13; L93; L41; C51 RIETI Discussion Papers Series aims at widely disseminating research results in the form of professional papers, thereby stimulating lively discussion.

Ultimate strength design considering structural nonlinearities compares the ultimate load- carrying capacity of a structure with the estimated load demands and maintains a suitable ratio between them. Generally, this kind of design philosophy is applied to the long-span bridge structures with spans of more than 200 m, i.e., arches, cable-stayed girder bridges, stiffened suspension bridges, etc. 2. Working stress design relies on an elastic linear analysis of the structures at normal working loads. The strength of the structural member is assessed by imposing a factor of safety between the maximum stress at working loads and the critical stress, such as the tension yield stress © 2000 by CRC Press LLC TABLE 65.1 Loading Combinations and Their Multiplier Coefficients for Allowable Stresses No.

  • Examples of Bridge Damage on Metropolitan Expressway Discovered by Emergency Structural Inspections After the Tohoku Earthquake
    EXAMPLES OF BRIDGE DAMAGE ON METROPOLITAN EXPRESSWAY DISCOVERED BY EMERGENCY STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS AFTER THE TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE Tsuyoshi KOSUGI 1 Takehiko HATSUKU 2 Masaru SHIMONISHI 3 Abstract The Tohoku Earthquake on March 11, 2011 (Heisei 23) was observed to be seismic intensity 5 Upper by the JMA intensity scale even in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, which is more than 300 km from the epicenter. Even the Metropolitan Expressway took heavy damage centered on the coastal regions where the shaking was strong. In this article, we introduce the results of the emergency inspections of the Metropolitan Expressway conducted after the earthquake and examples of the damage discovered. From the bridge pier inspections targeting bearings and earthquake-resistance reinforcements, it is clearly necessary to focus on damage around bearings when elevated bridges have major curvature or inclination such as in junctions, as well as when piers are steel structures. In addition, considerable surface difference in level was observed in areas where the piers were constructed on reclaimed land, and the reason is thought cavities that occurred by land subsidence before the earthquake become larger as a result of the earthquake. 1. Introduction The world's largest magnitude 9.0 earthquake, with an epicenter off the Sanriku coast in the Pacific Ocean, struck Japan on March 11, 2011.
