This study represents a longitudinal in-depth investigation of entrepreneurial opportunity development in a Finnish start-up company. A qualitative interpretive case study method is applied here that enables us to provide in-depth findings to promote opportunity-related research in the fields of entrepreneurship and International Entrepreneurship. We create an empirical process model that unlocks the longitudinal development of entrepreneurial opportunity and internal and external features contributing to it. The findings indicate that the development process represents a transformation from the assessment of demand into the creation of actual solutions. In addition, the process model reveals how the objectives and motivations of individuals, as well as external features in the industry and events, drive the development of entrepreneurial opportunity.

This chapter considers the range of disposals available where a young offender admits the offence(s) or a finding of guilt is recorded against him. It discusses the principles which guide the sentencing of youths; the youth court’s sentencing powers; the adult magistrates’ court sentencing powers; the Crown Court’s sentencing powers; and sentencing a ‘dangerous’ young offender.

This chapter considers the nature of corroborative evidence; the situations where corroborative evidence is required as a matter of law; the situations where a corroboration warning might be given as a matter of judicial discretion; and the application of the ‘Turnbull guidelines’ in cases where eye-witness identification is disputed. It also explains the rules relating to opinion evidence and to expert opinion evidence in particular.
