CUSTODY

These days, the two terms are often used interchangeably. However, there is a difference between the two. Enquiry means to ask a question, and inquiry is a formal investigation. Yet another difference lies in the etymological source of the prefixes 'en' and 'in'. 'En' comes from French, and 'in' from Latin. Inquiry has a formal and official ring to it, while enquiry is informal in its connotation.

In general parlance, it is understood that enquire is to be used for 'asking', while inquire is what constitutes 'making a formal investigation'. In reality though, enquiry is preferred in British English, whereas the Americans are more comfortable with inquiry. As a matter of fact, it is only in British English that any attention is paid to the distinction. In US and Australian English, inquiry has, for all practical purposes, taken over.

Another way of distinguishing between the two terms, is to know the differences between the Enquiry Based System of Education (ECB) and the Inquiry Based System of Education (ICB). At the ECB, the students are encouraged to be naturally inquisitive and curious, and base their queries on their innate desire to learn. In the latter case, the focus is on conforming to the syllabus, and asking questions which assist with that task, while not paying too much attention to attaining pure knowledge.

If you wanted to find a place where you could order your visiting cards, you would make enquiries with your friends or business associates. On the other hand, if a former employer of yours were to withhold your dues, you would get an inquiry instituted against him by the relevant authorities.

In spite of there being a clear distinction in the meanings of the two terms, people, more often than not, use them interchangeably. You could say that enquiry is a request for truth, knowledge or information, whereas an inquiry is an investigation into something.

For the common man, the two are the same, and he could use the two terms for the same thing, without a thought, and be well understood by everyone. People that are more erudite and aware, would perhaps be more careful with their choice of terms, and use the one that is appropriate for the occasion. However, in certain matters, such as an official inquiry ordered by a court of law, you would think twice before replacing inquiry with enquiry.

Summary:

1. Enquiry means asking a question, and inquiry is a formal investigation.

2. The prefix 'en' comes from French, and 'in' from Latin.

3. Enquiry is a request for truth, knowledge or information, whereas an inquiry is an investigation into something.

4. Enquiry is preferred in British English, whereas the Americans are more comfortable with inquiry.

5. In spite of there being a clear distinction in the meanings of the two terms, people often use them interchangeably.

A newspaper article printing an article that contains false information with regards to an individual or organisation would be libellous. For instance, if the article incorrectly stated that a person had a criminal record, or claimed that the person had said something that they had not. Certain tabloid newspapers are notorious for libel, due to not checking their sources sufficiently.

Libel is an incident of defamation in writing, as opposed to slander, which is a spoken defamation.

Judo is a form of Budo, stemming from the earlier Bujutsu.

At that, Judo is a deadly martial art that can be used to harm, kill, or in other ways assault another human being.

It's not just that Judo and Jujutsu are illegal to use on the public, it's that all martial arts are illegal to use on the general public because they are methods of combat which are simply unnecessary at this day in age.

Merely punching someone as an untrained ruffian is an illegal action (assault).

A lot of people seem to believe that if they don't strike another person, it's not assault, however, any unwanted contact between two bodies that causes some degree of physical, mental or emotional stress, qualifies as assault (such as sexual assault, where there are multiple faculties of effect).

Judo and Jujutsu are grappling arts, hence they are meant for detainment before dealing damage, hence why they are so prized as arts in MMA as well as Law-Enforcement/Military work.

But the fact remains that Judo came from an art that was used by the samurai to lock down opponents and either methodically dismantle their bones, or to slash them to ribbons with a small sword or dagger.

Self defense is always a legal excuse to use any form of combat, and you may deal with a little less scrutiny if your methods were some that merely kept your opponent from moving while the authorities arrived, as opposed to bludgeoning him into a coma with your fists.

Anti-loitering is a term used to describe someone who is against loitering altogether.

The facts are straightforward and undisputed. On December 30, 2002, plaintiffs purchased a new motor home manufactured by defendant, which is located in Indiana. From the time that plaintiffs took possession of the motor home, water continuously leaked into it. Plaintiffs took the motor home to the dealer for repair of the leaks on several occasions, but the dealer failed to successfully fix the leaks. Plaintiffs also had several phone conversations with representatives of defendant, including the president of defendant, but again the leaks were not corrected. On December 23, 2003, plaintiffs' attorney mailed a letter to defendant notifying it of the leaks and the failed attempts to correct the leaks. In the letter, plaintiffs asked defendant to replace the vehicle in accordance with ORS 646.335. (1) The letter did not reach defendant until December 29, 2003, and plaintiffs filed their complaint the next day. (2) The trial court entered a judgment in favor of plaintiffs, rejecting defendant's contention that it did not have an opportunity to correct the defect before plaintiffs filed the action.
