The application is widely used and has raised questions with regard to legal and shariah issues. This paper aims to analyse specifically, legal issues affecting e-wallet practices. This paper adopted a qualitative research approach. The data collected include document reviews, ethnographical interviews and observations. This study found several legal issues related to e-wallet inter alia, an unclear position on the liability of board directors of e-wallet operators, breach of mandate and exclusion of liability of e-wallet operators. As e-wallet is important as an enabler to increase financial inclusion, it is important to address the legal issues on e-wallet to enhance good governance and best practices of e-wallet in Malaysia. The findings from this paper can be used as a basis for policymakers including scholars in the formulation of guidelines on legal and shariah compliance of e-wallets.","PeriodicalId":37075,"journal":{"name":"UUM Journal of Legal Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43626927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Institusi tahanan bukan sahaja berfungsi sebagai tempat menjalani perintah tetapi ia seharusnya berfungsi sebagai medium pemulihan bagi kanak- kanak yang berkonflik dengan undang-undang. Walaupun kanak- kanak tersebut telah dilucutkan hak kebebasannya atas pelanggaran undang-undang, mereka tidak seharusnya dinafikan hak-hak asasi manusia yang diperuntukkan dalam instrumen-instrumen hak asasi antarabangsa. Oleh itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hak kanak-kanak dalam institusi tahanan yang dijamin dalam instrumen antarabangsa dan peruntukan undang-undang di Malaysia. Kajian ini mendapati masih wujud kelompongan peruntukan undang-undang mengenai hak kanak-kanak dalam institusi tahanan yang mungkin boleh membawa kepada pengabaian hak-hak tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menganalisa dokumen berbentuk instrumen antarabangsa yang berkaitan dengan hak kanak kanak di institusi tahanan serta pemakaiannya di Malaysia. Dapatan kajian ini penting bagi memberi panduan kepada pembuat dasar dan penggubal undang-undang Malaysia bagi membuat pembaharuan undang-undang yang menjamin hak kanak-kanak di institusi tahanan.","PeriodicalId":37075,"journal":{"name":"UUM Journal of Legal Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45522225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"HAK MENJALANKAN PERNIAGAAN DAN KAWALAN DALAM PERNIAGAAN FRANCAIS DI MALAYSIA","authors":"N. Yaacob, Nasri Naiimi, Munirah Kasim","doi":"10.32890/UUMJLS2021.12.2.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32890/UUMJLS2021.12.2.15","url":null,"abstract":"Perniagaan francais melibatkan pemberian hak oleh francaisor kepada francaisi untuk menduplikasi keseluruhan sistem perniagaan francaisor dengan bayaran yuran tertentu. Risiko untuk gagal dalam perniagaan adalah rendah memandangkan perniagaan ini sudah terbukti berjaya dan sentiasa dipantau oleh francaisor. Memandangkan francaisi menduplikasi sistem perniagaan francaisor, francaisor mestilah memberikan hak kepada francaisi untuk menjalankan perniagaan termasuk penggunaan harta inteleknya. Francaisor juga berhak mengawal perniagaan bagi menjaga kualiti dan keseragaman produk atau perkhidmatan. Namun, sejauhmanakah kedua-dua hak ini dilaksanakan? Oleh itu, objektif artikel ini ialah untuk membincangkan tentang hak untuk menjalankan perniagaan dan kawalan dalam perniagaan francais di Malaysia disamping membuat sedikit perbincangan dari sudut pandangan Islam. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif menggunakan pendekatan kajian undang- undang yang disokong oleh temubual dengan menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer diperoleh melalui dokumen perundangan iaitu akta, kes dan juga melalui temubual manakala data sekunder diperolehi melalui buku dan jurnal daripada Perpustakaan Sultanah Bahiyah, Universiti Utara Malaysia. Data primer daripada dokumen undang-undang dan data sekunder dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analitikal dan kritikal manakala data primer daripada temubual dianalisis menggunakan kaedah tematik. Kajian ini dapat memberi manfaat sebagai sumber rujukan kepada Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna, Persatuan Francais Malaysia, francaisor, francaisi, peguam, tenaga akademik dan juga pelajar undang-undang secara amnya. Dapatan kajian daripada analisis ke atas dokumen perundangan menunjukkan kedua-dua hak ini dinyatakan dengan jelas di dalam Akta Francais 1998. Malah ia merupakan komponen utama dalam definisi francais di bawah seksyen 4. Dapatan daripada temubual dengan kesemua informan yang terdiri daripada francaisor menunjukkan mereka mematuhi kehendak berkenaan pemberian hak menjalankan perniagaan termasuk penggunaan harta intelek dan juga elemen kawalan ke atas perniagaan francais oleh francaisor. Secara tidak langsung, mereka mematuhi kehendak di bawah Akta Francais 1998. Sebagai kesimpulannya, hak untuk menjalankan perniagaan dan kawalan mesti dimasukkan di dalam perjanjian bagi menjaga kepentingan kedua-dua pihak yang berkontrak.","PeriodicalId":37075,"journal":{"name":"UUM Journal of Legal Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42159865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper adopted a doctrinal and theoretical approach to law. The tension in the corporate rescue mechanisms in the CA 2016 between creditors and other stakeholders of a company affected the objectives on corporate insolvency in Malaysia. This paper identified the theories that are reflected in the corporate rescue mechanisms in the CA 2016– a gap within the provisions which was left out in the process that ranged from consultancy and leading up to the drafting of the CA 2016. In addition, the objectives of introducing the corporate rescue mechanisms were identified. These findings may pave the way to reform the corporate rescue law in order to enhance its conformity with the objectives of corporate rescue in Malaysia. This in turn would facilitate the recovery of financially distressed companies and the minimisation of the loss of employment.","PeriodicalId":37075,"journal":{"name":"UUM Journal of Legal Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42243030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing legal and institutional framework characterised by the piecemeal approach has led different groups of consumers to varying levels of access, which can be superior or inferior to one another. The study employs a doctrinal legal research methodology in analysing the two alternative dispute resolution bodies, namely, the Ombudsman for Financial Services, and the Tribunal for Consumer Claims. Primary sources of law, namely, the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the Financial Services Act 2013, the Financial Services (Financial Ombudsman Scheme) Regulation 2014, the Hire-Purchase Act 1967, the Moneylenders Act 1951, and the Pawnbrokers Act 1972, are meticulously analysed along with secondary sources of law that principally comprise journal articles. The study reveals disparities in terms of access to cheap and simple redress mechanisms by various categories of consumers who are aggrieved by the actions of credit providers. The position of bank consumers and those entering into credit sale is accounted for, as there are particular ADR bodies established under relevant legislations to hear their respective disputes. On the contrary, the position of those who wish to lodge claims against moneylenders, pawnbrokers or credit companies offering hire-purchase is problematic. Several recommendations are proposed to resolve this opacity inter alia by referring to the approach adopted by South Africa. This study is significant in ensuring fair access to inexpensive and hassle-free dispute resolutions for all financial consumers, irrespective of the nature of their consumer credit transactions.","PeriodicalId":37075,"journal":{"name":"UUM Journal of Legal Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47727731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Walau bagaimanapun, pelaksanaan istibdāl turut menjadi perhatian dari beberapa aspek. Kajian sebelum ini mengenai istibdāl adalah menjurus kepada aspek tertentu dan masih banyak ruangan untuk kajian lanjutannya. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini akan memfokuskan tiga objektif utama: Pertama, pemerhatian dari sudut hukum syarak; kedua, amalan pelaksanaan pada peringkat Majlis Agama Islam Negeri-Negeri (MAIN); dan ketiga, kajian dari sudut perbandingan dengan perundangan sivil. Kajian ini dijalankan melalui kaedah kajian kualitatif dan pendekatan kajian pula menggunakan reka bentuk penerokaan terhadap dokumen-dokumen yang berkaitan. Selain kajian perpustakaan yang dilaksanakan, kajian ini juga melibatkan kajian lapangan iaitu melalui temubual dengan beberapa pegawai wakaf daripada Majlis Agama Islam Negeri-Negeri (MAIN). Analisis kajian dilakukan secara kajian dokumen dengan melibatkan teknik analisis induktif, deduktif dan komparatif. Dapatan kajian yang pertama menunjukkan bahawa menurut keempat-empat mazhab, pelaksanaan istibdāl dibolehkan sekiranya tanah wakaf adalah dalam keadaan darurat. Selain itu, mazhab Hanafi turut membenarkan istibdāl jika harta yang diganti mempunyai elemen maslahat. Dapatan kajian yang kedua pula mendapati bahawa 37.5 peratus daripada pihak MAIN melaksanakan istibdāl secara jualan tanah, 37.5 peratus pula tidak melaksanakan dan 25 peratus lagi tidak menggalakkan. Manakala, dapatan kajian yang ketiga merungkaikan bahawa kedudukan istibdāl adalah tidak selari dengan perundangan sivil iaitu Akta Pengambilan Balik Tanah 1960 (Akta 486) Seksyen 3 (1) dan Kanun Tanah Negara 1965 (Akta 56) Seksyen 115 (4) (a). Rumusannya, hasil kajian ini telah mencadangkan beberapa penyelesaian bagi memastikan pelaksanaan istibdāl dilaksanakan dengan lebih efisien di negara ini.","PeriodicalId":37075,"journal":{"name":"UUM Journal of Legal Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47149547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perkaitan antara kuasa prerogatif pengurusan, hak privasi pekerja serta tanggungjawab majikan dan pekerja untuk saling mempercayai dan menyakini dianalisis untuk menilai sejauh mana impak tingkah laku pekerja di media sosial kepada kontrak pekerjaan. Objektif berkenaan dicapai dengan menggunakan metodologi doktrinal dan pendekatan analisa yang kritis dan perbandingan. Hasilnya adalah menemukan aspek-aspek yang boleh dipertimbangkan oleh majikan dan pekerja bagi menguruskan penggunaan media sosial supaya tidak menjejaskan perhubungan pekerjaan.
