The Banking And Securities Scandals And Fundamental Theories Of Commercial Jurisprudence, Seiji Tanaka, Yutaka Nakamura

Washington International Law Journal

The recent Japanese banking and securities scandals are among the most serious events that the Japanese business community has ever experienced. This article, written by Professor Seiji Tanaka, and translated by Yutaka Nakamura, analyzes these events applying positive laws from Professor Tanaka's standpoint, emphasizing the social responsibilities that corporations should have in Japanese society. The article relies on the basic purposes and provisions of the Japanese Commercial and Civil Codes and establishes organic principles of social responsibility for Japanese corporations to follow. Finally, the article emphasizes that a high standard of conduct, based on these principles of social responsibility, is …

How The East Was Won: A Critique Of U.S. Tactics In Negotiating Patent Protection For Pharmaceuticals In Thailand, Michael Begg May 1993

How The East Was Won: A Critique Of U.S. Tactics In Negotiating Patent Protection For Pharmaceuticals In Thailand, Michael Begg

Washington International Law Journal

In February 1992, Thailand amended its patent law to provide patent protection for drugs. The amendment resulted from pressure by the United States pharmaceutical industry and the United States Trade Representative; it was not a Thai internal policy decision. Bleak prospects in the U.S. drug market due to a climate of increasing restraints on drug prices have led the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association to push for patent protection for their products abroad. Consequently, the United States Trade Representative pressured Thailand to amend its Patent Act to include pharmaceuticals, threatening to use Section 337 of the Trade and Tariff Act of 1930 …

Comparative Law In Perspective, Dan Fenno Henderson Mar 1993

Comparative Law In Perspective, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington International Law Journal

The use and study of comparative law has grown in scope and in importance—and no more so than in the area of commercial exchange between the United States and Japan. Comparative law is being applied more practically in the Courts; it is an agent of change and of harmonization between different peoples and economies. However, the respective concepts of law and its role in society, as well as the role of language in understanding the law, continue to make the use and study of comparative law a challenge. A real sensitivity to the cultural, structural and conceptual differences in the …


Philippine Foreign Investment Efforts: The Foreign Investments Act And The Local Governments Code, John F. Pierce Mar 1993

Philippine Foreign Investment Efforts: The Foreign Investments Act And The Local Governments Code, John F. Pierce

Washington International Law Journal

The Philippine Government's efforts to attract foreign direct investments have been ineffectual, especially when compared with the efforts of its Southeast Asian neighbors. Foreign investment incentive legislation has been relatively ineffectual in attracting the investment the Philippines sought due to the ambiguous and arbitrary execution of its investment laws and policies. The Philippine Judiciary's unsettled attitude toward foreign investment further enhanced the overall impression that the Philippines was not a safe or stable investment host country. The Philippines' most recent legislative attempt to lure foreign investment is the Foreign Investments Act of 1991. The Foreign Investments Act goes much further …


From Japan's Death Row To Freedom, Daniel H. Foote Mar 1993

From Japan's Death Row To Freedom, Daniel H. Foote

Washington International Law Journal

In 1975, the Japanese Supreme Court relaxed the standards governing the grant of retrials in criminal cases. Since then four death row inmates have obtained new trials and ultimate vindication through acquittals. The facts of the four cases are compelling: all involved highly publicized murders, rather harsh investigations leading to confessions that the defendants subsequently disavowed, and seemingly routine convictions followed by decades-long struggles by the convicted men to forestall their executions and secure retrials. Each of the men spent over 25 years on death row before the final determination that he had been unjustly convicted. In this article, Professor …

Contract Societies: Japan And The United States Contrasted, Shinichirō Michida, Veronica L. Taylor

Washington International Law Journal

This translation of an original Japanese language work by Michida Shinichirō contrasts the differences between the understanding of contractual obligations in the United States and in Japan. The translation cites specific differences between each country's statutes and case law, as well as distinct cultural factors that are important when considering respective understandings of contract in these societies. Translator's Introductory Note: This translation is intended to give readers an introduction to Japanese contract law theory and its operation in that society. Professor Shinichirō Michida was writing for a general audience in Japan, not simply for those with legal training. One of …


Establishing A Stock Corporation In Japan After The 1990 Revision Of The Commercial Code, Bruce W. Maclennan Mar 1993

Establishing A Stock Corporation In Japan After The 1990 Revision Of The Commercial Code, Bruce W. Maclennan

Washington International Law Journal

The most recent revision of the laws governing the incorporation of a kabushiki kaisha—stock corporation—in Japan brought an increased capitalization requirement, made it possible for one person to perform the incorporation, and removed the necessity of having a court-appointed inspector examine certain transactions undertaken in the process of incorporation. Additionally, FECL and Anti-Monopoly Law reporting requirements for inward direct investments have recently been liberalized. These and other revisions designed to increase creditor protection and streamline the process have changed incorporation procedures considerably. This comment examines these statutory changes and describes in detail the process of incorporating a subsidiary of …
