United States Liability For Expropriations In Foreign Territory: Setting The Standard For Responsibility, Miriam A. Kadragich

Fordham International Law Journal

The Gatt And Services: Quill And Ink In An Age Of Word Processors, Robert N.H. Christmas Jan 1986

The Gatt And Services: Quill And Ink In An Age Of Word Processors, Robert N.H. Christmas

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that because a significant portion of services are traded electronically, for example, via cable and satellite, any new agreement must encompass electronically-delivered services. Part I of this Note discusses the dispute in the international community over extending the GATT to cover services. Part II examines the problems posed by modern technology related to the inclusion of services in any multi-lateral agreement. Part III analyzes the inadequacy of existing and proposed GATT frameworks for dealing with the problems posed by electronically-delivered services. This Note concludes that while the existing and proposed GATT frameworks may provide a structure for …

European Community Competition Law- A Rejoinder By Judge Pescatore, Judge Pescatore Jan 1986

European Community Competition Law- A Rejoinder By Judge Pescatore, Judge Pescatore

Fordham International Law Journal

This article contests the contention by Dr. Marenco that Judge Pescatore asserts a theory that Member States of the EED are prevented by Community law from intervening in the marketplace by legislation. Rather, Judge Pescatore explains how his article envisaged acts of legislation by which Member States specifically intervene in the normal play of competition. He goes on to say that Dr. Marenco is battling an imaginary theory of his own making and not against what he actually wrote.

Deemed Liquidation: Whose Rate Is This Anyway, Lawrence M. Segan Jan 1986

Deemed Liquidation: Whose Rate Is This Anyway, Lawrence M. Segan

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that there are many reasons to believe that Congress did intend section 504 to operate as a penalty on Customs for failure to liquidate in a timely manner. Part I discusses the process by which imports are liquidated and how section 504 has been implemented. Part II examines how the CIT has interpreted the statute. Part III argues that the practice of Customs and the CIT's interpretation conflict with the congressional intent behind section 504. Finally, this Note concludes that in order to conform to Congress' intent, the importer's asserted rate should be given effect in deemed …

Libel Law And The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms: Towards A Broader Protection For Media Defendants, Amy R. Stein

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that Canada should recognize a privilege for media defendants similar to the United States actual malice standard in order to guarantee fully the freedom of the press set forth in the new Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Part I examines the recently adopted Charter, and the similarity between its free press provision and the first amendment of the United States Constitution. Part II demonstrates how current Canadian libel law curtails freedom of the press by burdening media defendants. Part III argues that the United States constitutional privilege better protects freedom of the press as guaranteed in the …


Land Acquisition In Developing Countries, Allan J. Berlowitz Jan 1986

Land Acquisition In Developing Countries, Allan J. Berlowitz

Fordham International Law Journal

The book's introduction reveals a startling premise that will potentially affect all counties, not just those in the Third World: by the year 2000, almost sixty urban centers will have populations in excess of five million, and almost fifty of those urban centers will lie in developing countries. The essential structure of Mr. Kitay's book consists of passages of explanation and analysis, with examples and observations concerning land acquisition in developing countries. The explanation and analysis portion begins with a discussion of the threshold issue of whether the private sector or government should be primarily responsible for land policy formulation, …
