Discussion and Analysis. The Kensington Police Department rank and file includes an executive (Chief), two first line supervisors (Sergeant) and six line-staff (Police Officer). Contemporary Police organizations employ a middle management rank between the Sergeant and Chief of Police. This rank is commonly known as Lieutenant, Commander, or Captain. The title depends largely on the size and needs of an organization and can include multiple positions and a variety of ranks in combination with one another. The most widely used rank in Contra Costa County is that of a Lieutenant. The work of a police lieutenant is that of a middle-management role for law enforcement. The Lieutenant will take directions from the Chief of Police and develop a plan of action for sergeants and front-line officers. Responsibilities include completing Internal Affairs Investigations, reviewing matters of use of force, policy development and overseeing grants. The Lieutenant will select and assign staff, ensuring equal employment opportunity in hiring and promotion, and set work schedules and priority tasks for officers. The Lieutenant is responsible for evaluating sergeants and other staff in performance reviews and identifying development and training needs for the department. On top of these precinct duties, the Lieutenant will work with other law enforcement agencies in the area and act as an ambassador of the police department in meetings, schools, and other community functions. Promotion to this rank demonstrates years of experience as well as an ability for leadership and strong public relations skills.

Before entering into a transaction, the parties will enter into an agreement first. This agreement will regulate the rights and obligations of the parties, procedures for carrying out transactions, as well as procedures for settlement in the event of a dispute in the future. Over time, agreements develop to prevent bad things from happening. With this prevention, business activities can run smoothly and the parties can benefit from each other. In making an agreement, the parties are free to determine the content and terms of the agreement in accordance with the principle of freedom of contract that applies in Indonesia. The parties are free to determine the rights and obligations as well as other things that are considered to be able to facilitate the activities in the agreement.

Discussion and Analysis. 14. In the first instance, before adverting to the issues as outlined in paragraph 2 above, the Court considers the competing arguments pertaining to the apprehension of the word ‘value’ arising under section 72 of the Act. The Commissioner under this section is obliged to accept the higher between the value of the land and the stated consideration in the conveyance or transfer. The closely related definitions of ‘fair market value’ and the contextualisation of the elements comprising this definition as referred by both counsel for the parties15 are accepted by the Court. With respect to the perspective of the sale as advocated by both counsel however – i.e. Counsel for the Defendant alleging that the sale was a forced sale, the Court is in agreement with Senior Counsel for the Claimant that the fact of the sale having been conducted pursuant to a mortgagee’s power of sale does not render it a forced sale. In this regard, it is accepted, that a price obtained in such a sale, is not excluded from satisfying the elements enumerated above, as requisites for a sale to be reflective of the ‘fair market value’ of land. This determination by the Court that the sale in question was indeed between a willing buyer and seller, operating at arms’ length with each other and being knowledgeable of the conditions of the land – does not determine the dispute as it relates to the construction of the Commissioner’s obligations under section 72. The question of whether the Commissioner can properly look behind the stated consideration as being the best evidence of market value, which is the second issue identified in paragraph 2 above, must nonetheless be determined by the Court.
Discussion and Analysis. Issue 1: Whether the Plaintiffs were promoted to senior flight attendants [24] Learned Queen’s Counsel Xx. Xxxxxx appearing with Xx. Xxxxxx for the Plaintiffs submitted that the Plaintiffs were promoted from junior flight attendants to senior flight attendants. They further submitted that the positions as outlined in the CAM exhibits a hierarchy relative to various ranking positions within Bahamasair where, it is evident by the hierarchy, that the post of senior flight attendant reflects a level of power and authority over a junior flight attendant which is to be interpreted as a promotional move and not a change in status. [25] Counsel next submitted that it is erroneous for Bahamasair to advance the argument that the post of junior and senior flight attendants is not deemed a promotion, because in order to qualify for the position of senior flight attendant, one must sit and be a successful candidate in the Cabin Crew Leadership Training, which was advertised by Bahamasair, among other requirements, which the Plaintiffs had satisfied and fulfilled. Additionally, says Counsel, the 2013 Agreement outlines the duties and responsibilities of both junior and senior flight attendants and, in the role of a senior flight attendant, the level of responsibility shifts and the duties of the two positions vary in some respect. [26] Learned Queen’s Counsel further submitted that the witness statements of the Plaintiffs and the oral evidence of Xx. Xxxxxx put the duties of both positions into context and outlines how they would have executed their duties on flight services as a junior and currently as senior flight attendants. [27] The Plaintiffs further argued that the notion that the role of senior flight attendants is just a change in status is flawed since, according to the evidence given by Xx. Xxxxxxxxxxx, Bahamasair is unable to fly without a senior flight attendant once the aircraft carries more than 50 passengers. Further, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxxx stated that the position of senior flight attendant is a regulatory requirement for all airlines including Bahamasair. The Plaintiffs further argued that, in light of this evidence, the position of senior flight attendant can be viewed and purports to be a position that one cannot hold if they are not qualified and cannot demonstrate a level of competency in order to make sound judgment decisions for Bahamasair. [28] Undoubtedly, say the Plaintiffs, the responsibilities of junior and senior flight attendants are in fact not ...
