Delhi: Pay Rs 1.2 lakh to clear outstanding fee, court tells parent as pvt school claims financial situation jeopardised
A Delhi court recently directed a man to pay Rs 1.21 lakh to a private school in the city as the outstanding fee for his child. The Judge was hearing a suit filed by Bluebells International School, which was the defendant for the recovery of the school fee of one of its students. The school had argued that the parent, the plaintiff, was under a legal obligation to make timely and regular payments of the fees. 'Present suit has been filed on October 16, 2024, whereas the cause of action last arose upon the plaintiff on February 7, 2024, when the defendant made the last payment against the outstanding amount,' the court noted in its order dated July 23. 'In view of the foregoing reasons, the present suit is decreed in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendant. The plaintiff is held entitled to recover from the defendant a sum of Rs.1,21,418/- alongwith interest @ 10% per annum from the date of institution of the suit till the realisation of the suit amount,' said Civil Judge Yashu Khurana of Saket Court. It was also argued that the parent had not cleared the dues despite repeated requests and reminders. Stating that its financial situation was being jeopardised, the school also told the court that a legal notice dated May 31, 2024 was issued to the parent. The order comes at a time when the Delhi government has introduced a Bill to regulate fee hikes by private schools in the Assembly amid the ongoing Monsoon Session. The Bill, which has come in the backdrop of protests by parents against arbitrary hikes by private schools, imposes strict penalties on schools that hike fees in an arbitrary manner. Schools will face fines ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh for the first time offences and Rs 2 to 10 lakh for repeat violations. Repeat violations may also lead to a loss of the right to increase fees in the future.

Volvo books $1bn impairment charge due to tariffs, launch delays
Sweden-based Volvo Cars is booking a impairment charge of 11.4bn crowns (R21,418,740,000) in the second quarter related to its ES90 and upcoming EX90 models, due to tariffs and launch delays, it said on Monday. The group, controlled by China's Geely Holding, said it is unable to profitably sell its Volvo ES90, which is built in China, in the US due to import tariffs, while profit margins for the same model are under pressure in Europe for the same reason. "The charge primarily reflects adjustments in expected volumes and planned lifecycle profitability associated with the platform for the EX90 and ES90 cars," it said. The impairment charge also reflects significant launch delays in the past and subsequent additional development costs, it said. Out of the total amount, 4.0bn crowns (R7,433,900,000) is estimated to impact cost of sales and most of the remaining amount affects the R&D line in the financial reporting. Volvo Cars, due to publish second-quarter results on July 17, said the effect on net income in the period will be 9.0bn crowns (R16,712,982,000).

Massive warning for train commuters
Sydney commuters are set for more headaches with industrial action expected to continue causing transport chaos across the city. Ongoing negotiations between the rail union and the NSW state government appear no closer to being resolved with more mass delays expected for commuters this week if the NSW Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RBTU) decides to strike again. The long-running pay dispute escalated on Friday leaving many commuters stranded, with more than 800 cancelled services. But (RBTU) state secretary Toby Warnes said the train network could be thrown into chaos again unless the 'lockout' notices issued by the government are rescinded. 'This is going to come as cold comfort to commuters, but we don't know [if] these 5000 lockout notices [will] stay in place,' Warnes told the Today Show on Sunday. 'The nature of these lockout notices say that if you do come to work and you are found to be going slow, which is our original ban, you will lose an entire day's pay. 'So our members are in a really hard position at the moment, choosing between potentially working for free for a day or not coming to work at all. 'It could be the same situation as Friday or it could be fine as we've seen over the weekend — so it's very unpredictable.' The Fair Work Commission is expected to hand down its decision on whether it will uphold the state government's 418 application around 1.30pm on Sunday. The application is an order to stop or prevent unprotected industrial action. 'The government is spending millions and millions of dollars trying to fight members,' Warnes said on Facebook. ' Stay united, stay strong … we are going to get a good deal out of this. 'We are going to get a good deal out of this and we'll be back shortly tomorrow to ensure that you're updated every step of the way.' Many rail lines faced delays on Sunday due to 'trackwork', 'changed timetables' and 'driver shortages', Transport for NSW said. Commuters are urged to check the Transport for NSW website for updates and plan ahead.
