The Disappearance Of The Ultra Vires Doctrine In Greater China: Harmonized Legislative Action Or (Simply) An Accident Of History, Lutz-Christian Wolff
The Disappearance Of The Ultra Vires Doctrine In Greater China: Harmonized Legislative Action Or (Simply) An Accident Of History, Lutz-Christian Wolff
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
In the context of company law, the term "ultra vires" is normally used to describe acts that are beyond the scope of the powers of a corporation. Rules concerning ultra vires acts of companies have changed in recent years in mainland China, Taiwan and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong"). It appears that in all of these parts of Greater China, the legal frameworks are now rather similar to each other and seem to resemble the rules that are applied in the Macau Special Administrative Region ("Macau"). This, of course, provokes questions: what are the reasons for these …

Judicial Activism At The World Trade Organizational: Development Principles Of Self-Restraint, J. Patrick Kelly
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
In a number of recent decisions the AB has begun to grapple in a non-systematic way with both the incorporation and creative interpretation issues.14 These decisions raise serious concerns that the AB is exceeding its authority under the DSU and inappropriately incorporating non-WTO law or interpreting WTO agreements in a manner that diminishes the rights of members. This article explores both the incorporation and creative interpretation questions by assessing the relative merits of three different models of how social regulatory policy might be integrated into WTO decision-making: the Judicial Activist Model, the Contract Model, and the Legislative Model.
European Community Law And The Doctrine Of Legitimate Expectations: How Legitimate, And For Whom, Eleanor Sharpston
European Community Law And The Doctrine Of Legitimate Expectations: How Legitimate, And For Whom, Eleanor Sharpston
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article aims to provide a fairly succinct, practical analysis of the way in which the Court of Justice of the European Communities (the "supreme court" for all questions of interpretation arising under the EEC, ECSC and Euratom Treaties) has developed one particular fundamental principle of Community law, the doctrine of "legitimate expectations". The emphasis throughout is not only on the exact legal formulation of the doctrine, but also on whether or not the doctrine can be said to match up to expectations that, economically, might be regarded as "legitimate". Before embarking on the substance, it may be useful to …
The Evolving Doctrine Of Implication: The Export Administration Act And Private Rights Of Action, Lauren B. Bonfield
The Evolving Doctrine Of Implication: The Export Administration Act And Private Rights Of Action, Lauren B. Bonfield
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Two recent United States District Court opinions examine the question of when a federal court may invoke the "implication" doctrine which permits them "to create a private right of action from a federal statute that does not expressly provide for [a] private remed[y]. . . ." Both of the cases raise the issue of implication as it applies to the antiboycott provision of the Export Administration Act (EAA). Plaintiffs in both Bulk Oil (Zug) A.G. v. Sun Co., and Abrams v. Baylor College of Medicine, claimed an implied private right to bring an action for damages and in addition, alleged …

Are Human Rights Good For International Business , Anthony D'Amato
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
When I take up the Nuremberg cases in my class in International Law, I find it quite difficult to convey to the students how radical those proceedings appeared to be in 1947. At that time, the contention that there should be individual accountability under international law seemed to constitute an unfounded and dangerous precedent. How could political leaders be made personally responsible for acts of state such as instituting a war (even an "aggressive" war) or engaging in wholly internal policies (the "final solution" against Jews and other minorities of their own citizens)? Indeed, the Nuremberg result seemed somewhat unprincipled …
