The Economic Theory Of Derivative Actions, Diego G. Pardow
The Economic Theory Of Derivative Actions, Diego G. Pardow
Diego G. Pardow
This paper offers a model to formalize the economic theory of derivative actions developed during the last 30 years. From this perspective, the derivative action presents two interrelated problems. The first is how to solve the collective action problem that prevents that minority shareholders file a suit. The second is how to control the risk of collusive settlements between the defendant manager and the plaintiff’s attorney. This model identifies the fundamental tradeoffs that are implicit in these problems, as well as an optimum that could be used as normative benchmark. In brief, it argues that if the goal of derivative …
Ownership Unbundling In European Energy Market & Legal Problems Under Eu Law, Michael Diathesopoulos
Ownership Unbundling In European Energy Market & Legal Problems Under Eu Law, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
In this paper we will examine the issue of ownership unbundling and forced divestiture remedies imposed in a series of recent competition law cases of the energy market - examined in other papers - in relation to the possible existence of a series of legal obstacles. These energy market decisions belong to a group of antitrust cases in which a structural divestiture remedy has been imposed under the provisions of Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003. This divestiture refers to transmission networks and to generation capacity and is meant to lead to severe structural changes, which are compatible with the findings …

Competition Law And Sector Regulation In The European Energy Market After The Third Energy Package: Hierarchy And Efficiency, Michael Diathesopoulos
Competition Law And Sector Regulation In The European Energy Market After The Third Energy Package: Hierarchy And Efficiency, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
The aim of this research is to provide the basic parameters for a model for the definition of the relation between the general competition and sector specific frameworks and rules regarding the regulation of the Internal Energy Market, especially after the Third Energy Package. The research considers the recent sector specific framework in relation to a series of recent competition law cases of the Energy Market where structural remedies were applied under the commitments procedure. Essential facilities doctrine and generally competition law tools do not seem to provide a suitable framework for effectively addressing the dynamic competition concept, treating the …

“Adiantamentos Sobre Lucros No Decurso Do Exercício: Algumas Reflexões” [Interim Dividends In The Course Of The Annual Accounting Period: Some Reflexions], Bruno Ferreira
Bruno Ferreira
A realização de adiantamentos sobre lucros no decurso do exercício ocupa uma posição bastante particular no esquema orgânico-societário das sociedades anónimas. Este facto, conjugado com uma maior atenção que o tema tem recebido recentemente, aconselham a uma reflexão sobre os procedimentos, limites e natureza jurídica de tais distribuições, em especial no confronto com a distribuição de lucros aos accionistas mediante deliberação em assembleia geral.
Advances on profits made in the course of the annual accounting period occupy a somewhat special position on the corporate-organizational structure of sociedades anónimas. This fact, in addition to a recent heightened focus on the matter, …

“The Law Of Corporate Restructuring And Insolvency In Portugal: A Brief Introduction From A Financial Creditor’S Perspective", Bruno Ferreira
Bruno Ferreira
In times of economic slump, the law of restructuring and insolvency, particularly its statutory provisions, assume an indisputable relevance. The involvement of financial creditors in informal and formal restructuring procedures and the eventual ensuing formal insolvency procedures presents significant challenges and risks. This article provides a brief introduction to the law of restructuring and insolvency in Portugal and addresses some of these challenges and risks.

Until late in the twentieth century, internal corporate governance—that is, decision making by the principal constituencies of the firm—was clearly distinct from outside oversight by regulators, auditors and credit rating agencies, and markets. With the 1980s takeover wave and hedge funds’ and equity funds’ more recent involvement in corporate governance, the distinction between inside and outside governance has eroded. The tools of inside governance are now routinely employed by governance outsiders, intertwining the two traditional modes of governance. We argue in this Article that the shift has created a new governance paradigm, which we call inside-out corporate governance.

The Limits Of National Security, Laura K. Donohue
The Limits Of National Security, Laura K. Donohue
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The United States’ National Security Strategy, issued in May 2010, articulates an expansion in U.S. interests that stems from the end of the Cold War. Departing from a policy of industrial growth and military containment in response to geopolitical threats, U.S. national security is now defined in terms of a wide range of potential risks that the country faces. The NSS is not alone in its rather expansive view—one that significantly departs from the perspective adopted at any point in U.S. history. It represents the fourth (and most concerning) epoch in the country’s evolution, and it is beginning to find …

International Jurisdictional Competition Under Globalization: From The U.S. Regulation Of Foreign Private Issuers To Taiwan’S Restrictions On Outward Investment In Mainland China, Chang-Hsien Tsai
Chang-hsien (Robert) TSAI
Drawing a lesson from the story that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act drives away foreign issuers and then their physical exit provokes a change in the U.S. regulation of non-U.S. issuers, this article takes as another case study the phenomenon that Taiwanese firms list shares overseas, to further test how usual law market demand and supply forces (or underlying exit and voice rights) interplay under international jurisdictional competition. Put simply, both cases of the U.S. and Taiwan significantly elaborate that law market forces underlying international jurisdictional competition are similarly at work even on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, globalization strengthens …
