Resolving Incompatibilities Of Bilateral Investment Treaties Of The Eu Member States With The Ec Treaty: Individual And Collective Options, Ahmad Ali Ghouri

Ahmad Ali Ghouri

Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) concluded by the EU Member States contain substantially similar clauses, including free movement of capital and investor-to-state dispute resolution. Article 307 EC provides for the primacy of pre-accession treaties over the EC Treaty and simultaneously requires the Member States to eliminate their mutual incompatibilities. The European Court of Justice has declared that free movement of capital clauses of Austrian and Swedish pre-accession extra-EU BITs are incompatible with the EC Treaty as they will impede any restrictions on the movement of capital imposed as future Community legislation. A similar ‘free movement of capital’ clause is present in …

Redemption And Resistance: Lessons In Non-Violent Action From Early Aotearoa/New Zealand, Ian Macduff

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article provides a brief account of the non-violent resistance of two Maori chiefs, Te Whiti and Tohu, in 19th century New Zealand. Each example of such non-violent or passive resistance is unique to its historical and cultural context; but at the same time there is a tangible common ground between this example and those found elsewhere, such as Martin Luther King and Gandhi. This article will also draw a link between the politics of acts of resistance – in this case, resistance to the forceful acquisition of Maori land – and faith-based justifications. In conclusion, it will be suggested …

Private Transfer Fee Covenants: Cleaning Up The Mess, R. Wilson Freyermuth

Faculty Publications

The purposes for creating a "private transfer fee" covenant range from supporting community services to creating a future revenue stream for the developer. Traditionally, courts examined these covenants using the touch and concern standard. The Restatement (Third) of Property: Servitudes, however, rejects this standard. This Article discusses this new approach as it relates to private transfer fees. The author argues that private transfer fee covenants are contrary to public policy and encourages states to enact legislation limiting the enforcement of these covenants.

Helping Good Lawyers Help Clients Make Good Decisions About Dispute Resolution, John M. Lande

Faculty Publications

Counseling clients about dispute resolution options is easier said than done. These can be complex and difficult decisions, and lawyers may not have appropriate resources to help lawyers counsel clients in choosing dispute resolution options. While establishing rules requiring this kind of training may help to remedy this shortcoming, perhaps the most promising involves using dispute systems design (DSD) procedures to establish better ways of training lawyers to counsel clients.

Four Mediation Stories From Across The Globe, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In the past 30 years mediation has emerged as a significant dispute resolution narrative around the world. It contains many stories told by different story-tellers -- stories about diverse practices, communities and courts, in creasing institutionalisation, regulation, accreditation, standards, research and theoretical developments. Together these stories weave a tapestry of our social and cultural experience of mediation and define mediation as a narrative, a practice and a profession.

Before You Take A Collaborative Law Case, John M. Lande

Faculty Publications

Under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, lawyers have a duty to screen potential Collaborative Law (CL) cases for appropriateness and obtain clients' informed consent to use CL. The duty to screen cases is based on the "reasonableness" requirement of Rule 1.2(c) and the requirement to avoid conflicts of interest that might interfere with competent and diligent representation under Rule 1.7. Both rules require lawyers to obtain clients' informed consent to participate in a CL process. Although the Uniform Collaborative Law Act is not an ethical rule, sections 14 and 15 create relevant duties, including detailed provisions requiring lawyers to …

Manifest Disregard And The Imperfect Procedural Justice Of Arbitration, Thomas V. Burch

Scholarly Works

Arbitration is an efficient dispute-resolution system that respects parties’ right to an accurate award. But because arbitration is designed to be efficient, accuracy is not guaranteed. This presents a challenge when courts are asked to confirm or vacate arbitrators’ decisions. Judges dislike approving inaccurate awards, especially in cases where parties have unequal bargaining power. Yet, judges also recognize arbitration’s limited-review principle. So they are forced to balance their desire for accuracy against arbitration’s efficiency policy. Efficiency typically wins at the expense of accurate outcomes.

This Article contends that courts place too much emphasis on the efficiency policy in mandatory arbitration. …
