Vat Triangulation With A Us Middleman Vstr, C-587/10, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Vat Triangulation With A Us Middleman Vstr, C-587/10, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
It is not every day that an American firm finds itself in the middle of an EU VAT controversy that significantly develops the law. However, the September 27, 2012 decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) does just that. The case is Vogtländische Straβen-,Tief- und Rohrleitungsbau GmbH Rodewisch (VSTR) v. Finanzamt Plauen.
In November 1998 Atlantic International Trading Company (AIT), an American company established in New York, NY, purchased two stone-crushers from VSTR, a firm established in Germany. AIT quickly re-sold the stone-crushers to an end user established in Finland. The VSTR/AIT contract was “ex works,” that is AIT …

The Litigation Finance Contract, Maya Steinitz
The Litigation Finance Contract, Maya Steinitz
William & Mary Law Review
Litigation funding—for-profit, nonrecourse funding of a litigation by a nonparty—is a new and rapidly developing industry. It has been described as one of the “biggest and most influential trends in civil justice” today by RAND, the New York Times, and others. Despite the importance and growth of the industry, there is a complete absence of information about or discussion of litigation finance contracting, even though all the promises and pitfalls of litigation funding stem from the relationships those contracts establish and organize. Further, the literature and case law pertaining to litigation funding have evolved from an analogy between litigation funding …
The Role Of Aspiration In Corporate Fiduciary Duties, Julian Velasco
The Role Of Aspiration In Corporate Fiduciary Duties, Julian Velasco
William & Mary Law Review
Corporate law is characterized by a pervasive divergence between standards of conduct and standards of review. Courts often opine on the relatively demanding standard of conduct, but their judgments must be based on the more forgiving standard of review. Commentators defend this state of affairs by insisting that it provides guidance to directors without imposing ruinous liability. However, the dichotomy can lead many, especially those who focus on the bottom line, to call into question the meaningfulness of standards of conduct. Of particular concern is the increasing popularity, in legal and scholarly circles, of the notion that fiduciary duty standards …

Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel
Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel
Richard A Grisel
This paper argues that game theory provides powerful, effective new tools to analyze externalities that occur in the context of strategic, multi-party, interactive decision-making. I will attempt to treat this as a non-technical paper and avoid the complex mathematics better left to economists and mathematicians. Instead, a more achievable goal is to illustrate how high-seas open-access fishing is virtually identical to a game situation, treat the fundamentals of game theory, and demonstrate that game theoretic analyses are well-suited and fruitful for designing effective policy responses to fisheries management, particularly with respect to the straddling stocks problem. Indeed, one seminal fisheries …

Piercing The Corporate Veil, Financial Responsibility, And The Limits Of Limited Liability, David K. Millon
Piercing The Corporate Veil, Financial Responsibility, And The Limits Of Limited Liability, David K. Millon
David K. Millon
Veil-piercing is the most heavily litigated issue in corporate law, yet legal doctrine in this area is notoriously incoherent. In this article, I argue that the only way to make sense of veil-piercing is through an accurate understanding of the policy underlying limited liability. Once that is appreciated it then becomes possible to make sense of the appropriate limits on limited liability. Piercing the corporate veil can then serve the useful function of distinguishing legitimate from illegitimate reliance on statutory limited liability. After surveying efficiency rationales for limited liability and finding them unpersuasive, I propose that the best way to …

Hedge Funds & Poison Pills: Can Typical Hedge Fund Activism Really Be Considered A Reasonable Threat Under Unocal?, Vincent V. Hilldrup
Vincent V. Hilldrup
At a time when hedge fund returns have been stagnating and failing to meet expectations in the period from 2004-2007, they have also attracted significant amounts of capital as investors have eagerly sought to secure above market returns.1 Pressured to perform in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, hedge funds have turned to shareholder activism as a means of maximizing profits and increasing their returns on investment, seeking to influence corporate policy and, if necessary, hold underperforming managers accountable. With significant amounts of funds available at their disposal, they have the means to pressure management and directly influence corporate …

Play Your Part: Girl Talk's Indefinite Role In The Digital Sampling Saga, Shervin Rezaie
Touro Law Review
In 2006, Greg Gillis was a twenty-four year old leading a double-life. During the day he was a biomedical engineer, but by night he was slowly becoming an infamous mash-up artist. His albums mixed "Top 40" radio hits into a unique postmodern audio pastiche. Under the moniker Girl Talk, Greg made his entrance into the limelight with the release of Night Ripper, his third album. Night Ripper began gaining attention as audiences became intrigued and excited by Greg's ability to blend numerous artists, old and new, into one seamless track. To illustrate, the first track on Night Ripper, "Once Again," …

Social Responsibility In Corporate Investment, Patrick M. Talbot
Social Responsibility In Corporate Investment, Patrick M. Talbot
Patrick M Talbot
ABSTRACT
(Social Responsibility in Corporate Investment)
In our increasingly globalized economy, many transnational and multinational enterprises have sought to take advantage of investment opportunities in foreign nations, often in less developed countries. This can be a good opportunity for both the foreign investor and the host country, if properly managed and directed. In the last several decades, however, corporate investors have fallen under intense scrutiny for social problems they have caused or been directly or indirectly involved in. These have involved reports of abuse of labor, mistreatment of local inhabitants, misappropriation of land and resources, and crimes. Corporate involvement in …

Killing Them With Kindness: Examining "Consumer-Friendly" Arbitration Clauses After At&T Mobility V. Concepcion, Myriam E. Gilles
Articles
The article focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court case AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, in which California's "Discover Bank rule" was struck by the Court under the Federal Arbitration Act, which was upheld by the California Supreme Court in the court case Discover Bank v. Superior Court. It provides information that the rule is a judge-made rule which depicts that class action waivers are unforceable in arbitration agreements if such agreements are mentioned in standard form consumer contracts.

The Case Beyond Time, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
David K. Millon
The Delaware Supreme Court's opinion in Paramount Communications, Inc. v. Time, Inc.' treats several important questions that arise in connection with hostile corporate takeovers. At the same time, it leaves three critical issues unanswered. In this article, we first briefly describe what the Time decision did, comparing Chancellor William Allen's somewhat discursive Chancery Court opinion with the more peremptory ruling of the Supreme Court. Next, we identify three unarticulated but potentially far-reaching implications of both the Supreme Court's and Chancellor Allen's reasoning that threaten to destabilize seemingly settled doctrine governing the conduct of target company management.
Recalling Why Corporate Officers Are Fiduciaries, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
Recalling Why Corporate Officers Are Fiduciaries, Lyman P.Q. Johnson, David K. Millon
David K. Millon
For all the recent federal attention to regulating - and differentiating - corporate officer and director functions, a curious fact remains: state fiduciary duty law makes no distinction between the fiduciary duties of these two groups. Instead, courts and commentators routinely describe the duties of directors and officers together, and in identical terms. To lump officers and directors together as generic fiduciaries with no distinction being made between them, suggests - as patently is not the case - that their institutional function and legal roles within the corporation are the same. Such a view, consequently, undermines efforts more sharply to …
