Two firms protested the award of a sole-source Navy contract for aircraft components. The protesters contended that the requirement that the cabinet drawers being procured be interchangeable was unreasonable because : in practice the drawers are not moved; they would be damaged if they were moved; and since the Navy was still studying the need for requiring interchangeable drawers for future procurements, the requirement was contradictory... The record supported the need for interchangeable drawers because they are moved in practice, and it would clearly be easier to move the drawers than an entire cabinet.

CONT

Reasonable expectation of privacy-Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court of Canada has defined as a "search" any state action that engages a reasonable expectation of privacy. The concept of a "reasonable expectation of privacy" is therefore employed to determine whether, as a threshold matter, the protections of Section 8 are engaged. The degree of this privacy expectation is then used in the balancing exercise to determine whether a law authorizing a search is reasonable – i. e. whether it is justifiable in light of the state's objective, taking into account any safeguards provided for in the law.

Frequently words and ambiguous or capable of being understood in several senses, defamatory in one but not another. What meaning is to be attached to them : that intended by the author? that understood by the addressee? or some tertium quid? The first(intended meaning) was long ago disqualified : one may be liable though innocent of any intention to defame. The second(comprehended meaning) seems most compatible with the purpose of damages being to compensate for actual injury, provided only that to understand the words in a defamatory sense was not unreasonable. In some respects, indeed, this test is important. The words, e. g., must have been published to someone capable of understanding them in a defamatory sense, not in a foreign language he could not comprehend.

The Buy American Act was passed in 1933 by the U. S. Congress, which required the United States government to prefer U. S.-made products in its purchases. Other pieces of Federal legislation extend similar requirement to third-party purchases that utilize Federal funds, such as highway and transit programs. In certain government procurements, the requirement purchase may be waived if purchasing the material domestically would burden the government with an unreasonable cost(the price differential between the domestic product and an identical foreign-sourced product exceeds a certain percentage of the price offered by the foreign supplier), if the product is not available domestically in sufficient quantity or quality, or if doing so is in the public interest. The President has the authority to waive the Buy American Act within the terms of a reciprocal agreement or otherwise in response to the provision of reciprocal treatment to U. S. producers.

Le Buy American Act (en français «loi Achetez américain») est une loi fédérale américaine entrée en vigueur en 1933 dans le cadre de la politique de New Deal de Franklin D. Roosevelt, pendant la Grande Dépression. Elle impose l'achat de biens produits sur le territoire américain pour les achats directs effectués par le gouvernement américain. Certaines dérogations fédérales imposent même une extension de la loi aux tiers qui effectuent des achats pour des projets utilisant des fonds fédéraux tels que les autoroutes ou les programmes de transport. La loi a ainsi pour but d'encourager les promoteurs à acheter des produits américains afin de privilégier l'industrie nationale. Il s'agit donc de mesures protectionnistes.

Bench Method. Whichever hauling equipment or technique you choose, you must get as close as possible to the trunks to be loaded or bring them as close as possible to the trail to facilitate loading. The bench method can enable you, with reasonable effort, to bring the felled trees manually to within a 10-metre radius of the track. This method consists in creating a workbench from the felled trees themselves. It enables you to work with your back straight and to move the trunks without unreasonable effort. The first tree is felled and prepared so as to act as a support for other trees that will be felled on top of it. It must be quite steady, since the impact and weight of felled trees can crush the support and make it less useful.

La méthode de l'établi. Peu importe l'équipement ou la technique de débardage que vous choisissez, vous devez vous rendre le plus près possible des troncs à charger ou les approcher le plus près du sentier pour en faciliter le chargement. La méthode de l'établi peut vous permettre, avec un effort raisonnable, de rapprocher manuellement les troncs abattus dans un rayon de 10 mètres du chemin. Cette méthode consiste à créer un établi de travail à même les arbres abattus. Elle vous permet de travailler le dos droit et de déplacer des troncs sans efforts déraisonnables. Le premier arbre est abattu et préparé de façon à servir de support pour d'autres arbres qui viendront s'abattre dessus. Il doit être assez solide, car l'impact et le poids des arbres abattus peuvent écraser le support et en diminuer l'utilité.

CONT

Some observers have opined that the effective date of the OPBA [Ontario Pension Benefits Act] legislation-or at least some sections-should be deferred until January 1, 1988 because it would be unreasonable to give pension plan sponsors only a few weeks to make the necessary decisions and amendments to their plans.

The evidence quite clearly indicates that members of the board were laymen with no particular expertise to cope with the complicated problems of urban planning and development. It was not wholly unreasonable for the board ultimately to resort to a moratorium which would permit them to utilize the expertise of professional planners for a comprehensive zoning system which would affect the growth and quality of a community for an indefinite period in the future.
