orphan date October 2008 In the United Kingdom Statutory Undertakers are the various companies and agencies with legal rights to carry out certain development and highways works. Generally speaking they are utilities and telecoms companies or nationalised companies such as Network Rail . Those relating to transport that have a duty through enactment to railways, canals and roads are defined under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 S98.6 . As recognition of their special status, statutory undertakers are granted several privileges regarding development and highways access. They are often exempt from planning permission for small works through the Town and Country Planning General Permitted Development Order 1995 General Permitted Development Order , 1995, Part 17, class A to J and may also undertake works on public highways under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, Sections 48 106 . Undertakers are only obliged to inform the council of planned road works carried out by them or on their behalf, giving very little notice, often less than 7 days. Before deregulation the number of statutory undertakers was relatively small and made up local and regional, gas, water and electricity boards and national telecoms providers. Since deregulation the number has grown, and in many cities and towns includes a number of cable telecommunications companies, granted licenses by the Department of Trade and Industry.

In the business of insurance , statutory reserves are those liabilities an insurance company is legally required to maintain on its balance sheet with respect to the unmatured obligations i.e., expected future claims of the company. Life insurance In the U.S. life insurance industry, statutory reserves are most commonly computed using the Commissioner s reserve valuation method . or CRVM, the method prescribed by law for computing minimum required reserves. The size of a CRVM reserve is affected by the age and sex of the insured person, how long the policy for which it is computed has been in force, the plan of insurance offered by the policy, the rate of interest used in the calculation, and the mortality table with which the actuarial present value s are computed. The Commissioner s reserve valuation method was itself established by the Standard Valuation Law SVL , which was created by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners NAIC and adopted by the several states shortly after World War II. The first mortality table prescribed by the SVL was the 1941 CSO Commissioner s Standard Ordinary table, ref The 1941 CSO table was prescribed for policies of ordinary life insurance. For policies of industrial life insurance the SVL prescribed use of the 1941 CSI Commissioner s Standard Industrial table. ref at a maximum interest rate of 3 . Subsequent amendments to the Standard Valuation Law have permitted the use of more modern mortality tables and higher rates of interest. The effect of these changes has in general been to reduce the amount of the reserves which life insurance companies are legally required to hold.

Judicial remedies Statutory damages are a damages damage award in Civil law common law civil law , in which the amount awarded is stipulated within the statute rather than being calculated based on the degree of harm to the plaintiff. Lawmakers will provide for statutory damages for acts in which it is difficult to determine a precise value of the loss suffered by the victim. This could be because calculation of a value is impractical, such as in intellectual property cases where the volume of the infringement cannot be ascertained. It could also be because the nature of the injury is subjective, such as in cases of a violation of a person s rights. The award serves both as deterrence, and as compensation. Amounts can be set on a per incident basis, such as in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act , which gives statutory damages of up to 1,000 for a violation of its provisions. ref cite web title Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 813 a 2 A url http www.ftc.gov bcp edu pubs consumer credit cre27.pdf accessdate June 2, 2010 ref Amounts could also be set per day, as in acts proscribing human rights violations which might specify damages of 1,000 per day. ref cite web url http www.cga.ct.gov 2006 ACT PA 2006PA 00043 R00SB 00153 PA.htm title Public Act No. 06 43 publisher State ..., statutory damages are often calculated as a multiple of the price for the use of the property, if the infringer ...
