Purchase Money Security Interests In The Preference Zone: Questions Answered And Questions Raised By The 1994 Amendments To Bankruptcy Code 547, Timothy R. Zinnecker Jan 1997

Purchase Money Security Interests In The Preference Zone: Questions Answered And Questions Raised By The 1994 Amendments To Bankruptcy Code 547, Timothy R. Zinnecker

Missouri Law Review

In October 1994, Congress approved the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994,' which revised various provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The revisions included two amendments to the preference statute, 11 U.S.C. §547. Historically, a creditor generally could preserve from preference attack an otherwise voidable purchase money security interest if the creditor perfected its security interest no later than the tenth day after the debtor first possessed the collateral. After first discussing the basics of a preference attack on an Article Nine security interest, this article summarizes the leading cases that prompted Congress to amend 11 U.S.C. § 547(c)(3)(B), suggests …

Unlikely Pair: Equitable Construction And The Irc--Supreme Court Construes The Irc To Permit Third Party Standing To Challenge The Tax Collection Activities Of The Irs, An, Robert F. Epperson Jr.

Missouri Law Review

To bring suit against the Internal Revenue Service [hereinafter "Service"] a taxpayer must first cite an act of Congress which waives the Service's protection from lawsuits under the doctrine of sovereign immunity. 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(1) permits an individual to bring an action in the district courts for recovery of taxes alleged to have been wrongfully collected by the federal government. The scope of this section, unfortunately, is in dispute as to who has standing to challenge the collection activities of the Internal Revenue Service. As a general rule, citizens cannot challenge the tax liabilities of a third party There …

Statutory Construction And Judicial Policy-Making Impact Whether Title Vii's Definition Of Employer Imposes Individual Liability Upon An Agent, Cheryl L. Feutz

Missouri Law Review

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 19642 ("Title VII") prohibits employment discrimination Although no question exists that "employers" are liable for their discriminatory acts as well as for their agents' acts that occur within the scope of employment,4 a conflict exists among the federal circuits regarding whether Title VII's definition of "employer" also imposes individual liability upon the employer's agent. The Seventh Circuit answered this question for its circuit in Williams v. Banning.'

The Past, Present, And Future Of Expressive Freedom Under The Charter, Jamie Cameron Jan 1997

The Past, Present, And Future Of Expressive Freedom Under The Charter, Jamie Cameron

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

More than ten years have passed since the Supreme Court of Canada's first interpretation of the Charter's guarantee of expressive freedom in RWDSU v. Dolphin Delivery. This review of the past, present, and future of expressive freedom under the Charter is in three parts. The first-dealing with the past-traces the evolution of a methodology of expressive freedom in the "first generation" of s. 2(b) jurisprudence. It is followed by an examination of the status of expressive freedom at present, through comments on recent Supreme Court landmarks in Dagenais v. Canadian Broadcasting Corp., Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto, and …


What's Law Got To Do With It?: The Protection Of Aboriginal Title In Canada, Patrick Macklem Jan 1997

What's Law Got To Do With It?: The Protection Of Aboriginal Title In Canada, Patrick Macklem

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This essay presents and contrasts two narratives on the past and future of the law of Aboriginal title. The first narrative, drawn from the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, grounds the law of Aboriginal title in inter-societal norms that enabled the mutual coexistence of colonists and settlers in North America. It locates Aboriginal territorial dispossession in colonial policies and practices that failed to conform to the spirit of mutual coexistence, and calls on governments to provide Aboriginal people with lands and resources necessary for self-sufficiency. The counter-narrative describes the law of Aboriginal title as a relatively …


Rethinking The Doctrine Of Legitimate Expectations In Canadian Administrative Law, David Wright Jan 1997

Rethinking The Doctrine Of Legitimate Expectations In Canadian Administrative Law, David Wright

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The author examines recent cases that have transplanted the doctrine of legitimate expectations from British into Canadian law. He concludes that the doctrine has been applied in a confused way in this country, without proper consideration of its "fit" with the Canadian duty of fairness. He argues that the place of the doctrine should be to determine what fairness requires when statements or actions of a decisionmaker have led to a legitimate expectation. The suggestion that it should be an exception to the rule that legislative decisions do not attract the duty of fairness is rejected in favour of a …

Animal Rights Theory And Utilitarianism: Relative Normative Guidance, Gary L. Francione Jan 1997

Animal Rights Theory And Utilitarianism: Relative Normative Guidance, Gary L. Francione

Animal Law Review

Mr. Francione examines the philosophies of Peter Singer and Tom Regan and concludes, in part, that there is nothing in rights theory that necessarily precludes the animal advocate from pursuing incremental legislative or judicial change; however, he asserts that we cannot speak meaningfully of legal rights for animals as long as animals are regarded as property.


Slamming Shut The Ark Doors: Congress's Attack On The Listing Process Of The Endangered Species Act, Jeffrey S. Kopf Jan 1997

Slamming Shut The Ark Doors: Congress's Attack On The Listing Process Of The Endangered Species Act, Jeffrey S. Kopf

Animal Law Review

The 104th Congress legislated a complete moratorium on the listing of species and critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act. Mr. Kopf explores the motivations behind the moratorium and shows how market forces may further weaken the ESA. This article questions whether the moratorium and its subsequent repeal signal a new era of environmental awareness or a return to industry's discreet manipulation of the legislative process.


Airbag Products Liability Litigation: State Common Law Tort Claims Are Not Automatically Preempted By Federal Legislation , Stephen D. Lichtenstein, Gerald R. Ferrera Jan 1997

Airbag Products Liability Litigation: State Common Law Tort Claims Are Not Automatically Preempted By Federal Legislation , Stephen D. Lichtenstein, Gerald R. Ferrera

Cleveland State Law Review

This article addresses an important and recurring issue of federalism, and attempts to resolve the tensions that exist between federal and state laws in the context of recent automobile airbag litigation. The authors trace the evolution of the preemption doctrine as it relates to airbag litigation, and write further as to how manufacturers adapt, developing business and ethical strategies of compliance to concurrent state and federal regulation. Two recent important decisions involving no airbag litigation, Tebbetts v. Ford Motor Co. and Wilson v. Pleasant, are interpretive of two provisions of the Safety Act. The former case discussed a preemption clause, …


Virtual Borders - Some Legal-Geo-Philosophical Musings On Three Globally Significant Fragil Ecosystems Under United Nations' Agenda 21 , Robert F. Blomquist Jan 1997

Virtual Borders - Some Legal-Geo-Philosophical Musings On Three Globally Significant Fragil Ecosystems Under United Nations' Agenda 21 , Robert F. Blomquist

Cleveland State Law Review

The purpose of this article is to use the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development’s Agenda 21 discussion of globally significant fragile ecosystems as an imaginative launching point for some tentative explorations of what a recent Stanford Law Review Symposium terms "law and borders" studies. More specifically, I am interested in sketching and briefly analyzing what I call the "legal-geo-philosophical" characteristics of three examples of globally significant fragile ecosystems addressed in Agenda 21: (1) drylands, (2) mountains, and (3) coastal areas. The article's legal-geo-philosophical analysis, then, is an initial attempt to ponder some of the connections between law, …
