The present study aimed to verify the recognition, measurement and disclosure of Judicial Labor Liabilities complies with the assumptions of accounting literature and natural law when it comes to the concept of fair value. In the methodological context, it was performed the theoretical and legal framework of recognition, measurement and disclosure. Then, among the companies listed in Level 1, Level 2 and New Market of BM&F Bovespa, the 40 companies with the largest number of shares in processing in TST were selected for the sample. The explanatory notes of these companies were analyzed and it was found that the most part of them does not disclose information about the origin of the legal liability, the form of measurement of provisions, the amount of shares and the disbursement schedule. Thus, the practices adopted by such companies are not in full compliance with the conditions of accounting literature and natural law because accounting determinations (CPC 25) have been observed in it less wide way. It was also found that there is an opportunity for improvement in the process of recognition, measurement and disclosure once there are good and punctual practices in the examined companies that could be generalized to the others.

This thesis investigates the problems associated with the development of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). The results of this investigation are used as input for the development of new spatial data policy strategies for individual organisations to enable an improved better facilitation of SDIs. Policy issues that need to be considered by an organisation when developing spatial data policies, were identified as being: SDI requirements; organisational issues; technical issues; Governmental/organisational duties; ownership/custodianship; privacy and confidentiality; legal liability, contracts and licences; Intellectual Property Law; economic analysis; data management; outreach, cooperation and political mandate; and users' choices, rights and obligations. In order to gain an understanding of current spatial data policy practices and to device new policy strategies a spatial data survey was conducted. This survey addressed the identified SDI problem areas. Some 6630 questionnaires were mailed out with more than 400 responses returned. These were reduced to 379 useful responses. Once analysed, the results were compared with the findings of the SDI investigation and used throughout the thesis. The results of the analysis to the spatial data survey are displayed in tables and graphs throughout Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 and in Appendix 2. The tables and graphs show the answers to the questions asked in the questionnaire as a percentage of the total number of respondents. The survey discovered that many organisations had no spatial data policies, nor individual policies on spatial data pricing and/or intellectual property protection. This thesis established that SDI requirements are not being met by many spatial data policies used by individual organisations. Hence, the thesis studied the spatial data policy issues that are involved when an organisation develops new policies with the aim to aid the development of SDIs. It uniquely established current Australian spatial data policy practices in the areas of spatial data quality, access, pricing, and legal issues to form the basis for future strategies. It reviewed the current knowledge of intellectual property law applied to spatial data and devised new approaches to deal with all the identified policy issues. Finally, the thesis defines spatial data policies that facilitate SDI development.
