In addition the act only limits damages paid in this situation, it does not eliminate them.

The deliberations of the Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit in 2008 were much the same. Except that the court reversed the ruling on Qualcomm's enforceability, since it claimed the gross misconduct of Qualcomm was contrary to competition and the public interest.

Reconstruction was hindered by the fact that no party could be held responsible, and thus it was impossible to determine whether the victims should be paid indemnities from the insurance companies or the government. It was not until 29 March 1993 that nearby residents received word that they would be paid damages. The insurance companies of the factory repaid a million guilders to the injured parties and the factory itself paid another 300,000 from its own assets to cover all damage. Meanwhile, the municipalities of Culemborg and Vianen demanded another 700,000 guilders in compensation, primarily for the removal of asbestos pollution in the environment.

As a result, MigrationWatch and Andrew Green threatened to take libel action against Bercow. After she instructed the lawyer David Allen Green to defend the threatened action, MigrationWatch dropped its threat.

Although the Helms-Burton Act went into effect in 1996, enactment of Title III was postponed until April 2019.

When Frankfurt was besieged during the interregnum in 1552, a garrison with cannon was stationed in the cemetery, and an attempt was even made to force the Jews to sink the tombstones and to level the ground; but against this they protested successfully (July 15, 1552). During the Fettmilch riots the whole community spent the night of September 1, 1614, in the cemetery, prepared for death, and thought themselves fortunate when they were permitted to leave the city through the Fischerfeld gate on the following afternoon.

Smaller religious organizations, such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Evangelical Church, Bektashi Community (Tetovo), and Orthodox Archbishop of Ohrid have stated the government does not treat them as equals of the five religious organizations recognized in the constitution. For example, they stated the government excluded them from official events, such as official holiday celebration events or government building ground-breaking ceremonies, and did not grant them the same level of access to government officials. The OAO and the Bektashi said that, as unregistered communities, they often faced discrimination and intimidation. Following European Court of Human Rights decisions in 2017 and 2018 that condemned the Macedonian government's refusal to register the Orthodox Archbishopric of Ohrid and the Bektashi community respectively, the government paid damages to both groups but took no further action as of the end of 2019.

Low became the Assistant Secretary-General following the election; during his tenure, Low was praised by the parliament on his assertiveness, good analytical ability and his willingness to be constructive rather than oppose for the sake of opposing. A by-election in the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency in 1992 was expected to mark the return of Jeyaretnam to electoral politics after his Parliamentary ban had expired; however, the team ultimately did not participate due to one of the candidates turned up late on the nomination day.

The Province of New York (1664–1775) was an English and later British crown territory that originally included all of the present U.S. states of New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Vermont, along with inland portions of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine, as well as eastern Pennsylvania. The majority of this land was soon reassigned by the Crown, leaving the territory now known as New York State. In the case of Vermont, however, grants issued by Benning Wentworth, provincial governor of New Hampshire, between 1749 and 1764 resulted in bitter strife between the yeomen of the New Hampshire Grants, who held their land in fee simple, and the New York manorial class, who, claiming a prior royal grant to the Duke of York, were issued new patents to overlay the New Hampshire Grants, forcing the New Hampshire settlers to pay a large fee to New York or face eviction. In 1777 Vermont declared its independence as a sovereign body in an attempt to rid itself of New York jurisdiction but the conflict continued until Congress admitted Vermont to the Union in 1791, whereupon the new State of Vermont willingly paid damages to New York State for lands confiscated during the Grants rebellion.
