Three years have passed since the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its controversial decision in Whiten v. Pilot Insurance Co. In that case, the Court affirmed an almost unprecedented punitive damage award by a jury of one million dollars against an insurance company. More importantly, the Whiten decision appears to be the first attempt by the Supreme Court to construct a comprehensive set of rules and principles in light of which punitive damages cases should be decided in the future. While the extraordinary monetary sanction upheld by the Court has attracted much attention in legal and commercial circles, it seems …

E Pluribus Unum -- Out Of Many, One: Why The United States Needs A Single Financial Services Agency, Elizabeth F. Brown

The Ponderosa Claim: Opic Concludes That Argentina Violated International Law, Perry S. Bechky

In 2005, the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation (“OPIC”) determined that the Government of Argentina (the “GOA”) violated international law in its response to the 2001 financial crisis, by abrogating key provisions of the license that it had granted to operate the major natural gas pipeline in southern Argentina. This case note situates the OPIC determination with the contemporaneous investor-state arbitral claims brought by private investors directly against the GOA pursuant to the terms of a number of Argentina’s Bilateral Investment Treaties (“BITs”), and then offers several observations about the relationship between BITs and OPIC’s political-risk-insurance (“PRI”) in the modern …
