Computer Retrieval – Drawing The Line?, Paul Thomas May 1984

Computer Retrieval – Drawing The Line?, Paul Thomas

Dalhousie Law Journal

The Master of the Rolls in England, Sir John Donaldson, said recently that he feared the use of a proliferation of useless materials from computers in presentations before the Court. He was probably echoing what Lord Diplock had to say for the House of Lords in Roberts Petroleum Ltd. v. Bernard Kenny Ltd.

The International Application Of The Second Computer Inquiry, Robert M. Frieden

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article chronicles the FCC's attempt to confront the confluence of telecommunications and data processing technologies by fashioning a regulatory scheme designed primarily for the United States. The Commission has chosen to apply this scheme, without significant qualification, internationally.

After reviewing the international problems created by the Commission's application abroad of its newly developed scheme, this article concludes with recommendations for resolving these conflicts that currently threaten the well-being of carriers, customers, and international …

A recent article concerning small computers demonstrates the point. "If the aircraft industry had developed as spectacularly as the computer industry over the past twenty-five years, a Boeing 767 …
