Comparative Analysis Of American And Chinese Letter Of Credit Law: To Mitigate Or Not To Mitigate That Is The Question, Jingen Wang, Larry A. Dimatteo Dec 2023

Comparative Analysis Of American And Chinese Letter Of Credit Law: To Mitigate Or Not To Mitigate That Is The Question, Jingen Wang, Larry A. Dimatteo

Journal of International Business and Law

Under American and Chinese law, the duty of the non-breaching party to mitigate damages is a core principle of general contract law. In the United States, an exception is found in letters of credit law where the beneficiary party has no such duty when an issuing bank (issuer) wrongfully dishonors payment under a letter of credit (LC). The beneficiary may recover the face amount dishonored plus any other losses recoverable under applicable law. The rationale for not applying the general duty of mitigation to letters of credit (LCs) is the independence principle, which asserts that the LC transaction is independent …


Where Is The Action? Choosing Securities Joinder Action Over Securities Class Action In Korea, Joon Buhm Lee Dec 2023

Where Is The Action? Choosing Securities Joinder Action Over Securities Class Action In Korea, Joon Buhm Lee

Journal of International Business and Law

Investor plaintiffs, or the attorneys who represented such plaintiffs, could pursue securities fraud claims as a joinder or class action after Korea enacted the Securities-related Class Action Act of 2005 (“SCAA”). Nevertheless, as time revealed, not many class action cases were filed. Research shows that investors are filing securities fraud actions as joinder actions. Not only are the investor plaintiffs filing, but many of them are winning. This article argues that such filings are rational choices made by risk-neutral plaintiffs and plaintiffs’ attorneys. Because the rules for filing a joinder action and a class action differ in various aspects, the …

French Tort Law Reform: A Rapprochement To Other Legal Systems?, Dimitra Tsiaklagkanou Mar 2023

French Tort Law Reform: A Rapprochement To Other Legal Systems?, Dimitra Tsiaklagkanou

Journal of International Business and Law

The revision of French tort law is proving to be a long process, starting with a first draft by the working group directed by Pierre Catala and Geneviève Viney in 2005, and only reaching a proposed new law tabled by Senators in 2020. The need for revision arose due to the silence of the current French Civil Code on tortious liability, which was mainly developed over the last two centuries by the jurisprudence, while only five such articles can be found. The intended revision of French tort law looks beyond the codification of jurisprudential solutions and towards legal innovations. This …


Once Bitten, Twice Shy -- Multiple Voting Shares In Continental Europe, Jorge Brito Pereira Mar 2023

Once Bitten, Twice Shy -- Multiple Voting Shares In Continental Europe, Jorge Brito Pereira

Journal of International Business and Law

Over the last decade, several jurisdictions in continental Europe have lifted regulatory restrictions on multiple voting shares (hereinafter “MVS”) in the form of dual-class share structures and/or loyalty shares. Though more heterogenous than coherent, all such reforms have been overly conservative and fall short of allowing the legal freedom of jurisdictions such as the United States and the United Kingdom. This approach may be difficult to understand in a globalized environment of regulatory and stock-exchange competition. This paper explores the reasons for the common conservative approach, which appear to lie mostly in early 20th-century experiences of multiple voting rights in …

Monopolistic Excessive Pricing As An "Esg Violation", Lior Frank Mar 2023

Monopolistic Excessive Pricing As An "Esg Violation", Lior Frank

Journal of International Business and Law

ESG (environmental, social, and governance) considerations are on the rise, and corporations that fail to adequately address and implement them in their business agenda are exposed to legal risks and liabilities. Such social considerations weaken the prevalent notion that the paramount purpose of the corporation is to maximize its shareholders’ wealth, even at the expense of the stakeholders’ (e.g., consumers) interests. In this ‘new era’ of ESG, corporations are compelled to take stakeholders’ interests into account, otherwise, they might face legal action. Accordingly, this article contends that monopolistic excessive pricing, which is currently deemed lawful under U.S. antitrust law, should …

The Global Relevance Of The Eu Single Market On Insurance After The Insurance Distribution Directive (Idd), Pierpaolo Marano Dec 2021

The Global Relevance Of The Eu Single Market On Insurance After The Insurance Distribution Directive (Idd), Pierpaolo Marano

Journal of International Business and Law

The amount of insurance premiums collected within the European Union places this market among the world leaders. Although insurance regulation is still partly national, the European Union's effort to introduce harmonized rules between the Member States has intensified since the financial crisis. This essay intends to highlight the global relevance assumed by the regulatory framework of the European Union. The introduced set of rules arises from the principles established internationally and, in turn, influences these principles. Thus, the EU regulatory framework on insurance is relevant to understand the potential evolution of the international standards on insurance. The analysis focuses on …

Relational Contracting In International Commercial Trade, Kathryn St. John Mar 2021

Relational Contracting In International Commercial Trade, Kathryn St. John

Journal of International Business and Law

Recent free-trade agreement negotiations have raised concerns about the effect of free-trade agreements on sovereignty, democracy, and the rule of law. An often-repeated concern is that harmonization provisions, which seek to achieve regulatory equivalence, will jeopardize domestic standards. These concerns may be overcome through regulatory governance and cooperation. Mechanisms which seek to promote regulatory cooperation, such as the exchange of information following ex ante monitoring of goods, enable states to protect their own standards while positively influencing the regulations of their trading partners. Moreover, mechanisms promoting regulatory cooperation can enhance democracy since they require consultation and publication of information. These …
