Basel Iii And Credit Risk Measurement: Variations Among G20 Countries, Matt Schlickenmaier
Basel Iii And Credit Risk Measurement: Variations Among G20 Countries, Matt Schlickenmaier
San Diego International Law Journal
Most countries require banks to hold extra capital to protect against unforeseen financial calamities; banks with riskier loans must hold more capital than those with safer loans. Basel II, a set of international banking standards, allows banks to measure a loan’s risk in different ways: some banks make their own judgments; others use outside agencies. The recent mortgage crisis prompted banks to reevaluate these methods, in part due to banks having failed to perceive the high level of risk inherent in securitized mortgages. The international community’s response was Basel III, an updated version of its previous standards. This Comment will …

Confronting The Mortgage Meltdown: A Brief For The Federalization Of State Mortgage Foreclosure Law, Grant S. Nelson
Confronting The Mortgage Meltdown: A Brief For The Federalization Of State Mortgage Foreclosure Law, Grant S. Nelson
Pepperdine Law Review
This Article argues for federal preemption of state procedures governing the foreclosure of mortgages and security interests in rents. While it also suggests that federal action limiting or prohibiting state anti-deficiency legislation may be appropriate, it leaves this issue to future consideration. Thus, its major focus is to advocate the congressional adoption of both Uniform Nonjudicial Foreclosure Act (UNFA) and Uniform Assignment of Rents Act (UARA) to make them available to all lenders nationwide. However, the federal government has a special stake in greater uniformity for its own account. This is especially the case as to mortgages on real estate. …

Mezzanine Finance And Preferred Equity Investment In Commercial Real Estate: Security, Collateral & Control, Jon S. Robins, David E. Wallace, Mark Franke
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
This article will review both the genesis and the rise in popularity of preferred equity and mezzanine debt, examine their legal and structural differences, and provide some exposition as to how these financing techniques work from security, collateral and control standpoints. We do not undertake in this article to address the differences in tax and accounting treatment between mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments both for either the mezzanine lender or preferred equity investor on the one hand, or for the mezzanine borrower or the common equity investor, on the other hand. In deciding upon which structure to use, transaction …
Notice Is Not Enough: Why Tila Requires More Than A Letter Of Intent, Levi Smith
Notice Is Not Enough: Why Tila Requires More Than A Letter Of Intent, Levi Smith
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform Caveat
The federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA) provides borrowers with protections and remedies against certain actions by lenders. TILA allows, in some circumstances, a borrower to rescind a loan from a lender within a three-year period from when the loan is made. However, a circuit split has developed regarding how the right to rescind must be exercised. Of the circuits that have considered this question, some require a lawsuit to be filed within the three-year period to rescind the loan. Other circuits have held that providing notice of the intent to rescind the loan within the three-year period is sufficient …

What Every Guarantor Should Know About The One-Action Rule And Deficiency Actions, David R. Hague

Personal guarantees are an inherent part of obtaining a business loan. A personal guarantee is an unsecured promise from an individual to make loan payments when the business is not able to do so. In other words, it is simply an added assurance for the lender that the loan will be paid in full. Generally, if the borrower defaults, the lender can file suit against both the borrower and the guarantor for payment. Oftentimes, lenders require another layer of protection, in addition to the personal guarantee: collateral to secure the loan.
Signing a personal guarantee comes with substantial risks, primarily …
Grand Theft Auto Loans: Repossession And Demographic Realities In Title Lending, Nathalie Martin, Ozymandias Adams
Grand Theft Auto Loans: Repossession And Demographic Realities In Title Lending, Nathalie Martin, Ozymandias Adams
Missouri Law Review
This Article analyzes empirical data on one of America's fastest growing credit products, the title loan. A title loan is a high-interest, deeply over secured, consumer loan, in which the consumer uses an unencumbered automobile as collateral for a non-purchase money loan. Title loans are made based solely on equity in a car. If a customer has insufficient income to pay the payments under the loan, typically interest-only payments at 300% per annum or more, the lender repossesses the vehicle, many of which have GPS trackers installed for this purpose. Not surprisingly, the repossession rates for title loans are higher …
Behaviorally Informed Regulation, Michael S. Barr, Sendhil Mullainathan, Eldar Shafir
Behaviorally Informed Regulation, Michael S. Barr, Sendhil Mullainathan, Eldar Shafir
Book Chapters
Policy makers typically approach human behavior from the perspective of the rational agent model, which relics on normativc, a priori analyses. The model assumes people make insightful, well-planned, highly controlled, and calculated decisions guided by considerations of personal utility. This perspective is promoted in the social sciences and in professional schools and has come to dominate much of the formulation and conduct of policy. An alternative view, developed mostly through empirical behavioral research, and the one we will articulate here, provides a substantially difierent perspective on individual behavior and its policy and regulatory implications. According to the empirical perspective, behavior …
