Construing A Treaty Against State Parties' Expressed Intentions: Sanum Investments Ltd V Government Of The Lao People’S Democratic Republic, Mahdev MOHAN, Siraj Shaik AZIZ 2018 Singapore Management University

Construing A Treaty Against State Parties' Expressed Intentions: Sanum Investments Ltd V Government Of The Lao People’S Democratic Republic, Mahdev Mohan, Siraj Shaik Aziz

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The Singapore Court of Appeal’s decision in Sanum Investments Ltd v Government of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic was a landmark one in several respects. A key aspect of this decision though may appear controversial at first blush – that is, the apex court placed less weight on the express views of state parties, even though Singapore itself was not a party to the relevant bilateral investment treaty (“BIT”). While doing so was admittedly “counter-intuitive”, the Court of Appeal did not set out to construe the BIT against the intentions of the contracting states. Rather, much turned on the critical …

What's The "Use": Vehicle Maintenance Liability Barred By Sovereign Immunity Amendment Intended To Promote Waiver, Clayton Kendrick 2018 Mercer University School of Law

What's The "Use": Vehicle Maintenance Liability Barred By Sovereign Immunity Amendment Intended To Promote Waiver, Clayton Kendrick

Mercer Law Review

Local government is an active participant in most communities. It picks up trash weekly, keeps tap water clean, and keeps citizens safe. Local government is the cog that keeps communities running smoothly, and as such, is afforded certain protections. One of those protections is the protection from lawsuits brought by citizens. This is known as the doctrine of sovereign immunity. While local government reaches out into the community to keep citizens comfortable and safe, sovereign immunity keeps citizens from reaching in and exposing the government to liability. At times, however, these protections can seem unjust. In 2002, the Georgia General …

Don’T Let The Bed Bugs Bill: Landlord Liability For Bed Bug Infestations In Georgia, Megan M. Harrison 2018 Georgia State University College of Law

Don’T Let The Bed Bugs Bill: Landlord Liability For Bed Bug Infestations In Georgia, Megan M. Harrison

Georgia State University Law Review

Although the historical relationship between bed bugs and humans dates back to ancient Egypt, the common bed bug, or Cimex lectularius, vanished from the beds of Americans around World War II. In the late 1990s, however, our bloodsucking bedfellows returned. Bed bug infestations are a growing public health issue. Bed bugs are now found in all fifty states, with populations in five states reaching epidemic levels. Both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) consider bed bugs a “pest of significant public health importance."

Despite their name, bed bugs are not limited to …


Not So Good: The Classification Of “Smart Goods” Under Ucc Article 2, Chadwick L. Williams 2018 Georgia State University College of Law

Not So Good: The Classification Of “Smart Goods” Under Ucc Article 2, Chadwick L. Williams

Georgia State University Law Review

Refrigerators can now tweet. Today, almost sixty years after the states widely adopted the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the line between goods and services is more blurred than ever. When the UCC was drafted, a good was the simple opposite of a service. A good was something “movable” and tangible, and a service was not. Article 2 of the UCC, which governs sales, limits its scope to goods.

However, because Article 2 was drafted long before the proliferation of so-called “smart goods,” courts continuously struggle to determine when a smart good falls within Article 2’s scope. Courts have developed different …

Tax Increment Financing In Maine, Michael G. Walker 2018 University of Maine School of Law

Tax Increment Financing In Maine, Michael G. Walker

Maine Law Review

Tax Increment Financing ("TIF") is a statutorily authorized mechanism which enables municipalities to earmark the property tax revenue from designated areas to pay for things such as infrastructure improvement. Lately, Maine municipalities have been using TIF to refund tax revenues directly to private developers in an effort to attract new business. This Comment will begin by briefly explaining the development of TIF in the United States and how it has evolved over time. It will then summarize how TIF works in Maine and the criticism and praise it has received throughout its existence. Next, it will look at research examining …
