Study Notes
Functions of the Environment
- The environment performs four vital functions, one of which is supplying resources.
- Resources include both renewable and non-renewable resources.
Types of Resources
- Renewable resources are those that can be used without depletion or exhaustion.
- Renewable resources have a continuous supply available.
Balfour v. Balfour (1919)
- Husband and wife entered into an agreement during a trip to England, where the wife fell ill and was advised to stay for further treatment.
- Husband promised to send £30 every month to support the wife's stay in England, and initially fulfilled this obligation.
- However, due to differences and misunderstandings, the husband stopped sending the money.
- Wife sued to recover the owed amount, but the Court dismissed the case.
- The Court's ruling was based on the fact that the agreement between the husband and wife was not a contract, but rather a moral obligation.
- The parties never intended to create a legal relationship, and therefore the agreement did not create a legal obligation.
- The decision highlights the distinction between agreements that create a legal obligation (contracts) and those that do not intend to create a legal relationship.
