The Mthethwa Paramountcy , sometimes referred to as the Mthethwa Empire , was a Southern African state that arose in the 18th century south of Delagoa Bay and inland in eastern southern Africa. It consisted of more than 30 Nguni people Nguni tribes, and perhaps others. Unlike its successor, the Zulu Kingdom, the Mthethwa Paramountcy was a confederation of like tribes and clans. ref Morris, page 42 ref After Shaka Zulu became king, he forged a nearly homogeneous nation with a single king nkosi . The Mthethwa Paramountcy was consolidated and extended under the rule of Dingiswayo . The chief entered into an alliance with the Tsonga people Tsonga to the north in the early 19th century and began trading with the Portugal Portuguese in Mozambique . About 1811, the Buthelezi and the other Zulu tribes, including that led by Senzangakona , were integrated into a sort of confederacy with the Mthethwa clan predominating. Dingiswayo was killed in a battle with the Ndwandwe in 1817. The Mthethwa Paramountcy was superseded by the Zulu Kingdom under Shaka , a former lieutenant in the Mthethwa army.

McCutcheon , 1982 2 S.C.R. 161 is a leading constitutional decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the resolution of overlapping federal and provincial laws under the doctrine of double aspect . Background A company incorporated under the federal Canada Corporations Act was charged with insider trading under the Ontario Securities Act . In its defence, the company argued that the provisions of the provincial securities Act were inoperative under the paramountcy Canada paramountcy doctrine as it overlapped with insider trading provisions in the federal Competition Act . The issues before the Supreme Court were whether ss. 100.4 and 100.5 of the Canada Corporations Act are ultra vires Parliament whether ss. 113 and 114 of The Securities Act are ultra vires the Ontario Legistature, and if both are intra vires, whether ss. 113 and 114 of the Ontario Act are suspended and inoperative by reason of the doctrine of paramountcy. Reasons of the court Brian Dickson Justice Dickson wrote for the majority and held that the Acts were valid and the doctrine of paramountcy did not apply.

The States Department , later States Ministry , was a department of the Government of India headed by the Minister of States. Its responsibility was to deal with the princely states and manage their relationship with independent India . The department was formed in May 1947 to replace the Political Department of the British Government, which had administered relations between the British Crown and British India on the one side and the princely states on the other. The Political Department had exercised its power on the basis of paramountcy . Since the British did not intend the government of India to acquire paramountcy, Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma Lord Mountbatten of Burma , the last viceroy of India, proposed that a department that would replace the Political Department avoid that name, and instead call itself the States Department. Vallabhbhai Patel , who was to be the first home minister of India, was also made Minister of States. V.P. Menon was appointed the administrative head of the department. The States Department had principal responsibility for bringing about the political integration of India by securing the accession of the princely states to India. Subsequently, it supervised the conduct of their affairs, their democratisation, and their administrative integration into India.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The Ndwandwe clan are a subgroup of the Nguni people who populate sections of Southern Africa. The Ndwandwe, with the Mtetwa Empire Mthethwa , were a significant power in present day Zulu Kingdom Zululand at the turn of the nineteenth century. Under the leadership of King Zwide , the Ndwandwe nation destroyed the Mthethwa under their king Dingiswayo , and the power vacuum was filled by Shaka and his then small Zulu people Zulu tribe. In a common front against the Ndwandwe, Shaka collected the remains of the Mthethwa and other regional tribes, and survived the first encounter of the Zulu Civil War with Zwide at the Battle of Gqokli Hill in 1818. In 1819, Zwide made another expedition against the Zulus, but Shaka again changed his tactics, letting the Ndwandwe army penetrate his territory and responding with guerrilla warfare. Shortage of supplies caused the Ndandwe to return home, but when they were crossing the river Mhlatuze in early 1820, their forces were split and defeated at the Battle of Mhlatuze River . This led to the disintegration of the Ndwandwe nation as Zwide s generals and sons led sections of the Ndwandwe northwards. One such group, under Soshangane , formed the Gaza Empire in present day central Mozambique while another, under Zwangendaba , established rule as the waNgoni in present day Malawi . Others established themselves as chiefs of note in Swaziland and Zambia to create a Ndwandwe legacy of enduring power that is scattered across Southern Africa. They speak an Nguni dialect and their nations official languages are English language English in Zambia and Zimbabwe , and Portuguese language Portuguese in Mozambique .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Image YYZ Aerial.jpg thumb right GTAA v. Mississauga held that interjurisdictional immunity protected Toronto Pearson International Airport from municipal development fees, due to federal jurisdiction over aeronautics . In Canadian Constitutional law , interjurisdictional immunity is the legal doctrine that allows a law to be applied to matters outside of the constitutional jurisdiction of its enacting head of power if it can be proved to be an essential aspect of the dominant characteristic of its validly enacted statute. Traditionally, the immunity doctrine was invoked when it was found that legislation sterilized or impaired the other order of government s legislative authority in a given head of power. However, the scope of the doctrine was expanded in Commission du Salaire Minimum v. Bell Telephone Co. of Canada Bell 1 in 1966 when it was determined that a valid law could not apply if it merely affected not impaired a vital part of the other order of government s jurisdictional authority. In response to this more classical approach to settling matters of constitutional law, the necessary degree of infringement was revisited in Canadian Western Bank v. Alberta in 2007, where the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that, in the absence of outright impairment of the vital or essential part , Interjurisdictional Immunity would not apply. Additionally, though the doctrine was textually justified in the Canadian Western Bank ruling, the court also expressed a preference for relying on the doctrine of Federal Paramountcy over Interjurisdictional Immunity when attempting to resolve federalism disputes after the impugned legislation had been found valid . Though there remains some debate, it has generally been accepted that the doctrine applies to both the federal and provincial governments equally. Nevertheless, virtually all of the case law concerns situations where provincial laws encroach on federal matters. Constitution of Ca ... more details
Paramount derived from the Anglo Norman language Anglo French word paramont , which means up above , or par a mont , meaning up or on top of the mountain , is the highest authority, or that being of the greatest importance. The word was first used as a term of feudal law , of the lord , the lord paramount , who held his fief from no superior lord, and was thus opposed to mesne lord , one who held from a superior. To those who held their fiefs from one who was not a lord paramount was given the correlative term paravail , from par d val , meaning in the valley . The word was confused by English lawyers with avail, help, assistance, profit, and applied to the actual working tenant of the land, the lowest leasehold estate tenant or occupier. ref cite web title An historical introduction to the land law page 105 to 107 author Sir William Searle work Google Books Preview url http books.google.co.uk books?id NscKQr aqNIC&pg PA105&lpg PA105&dq mesne lord&source bl&ots hgjzUJlaII&sig kcA1p8sAx4037Hn5imxTY5RCg1A&hl en&ei tKxMTMPuLJKy0gSYoOmECw&sa X&oi book result&ct result&resnum 1&ved 0CBQQ6AEwADgK v snippet&q subinfeudation&f false ref A well documented example of paramountcy is the Lordship of Bowland .
