Dudenhoeffer: Why Concealment Of Fraud Violates The Fiduciary Duty-Of-Prudence, Kolton G. Whitmire Jan 2021

Dudenhoeffer: Why Concealment Of Fraud Violates The Fiduciary Duty-Of-Prudence, Kolton G. Whitmire

American University Business Law Review

I. INTRODUCTION

In 1974, Congress sought to encourage a form of a retirement fund known as an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). The statutory mandates of these plans are outlined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). ESOPs are invested in stock of the company in which the employee works. In this way, ESOP planners’ (“plan fiduciaries”) obligations are necessarily unique. Whereas most fiduciaries are required to prudently diversify investments to protect their beneficiaries, ESOP planners are not similarly mandated. Further, Congress allows ESOP planners to concurrently be officers of the corporation in which the stock was invested. This …


Shifting Contour Of Data Sharing In Financial Market And Regulatory Responses: The Uk And Australian Models, Han-Wei Liu Jan 2021

Shifting Contour Of Data Sharing In Financial Market And Regulatory Responses: The Uk And Australian Models, Han-Wei Liu

American University Business Law Review

I. INTRODUCTION

Starting from Directive 2015/2366 on Payment Services in the Internal Market — known as PSD II in the European Union (EU) — countries across the world have or are contemplating a new framework to govern data sharing among different players in the financial market. “Open Banking,” as this trend is called, requires or encourages — depending on the regulatory models adopted in different jurisdictions — banks to share consumer-permissioned banking data with third parties securely, in a form that facilitates its use. The Open Banking initiatives have diffused from the EU, and the UK, to elsewhere. The current …

Two Minutes For Unfair Restraint: How The Nhl-Chl Player Transfer Agreement Serves As A Catalyst For Abuse Of Dominance, Alex Dourian

American University Business Law Review

I. INTRODUCTION

The NHL-CHL Player Transfer Agreement (“Agreement”) is an arrangement between the National Hockey League (“NHL”) and Canadian Hockey League (“CHL”). It stipulates that an NHL club must return any CHL player drafted and signed to an NHL entry-level contract (“ELC”) to his CHL club if the NHL club does not retain that player on its active roster at the start of the season. The Agreement applies solely to CHL players ages 18 and 19. Its language limits the ability of these players to play in alternative leagues around the world and thus capture adequate compensation pursuant to their …


“Sacrifice And Recoupment” In The Antitrust Analysis Of Patent Settlements: Actavis Through The Lens Of Brooke Group, Aspen Skiing, And Trinko, Bryan Gant Jan 2021

“Sacrifice And Recoupment” In The Antitrust Analysis Of Patent Settlements: Actavis Through The Lens Of Brooke Group, Aspen Skiing, And Trinko, Bryan Gant

American University Business Law Review

Patent settlements are typically procompetitive, benefiting not only the settling parties but also the courts and the general public. But in rare cases patent settlements might instead harm competition, and thus raise antitrust concerns. How are courts to determine when antitrust scrutiny should — and, more importantly, should not — be applied to patent settlements? The answer ostensibly came in the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in FTC v. Actavis, Inc. Under Actavis, antitrust scrutiny of patent settlements may “sometimes” be appropriate where there is a “large,” “unexplained” “reverse payment” from the patentee to the patent challenger. Unless, that is, the …

Prosecuting Foreign Bribery In National Projects: A Multi-Phased Approach To Reduce Corruption, Julia E. Johnson Jan 2020

Prosecuting Foreign Bribery In National Projects: A Multi-Phased Approach To Reduce Corruption, Julia E. Johnson

American University Business Law Review

The gradual establishment of an international mechanism to review and prosecute allegations of corruption could help to deter fraudulent conduct. Fraudulent conduct often reduces the economic benefits associated with large-scale development or investment projects. These projects are generally awarded through contract bidding; the bidding outcome may be dictated by bribery and other corrupt behaviors by local officials overseeing the project. The money earmarked for the project may in turn be siphoned off to the bribe recipients for private gain, leaving citizens unable to appreciate the fruits of any such project. For this reason, reducing corruption should remain a key priority. …
