Revisiting The Sec's Memoranda Of Understanding: A Fresh Look, Eduard H. Cadmus

Fordham International Law Journal

In attempting to understand the effectiveness of the Security and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Memoranda of Understanding ("MOU"), this Note proceeds in three parts.

Part II looks at the U.S. court system's approach to extraterritorial jurisdiction and reviews some representative MOUs. Part III concludes that MOUs are primed for success as an information exchange framework, though an evaluation of their effectiveness should be carried out by the SEC or another body with access to confidential files obtained from foreign regulators.

It is not the intention of this Essay to offer any justification for the practice, but rather to explain the factors specific to the EU which have contributed to its recurrence.

With a broader understanding of the rationale behind bankruptcy laws in combination with the relevant legislative history, this Note sets the stage and advocates for an increased consistency in the analysis and application of the 11 U.S.C. § 522(d)(11)(E) exemption.
