Can 10b-5 For The Banks? The Effect Of An Antifraud Rule N The Regulation Of Banks, Michael P. Malloy Jan 1993

Can 10b-5 For The Banks? The Effect Of An Antifraud Rule N The Regulation Of Banks, Michael P. Malloy

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

In this Article, Professor Malloy explores the effects of the federal securities antifraud rule on the regulation of banks. In particular, he focuses on the changes in regulation of commercial bank trust department activities that followed the revelations in Texas Gulf Sulphur of alleged tipping between the commercial and trust departments of a major New York bank. He also argues that federal bank regulatory policy has now turned away from disclosure-oriented regulation in favor of capital supervision, and that this may be a mistaken approach to the regulation of banking.

Multiple Sources Of Consumer Law And Enforcement (Or: 'Still In Search Of A Uniform Policy'), Ralph J. Rohner

Scholarly Articles

In 1972 the National Commission on Consumer Finance surveyed and made recommendations for improving the legal and marketplace environments for consumer credit. Twenty years later, industry, consumer groups, government agencies, and the national and state legislatures are still groping for a coherent approach to the regulation of consumer credit. It is time for another national commission, or similar group, to make an objective and informed assessment of appropriately uniform policy for consumer financial services, and to craft a blueprint for future developments.

Bank Holding Company Act: Has It Lived Its Life, The , Carl Felsenfeld Jan 1993

Bank Holding Company Act: Has It Lived Its Life, The , Carl Felsenfeld

Faculty Scholarship

The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHCA) "regulates the acquisition of state and national banks by bank holding companies." The BHCA also regulates the nonbanking activities of bank holding companies and their nonbank subsidiaries. The BHCA was enacted and remains on the books for two fundamental reasons: 1) to prevent undue concentration in banking; and 2) to avoid the mixing of banking with other businesses unrelated to banking (generally called "commerce"). Both of these purposes have been or are being discredited, and it is time to ask whether the BHCA should be repealed. On several levels, banking is combined …

Lawyer Liability In Third Party Situations: The Meaning Of The Kaye Scholar Case, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr. Jan 1993

Lawyer Liability In Third Party Situations: The Meaning Of The Kaye Scholar Case, Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr.

All Faculty Scholarship

The Kaye Scholer I case has excited much attention and alarm within the legal profession. 2 It is interpreted as greatly expanding the scope of lawyer liability to third parties and heralding much greater regulatory intervention into the relationship between lawyer and client. In some respects this interpretation is accurate. The Kaye Scholer proceeding is at least a "wake up call" to the legal profession, signalling that lawyers should be much more attentive to their legal and ethical obligations in transactional and regulatory matters. However, there is also much misunderstanding about Kaye Scholer, particularly the supposition that it created novel …

Bank Powers To Sell Annuities, Tamar Frankel Jan 1993

Bank Powers To Sell Annuities, Tamar Frankel

Faculty Scholarship

The conflict over turf between the banking industry and the insurance agents has heated up again. In the 1993 case Variable Annuity Life Ins. Co. v. Clarke, 1 the Fifth Circuit held banks have no power to sell fixed annuities issued by insurance companies in cities with more than 5,000 inhabitants. On June 6, 1994, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to review the decision. 3 Both the Clinton Administration and members of Congress are considering steps toward resolving this issue. Concerned that the flight of high-quality borrowers from the banking system has rendered bank lending increasingly risky, the Comptroller of …
