Open wide the floodgates?

Much of the initial media reaction to the recently released Plaut Report on the refugee status determination process unfortunately has given the impression that the changes proposed will in some sense give rise to "gatecrashing" by persons unwilling to comply with ordinary immigration requirements, thereby jeopardizing the ability of Canada to ensure the integrity of its borders. We are told that the adoption of the study's proposals would "encourage purported refugees to arrive here in numbers that would soon overwhelm [the proposed] procedures" (Globe and Mail editorial, June 20, 1985).

This is far from accurate.

Air Carrier Technique For Row Crop Spraying Applications, Dennis G. Watson, Robert L. Wolff Sep 1985

Air Carrier Technique For Row Crop Spraying Applications, Dennis G. Watson, Robert L. Wolff

Articles

This study focuses on the problem of applying spray material to upper-plant, underside-leaf surfaces of corn and soybean plants. Aircraft and ground pressureatomizer applications of spray solution were quantified. Percent coverage values were generally less than 1 % on the sampling locations. Flat and hollow cone nozzle air carrier units were developed and evaluated for spray application to the upper-plant, bottom leaf surface. The air carrier method tested within a shroud improved spray deposition to the entire plant by 100% for corn and 234% for soybeans. Deposition to the upper-plant, bottom leaf surface was increased by 900% and 400% for …

The 'Legalization' Of The Family: Toward A Policy Of Supportive Neutrality, David L. Chambers Jun 1985

The 'Legalization' Of The Family: Toward A Policy Of Supportive Neutrality, David L. Chambers

Articles

The word "legalization" has conflicting meanings. One, intended to sound the theme of this conference, conveys the notion of government regulation permeating some area of human activity. The other-as found, for example, in the phrase "the legalization of marijuana"-is a near opposite: the process of making legal or permissible that which. was previously forbidden, taking government out of that which it had previously controlled. The recent history of government's relationship to the family amply displays both sorts of legalization, both government's intrusion and its withdrawal, and reveals a paradoxical relation between the two-that as government frees people to live their …


A Theory Of Contractual Debt Subordination And Lien Priority, David G. Carlson May 1985

A Theory Of Contractual Debt Subordination And Lien Priority, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article advocates for treating debt subordination agreements as assignments of debt rather than subjecting them to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). This approach would align subordination with economic principles, simplify legal handling, and protect senior creditors' interests by ensuring they receive double dividends in bankruptcy. The author critiques current judicial interpretations that fail to recognize this distinction, leading to unfair outcomes and complicating creditor rights. The proposed framework would clarify debt ownership, dividend distribution, and security interest transfers, while also addressing tax implications and voting rights in reorganizations. The article emphasizes the need for legislative exemptions, …

Freedom From Freedom Of Contract: The Enduring Value Of Servitude Restrictions, Stewart E. Sterk Mar 1985

Freedom From Freedom Of Contract: The Enduring Value Of Servitude Restrictions, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article examines the legal and policy implications of enforcing contractual servitudes that bind successors-in-interest to land, arguing that unrestricted enforcement could lead to significant externalities and transaction costs. While Richard Epstein advocates for maximal contractual freedom, the analysis highlights the need for doctrinal limitations to protect future generations and public interests. The article critiques existing doctrines like the touch and concern requirement, changed conditions doctrine, and durational limitations, proposing reforms to balance private autonomy with broader societal concerns.


Nonparametric Receiver For Fh-Mfsk Mobile Radio, R. Viswanathan, S. C. Gupta Feb 1985

Nonparametric Receiver For Fh-Mfsk Mobile Radio, R. Viswanathan, S. C. Gupta

Articles

Various parametric receivers such as the maximum likelihood and the hard-limiter have been analyzed for their performance in decoding the frequency hopped multilevel FSK (FH-MFSK) messages in mobile environment. Here, some nonparametric receivers such as the maximum rank sum receiver (MRSR) and the reduced rank sum receiver (RRR) are considered. RRR and MRSR are nearly identical in performance, but the former is much simpler to implement. The results indicate that RRR is a competing alternative to the parametric receivers.

Limited Liability And The Corporation, Frank H. Easterbrook, Daniel R. Fischel Jan 1985

Limited Liability And The Corporation, Frank H. Easterbrook, Daniel R. Fischel

Articles

Limited liability is a fundamental principle of corporate law. Yet liability has never been absolutely limited. Courts occasionally allow creditors to "pierce the corporate veil," which means that shareholders must satisfy creditors' claims. "Piercing" seems to happen freakishly. Like lightning, it is rare, severe, and unprincipled. There is a consensus that the whole area of limited liability, and conversely of piercing the corporate veil, is among the most confusing in corporate law.1 We argue to the contrary that economic analysis-in particular the theory of the firm and the economics of insurance-explains the legal treatment of limited liability. Both the rules …
