The plaintiff, a resident of State A, was visiting the home of the defendant, who resides in State B. As the plaintiff was leavi

ng the house, she fell through a rotted plank in the front steps and broke her ankle. The plaintiff underwent several surgeries and extensive rehabilitation.

If the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the defendant’s counterclaim for lack of jurisdiction, will the plaintiff succeed?

B. No, because the federal district court may exercise supplemental jurisdiction over counterclaims.

Answer:

Hi! The answer would be option C. Yes, because the defendant’s counterclaim does not meet the amount-in-controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction.

Explanation:

A federal court may assert supplemental jurisdiction over a counterclaim that does not satisfy the jurisdictional amount when the counterclaim is compulsory. However, a permissive counterclaim does not qualify for supplemental jurisdiction and therefore must satisfy the jurisdictional amount and the rule of complete diversity. Here, the defendant's claim that the plaintiff owes her money does not arise out of the same transaction and occurrence as the plaintiff's injuries. Therefore, the defendant's counterclaim is permissive and must meet the amount-in-controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction. Answer choice A is incorrect. Although the parties must maintain complete diversity, a permissive counterclaim must also meet the amount-in-controversy requirement. Answer choice B is incorrect. Although the federal district court may exercise supplemental jurisdiction over counterclaims, a permissive counterclaim needs to meet the requirements for federal subject-matter jurisdiction (either diversity or federal question). Answer choice D is incorrect. While it is true that the defendant's counterclaim is not compulsory, it would be possible for the federal court to assert diversity jurisdiction had the defendant met the amount-in-controversy requirement. Therefore, D is not the best answer choice.

What was the "final solution"?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Adolf Hitler’s plan to mass-exterminate "undesirable" peoples, is the right answer.

During the Second World War, the Final Solution was a plan of Nazis for the genocide of Jews population. The "Final Solution to the Jewish question" was a code for the mass slaughter of all Jews within the reach of the Nazis. This solution was not confined to the European continent.  This policy of voluntary and well-organised genocide beginning across Europe under the occupation of Germany was formed in procedural and geopolitical courses by Nazi influence in January 1942. As a result of this solution, the world witnessed the mass killing of 90 per cent of the total Jews population.

What is the relationship between Kant's principle of universalizability and the principle of humanity? Do the two ever give conf
rusak2 [61]

Answer and Explanation:

Kant's principle of universalizability suggests that we do what we feel should be generalised or in his words universalised. I'm there words for something to be considered morally valid it should be generally satisfactory and not just apply to one person

On the other hand his principle of humanity suggests that we do those things that treat each human being as though he is the end not the means. In other words, we do not consider another human being to be something that could be used to achieve another thing but the sole purpose or end for which anything is done

The above do have contradictory applications since by generalizing a thing we could still be using a human being and not making him the end in this respect. I believe the best of the two principles however is the humanity principle since by holding this principle dear every human being would treat each other better and the universalizability principle would still apply.
