Causation And Injury In Corporate Control Transactions: Cede & Co. V. Technicolor, Inc., Jacqueline M. Veneziani Oct 1994

Causation And Injury In Corporate Control Transactions: Cede & Co. V. Technicolor, Inc., Jacqueline M. Veneziani

Washington Law Review

In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court held that shareholders are not required to prove injury from corporate directors' failure to exercise due care in approving a merger transaction. Tort principles, the court stated, have no role in a business judgment rule analysis. Therefore, once shareholders prove a violation of the directors' duty of care, the burden is shifted to the directors to prove the entire fairness of the transaction despite the absence of a breach of the duty of loyalty. This Note argues that the entire fairness review of a disinterested board transaction is unworkable. …

Director Conflict Of Interest Under The Model Business Corporation Act: A Model For All States?, Peter E. Kay Jan 1994

Director Conflict Of Interest Under The Model Business Corporation Act: A Model For All States?, Peter E. Kay

Washington Law Review

The American Bar Association has adopted a new model director conflict of interest statute based on bright-line definitions and a rigid preclusion of judicial review. This Comment examines the statute and provides revisions that are necessary for the statute to operate as the drafters intended. The Comment also challenges the merits of the statute by arguing that its reliance on disinterested director approval procedures is an inadequate safeguard for shareholders and its emphasis on large corporations renders the statute unsuitable for the majority of corporations.

Unpacking Limited Liability: Direct And Vicarious Liability Of Corporate Participants For Torts Of The Enterprise, Robert B. Thompson Jan 1994

Unpacking Limited Liability: Direct And Vicarious Liability Of Corporate Participants For Torts Of The Enterprise, Robert B. Thompson

Vanderbilt Law Review

The corporate form limits the liability of shareholders and other participants arising from the enterprise. This broad insulation shields corporate participants not only from vicarious liability for the acts of others, but even from liability for some of their own acts taken in the corporate name. The liability that is avoided does not disap- pear into a black hole; it falls onto another person. If the liability is shifted to a tort victim, the use of the corporate form seems particularly troublesome, permitting the enterprise to externalize part of the cost of doing business. This limitation seems inconsistent with the …

The Public Pays, The Corporation Profits: The Emasculation Of The Public Purpose Doctrine And A Not-For-Profit Solution, Dale F. Rubin

University of Richmond Law Review

Massive subsidies by state and local governments to private corporations for the purpose of inducing such corporations to retain or locate facilities in their respective locales are attracting greater public scrutiny. Commentators are beginning to question whether the public entity receives benefits anywhere near the value of the subsidy. In Virginia, where Governor George Allen proposed giving the Walt Disney Corporation $163 million in subsidies to establish a theme park, the public responded with bumper stickers that read "Virginia Pays-Disney Profits."

Incentives For Peace And Profits: Federal Legislation To Encourage U.S. Enterprises To Invest In Arab-Israeli Joint Ventures, Daniel Lubetzky
