Legal Factors In The Acquisition Of A United State Corporation: Litigation By Hostile Targets, Johan E. Droogmans
Legal Factors In The Acquisition Of A United State Corporation: Litigation By Hostile Targets, Johan E. Droogmans
LLM Theses and Essays
Acquisitions of United States corporations have become increasingly complex takeover contests, where bidders and target corporations are forced into offensive and defensive litigation strategies to protect their respective interests. Targets often assert that the bidders have violated federal or state securities laws, federal antitrust laws, federal margin regulations, federal and state regulatory systems, and federal anti-racketeering laws. These lawsuits are primarily based on the principal federal regulation of takeovers in section 14(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Williams Act. Target litigation is customary, but entails certain disadvantages; a lawsuit rarely stops an offer, is expensive, …
Crossing The Lines In Dolphin Delivery: Some Thoughts On The Parameters Of The Charter Application - Unpublished, Dianne Potheier
Crossing The Lines In Dolphin Delivery: Some Thoughts On The Parameters Of The Charter Application - Unpublished, Dianne Potheier
Dianne Pothier Collection
A threatened picket line which never materialized turned into the unlikely setting out of which the Supreme Court of Canada drew the demarcation lines between litigation to which the Charter does and does not apply. I use the description "unlikely setting" not because it is odd that labour picketing was the context for debating the issue of Charter application. The considerable extent to which Canadian law leaves labour picketing to the common law makes it an obvious place to assess the Charter's application to the common law. But it could not have been less planned than Retail, Wholesale and Department …

The Twilight Of Employment At Will? An Update, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Twilight Of Employment At Will? An Update, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
A 55-year-old white male, who has spent thirty years working his way up to a responsible middle-management position in his company, is asked for his resignation. No reason given. Even though the employee could demonstrate that he still is qualified to perform his duties, the employer's action in dismissing him would be quite unexceptionable under the conventional American common law doctrine of employment at will. The situation could be even more disturbing. If the employment-at-will principle were allowed its full scope, an employee would have no recourse even if he knew he was being discharged because he had refused to …
The Charter's Relevance To Private Litigation: Does Dolphin Deliver?, Brian Slattery
The Charter's Relevance To Private Litigation: Does Dolphin Deliver?, Brian Slattery
Articles & Book Chapters
The author critically examines the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, Local 580 v. Dolphin Delivery Ltd. This case holds that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms only applies to the relations between government and private persons and not to relations between private persons alone, with two exceptions. The author argues that the first exception - when a private person invokes a statute, rather than the common law, against another private person - is untenable because both the common law and the droit civil are grounded in legislative instruments, respectively …
