Anonymous Bank Accounts: Narco-Dollars, Fiscal Fraud, And Lawyers, William W. Park
Anonymous Bank Accounts: Narco-Dollars, Fiscal Fraud, And Lawyers, William W. Park
Faculty Scholarship
This Article will focus on how lawyers in countries with a tradition of bank secrecy have played a part in maintaining their clients’ anonymity vis-a-vis bankers. For comparative purposes ` the Article will also comment on the banker’s interest in knowing his or her customer’s identity in a tax context, particularly when the customer claims the benefits of income tax treaties. My modest purpose is to help us all to be more aware of the divergent ethical implications of bank account anonymity
The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg
The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg
Faculty Scholarship
This article addresses the challenge to transnational financial services resulting from national regulation of information processing. National laws around the world seek to define fair information practices for the private sector and contain prohibitions on data transfers to foreign destinations that lack sufficient privacy protection. The effect of these laws for the financial services industry is significant because financial services depend on personal information. The article argues that the international attempts to harmonize information practice standards and the national efforts to regulate information processing encourage divergence of national standards for financial services. It argues that regulatory flexibility and customization is …

Bondholder Coercion: The Problem Of Constrained Choice In Debt Tender Offers And Recapitalizations, John C. Coffee Jr., William A. Klein

The past decade saw the flourishing of risky, high-yield corporate debt, often called "junk" bonds. Too many companies took on too much debt, and the chickens are now coming home to roost as these bonds have begun to default with increasing frequency.The magnitude of the problem is potentially enormous; by one estimate, $318 billion of debt has either defaulted already or trades at yields indicating the market's skepticism that it will be repaid on maturity.
Facing the prospect of default, corporate issuers are seeking to restructure or recapitalize their financial structures at a correspondingly increased pace. The market force driving …

The Regulation Of Foreign Banks In Canada: Milelli Marks A Decade Of Ambiguity, Gillian Lester
The Regulation Of Foreign Banks In Canada: Milelli Marks A Decade Of Ambiguity, Gillian Lester
Faculty Scholarship
The recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal in R. v. Milelli culminates a decade of ambiguity in the laws regulating foreign banks in Canada. The case deals with the interpretation of s. 302(1)(a) of the Bank Act, which prohibits foreign banks from undertaking "any banking business" in Canada. The provisions are cryptic and contain no definition of the term "banking business". This has left foreign banks at the caprice of the statute. They are uncertain about the extent to which they are permitted either to deal with Canadian customers directly, or to participate in co-operative transactions (such as …

Liquidity Versus Control: The Institutional Investor As Corporate Monitor, John C. Coffee Jr.
Liquidity Versus Control: The Institutional Investor As Corporate Monitor, John C. Coffee Jr.
Faculty Scholarship
Within academia, paradigm shifts occur regularly, some more important than others. As the takeover wave of the 1980s ebbs, a significant shift now appears to be in progress in the way the public corporation is understood. Above all, the new thinking emphasizes that political forces shaped the modern corporation. While the old paradigm saw the structure of the corporation as the product of a Darwinian competition in which the most efficient design emerged victorious, this new perspective sees political forces as constraining that evolutionary process and possibly foreclosing the adoption of a superior organizational form. Thus, my colleague Professor Mark …
