Legal Factors In The Acquisition Of A United State Corporation: Litigation By Hostile Targets, Johan E. Droogmans Jan 1987

Legal Factors In The Acquisition Of A United State Corporation: Litigation By Hostile Targets, Johan E. Droogmans

LLM Theses and Essays

Acquisitions of United States corporations have become increasingly complex takeover contests, where bidders and target corporations are forced into offensive and defensive litigation strategies to protect their respective interests. Targets often assert that the bidders have violated federal or state securities laws, federal antitrust laws, federal margin regulations, federal and state regulatory systems, and federal anti-racketeering laws. These lawsuits are primarily based on the principal federal regulation of takeovers in section 14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Williams Act. Target litigation is customary, but entails certain disadvantages; a lawsuit rarely stops an offer, is expensive, …

Bandwagon Is Rolling: Adr Demands And Thrives On Lawyers Creative Thinking, Christine D. Ver Ploeg

Faculty Scholarship

The ADR (alternative dispute resolution) bandwagon is rolling. Clients are becoming disenchanted with traditional litigation, and they're hearing about ADR. ADR has three broad categories: mediation, the mini-trial, and arbitration. Attorneys can provide a real service to clients by being familiar with and developing skills in ADR.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Civil Procedure And Practice, W. Hamilton Bryson

University of Richmond Law Review

This article considers recent developments in the field of Virginia civil procedure and practice, including statutes, rules of court, and opinions of the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Court of Appeals of Virginia that have appeared between May 1986 and May 1987. This article also comments on cases in volumes five through eight of Virginia Circuit Court Opinions, many of which were decided before 1986. It is appropriate to mention them here since they were only recently made generally available through publication. In order to facilitate the discussion of numerous Virginia Code sections, they will be referred to in …


Equitable Relief Under Civil Rico: Reflection On Religious Technology Center V. Wallersheim: Will Civil Rico Be Effective Only Against White-Collar Crime?, G. Robert Blakey, Scott D. Cessar Jan 1987

Equitable Relief Under Civil Rico: Reflection On Religious Technology Center V. Wallersheim: Will Civil Rico Be Effective Only Against White-Collar Crime?, G. Robert Blakey, Scott D. Cessar

Journal Articles

The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held in Religious Technology Center v. Wollersheim that Congress did not intend to give private civil RICO plaintiffs any right to injunctive relief. This Article argues that the Wollershiem’s reasoning is flawed for being inconsistent with the text, the legislative history, and the purpose of RICO. In addition, it argues that it is inconsistent with statutory interpretation principles advanced by the Supreme Court. In particular, it discusses the case’s facts, provides an overview of civil RICO, examines and critiques Wollersheim’s reasoning, and addresses the adverse policy, economic, and political consequences of Wollersheim …

Some Problems Of Legal Regulation Of The Use Of Computer Technology In Czechoslovakia, Viktor Knapp Jan 1987

Some Problems Of Legal Regulation Of The Use Of Computer Technology In Czechoslovakia, Viktor Knapp

Michigan Journal of International Law

Technical progress is one of the most important elements of social development which necessarily causes change in the law. In the past few decades computer technology has become very important. As a component of technical progress, computer technology has given rise to new social relations which require legal regulation. Such regulation, however, is not provided adequately by existing legal rules in the contemporary Czechoslovak legal system.

Legal Evolution And Legislation, Alan Watson Jan 1987

Legal Evolution And Legislation, Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

For several years I have been working on two relationships: the relationship between legal rules and the society in which they operate, and the relationship between sources of law and the way law evolves. Some critics have suggested that in discussing the evolution of law, I have understated the revolutionary force of legislation and statutory law. This issue will be the focus of this article.

A Synthesis And Integration Of Supreme Court Precedent Regarding The Regulatory Taking Of Land, John W. Ragsdale Jr Jan 1987

A Synthesis And Integration Of Supreme Court Precedent Regarding The Regulatory Taking Of Land, John W. Ragsdale Jr

Faculty Works

In the post World War II era of rapid land development, emergent environmental problems, and heightened legislative response, the taking clause has proved to be the most pervasive and significant limitation on the power of government over private land usage. The dimensions and implications of this provision and the interpretive Supreme Court opinions have attracted the attention of numerous scholars whose efforts, usually, have been rather critical. The authors have often sought to question the logic, language and premises of fundamental opinions, to warn of the economic, moral and ecological consequences of portended judicial trends, to pose new taking tests …
