The fundamental change in approach to the law relating to insolvency and reorganisation of defaulting or non performing business entities is aimed at maximising value of assets, promote entrepreneurship, balance the interests of all and revive sick units if possible in a time bound manner.

- [Law and Plain English](https://veritaslegis.com/law-and-plain-english/): Oh! what a tangled web we weave when we lawyers begin to speak! –  Sir Walter Scott would appreciate this modification The language of the law can be and is often so complicated that the ‘common man’ is left grappling to understand its meaning.

- [Why one can’t compare Gandhiji’s Civil Disobedience Movement with the Shaheenbagh Anti CAA protest.](https://veritaslegis.com/why-one-cant-compare-gandhijis-civil-disobedience-movement-with-the-shaheenbagh-anti-caa-protest/): Gandhiji and his followers were protesting against laws passed by a Ruler who was not elected by the people of India; whereas the Anti CAA protest was essentially against the democratically elected Government’s legislation. The disobedience of Gandhiji was a necessity because there was neither political or judicial recourse to challenge the Rowlatt Act; whereas the Shaheenbagh protesters had access to the Constitutional Courts to challenge the CAA legislation. Gandhiji’s Disobedience was not only an absolute necessity for challenging the legislation itself but also an effort to challenge the very legality of British Rule over India and Indians. This meant that […]
