A Social Networks Theory Of Privacy, Lior Strahilevitz Jan 2005

A Social Networks Theory Of Privacy, Lior Strahilevitz

Articles

What facts are public and what facts are private? It is the fundamental, first-principles question in privacy law, and a necessary element in the two most important privacy torts public disclosure of private facts and intrusion upon seclusion. This paper argues that insights from the literature on social networks and information dissemination can help provide courts with a coherent and consistent methodology for determining whether an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in a particular fact that he has shared with one or more persons. The social networks literature has generated theoretical and empirical insights about the probability that …

Substantive Consolidation Today, Douglas G. Baird Jan 2005

Substantive Consolidation Today, Douglas G. Baird

Articles

In large corporate reorganizations, bankruptcy judges often confirm plans of reorganization that call for "substantive consolidation" of the different corporate entities comprising the corporate group. Substantive consolidation allows the general creditors of the various entities to share in a common pool of assets; it often simplifies a reorganization and wins broad support among the creditors. Nevertheless, a statutory basis for the doctrine is hard to find, and the lower court practice is often at odds with the doctrine as spelled out in appellate court opinions. The emerging debate over the proper scope of substantive consolidation shows how much bankruptcy law …


Serial Entrepreneurs And Small Business Bankruptcies, Douglas G. Baird, Edward Morrison Jan 2005

Serial Entrepreneurs And Small Business Bankruptcies, Douglas G. Baird, Edward Morrison

Articles

Chapter 11 is thought to preserve the going-concern surplus of a financially distressed business-the extra value that its assets possess in their current configuration. Financial distress leads to conflicts among creditors that can lead to inefficient liquidation of a business with going-concern surplus. Chapter 11 avoids this by providing the business with a way of fashioning a new capital structure. This account of Chapter 11 fails to capture what is happening in the typical case. The typical Chapter 11 debtor is a small corporation whose assets are not specialized and rarely worth enough to pay tax claims. There is no …


Credible Coercion, Omri Ben-Shahar, Oren Bar-Gill Jan 2005

Credible Coercion, Omri Ben-Shahar, Oren Bar-Gill

Articles

The ideal of individual freedom and autonomy requires that society provide relief against coercion. In the law, this requirement is often translated into rules that operate "postcoercion" to undo the legal consequences of acts and promises extracted under duress. This Article argues that these ex post antiduress measures, rather than helping the coerced party, might in fact hurt her. When coercion is credible-when a credible threat to inflict an even worse outcome underlies the surrender of the coerced party-ex post relief will only induce the strong party to execute the threatened outcome ex ante, without offering the choice to surrender, …

Derivatives And The Bankruptcy Code: Why The Special Treatment?, Edward Morrison, Franklin R. Edwards Jan 2005

Derivatives And The Bankruptcy Code: Why The Special Treatment?, Edward Morrison, Franklin R. Edwards

Articles

The collapse of Long Term Capital Management ("LTCM' in Fall 1998 and the Federal Reserve Bank's subsequent efforts to orchestrate a bailout raise important questions about the structure of the Bankruptcy Code. The Code contains numerous provisions affording special treatment to financial derivatives contracts, the most important of which exempts these contracts from the "automatic stay" and permits counterparties to terminate derivatives contracts with a debtor in bankruptcy and seize underlying collateral. No other counterparty or creditor of the debtor has such freedom; to the contrary, the automatic stay prohibits them from undertaking any act that threatens the debtor's assets. …
