Strict Liability For Sellers Of Used Products: A Conceptual Rationale And Current Status, Karl Boedecker, Fred W. Morgan
Economics, Law, and International Business

The authors analyze the conceptual underpinnings of strict liability to assess its applicability to used goods. Then they examine litigated cases to present an overview of current judicial treatment of defective used products. Finally, they discuss policy issues related to used products in the context of both the law and marketing.
Standard Setting And Economic Consequences: An Ethical Issue, P. Collett
Standard Setting And Economic Consequences: An Ethical Issue, P. Collett
Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers
The Australian Conceptual Framework requirement that standard setters have to take into account the economic consequences of their decisions is examined, particularly in relation to the possibility that qualitative criteria like representational faithfulness might have to be sacrificed in doing so. The claim that the need for such a sacrifice does not arise because representational faithfulness is a notion which cannot be usefully applied to the evaluation of accounting information is analysed and found wanting. Problems associated with requiring standard setters to consider economic consequences are shown to be manageable only after the ethical implications of their task are identified …

All Faculty Scholarship

The reforms were "intended to facilitate shareholder communications and to enhance informed proxy voting, and to reduce the cost of compliance with the proxy rules for all persons engaged in a proxy solicitation.' The SEC explained the amendments by stating that the rules were "impeding shareholder communication and participation in the corporate …

Lawyer Liability In Third Party Situations: The Meaning Of The Kaye Scholar Case, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr.
Lawyer Liability In Third Party Situations: The Meaning Of The Kaye Scholar Case, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr.
All Faculty Scholarship
The Kaye Scholer I case has excited much attention and alarm within the legal profession. 2 It is interpreted as greatly expanding the scope of lawyer liability to third parties and heralding much greater regulatory intervention into the relationship between lawyer and client. In some respects this interpretation is accurate. The Kaye Scholer proceeding is at least a "wake up call" to the legal profession, signalling that lawyers should be much more attentive to their legal and ethical obligations in transactional and regulatory matters. However, there is also much misunderstanding about Kaye Scholer, particularly the supposition that it created novel …
