No severe disciplinary punishment was executed.

The 30 years land leased contract indicated that leased for construction the buildings and there was no tea money for the lease. T, the former lessor and the three Defendants did not designate the construction period and the amount of the buildings that the three Defendants is going to build up on the leased land. From the contract, it is cleared that the three Defendants have right to construct the building in any quantity and at any time during the leased period. And in setting the new agreement on constructing period.
The plaintiff claims for compensation in cause of action on tort. The defendant argued that the plaintiff’s lawful father made a contract of compromise regarding damages so there is no current right to claim the compensation of the plaintiff. The Court judged that the legal representative of the Plaintiff made the contract of compromise relating to the property of the minor without Court consent which is a void act. The right to claim has therefore not expired.

Thai and Vietnamese Agreement in Rice Trade
29 June 2009
Thailand and Vietnam signed an agreement last week to strengthen their position as a major rice exporter on the world scene.
The MOU between the Thai Rice Exporters Association and Vietnam Food Association focused on devising sale agreements which would provide for more equitable conditions for rice exporters.
At present, importers have more weight in sales agreements compared to exporters, and some importers demand a rice surplus of 5 to 10 percent of the rice delivery volume but may decide not to take this surplus amount if market conditions change, leaving exporters at a disadvantage. |
