"Doing Business": Defining State Control Over Foreign Corporations, William A. Holby Oct 1979

"Doing Business": Defining State Control Over Foreign Corporations, William A. Holby

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note will attempt to analyze the present status of the term "doing business" or the substitute terminology used to define that level of activity sufficient to subject a foreign corporation to state control in a particular context.' After defining the degree of activity necessary to permit the state to exercise control in each context, this Note will analyze the accuracy and utility of using terminology such as "doing business" in describing whether corporate activity within a state is sufficient to permit state exercise of legislative or judicial jurisdiction. This Note concludes by pro-posing that use of such ambiguous language …

Appealability Of District Court Orders Disapproving Proposed Settlements In Shareholder Derivative Suits, Harold N. Falls, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Recent Development will trace briefly the history of the collateral order doctrine, focusing on recent treatment by the Supreme Court. After an examination of the elements of a district court's decision to approve or disapprove a derivative suit settlement, the Recent Development will analyze the conflicting results reached by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second and Ninth Circuits in light of the Supreme Court's apparent retrenchment. Although finding that the Second Circuit's decision to reject appeal ability is most consistent with recent Supreme Court pronouncements, this Recent Development submits that the Supreme Court has adopted an …


The Negative Commerce Clause And State Environmental Legislation-Externalities Suggest Application Of The Tax Standard To Environmental Regulations, Douglas K. Stewart May 1979

The Negative Commerce Clause And State Environmental Legislation-Externalities Suggest Application Of The Tax Standard To Environmental Regulations, Douglas K. Stewart

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note advocates judicial application of this tax analysis not only to tax environmental legislation, but also to regulatory environmental legislation. The theoretical justification for this thesis is provided by the economic concept of externalities. Externalities are elements used in the production of a marketed item without cost to the producer, but at a cost to others. The term "externality"stems from the fact that the use of the element of production is not included in the market price of the item. Undesirable environmental impact has been recognized as an externality -- a cost to those people adversely affected by it …


Customs Court Jurisdiction In International Trade Cases, Jonathan S. Brenner Apr 1979

Customs Court Jurisdiction In International Trade Cases, Jonathan S. Brenner

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article discusses the specific problems involved in Customs Court jurisdiction. After outlining in Part I these jurisdictional problems and the court's failure to deal with them, the article, in Part II, proposes an analytic framework that focusses attention on the relevant criteria for ascertaining Customs Court jurisdiction. This framework is built upon the exclusivity of Customs Court jurisdiction and exhaustion of the administrative review process. The distinct rights of importers and manufacturers are also discussed and the special problem of cases which do not meet the procedural prerequisites for Customs Court jurisdiction are explored. Finally, Part III of this …

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Special Project undertakes an examination of Justice Stevens' Supreme Court opinions in an effort to identify his philosophical orientations, to evaluate the consistency of his views, and to determine the extent to which he has developed workable analytical methods. To achieve these goals, Justice Stevens' opinions are examined in three contexts: first, the area of federal-state relations,including commerce clause and supremacy clause questions; second, the individual rights area, emphasizing criminal constitutional and first amendment issues, and problems of fifth and fourteenth amendment analysis; and third, questions concerning the proper role of the Supreme Court in the constitutional scheme. Even …

Products Liability: Developments In The Rule Of Successor Liability For Product-Related Injuries, Mary Annette Horan Jan 1979

Products Liability: Developments In The Rule Of Successor Liability For Product-Related Injuries, Mary Annette Horan

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will briefly review the traditional principles of corporate law governing the assumption of liabilities in the acquisition of an ongoing business, and the doctrinal premises of strict products liability. Attention will then be critically directed to recent developments in case law in which the traditional rules have been modified to reflect the policy considerations of strict products liability. Finally, this article will discuss the possibility of legislative intervention in the development of new principles governing successor responsibility for products liability claims and propose that this problem is an appropriate subject for legislative rather than judicial action.
