which has been assigned some of the duties and responsibilities to perform any of the work so
that goals can be accomplished. The main organs of government are Executive, Judiciary and
Legislature. In context of Executive body, it is related with the management of day to day affairs
so that work can be managed easily. This particular body is managed by MPs as well as different
authorized body of a government (Jones, 2018). It is among that respective organ which has the
right to give suggestion to legislature regarding the law which can be easily introduced for the
welfare of human society and others. On the other side, Judicial Body is among equally

the case where there has been a breach of law. In any of the circumstances, the judicial body has

2017). This organ of government has the role to overview the civil as well as criminal case and
sort them out in best possible manner. Even they have the responsibility to sort of the case in
short duration so that list of pending case can be reduced as much as possible. Some of the
famous cases where judicial body has given its judgement are like Lennard's Carrying Co Ltd v
Asiatic Petroleum Co Ltd 1915, Adam v Ward, 1917 and many more. The last and important

organ of government is Legislature. This is the body which has been given the power to form
the laws and regulation so that all of the work can be performed in a systematic manner
(Arrowsmith, 2018). This particular body has to take final approval as per Royal Assent Act
1961. Any of the law which has been commenced must be with the accordance must as per the

form of relief, with reference to relevant case law and legislation.
Law has been commenced so that any of the person don’t get suffered and even chances
of attaining the goals can be achieved. There is certain power which has been given to court in
order to resolve the case in best possible manner. One of the law which has been commenced is
Contract law where government has to perform the specific role and give their judgement so that
target can be accomplished. As per contract law, parties has to enter into the contract and
according to that they are required conduct their part of contract. Here, any of the party don’t
have the right to breach the terms and condition because it may create legal issues as well. The
relief which court has to provide is by declaring its judgement on the case. Government can
either bound the party to perform their part of work, within the specific time limit. This types of
situation mainly occurs in the case where subject matter is unique in itself. Or else they pass the
order of giving remedies to the innocent party. One of the famous case which is related with
specific performance is Ryan v Mutual Tontine Westminster Chambers [1893] 1 Ch 116,
where court decided that work must be performed because remedies might not fulfill the
situation of the case (Barnett, 2017).
Discuss the differences between a general partnership and a company with reference, in
particular, to separate legal personality and limited liability.
It is crucial to understand that Company and Partnership, both are the form of business
entity which is being performed for the purpose of attaining the goals within the specific time
period. In order to understand the concept of it, it has been further discussed below in detail.

General Partnership is form of business organisation which has been established for the
purpose of providing benefit to small investor is known as general partnership. In any of the
situation, the liability of the partners will not be limited in it and losses can be easily recovered
from them. For paying of the losses, partners might have to bring their personal assets as well.

compared to other form of business. Any of the partnership firm can have only members up to
20.
Company is form of entity which has been established as per the requirement of
Company law is knows as Company. In this form of business, the members who has been
involved in the business will have the limited liability. i.e., equals to the amount of investment
(Blanco and et. al., 2016). There will not be any of the requirement of for investor to give
additional amount of money to pay of the debts of an organisation. Detail procedure is required
to be followed in it which will incur higher charges. No such limit is available for this types of
organisation as any of the person can become the part of company by purchasing the share
through London Stock Exchange

In any of the organisation, the relation of employer and employee plays the crucial role in
obtaining the specific goals. This relation is mainly maintained with the help of Employment law
where guides are mentioned for both employer and employee which they must have to consider.
Some of the important guidelines of employment law is regarding the duties and responsibility of
employee and how they are required to work within the premises of an organisation. In any of
the condition they must not breach the law (Freeman, 2016). In context of employer, they are the
one who has to understand that they will have to pay equal amount of wages to employee
working on the same post. Secondly discrimination should not be done with them and finally
without having any of the valid point they must not terminate their employees.
It is necessary to understand that there are some of the ethical ways and procedure
through which any of the employees can be terminated from the organisation. Whenever any of
the statutory requirement is there then employee can be terminated. Order passed by the judges
can help to remove the employees. Whenever any of the employee didn’t perform the work as
per the requirement of organisation. Sometimes even after providing training, employees are

unable to perform their part of work then they can be terminated from the company ethical. Even
employee can be terminated ethical with the help of retirement policies as well. The case where
employee has been terminated from the organisation is between Denco v Joinson Ltd 1991. It is
because Mr. Denco tries to access the personal information of the organisation without obtaining
the permission (Denco Ltd -v- Joinson. 1991).
