Trans-Pacific Partnership: Continuity And Breakthroughs In U.S. Investment Treaty Practice, Charles Hendrickson Brower Ii Oct 2016

Trans-Pacific Partnership: Continuity And Breakthroughs In U.S. Investment Treaty Practice, Charles Hendrickson Brower Ii

Law Faculty Research Publications

In October 2015, the United States completed negotiations for the Trans- Pacific Partnership (“TPP”), a free trade agreement among twelve Pacific Rim states.1 According to the White House, TPP will “rewrite the rules of trade,” will include “high standards . . . that . . . upgrade our existing agreements,” and will “have a profound impact on . . . how we invest in the developing world.”2 By contrast, the leading presidential candidates from both parties offer distinctly negative assessments of TPP. Hillary Clinton has opined that TPP does not meet the “very high” bar she would set for producing …

Letter Of Credit Litigation Under Ucc Article 5: A Case Of Statutory Preemption, John F. Dolan Jan 2011

Letter Of Credit Litigation Under Ucc Article 5: A Case Of Statutory Preemption, John F. Dolan

Law Faculty Research Publications

In this article, Professor Dolan maintains that UCC Article 5 fashions a comprehensive remedy scheme for recurring damages claims in letter of credit litigation. That scheme, he contends, is upset by the introduction of most common law causes of action in Article 5 litigation. He concludes, therefore, that courts should not entertain those common law claims, which he sees as destructive of letter of credit law and of the unique commercial nature of letters of credit. Using the economic loss doctrine and similar theories, he urges courts to dismiss actions brought in addition to or in lieu of the remedies …

Questioning Traditional Antitrust Presumptions: Price And Non-Price Competition In Hospital Markets, Peter J. Hammer Jul 1999

Questioning Traditional Antitrust Presumptions: Price And Non-Price Competition In Hospital Markets, Peter J. Hammer

Law Faculty Research Publications

Hospital mergers challenge basic assumptions about the effects of market power in the health care industry. Antitrust courts have struggled with claims that hospital mergers may in fact reduce costs and lower prices. This Article assesses the validity of these economic claims in the context of an industry that has undergone radical transformations in recent years. The Article also explores how such arguments should be treated as a matter of antitrust doctrine in an area of the law that relies heavily on market share presumptions and rule-based decision making. The Article contends that courts should employ a total welfare standard …


Competing On Quality Of Care: The Need To Develop A Competition Policy For Health Care Markets, William M. Sage, Peter J. Hammer Jul 1999

Competing On Quality Of Care: The Need To Develop A Competition Policy For Health Care Markets, William M. Sage, Peter J. Hammer

Law Faculty Research Publications

As American health care moves from a professionally dominated to a marketdominated model, concerns have been voiced that competition, once unleashed, will focus on price to the detriment of quality. Although quality has been extensively analyzed in health services research, the role of quality in competition policy has not been elucidated. While economists may theorize about non-price competition, courts in antitrust cases often follow simpler models of competition based on price and output, either ignoring quality as a competitive dimension or assuming that it will occur in tandem with price competition. This unsystematic approach is inadequate for the formulation of …

Good Faith Purchase Study: True Owners And The Warehouse Lien, John Dolan Jan 1981

Good Faith Purchase Study: True Owners And The Warehouse Lien, John Dolan

Law Faculty Research Publications

The commercial concept of good faith purchase has been an effective doctrine in the law of property and contract for facilitating changes necessary to a dynamic mercantile system. Today the concept finds itself under attack. Professor Gilmore, whose definitive review of the doctrine twenty-seven years ago has been required reading, now warns that the idea may have outlived its usefulness in some areas. He and others would, for example, restrict severely its application in the law of "negotiable" instruments.

At its elementary level, the good faith purchase doctrine depends on the question of possession. That question, in turn, rests on …

Uniform Commercial Code And The Concept Of Possession In The Marketing And Financing Of Goods, John F. Dolan Jan 1978

Uniform Commercial Code And The Concept Of Possession In The Marketing And Financing Of Goods, John F. Dolan

Law Faculty Research Publications

The "buyer in ordinary course" rule of section 9-307(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code shelters good faith purchasers of certain goods from the rival claims of sellers' secured creditors. Professor Dolan argues that the Code's refusal to let title determine disputes over goods in other contexts extends to clashes between creditors and buyers under section 9-307(1). Hefinds the key to the Code's scheme for settling these clashes in the "special property interest" a buyer acquires at the moment goods are identied to a contract of sale. The scheme, he believes, is one ofgeneral respect for reasonable expectations based on possession, …
