Nova Scotia Freedom Of Information Act, Keith R. Evans May 1979

Nova Scotia Freedom Of Information Act, Keith R. Evans

Dalhousie Law Journal

Freedom of Information has been the subject of much current debate in Canada, but is not new to the world. The United States enacted their first Act, in 1966,1 and amendments in 1974 finally gave the Act some worthwhile effect. 2 Sweden has had Freedom of Information legislation for over two hundred years. The experience of these two countries has been very favourable, but Canada refuses to learn from that experience. There is still a fear in the governments of Canada that openness in government would lead to problems, the ultimate fear being that the party in power will no …

Approaches To Bilateral Loan Agreements Between Developed And Developing States: Some Lessons From The Practice Of Denmark, The United Kingdom And The United States, A. O. Adede

Dalhousie Law Journal

An earlier study,' relying upon texts of bilateral loan agreements concluded between Denmark and certain developing countries, 2 and between the United Kingdom and certain developing countries, 3 discloses that there is a need for further examination of the subject for the purposes of updating and assessing the trend of developments in this area of international law. This paper is accordingly designed to offer comparative analysis of the more recent approaches to bilateral loan agreements concluded by Denmark, the United Kingdom and the United States with a number of developing countries. The selection of these three developed, market economy States …


The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act And Antitrust: A Hollow Promise, Donald E. Dekieffer Jan 1979

The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act And Antitrust: A Hollow Promise, Donald E. Dekieffer

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Even when it has been "successfully" used, the FSIA has not been able to overcome any of the traditional substantive defenses used by foreign companies to insulate themselves from antitrust scrutiny. Foreign compulsion, sovereign immunity, and an act of state remain impregnable bastions to American plaintiffs injured by the effects of offshore conspiracies.


Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono Jan 1979

Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article intends to demonstrate the similarity of Japanese and Chinese attitudes towards contractual agreements by contrasting Japan-.P.R.C. agreements with Japan-United States and Japan-third world agreements. This similarity of attitudes, the structural support framework for bilateral trade, technology, and after-sales service can explain Japan's success in trading with the P.R.C.


High-Level Radioactive Waste Management: The Nuclear Dilemma, Richard C. Ausness Jan 1979

High-Level Radioactive Waste Management: The Nuclear Dilemma, Richard C. Ausness

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The United States is faced with a nuclear dilemma. On the one hand, nuclear power seems to be the only significant energy source that is presently capable of meeting the country's electrical energy needs. On the other hand, it is uncertain whether the United States has the technological and managerial capability to make nuclear power reliable and safe. In view of this situation, the United States should begin to develop less dangerous alternatives such as solar power. But development of an efficient solar energy system may require 30 years or more. In the meantime, the United States must learn to …
