The February 27, 2018, Supreme Court argument in United States v. Microsoft Corp. raises profound questions about issues of executive power, corporate governance, technology, judicial power and international affairs. At stake for the government is the scope of its investigative authority to obtain information located in a foreign country, irrespective of that country’s laws. At stake for Microsoft is its ability to organize its international corporate affairs and the predictability of the laws that will govern those affairs.

The Hampel Committee Report: A Transatlantic Critique, Jayne W. Barnard Apr 1998

The Hampel Committee Report: A Transatlantic Critique, Jayne W. Barnard

Popular Media

The Hampel Report is disappointing, however, in three respects: the report lacks concrete models; its reliance on the AGM as a mechanism of reform is misplaced; and its failure to recognize internal monitoring programs as an essential element of good corporate governance is shortsighted.
