The State Farm Punitive Damage Multiplier In The Courts: Early Returns, Charles S. Doskow Jan 2004

The State Farm Punitive Damage Multiplier In The Courts: Early Returns, Charles S. Doskow

St. Thomas Law Review

On May 22, 1981, on a two-lane highway in rural Utah, Curtis Campbell attempted to pass six tractor-trailers.' He was not successful. When the wreckage cleared, the driver of an oncoming car was dead, the driver of one of the cars in line ahead of him was paralyzed, and the United States Supreme Court's punitive damages jurisprudence suddenly exploded. In one fell swoop, the United States Supreme Court, with the aid of the bad faith of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company ("State Farm"), led by the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, accomplished what the business community of …

Protecting The Perception Of The Public Markets: At What Costs - The Effects Of Noisy Withdrawal On The Long Standing Attoney-Corporate Client Relationship, Todd J. Canni

St. Thomas Law Review

"Sarbanes-Oxley," this phrase has echoed in the minds of corporate attorneys for almost two years now. Over this period of time, most corporate attorneys have come to recognize the general breadth of this Act. Aside from having a basic understanding, however, do corporate attorneys know the true effects this Act and the corresponding proposal will have on the legal profession and the companies they represent? The scope of this article is concerned with just that. Specifically, this examination concerns the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed "noisy withdrawal" provision. Briefly, noisy withdrawal refers to the final measures an attorney would …

Catastrophic Financial Failures: Enron And More, Geoffrey P. Miller Jan 2004

Catastrophic Financial Failures: Enron And More, Geoffrey P. Miller

Faculty Articles

One can only try to understand how the catastrophes happened in the hope of avoiding them in the future. This Article looks across these six cases-WorldCom, Enron, Lincoln Savings, HIH, EIEI, and BCCI-and attempts to identify common threads that might help prevent similar disasters in the future. Each of these six events was a complex phenomenon with its own etiology, development, and resolution. Discussing any one of them in detail, much less comparing all six, is beyond the scope of this Article, which hopes only to touch upon some of the apparent common features that, upon further inquiry, might yield …

Pslra, Slusa, And Defrauded Retirement Investors: Overlooked Side Effects Of A Potent Legislative Medicine, Michael J. Borden

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This Article highlights a harmful and far-reaching unintended consequence of two major pieces of securities litigation reform legislation that were passed as part of the Republican party's Contract with America in the mid-1990s. These reforms were justified, in part, on the grounds that they would benefit investors by improving disclosure of financial information by corporations. However, for many aggrieved investors, the effect of the legislation was just the opposite. Because of inadequate and misleading disclosures made by life insurance companies and their registered representatives, consumers were induced to purchase inappropriate investments carrying excessive fees that reduced the value of their …

"Tax Services" As A Trojan Horse In The Auditor Independence Provisions Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Matthew J. Barrett Jan 2004

"Tax Services" As A Trojan Horse In The Auditor Independence Provisions Of Sarbanes-Oxley, Matthew J. Barrett

Journal Articles

This article argues that the failure of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOx) to prohibit auditors for public companies from also providing tax services to audit clients or their executives and selling tax shelters to anyone remains a Trojan horse that threatens both the investing public and the auditing profession. Although SOx enacted several reforms designed to enhance auditor independence, the legislation and implementing regulations that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) subsequently promulgated allow an auditor for a publicly traded company to provide tax services to the company as long as the audit committee preapproves the engagement.

As the …
