Collaborative Joint Ventures For Research And Development Where Markets Are Concentrated: The Competition Rules Of The Common Market And The Invalidity Of Contracts, Valentine Korah Jan 1991

Collaborative Joint Ventures For Research And Development Where Markets Are Concentrated: The Competition Rules Of The Common Market And The Invalidity Of Contracts, Valentine Korah

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article describes the concerns of the European Commission's Competition Department about joint ventures for research and development and the problems caused for businessmen by the Commission's practice of exempting rather than clearing agreements that make the market more competitive. National courts may follow the Commission's practice in relation to Article 85(1), and they have no power to exempt. Consequently, ancillary restrictions on conduct that make it worthwhile for a party to contribute to a joint venture may not be enforceable.


The Principles Of Interpretation Applied By The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities And Their Relevance For The Scope Of The Eec Competition Rules, Bastiaan Van Der Esch Jan 1991

The Principles Of Interpretation Applied By The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities And Their Relevance For The Scope Of The Eec Competition Rules, Bastiaan Van Der Esch

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article looks at various aspects in how EEC competition rules have been interpreted by courts. In Part I, I will review some of the more recent examples of cases in different areas of Community law in which the Court has safeguarded the comprehensive character of the Community legal order by means of the teleological method of interpretation. Not surprisingly, the same judicial concern governs the Court's interpretation of Article 85, 86, and 90 of the Treaty. In Part II, after noting a number of past examples of this coherence in the competition cases, I will also try to show …


European Merger Control: The Emerging Administrative Practice Of The Ec Commission, Hans-Jörg Niemeyer Jan 1991

European Merger Control: The Emerging Administrative Practice Of The Ec Commission, Hans-Jörg Niemeyer

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article examines the European Community Council Regulation No. 4064/89 which entered into force in September 1990. The focus of the Commission's activity has been on the definition of a concentration pursuant to article 3 and on the substantive appraisal of concentrations pursuant to article 2. On the basis of the decisions issued within the period under examination, it is possible to discern an emerging administrative practice. Additionally, initial developments of interest are apparent in other areas, such as the notification requirement, thresholds and various procedural matters.


Hud And Housing In The 1990s: Crises In Affordability And Accountability, Michael Allan Wolf Jan 1991

Hud And Housing In The 1990s: Crises In Affordability And Accountability, Michael Allan Wolf

Fordham Urban Law Journal

“Half a century ago, in the Housing Act of 1949, Congress declared optimistically that every American should have access to safe, decent, affordable housing.3 In an effort to realize that ambitious objective, federal lawmakers have devised and bureaucrats have implemented a wide array of housing schemes. One commentator has provided nine categories for what he deems the ‘bewildering variety of housing-related programs:’ 1. a federally regulated mortgage finance system; 2. mortgage insurance; 3. interest rate subsidies to home owners, developers, and landlords; 4. tax deductions for mortgage interest; 5. special depreciation allowances for rental housing; 6. low-rent public housing; 7. …

Fordham Urban Law Journal

September 1990 report of the New York State Commission on Government Integrity calling for "sweeping reforms to our laws to safeguard the public sector from the pressures brought to bear by private sector special interests and to reduce the temptation of officials to abuse their trust." In this "blueprint," the Commission identified several aspects of state government requiring legal and ethical reform, including: - campaign finance contribution limits, disclosure requirements, the public funding option, and ineffective enforcement by the State Board of Elections; - political influence in the judicial selection process; - limitations of the Ethics in Government Act; - …

Integrity And Ethical Standards In New York State Government: Final Report To The Governor, New York State Commission On Government Integrity

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Some of these recommendations can be implemented by executive order; others require action by the New York State Legislature. Most of the recommendations would impose no …


Felony Murder And Child Abuse: A Proposal For The New York Legislature, Barry Bendetowies Jan 1991

Felony Murder And Child Abuse: A Proposal For The New York Legislature, Barry Bendetowies

Fordham Urban Law Journal

"Lisa Steinberg's head was hit so hard her injuries matched those of a person who had fallen out of a three-story window. Over the course of three months, investigators believed that Jessica Cortez was beaten numerous times with fists, a ruler, and a belt by her mother's companion who, in addition, sexually abused her. Lisa and Jessica are only two of the many New York City children who have died as a result of child abuse in recent years; at least 126 other children died at the hands of abusive adults in 1988 alone. This alarming and ever increasing statistic …

This Note then analyzes the issue of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I Section 11 of the New York Constitution.

Rule 11: Where We Are And Where We Are Going, Georgene M. Vairo Jan 1991

Rule 11: Where We Are And Where We Are Going, Georgene M. Vairo

Fordham Law Review

Professor Vairo discusses the compelling need to amend Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. She demonstrates that the rule is being used to limit advocacy in the federal courts, particularly in civil rights, employment discrimination, and other types of "disfavored" caes, and that it is creating wasteful satellite litigation. Lastly, she argues that three recent Supreme Court cases indicate that the Court is unwilling to address the problems caused by Rule 11. Professor Vairo thus advocates that the Federal Rules' Advisory Committee revise the rule by adopting the approach of the Bench-Bar Proposal.

The U.S. Law Of Client Confidentiality: Framework For An International Perspective, Charles W. Wolfram Jan 1991

The U.S. Law Of Client Confidentiality: Framework For An International Perspective, Charles W. Wolfram

Fordham International Law Journal

In this Article, I will consider two general areas of the U.S. law of confidentiality. In Part I, I will reflect briefly upon what I call “the U.S. culture of lawyer-client confidentiality.” I say “culture” rather than “cult,” and one must guard against temptations to confuse those concepts. Those reflections will serve as background—by way of both match and contrast—to my sketch of the U.S. law of confidentiality in Part II.


In Re Harrods Ltd.: The Brussels Convention And The Proper Application Of Forum Non Conveniens To Non-Contracting States, Adam R. Schwartz Jan 1991

In Re Harrods Ltd.: The Brussels Convention And The Proper Application Of Forum Non Conveniens To Non-Contracting States, Adam R. Schwartz

Fordham International Law Journal

Although the doctrine of forum non conveniens is unknown in Continental legal systems, Community law does not prevent English courts from preserving their discretion to stay proceedings, in conflicts involving a defendant domiciliary, in favor of more appropriate courts in a non-Contracting State. Where the provisions of the Brussels Convention do not address a legal question, the answer must be sought in the objectives and scheme of the Convention. The English Court of Appeals in Harrods properly understood that Community law does not require ritualistic reliance on the Convention's jurisdiction conferring provisions in cases involving a defendant domiciled in a …


Natural Law And The Law Of Nations: Some Theoretical Considerations, James V. Schall, S.J. Jan 1991

Natural Law And The Law Of Nations: Some Theoretical Considerations, James V. Schall, S.J.

Choosing Law For Attributing Liability Under The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act: A Proposal For Uniformity, Sandra Engle Jan 1991

Choosing Law For Attributing Liability Under The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act: A Proposal For Uniformity, Sandra Engle

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that federal common law should determine all attribution of liability issues in actions brought under the FSIA. Part I discusses the FSIA, its history and policies, and the sole U.S. Supreme Court decision to discuss the proper choice of law approach for attribution of liability under the FSIA. Part II examines subsequent cases that have either followed or distinguished the Supreme Court's choice of law approach in deciding questions of agency or respondeat superior. Part III argues that congressional intent demands the application of federal common law to determine questions of attribution of liability in actions brought …


The Problem Of The State In Centesimus Annus, Russell Hittinger Jan 1991

The Problem Of The State In Centesimus Annus, Russell Hittinger

Fordham International Law Journal

Part I will examine some salient differences between Rerum Novarum and Centesimus Annus with respect to the nature of the political state. In Part II, we will take up the problem of rights. In particular, we shall ask why the encyclical never mentions the term “natural law” even though it contains several enthusiastic references to natural rights. I conclude by taking a broader measure of the discussion, especially in terms of the cultural and religious issues.
