Comply-And-Explain: Should Directors Have A Duty To Inform?, John C. Wilcox
Comply-And-Explain: Should Directors Have A Duty To Inform?, John C. Wilcox
Law and Contemporary Problems
Wilcox discusses the compliance of the duty to inform of directors of publicly held companies. The expected long-term impact of a duty to inform would be to "operationalize" corporate governance policies and accustom boards to provide greater transparency about their deliberations and decisions on matters relating to governance, business oversight, and strategy. Regardless of whether a directors' duty to inform can be inferred from the Model Business Corporation Act or other provisions of state law, it could be implemented through the adoption of a charter or bylaw amendment initiated by the board or by shareholders.
Safe Harbor For Officer Reliance: Comparing The Approaches Of The Model Business Corporation Act And Delaware’S General Corporation Law, R. Franklin Balotti, Megan W. Shaner
Safe Harbor For Officer Reliance: Comparing The Approaches Of The Model Business Corporation Act And Delaware’S General Corporation Law, R. Franklin Balotti, Megan W. Shaner
Law and Contemporary Problems
Balotti and Shaner discuss the duties of and potential for imposing liability on corporate officers. The fiduciary duties of officers is addressed, in differing degrees, under Delaware law, the law frequently applied to corporate-governance disputes, and under the Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA). In discharging their fiduciary duties, directors under both the MBCA and the General Corporation Law are generally protected from personal liability if, in making business decisions, they reasonably rely on the reports and records of officers, employees, advisors, and experts of the corporation.
Disclosure Provisions Of The Model Business Corporation Act, Stanley Keller
Disclosure Provisions Of The Model Business Corporation Act, Stanley Keller
Law and Contemporary Problems
Keller discusses the "duty of disclosure" provision of the Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA). The development of disclosure requirements through decisional law rather than through statutory prescriptions highlights the important question of when corporate law should be codified legislatively and when it should be left to case-by-case judicial development. The American Bar Association's Committee on Corporate Laws ("the Committee") confronted this question when considering disclosure requirements as part of its continuing evaluation of the MBCA.
Director Confidentiality, Cyril Moscow
Director Confidentiality, Cyril Moscow
Law and Contemporary Problems
The Corporate Directors Guidebook contains the bare proposition that a director must keep confidential all matters involving the corporation that have not been disclosed to the public. Moscow explores the need to modify the flat recitation of a rule of director confidentiality in light of the limited authority for a blanket restriction, and the necessary exceptions in the business contexts in which the issue arises. In particular, many situations do not involve damage to the corporation, or there is express or implied consent to the sharing of information.
Legal Capital And The Model Business Corporation Act: An Essay For Bayless Manning, James J. Hanks Jr.
Legal Capital And The Model Business Corporation Act: An Essay For Bayless Manning, James J. Hanks Jr.
Law and Contemporary Problems
Hanks discusses the distribution provisions of the Model Business Corporation Act. The relatively smooth operation and interpretation of the MBCA's distribution provisions is an excellent example of the reflection, sophistication, care, and skill of the Committee on Corporate Laws in considering, drafting, revising, and updating the Model Business Corporation Act over the past sixty years. The overall success of the distribution provisions is a tribute to the many lawyers, judges, and law professors who have participated in the Committee's very successful efforts to advance the law of corporations in this country and elsewhere.
An Appraisal Of The Model Business Corporation Act’S Appraisal Rights Provisions, Mary Siegel
An Appraisal Of The Model Business Corporation Act’S Appraisal Rights Provisions, Mary Siegel
Law and Contemporary Problems
Siegel examines four fundamental differences between the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA). In the area of shareholder appraisal rights, the two statutes are diametrically opposed on many key elements. Most notably, MBCA chapter 13 on appraisal rights differs from Delaware's statutory appraisal provisions in four fundamental respects: 1. events that will trigger a shareholder's right to demand appraisal, 2. timing of the corporation's payment to shareholders demanding appraisal rights, 3. allocation of court costs and shareholder expenses, and 4. whether the market-out exception to appraisal rights is limited only to appraisal-triggering transactions that are …

The Case For Iterative Statutory Reform: Appraisal And The Model Business Corporation Act , Robert B. Thompson
Law and Contemporary Problems
Appraisal may be the Model Business Corporation Act's (MBCA) most distinctive and creative corporate law product in its sixty year history. Through a series of changes, beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and continuing through revisions in 1999 and 2006, the MBCA has shown the value that can come from an ongoing revision process of corporate law. Thompson examines the challenges that have long plagued appraisal statutes, and then evaluating the product that has resulted from the MBCA approach.

Toward A Cosmopolitan Ethic In Debt Restructuring, Carmen Amalia Corrales
Toward A Cosmopolitan Ethic In Debt Restructuring, Carmen Amalia Corrales
Law and Contemporary Problems
Corrales discusses the sovereign debt restructuring process. Process -- or the series of actions, actors, and influences involved in a transaction -- is rarely examined in law. But the dynamics of process and the unspoken codes that affect it are, nonetheless, key to complex transactions and sovereign debt restructuring.

Competition In The Underwriting Markets Of Sovereign Debt: The Baring Crisis Revisited, Juan H. Flores
Competition In The Underwriting Markets Of Sovereign Debt: The Baring Crisis Revisited, Juan H. Flores
Law and Contemporary Problems
Flores discusses the bargaining power of Argentina's federal government relative to that of the underwriting banks. It examines how the financial intermediaries' gatekeeping function eroded when faced with increased competition. Under normal circumstances, underwriters should have impeded Argentinean access to capital markets or at least hardened the terms under which Argentina could borrow.
