Mccoy On Deed Restrictions,, Walter Mccoy

Walter J McCoy

Dr. McCoy looks at a land use control measure, Deed Restrictions, which is primarily germane to Houston Texas. The author shows by legal example how deed restrictions have been effective at times, and at other times runs into problems with enforcement, due process, and equal protection issues. Also, points out McCoy, deed restrictions may serve communities with better financial resources in opposition to lower income places with the same type of restrictions. The author also depicts through the writing of others, when deed restrictions attempts to take on legislative fervor but actually cannot due to the basis of its formation, …

Public Accountability And Medical Device Regulation, Robert B. Leflar

Robert B Leflar

In enacting the Medical Device Amendments of 1976, Congress instituted a flexible system of regulatory controls over a vast array of health care products. Analyzing the complex statute and its legislative history, Professor Leflar finds at the law's core a structure designed to ensure the Food and Drug Administration's accountability to the public for its regulatory actions. Reviewing the history of FDA's implementation of the medical device law, however, the author demonstrates that FDA has strayed widely and, he contends, illegally from the congressionally mandated structure of public accountability. In particular, in its review of new-model medical devices in the …

Opinions Of Counsel In Corporate Transactions: Opinions On Compliance With The Company's Charter, By-Laws, And Contractual Obligations, Scott T. Fitzgibbon, Donald W. Glazer

Scott T. FitzGibbon

The opinion delivered by company counsel at the closing of a corporate transaction typically contains a clause that addresses compliance by the company with its charter, by-laws and contractual obligations. One form of opinion confirms that execution and delivery by the company of the agreement in question and performance by the company of its obligations under the agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of or default under the company's charter, by-laws or specified contracts. Another form of opinion focuses more broadly on all of the company's activities. This alternative opinion, often requested and often, with good …

State Competence To Regulate Corporate Takeovers: Lessons From State Takeover Statutes, Alan E. Garfield

Alan E Garfield

This Article reveals two very different lessons about state competence to regulate corporate takeovers. The first lesson is that some states are enacting anti-takeover legislation for the protectionist purpose of sheltering large local employers. The Article contends that the appropriate response to this legislation is for courts to invalidate it under the Commerce Clause. The second lesson is that some states, most notably Delaware, are enacting anti-takeover legislation to protect a state’s corporate chartering industry. In this instance, federal preemptive intervention is necessary to ensure that state law does not unduly favor management interests at shareholder expense.

Allocating The Gst Exemption Under The Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax, Michael B. Lang

Michael B. Lang

One of the most significant aspects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 for estate planners was the retroactive repeal of the original 1976 generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax and the enactment of an entirely new generation-skipping transfer tax. The new generation-skipping transfer tax, unlike the 1976 version, generally applies to transfers that constitute "direct skips," such as outright gifts to grandchildren. Like the earlier tax, the new tax also applies to "taxable terminations," such as a termination of the life estate of the transferor's child resulting in the grandchild receiving possession of the transferred property in fee simple under the …
