Providing For Victim Redress Within The Legislative Scheme For Tackling Foreign Corruption, Joanna Harrington Jan 2020

Providing For Victim Redress Within The Legislative Scheme For Tackling Foreign Corruption, Joanna Harrington

Dalhousie Law Journal

This article examines the prospects for victim redress for the corporate commission of foreign corruption, using Canada as a case study. Such cases are typically addressed by negotiated settlements, with Canada’s new “remediation agreement” regime embracing an intention to provide “reparations for harm done to victims or to the community.” Further work, however, needs to be done on defining who is a victim, with the SNC-Lavalin affair having focussed much attention on employees, pensioners and shareholders, with barely a mention of the overseas victims of the alleged crimes. To this end, the article examines comparable efforts undertaken in England to …

Overlapping Legal Rules In Financial Regulation And The Administrative State, Matthew C. Turk Jan 2020

Overlapping Legal Rules In Financial Regulation And The Administrative State, Matthew C. Turk

Georgia Law Review

Reforms which seek to overhaul the Dodd-Frank Act
have begun to gain support within the Trump
Administration and Congress. The leading proposals go
beyond technical matters and reflect a wholesale
critique: financial regulation has become too
burdensome, too complex, and grants too much
discretion to regulators. This Article argues that what is
really at stake in these debates is the distinct issue of
“regulatory overlap”—the joint use of multiple legal
rules to address a common market failure. It begins by
developing a general framework for analyzing
overlapping legal rules of all kinds. That framework is
then applied in case studies …

Employees As Regulators: The New Private Ordering In High Technology Companies, Jennifer S. Fan Jan 2020

Employees As Regulators: The New Private Ordering In High Technology Companies, Jennifer S. Fan

Utah Law Review

There is mounting public concern over the influence that high technology companies have in our society. In the past, these companies were lauded for their innovations, but now as one scandal after another has plagued them, from being a conduit in influencing elections (think Cambridge Analytica) to the development of weaponized artificial intelligence, to their own moment of reckoning with the #MeToo movement, these same companies are under scrutiny. Leaders in high technology companies created their own sets of norms through private ordering. Their work was largely unfettered by regulators, with the exception of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s oversight …


Cryptocorporations: A Proposal For Legitimizing Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, Timothy Nielsen Jan 2020

Cryptocorporations: A Proposal For Legitimizing Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, Timothy Nielsen

Utah Law Review

A DAO does not fit well within the current landscape of recognized organizational structures and, rather than shoehorning it into one, states should recognize a new hybrid entity. This Note’s proposed Cryptocorporation form, with rules and protections better suited to the unique qualities of a DAO, could allow for the most appropriate tax treatment of shared profits, limit personal liability, and allow for an appropriate voting structure as articulated in the White Paper. The proposed Cryptocorporation would also protect investors and give the SEC more presumptive jurisdiction over the token-based-stock that is issued and represented exclusively through blockchain tokens. Cryptocorporations …

Attorney–Client Privilege In Bad Faith Insurance Claims: The Cedell Presumption And A Necessary National Resolution, Klien Hilliard Jan 2020

Attorney–Client Privilege In Bad Faith Insurance Claims: The Cedell Presumption And A Necessary National Resolution, Klien Hilliard

Seattle University Law Review

Attorney–client privilege is one of the most important aspects of our legal system. It is one of the oldest privileges in American law and is codified both at the national and state level. Applying to both individual persons and corporations, this expanded privilege covers a wide breadth of clients. However, this broad privilege can sometimes become blurred in relationships between the corporation and the individuals it serves. Specifically, insurance companies and those they cover have complex relationships, as the insurer possesses a quasi-fiduciary relationship in relation to the insured. This type of relationship requires that the insurer act in good …
