Securities Regulation And Freedom Of The Press: Toward A Marketplace Of Ideas In The Marketplace Of Investment, Donald E. Lively Sep 1985

Securities Regulation And Freedom Of The Press: Toward A Marketplace Of Ideas In The Marketplace Of Investment, Donald E. Lively

Washington Law Review

Federal regulation of securities traditionally, and almost unquestioningly, has included regulation of the press. Central to governance of the investment marketplace are systems of prior restraint and mandatory disclosure premised upon investor protection but antithetical to first amendment principles. The constitutionality of those systems largely has been uncontested. Since commercial speech has emerged as a protected form of expression, however, it is fitting to assess the compatibility of securities regulation with the first amendment.

Secrecy And Blocking Laws: A Growing Problem As The Internationalization Of Securities Markets Continues, Rochelle G. Kauffman Jan 1985

Secrecy And Blocking Laws: A Growing Problem As The Internationalization Of Securities Markets Continues, Rochelle G. Kauffman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note examines the problems recently faced by the SEC in policing securities transactions effected by foreign financial institutions in jurisdictions with secrecy and blocking laws, and it proposes both a short-term solution and a long-term solution to the SEC's enforcement problems. Part II of the Note outlines the problems confronting the SEC, specifically addressing the growing internationalization of securities markets and the effects on United States markets. This section also examines the problems confronting the SEC as a result of secrecy and blocking laws, and it suggests that unless new enforcement procedures are developed, these problems will increase when …


When Is A Car A Bicycle And Other Riddles: The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Laws, M. Thomas Arnold Jan 1985

When Is A Car A Bicycle And Other Riddles: The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Laws, M. Thomas Arnold

Cleveland State Law Review

In Marine Bank v. Weaver, the United States Supreme Court decided that a certificate of deposit purchased from a federally-regulated bank was not, under the circumstances of the case, a security under federal laws. Several recent federal court cases have considered the question of the status of certificates of deposit under factual circumstances somewhat different from Weaver. Two of these cases provide an interesting study of the uncertainty that continues to surround the definition of a security. And despite the lengthy definitions of "security" found in federal securities laws, much uncertainty remains as to exactly what is included within the …

The Applicability Of Local Securities Acts To Multi-State Securities Transactions, Jack E. Mcclard Jan 1985

The Applicability Of Local Securities Acts To Multi-State Securities Transactions, Jack E. Mcclard

University of Richmond Law Review

A plaintiff in securities fraud litigation usually has a whole arsenal of legal theories to pursue. If the securities transaction touched several states, in addition to federal remedies, the plaintiff may have remedies available under two or more state securities acts. In multi-state transactions, lawyers naturally assume that the court must select among state remedies by applying conflict of laws principles. That natural inclination is generally unnecessary.

Performance Bonds, Bankers' Guarantees, And The Mareva Injunction, Peter S. O'Driscoll Jan 1985

Performance Bonds, Bankers' Guarantees, And The Mareva Injunction, Peter S. O'Driscoll

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Performance bonds and bankers' guarantees are common features of international sales and construction contracts. They figure prominently in contracts with buyers and employers in the Middle East. In recent years, the amounts represented by these instruments have grown so large that banks have begun to syndicate them in order to limit the exposure of any one bank. With so much at stake, it is imperative that traders, bankers, and lawyers understand the legal implications of performance bonds and bankers' guarantee agreements and the treatment of such agreements by the courts. This Comment will address some of the problems associated with …


Extraterritorial Application Of United States Commodity And Securities Laws To Market Transactions In An Age Of Intercontinental Trading Links, Harold A. Malkin Jan 1985

Extraterritorial Application Of United States Commodity And Securities Laws To Market Transactions In An Age Of Intercontinental Trading Links, Harold A. Malkin

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The recently operational trading link between the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") and the Singapore International Monetary Exchange ("SIMEX") is one of the most significant developments to occur in the securities industry in recent memory. While the initial phase of this intermarket, intercontinental link involves only the trading of Eurodollar, Deutsche mark, and Japanese yen futures contracts, the prospects for the trading of additional contracts, and the further expansion of trading hours, ultimately to round-the-clock trading, appear favorable. The internationalization of both foreign and domestic futures markets is clearly the order of the day. A trading link connecting the futures exchanges …

The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Law Revisited, M. Thomas Arnold Jan 1985

The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Law Revisited, M. Thomas Arnold

Cleveland State Law Review

The United States Supreme Court recently decided two cases involving the definition of "security" as used in the federal securities acts. In this brief case comment I will summarize the majority and dissenting opinions in Landreth Timber Co. v. Landreth, and Gould v. Ruefenacht . I will then comment on some of the policy questions raised by the cases, and conclude by evaluating how much guidance the two cases provide on the proper definition of "security".


Section 106 Of The Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act Of 1984 And The Need For Overriding State Legislation, David J. Bleckner Jan 1985

Section 106 Of The Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act Of 1984 And The Need For Overriding State Legislation, David J. Bleckner

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Title I of the 1984 the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act (SMMEA) was designed to remove some of the regulatory barriers that previously inhibited the development of a private market for mortgage-backed securities. Section 106 of Title I, which provided for federal regulation, preempted blue sky laws requiring registration of mortgage-backed securities and regulatory statutes affecting investment in mortgage-backed securities by state-chartered financial institutions. This Note examines whether the states should enact legislation to override the federal preemptions. Initially, this Note provides an overview of the secondary market for home mortgages by examining the factors leading to the enactment of …
