Legal Terms - doli capax
Capable of wrong. A youngster below the age of 10 is considered incapable of criminal responsibility. Children above the age of 10
are doli capax and are regarded as adults, although they are typically adjudicated in specialized child courts (with the exception of homicide and some other serious offenses) and subjected to distinct penalties. Formerly, there was a rebuttable presumption that a kid between the ages of 10 and 14 was likewise doli incapax (incapable of wrong). This assumption has been eliminated (Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s 34).

Legal Terms - dog-leg” claim
A claim for *breach of trust by a beneficiary against the directors of a *trust corporation. The directors would not, under normal company law principles, be potential targets for a trust beneficiary; the directors ordinarily owe duties solely to the company, the trust corporation. However, in circumstances where the trust corporation is not prepared or able to pursue its own directors for breach of *fiduciary duty and has no assets out of which a claim by beneficiaries for breach of trust may be satisfied, the beneficiaries may wish to pursue the directors of the trust corporation directly. The “dog-leg” claim has been used in an attempt to circumvent the general principle that a director cannot be pursued personally for a breach of duty to the company; it argues that a claim for breach of trust arising because of the breach of duty by individual directors of a trust corporation is held on trust for the beneficiaries. Such a claim has, however, received a very lukewarm reception. A “dog-leg” claim was considered arguable in HA v JAPT [1997] OPLR 123; however, other attempts to assert such a claim have failed (Gregson v HAE Trustees [2008] EWHC 1006 (Ch), [2008] WLR (D)146; Alhamrani v Alhamrani [2007] JRC 026 (a decision of the Royal Court of Jersey)).

Legal Terms - doctrine of incorporation
The principle that international law rules are immediately incorporated into domestic law. It contradicts the idea of transformation, which asserts that foreign law constitutes a component of municipal law only when recognized as such by legislation or court rulings. The stance of English law toward the principles of customary international law remains ambiguous. Regarding international treaties, the sovereign possesses the authority to create or ratify treaties that bind England under international law; nevertheless, these treaties do not impact municipal law (save for those controlling warfare) until ratified by Parliament. Judges may occasionally take into account the stipulations of international treaties, such as those concerning human rights, while interpreting domestic law. It is asserted that directives of the European Community possess legal authority in member states; however, implementation varies significantly.
