B. & F. above no regard was paid to the welfare of the infants which was irrelevant to the particular issue with which the court was concerned—namely whether children were "children of the family". But the effect was to deprive the husband of access and it seems clear that whether or not he was the father, access could have been awarded to him in an application other than under s. 34 of the 1965 Act if the welfare of the children so demanded: [1969] Cam.

The main difference between those members of the Court who constitute the majority is that, subject to the operation of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth), neither of us nor Brennan J. agrees with the conclusion to be drawn from the judgments of Deane, Toohey and Gaudron JJ. that, at least in the absence of clear and unambiguous statutory provision to the contrary, extinguishment of native title by the Crown by inconsistent grant is wrongful and gives rise to a claim for compensatory damages. https://web.archive.org/web/20210228192605/http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/HCA/1992/23.html 28 February 2021 en Britain road transport en junction. en The Highways Agency plan to close J10 of the M5 to refurbish the motorway bridge. en card games en jack. en basketball en jump shot. en Mike Gantner Durant a big admirer of DeRozan and his work ethic https://torontosun.com/2017/02/17/durant-a-big-admirer-of-derozan-and-his-work-ethic/wcm/72452313-f2c8-4777-a106-dc3c847647b2 Toronto Sun 18 February 2017 And Durant had a front seat for just how much work DeRozan was putting in during their time together in Rio. "I watched him man," Durant said. "His footwork in the post is flawless. His jump shot in the mid-range is incredible. That is the type of stuff I look at as a basketball guy, his footwork, his mechanics on his J, his handle. At first he was a dunker and he barely dunks now.

It is found in loanwords, including Latinisms, where it is a variant of the letter it I. Until the early 20th century, however, it was common (though surely not obligatory) to replace it I with it J when it had the sound /j/ and was both preceded and followed by a vowel; thus it cuoiaio was also written it cuojajo.
