Bondage, Domination, And The Art Of The Deal: An Assessment Of Judicial Strategies In Lender Liability Good Faith Litigation, A. Brooke Overby Jan 1993

Bondage, Domination, And The Art Of The Deal: An Assessment Of Judicial Strategies In Lender Liability Good Faith Litigation, A. Brooke Overby

Fordham Law Review

In the 1980s the contractual obligation of good faith and fair dealing achieved preeminence in the area of lender liability. This raised concerns that expansive judicial interpretation of the obligation would, in effect, rewrite the parties' contracts and result in the imposition of undue economic liability upon lenders. In this Article Professor Overby first traces the statutory, common law, and theoretical attempts to provide transactors with legal standards of conduct through the obligation of good faith. She then examines the judicial approaches to good faith in the lending context, rejecting as unfounded concerns over economic liability or widespread judicial activism. …

Vertical Restraints, Efficiency, And The Real World, Jean Wegman Burns Jan 1993

Vertical Restraints, Efficiency, And The Real World, Jean Wegman Burns

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Burns addresses the rise of economic efficiency in antitrust jurisprudence. She argues that the theory is incomplete in that it fails to address “noneconomic” concerns, such as dealer fairness, intraband competition, and business ethics, which society wishes addressed. Societal concern, she argues, is evidenced by the rise of dealer fairness remedies outside the realm of antitrust law. In addition, she argues that the public regards the economic efficiency theory as out of touch with reality as evidenced by the vocal opposition of sophisticated consumer groups to modern Chicago-School-influenced antitrust jurisprudence. She concludes by voicing support for …
