2003 Testimony On Securitization And Predatory Lending In A Hearing On 'Protecting Homeowners: Preventing Abusive Lending While Preserving Access To Credit', Kurt Eggert

Kurt Eggert

This 2003 Congressional Testimony warns of the dangers of securitizing subprime loans. After defining "predatory lending" and describing the process of securitization, it argues that securitizing subprime loans has many dangers. While some have claimed that securitizing loans lowers loan costs to borrowers, the reverse might be true and securitization may actually increase the costs of loans to borrowers.

Section 1031 And Proximate And Midstream Business Transactions, Brad Borden

Bradley T. Borden

Section 1031 exchanges frequently occur in proximity to business transactions (i.e., entity formations, mergers, divisions, and dissolutions). Although section 1031 exchanges and many business transactions can be tax free, the proximity of such transactions often presents challenging legal and theoretical questions. In fact, depending on the order of the transactions, taxpayers may lose the tax-free treatment of the exchange or of the proximate business transaction. This Article examines the tax consequences and theoretical aspects of section 1031 exchanges and proximate business transactions.

Errant E-Mail: Inadvertant Disclosure Of Confidential Material Poses Dilemma, Barry R. Temkin

Barry R. Temkin

Lawyers must excercise diligence to protect the confidentiality of privileged client materials. Lawyers who mistakenly press the "send" button on their computers or "reply to all" may find that they inadvertently disclosed confidential material to adversaries -- or the public. The recipient of such inadvertently sent confidential materials may have a duty to alert an adversary to the mistaken disclosure, depending on the precautions taken to preserve privilege, and whether there is evidence of a conscious or reckless waiver of the privilege.
