The Short Road Home From Delaware: Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund V. Chevron, Anne Tucker Oct 2014

The Short Road Home From Delaware: Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund V. Chevron, Anne Tucker

Anne Tucker

One of the biggest Delaware Supreme Court cases of 2013 wasn’t. The Delaware Court of Chancery opinion in Boilermakers Local 154 Retirement Fund v. Chevron Corp., upheld the enforceability of Delaware forum selection clause bylaws unilaterally adopted by corporate boards of directors. It was widely expected that the Delaware Supreme Court would uphold the Court of Chancery’s opinion. However, Plaintiffs dismissed their appeal and moved to dismiss their remaining claims in the Court of Chancery, leaving intact Chancellor Strine’s strong support of forum selection clauses. National Industries Group (Holding) v. Carlyle Investment Managements L.L.C. and TC Group, L.L.C., a 2013 …


Who's The Boss? Unmasking Oversight Liability Within The Corporate Power Puzzle, Anne Tucker Oct 2014

Who's The Boss? Unmasking Oversight Liability Within The Corporate Power Puzzle, Anne Tucker

Anne Tucker

This article explores the competing interests between director authority and accountability within the doctrinal developments underpinning the arguments for and against director oversight liability. The historic losses suffered by companies entangled in the web of subprime mortgages, collateralized debt holdings, and the ensuing credit crisis have brought the role of corporate directors as risk managers under renewed public scrutiny. Directors' authority and their accountability to shareholders are two critical pieces to striking the appropriate balance among the roles, rights, and responsibilities of directors, officers, shareholders, and other corporate constituencies who operate within the corporate power puzzle. Numerous shareholder derivative suits …

Sticking The Landing: Making The Most Of The “Stakeholder Moment”, Kent Greenfield Sep 2014

Sticking The Landing: Making The Most Of The “Stakeholder Moment”, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

This paper illustrates that the shareholder primacy model is still the prevailing model especially as the proponents of the stakeholder model have not come up with a theoretically sound alternative. It is argued that all corporations' principal stakeholders should be protected by the imposition of fiduciary duties on managerial decision makers. Homogeneity on corporate boards can reinforce thinking that leads to bad decision making. The findings of various researchers into behavioural economics are considered. It is pointed out that the interests of the shareholders are rarely, if ever, the same as those of other stakeholders. This supports the idea that …


Are Shareholders Owners? Absolutely. And Absolutely Not, Kent Greenfield Aug 2014

Are Shareholders Owners? Absolutely. And Absolutely Not, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

Shareholder ownership is in reality ‘shareholder primacy,’ or ‘shareholder supremacy.’ An excessive focus on shareholder interests encourages managerial decisions that are overly risky from society’s perspective. Including broader stakeholder concerns at the senior level of corporate decision making will help roll back the short-termism of corporations.

Is There A Perfect Environment For A Villain And Villainess To Thrive?, Kim Weinert Jul 2013

Is There A Perfect Environment For A Villain And Villainess To Thrive?, Kim Weinert

Kim Weinert

Any form of a non-profit organisation possesses universal characteristics that differentiate them from being a household, a corporate or a government agency. The fundamental characteristic of non-profit organisations, which delineates them from other types of organisations, is the undercurrent of trust and altruism from the individuals in control, who achieve the organisation's charitable aims and for those individuals not to gain any personal benefits along the way. In many instances, however, the notion of charity takes a back seat to obtaining a personal benefit. The practice of opportunistic management and abusing a position of trust by individual/s within a non-profit …


The Progressive Possibility Of Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield Jun 2013

The Progressive Possibility Of Corporate Law, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

In this article, I wish to argue that we find ourselves, at least in the United States and perhaps world-wide, in an unusual and special moment in the intellectual history of corporate law. I believe there is more openness to re-thinking corporate law than any time in a generation. And I do not only mean the parts of corporate law governing executive compensation or the due diligence required when facing a merger proposal. I also mean an openness to discuss the questions of first principle: What are corporations for? Who owns them? What are their obligations to society in general? …
