The Proper Role Of A Target's Management In Responding To A Tender Offer, Frank H. Easterbrook, Daniel R. Fischel Apr 1981

The Proper Role Of A Target's Management In Responding To A Tender Offer, Frank H. Easterbrook, Daniel R. Fischel

Articles

Under existing federal and state law, a corporation's managers can resist and often defeat a premium tender offer without liability to either the corporation's shareholders or the unsuccessful tender offeror. Professors Easterbrook and Fischel argue that resistance by a corporation's managers to premium tender offers, even if it triggers a bidding contest, ultimately decreases shareholder welfare. Shareholders would be better off, the authors claim, were such resistance all but proscribed. The authors consider, but find wanting, a number of potential criticisms of their analysis; they conclude by proposing a rule of mangerial passivity capable of controlling resistance in actual cases.

Public Programs And Private Rights, Cass R. Sunstein, Richard B. Stewart Jan 1981

Public Programs And Private Rights, Cass R. Sunstein, Richard B. Stewart

Articles

By what right may courts seek to remedy deficient administrative performance, and by what methods should they do so? This question has been answered in fits and starts, in the context of several existing remedies: rights to contest regulatory impositions, hearing rights concerning government benefits, implied rights of action, and most recently, rights to require an agency itself to take enforcement action. Professors Stewart and Sunstein offer a theory to explain both the conceptual similarities and the evolutionary differences among these remedies. They show how the remedies are linked with particular conceptions of the deepest purposes particular statutes are meant …

The Disposition Of Felony Arrests, Hans Zeisel Jan 1981

The Disposition Of Felony Arrests, Hans Zeisel

Articles

While we know a great deal about the disposition of felony arrests that reach the trial stage, we know little about the details of the dispositions reached without trial. And yet, this latter category forms as a rule over 90 percent, in New York City 98 percent, of all dispositions. Basing his analysis on a study done in the early 1970s, the author describes and presents data on the various stages in the process from arrest to final disposition through plea bargaining, trial, or dismissal of the case. For the first time, this usually opaque disposition pattern prior to trial …
