Directors’ Duty Of Care In Times Of Financial Distress Following The Global Epidemic Crisis, Leon Yehuda Anidjar
Directors’ Duty Of Care In Times Of Financial Distress Following The Global Epidemic Crisis, Leon Yehuda Anidjar
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
The global COVID-19 pandemic is causing the large-scale end of life and severe human suffering globally. This massive public health crisis created a significant economic crisis and is reflected in a recession of global production and the collapse of confidence in the functions of markets. Corporations and boards of directors around the world are required to design specific strategies to tackle the negative consequences of the crisis. This is especially true for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that suffered tremendous economic loss, and their continued existence as ongoing concern is under considerable risk. Given these uncertain financial times, this Article …

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review
Imagine you are the owner of a small construction company and
are contracted to build a large office building. As is customary, you
signed a contract agreeing to complete the building by a specific
deadline for a set amount of money. Included is a brief force majeure
clause, which allows you to be relieved of the contract in the case of
“unforeseeable circumstances” that might prevent completion of the
project. During construction, heavy tariffs affect your main suppliers,
exponentially increasing the projected cost of completing the
project. Your company cannot afford the supplies necessary to complete
the building, and you …

Covid-19 Business Interruption Insurance Losses: The Cases For And Against Coverage, Christopher French
Covid-19 Business Interruption Insurance Losses: The Cases For And Against Coverage, Christopher French
Journal Articles
The financial consequences of the government-ordered shutdowns of businesses across America to mitigate the COVID-19 health crisis are enormous. Estimates indicate that small businesses have lost $255 to $431 billion per month and more than 44 million workers have been laid off. When businesses have requested reimbursement of their business interruption losses from their insurers under business interruption policies, their insurers have denied the claims. The insurance industry also has announced that business interruption policies do not cover pandemic losses, so they intend to fight COVID-19 claims “tooth and nail.” More than 450 lawsuits throughout the country already have been …

Cyber Insurance Today: Saving It Before It Needs Saving, Angela Nieves
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Cyber insurance, which covers a company’s losses and costs stemming from a cyberattack, represents a nearly $5 billion global market. But have stakeholders shaped a sustainable model? This article analyzes contrasting claims about the viability of cyber insurance. It proposes measures to ensure the survival of the cyber insurance market, which should be immediately addressed given the current state of the world and the fact that even pre-COVID-19, businesses worldwide stood to lose over $5.2 trillion over the next five years due to cybercrimes. Unless action is taken to mitigate the fallout from cyber events, the cyber insurance market will …
