The Law Applicable To A Derivative Action On Behalf Of A Foreign Corporation - Corporate Law In Conflict, Yaad Rotem Apr 2013

The Law Applicable To A Derivative Action On Behalf Of A Foreign Corporation - Corporate Law In Conflict, Yaad Rotem

Cornell International Law Journal

In corporate law, the derivative action mechanism allows minority shareholders and, in certain jurisdictions, single directors or even creditors to file and litigate on behalf of the corporation a lawsuit against an insider or a third party whose action has allegedly injured the corporation. The derivative action is a mechanism that corporate law furnishes to tackle agency problems because the corporate insiders who should initiate such claims occasionally become caught in a conflict of interests. Obviously, each jurisdiction decides whether to employ a derivative action mechanism and on what terms. However, in a globalized world that offers many attractive places …


The Word Commons And Foreign Laws, Thomas O. Main Apr 2013

The Word Commons And Foreign Laws, Thomas O. Main

Cornell International Law Journal

Dual trends are colliding in U.S. courts. The first trend is a tidal wave of cases requiring courts to engage the domestic laws of foreign legal systems; globalization is the principal driver of this escalation. The second trend is a profound and ever-increasing skepticism of our ability to understand foreign law; the literature of pluralism and postmodernism has illuminated the uniquely local, language-dependent, and culturally embedded nature of law. Courts cope with this dissonance by finding some way to avoid the application of foreign law. However, these outcomes are problematic because parties are denied access to court or have their …

Enforceability Of Ad Hoc Arbitration Agreements In China: China’S Incomplete Ad Hoc Arbitration System, Tietie Zhang

Cornell International Law Journal

Today arbitration is the dominant method for resolving international commercial disputes. The international commercial arbitration system based on the New York Convention effectively facilitates resolution of cross-border disputes and contributes to the world's continuing economic development. Ad hoc arbitration has many advantages over institutional arbitration that make it a preferred way to resolve commercial disputes in many contexts. China, an emerging economic superpower, is also an active player in the field of arbitration. The People's Republic of China Arbitration Law (Law), however, requires that parties appoint an arbitration institution in their arbitration agreement. Otherwise, their ad hoc arbitration agreement is …

Bringing Comfort To The Enemy: The Past, Present, And Future Of Habeas Corpus Petitions In Light Of The Formalistic Application Of Boumediene, E. Carlisle Overbey

Cornell International Law Journal

Such trials would hamper the war effort and bring aid and comfort to the enemy. effective fettering of a field commander than to allow the very enemies he is ordered to reduce to submission to call him to account in his own civil courts and divert his efforts and attention from the military offensive abroad to the legal defensive at home. Nor is it unlikely that the result of such enemy litigiousness would be a conflict between judicial and military opinion highly comforting to enemies of the United States.(1)
