Privacy Vs. Convenience: The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tax System Modernization, E. Maria Grace
Privacy Vs. Convenience: The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tax System Modernization, E. Maria Grace
Federal Communications Law Journal
The Internal Revenue Service has launched the Tax System Modernization (TSM) program, a $23 billion plan to modernize its computer and information systems. TSM will be the largest computer upgrade ever undertaken by the federal government. Like any other computer network, TSM will inevitably be threatened by computer viruses, professional eavesdroppers, power outages, natural disasters, and human error. Given the sensitive nature of tax returns, the IRS has the difficult task of modernizing its data collection procedures and telecommunications facilities without risking the privacy of taxpayers and offending the security measures required by the Privacy Act of 1974, Computer Security …

Adopting Article Iv: Can Consumers Afford To Rely On The Banks' Good Faith?, Robert A. Fricks
Mercer Law Review
In 1990 the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute approved comprehensive changes to Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C."). These changes will greatly impact consumer transactions and alter the relationship between banks and their customers. As of December 1994, thirty-six states had adopted the revised Articles. While most states adopted them as written, some have made changes which provide the consumer with greater protection. The Georgia General Assembly will soon address the issue of whether to adopt the new Articles. At issue is whether the revisions warrant added consumer …

Are Consumer Rights Human Rights?, Sinai Deutch
Are Consumer Rights Human Rights?, Sinai Deutch
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Consumer protection has gained great importance since World War II. Similarly, the concept of human rights has become increasingly prevalent. Substantive and procedural tests of human rights support the contention that the tendency toward broadening the definition of human rights allows us to include consumer rights within that definition. In a consumer-oriented society, protection of the individual consumer is perceived as part of maintaining human dignity-especially against big business organizations, monopolies, cartels, and multinational corporations. Well-accepted doctrines of human rights, therefore, such as the emphasis on an individual's prosperity, honour, and dignity, can serve as the basis for recognizing consumer …

A Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers, Thomas H. Lee
A Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers, Thomas H. Lee
Vanderbilt Law Review
This simple statement, which represents a patriotic imperative ' for some Americans and a simple declaration of measurable observation for others, potentially plays havoc with products liability warning law. Products liability law, a byproduct of both common and statutory law, has developed state by state in a crazy quilt pattern across the country; although the states are virtually unanimous on broad doctrines, they have taken a Balkanized approach to details. Today, every jurisdiction recognizes that product manufacturers and sellers have a duty to warn consumers and users adequately of the inherent dangers associated with their products. This recognition, however, does …

The Price Of Trust: An Examination Of Fiduciary Duty And The Lender-Borrower Relationship, 29 Wake Forest L. Rev. 719 (1994), Cecil J. Hunt Ii
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
Comparing the search for elements which will give rise to a fiduciary relationship between a bank and a borrower to the quest for the elusive holy grail, Professor Hunt proposes that, rather than existing only in special circumstances, the fiduciary relationship is a normal aspect of the bank-borrower relationship. Hunt explains that a fiduciary obligation is part of the parties' assumptive base in the bank-borrower relationship that must by necessity exist before any borrower would entrust private or business information to a bank in return for a loan. While acknowledging that such a relationship might be inapposite in the initial …

Heirs Of Leonardo: Cultural Obstacles To Strict Products Liability In Italy, Anita Bernstein, Paul Fanning
Heirs Of Leonardo: Cultural Obstacles To Strict Products Liability In Italy, Anita Bernstein, Paul Fanning
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In this Article, Professor Bernstein and Mr. Fanning argue that strict products liability, a legal rule recently adopted in the European Union, clashes with the culture of one of its large Member States, Italy. Using a wide array of source material--history, political sociology, literature, and numerous interviews--the authors begin with Italian traditions, exploring their implications for legal change. Strict products liability conflicts with these traditions. The doctrine is collectivist, tending to regard individuals in terms of group membership. Italians reject this aggregation, and affirm the singularity of a product design. The authors conclude that the EU attempt to harmonize its …

Cutting The Bill For Commonwealth Edison's Nuclear Power Plants: Important Gains For Illinois Public Utility Customers, Robert Jones
Cutting The Bill For Commonwealth Edison's Nuclear Power Plants: Important Gains For Illinois Public Utility Customers, Robert Jones
Journal Articles
In 1993 Commonwealth Edison, Illinois’s largest electric utility agreed to pay its customers $1.3 billion, the biggest refund issued by a utility in United States history, and to reduce its electricity rates by $339 million per year. This refund and rate reduction settled a decade-long series of cases with consumer advocates over the billions of dollars Edison spent constructing five nuclear power plants. The litigation not only offered relief to Edison customers, who paid some of the highest rates in the country. It dramatically changed Illinois law, giving public utility companies strong incentive to generate electricity through less costly and …
Proposed Revisions Concerning Products Liability Caveat Vendor, James J. White
Proposed Revisions Concerning Products Liability Caveat Vendor, James J. White
Other Publications
Both industrial sellers and consumer sellers should look at proposals for revision of the sections relating to warranty liability in Article 2. Particularly important are the sections on warranty, express and implied, on third-party liability, disclaimers and limitation of remedy, notice, and statute of limitations. Using current law as a baseline, revised Article 2 increases sellers' liability in at least half a dozen ways and decreases it in no significant way.

Brooke Group Ltd. V. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp.: A Victory For Consumer Welfare Under The Robinson-Patman Act, Keith Allen May
University of Richmond Law Review
The preservation of competition among business entities is vital to the success of any economy. Recognizing the importance of competition, the United States Congress has passed antitrust laws that seek to enhance productivity and protect consumers. Although the antitrust laws, like all statutes, are vulnerable to a variety of different interpretations, "[t]he language of the antitrust statutes, their legislative histories, the major structural features of the antitrust law, and considerations of the scope, nature, consistency, and ease of administration of the law all indicate that the law should be guided solely by the criterion of consumer welfare." The antitrust laws …

Oregon Consumer Protection: Outfitting Private Attorneys General For The Lean Years Ahead, Steven W. Bender
Faculty Articles
This article examines Oregon's UTPA with an eye toward legislative and judicial reforms that will strengthen its private cause of action and thereby facilitate private enforcement. First, the scope of the UTPA is examined. Next, private remedies authorized by the UTPA are critiqued. Finally, the role of the DOJ is reformulated in response to declining public resources and increased reliance on private enforcement.
