Erisa: To Sue Or Not To Sue-A Question Of Statutory Standing, Constance L. Bauer
Erisa: To Sue Or Not To Sue-A Question Of Statutory Standing, Constance L. Bauer
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note examines the conflicting authority regarding the scope of section 502(a) of ERISA. There is a fundamental split among the United States Courts of Appeals concerning whether parties not specifically enumerated in section 502(a) have standing to bring civil actions to enforce ERISA's provisions. The Ninth Circuit has held consistently that non-enumerated parties are entitled to sue under ERISA. The Second Circuit, however, repeatedly has held that parties not explicitly specified in section 502(a). do not have standing to bring an action under the Act. This Note addresses the question of whether employers and pension funds, as non-enumerated parties, …

Recent Development--U.S. Legislation To Prosecute Terrorists: Antiterrorism Or Legalized Kidnapping?, Catherine C. Fisher
Recent Development--U.S. Legislation To Prosecute Terrorists: Antiterrorism Or Legalized Kidnapping?, Catherine C. Fisher
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Recent Development examines the jurisdictional bases for the proposed extraterritorial extension of The Terrorist Prosecution Act to crimes that do not occur within the territory of the United States and to persons who are not United States citizens. The historical basis for allowing the prosecution of persons who have been forcibly brought into the court's jurisdiction and constitutional due process concerns that accompany such enforcement means are also detailed. Also discussed is the potential conflict between the Act and United States foreign relations law, particularly with respect to the possible forceful intrusion by the United States upon another state's …
The Emerging Doctrine Of "Forum Non Conveniens": A Comparison Of The Scottish, English And United States Applications, Raymond T. Abbott
The Emerging Doctrine Of "Forum Non Conveniens": A Comparison Of The Scottish, English And United States Applications, Raymond T. Abbott
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note will first examine the development of "forum non conveniens" in Scotland, the country of the doctrine's origin. It will compare the doctrine to the traditional English policy of staying proceedings in situations involving vexation or oppression, and examine how the liberalization of the English policy has led ultimately to the recognition of forum non conveniens as an appropriate description for the factors an English court will consider prior to a dismissal or stay of an action. Similarly, the doctrine of forum non conveniens in the United States will be compared with the doctrines in the other two jurisdictions, …

Analyzing Claims Of Sovereignty In International Economic Disputes, Spencer Weber Waller, Alan M. Simon
Analyzing Claims Of Sovereignty In International Economic Disputes, Spencer Weber Waller, Alan M. Simon
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The extraterritorial application of national laws has become a battle ground over the last forty years for both private parties and states, who are either seeking to enforce their laws or to protect their nationals and their own interests. The conflicts have been most intense over the application of economic regulation to international business conduct where the situs and the effects of the conduct may be quite difficult to locate within the borders of any single state. Often, the United States has sought to enforce its laws when conduct abroad by foreign nationals adversely affected its interests. The intention of …

Establishing Locus Standi Under Article 173(2) Of The Eec Treaty, Edward J. Tabaczyk
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Article 173 of the Treaty of Rome allows natural and legal persons to obtain judicial review of certain legal acts of the Council or Commission of the European Economic Community (EEC Council or Commission). Specifically, Article 173(2) allows nonaddressees of a decision or a decision in the form of a regulation to petition the Court of Justice of the European Community (the European Court) for an annulment of the legal act on one of four grounds. Before an application for an annulment is admissible, however, the applicant must show that the legal act is of "direct and individual concern" to …
Blocking And Clawing Back In The Name Of Public Policy: The United Kingdom's Protection Of Private Economic Interests Against Adverse Foreign Adjudications, Michael L. Novicoff
Blocking And Clawing Back In The Name Of Public Policy: The United Kingdom's Protection Of Private Economic Interests Against Adverse Foreign Adjudications, Michael L. Novicoff
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Like their common law cousins, the courts of the United Kingdom have long claimed the authority to decline recognition to foreign sovereign acts which pose a threat to their nation's public policy. This Article surveys the British cases in which such discretion has been or might have been exercised, and it concludes that the doctrine is no longer applied in the very instances for which it was developed. Instead, it appears that the doctrine is, in its old age, used merely as a pretext for the advancement of British economic interests at the expense of international comity. A new model …
Callejo V. Bancomer, S.A.: The Need For A Commercial Activity Exception To The Act Of State Doctrine, Bryan J. Blankfield
Callejo V. Bancomer, S.A.: The Need For A Commercial Activity Exception To The Act Of State Doctrine, Bryan J. Blankfield
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The ability of the United States courts to adjudicate claims against foreign sovereigns is limited by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 ("FSIA") and the act of state doctrine. In Dunhill, a plurality of the Court held that the "concept of an act of state should not be extended to include the repudiation of a purely commercial obligation. Recently, the Fifth Circuit in Callejo v. Bancomer, S.A. examined the plurality's commercial activity exception in Dunhill, yet declined to decide whether to adopt the exception with respect to the act of state doctrine. This Note analyzes the commercial activity exception …
