One looks at the growing challenge of non-performing loans and why banks need stronger legal support.

The other reflects on the alarming rise of mob lynching and why Bangladesh urgently needs a clear legal framework to address it.

Family court — where adults behave like children, and children pay the price.

In equity, fairness begins with clean hands.
The legal maxim ‘𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬’ means that anyone seeking justice must themselves act justly. Courts won’t grant relief to those guilty of unethical conduct related to their claim.

This classic principle reminds us: to receive fairness, you must practice it first.

Follow for more legal wisdom explained simply—with a twist of humor!"

Lifting the Corporate Veil

Normally, a company is treated as a separate legal person from its owners. But sometimes, courts "lift the corporate veil" to hold individuals personally liable—especially when the company is used to commit fraud or avoid legal responsibilities.

A famous case is Salomon v. Salomon & Co. Ltd (1897), which established the principle of separate legal identity. However, courts have made exceptions. For example, in Gilford Motor Co Ltd v. Horne (1933), the veil was lifted because the company was used to hide a breach of contract.

These exceptions protect justice and prevent the misuse of company status.
