Truth In Savings And The Failure Of Legislative Methodology, Eric J. Gouvin
Truth In Savings And The Failure Of Legislative Methodology, Eric J. Gouvin
Faculty Scholarship
The federal Truth in Savings Act (Truth in Savings) provides one example of failed legislative problem solving. On its face, Truth in Savings is a congressional attempt to solve constituents' problems. The statute, however, appears unlikely to resolve the issues presented to Congress and may even create new and unintended problems that will make matters worse. Truth in Savings, like many other legislative efforts, fails adequately to address constituents' problems because the methodology employed by legislative drafters suffers from a fundamental flaw - it has no built-in mechanism to define rigorously the problem being addressed. Without first identifying the problem, …

Legal Foundations And Institutional Framework Of The Monetary Union In Europe And In The United States, Johan Van Den Cruijce
Legal Foundations And Institutional Framework Of The Monetary Union In Europe And In The United States, Johan Van Den Cruijce
LLM Theses and Essays
An economic and monetary union (EMU) is an area where there is complete freedom of movement of persons, goods, services, and capital. The financial markets in an EMU are completely integrated while the national currencies are conventional and have fixed exchange rates. Ultimately the national currencies may be replaced by a common currency and there will be one monetary policy. The EMU is considered to be the highest form of economic integration. This paper examines two examples of a monetary union; the first part focuses on the blueprint for a European monetary union as laid out in the Treaty on …

The Bespeaks Caution Doctrine: Revisiting The Application Of Federal Securities Law To Opinions And Estimates, Royce De R. Barondes
The Bespeaks Caution Doctrine: Revisiting The Application Of Federal Securities Law To Opinions And Estimates, Royce De R. Barondes
Faculty Publications
Disclosure of estimates and opinions, which are often referred to as ‘soft information,‘ has presented a number of difficult issues to courts, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and companies issuing offering materials or required to file periodic reports with the SEC. Although this type of information often consists of projections, historical financial statements also include this type of information to varying degrees. For example, a bank's statement of financial position requires specification of loan loss reserves and is therefore dependent on an assessment of future events (the timing and extent of repayment). Similarly, determination of the timing of a …
Confederate Bonds, General Custer, And The Regulation Of Derivative Financial Instuments, Jerry W. Markham
Confederate Bonds, General Custer, And The Regulation Of Derivative Financial Instuments, Jerry W. Markham
Faculty Publications
The phenomenal growth of derivative financial instruments has sparked a near revolution in finance. These instruments take many forms and come in literally hundreds of varieties. Some, such as commodity futures and options, are heavily regulated when they are traded on organized exchanges. Other derivatives, particularly those traded over-the-counter, are subject to little regulation. Included on the list of unregulated derivatives are swap transactions. The swaps market alone is equal in size to the regulated markets with which it competes. The lack of regulation over such a large financial market and the losses suffered by some large firms in recent …
Tragedy, Irony, And Protectionism After Bcci: A Three-Act Play Starring Maharajah Bank, Raj Bhala
Tragedy, Irony, And Protectionism After Bcci: A Three-Act Play Starring Maharajah Bank, Raj Bhala
Faculty Publications
Post-BCCI legal developments regarding the regulation of foreign banks raise serious concerns of protectionism. The Foreign Bank Supervision Enhancement Act of 1991 and revisions to Federal Reserve Regulation K impose significant new legal burdens on foreign banks seeking to establish a physical presence in the U.S. The new legal regime reflects a tragic sacrifice of the principle of free trade in banking services in order to placate a fear of "bad" foreign banks. Ironically, the sacrifice of this principle by Congress and the Federal Reserve is incongruous with efforts of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The USTR has negotiated …

Rate Regulation At The Crossroads Of Usury And Unconscionability: The Case For Regulating Abusive Commercial And Consumer Interest Rates Under The Unconscionability Standard, Steven W. Bender
Faculty Articles
This article builds on the argument that the usury solution is flawed and urges a compromise between usury and market control that employs the variable fairness standard of unconscionability to police unfair interest pricing. The article examines American and comparative usury and unconscionability regulation to develop appropriate guidelines for unconscionability's new duty. It then proposes a model statute articulating the unconscionability standard for consumer loans. Finally, the article advocates employing usury controls under a limited regime of "spot treatment," rather than blanket control, for persisting pockets of lender abuse the unconscionability standard may fail to deter.

The Pros And Cons Of A Self-Regulatory Organization For Advisers And Mutual Funds, Tamar Frankel
The Pros And Cons Of A Self-Regulatory Organization For Advisers And Mutual Funds, Tamar Frankel
Faculty Scholarship
Congress is seriously considering bills to establish self-regulatory organizations (SROs) for investment advisers (advisers) and investment companies (Funds). These bills would require members of the investment management industry to regulate themselves under the watchful eye of the Securities and Exchange Commission, similar in approach to the regulation of broker-dealers by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) and the securities exchanges. Proposals to establish SRO for investment advisers have arisen before. However, those proposals did not cover Funds and their advisers,

Exporting Bank Credit Card Rates And Charges, Ralph J. Rohner
Scholarly Articles
Banks enjoy virtually unlimited authority to export interest rates, late fees, and over-limit charges across state lines. Open issues include the exportability of other fees, the viability of consumer common law claims such as unconscionability, and the effect of home-state choice-of-law.

An Economic Analysis Of The Potential For Coercion In Consent Solicitations For Bonds, Royce De R. Barondes
An Economic Analysis Of The Potential For Coercion In Consent Solicitations For Bonds, Royce De R. Barondes
Faculty Publications
This Article examines why issuers frequently cannot present bondholders with an offer that draws on collective action problems to force the acceptance of the offer by the bondholders. The analysis is restricted to publicly offered bonds. For a number of reasons, privately placed debt presents fewer opportunities for coercion. A prior business relationship among various purchasers, which facilitates cooperation, may be more likely with respect to privately placed debt. Privately placed debt often has more significant protection for the bondholders than public debt with the same level of seniority

Negotiable Instruments And Banking: Review Of Some Recent Canadian Case Law, Benjamin Geva
Articles & Book Chapters
This review presents a survey of some significant cases decided recently on a variety of topics in the area of negotiable instruments and banking. Although none of the reviewed cases may be truly earth-shattering, they all are important because they freshen, clarify or restate the law. Specific topics covered are the reach of provincial jurisdiction to bills of exchange and promissory notes, forgery and verification agreement, requisites for negotiability, the defence of non-delivery of a bill or note, priority instruments in the insolvency of a bank, holding in due course requirements, notice of dishonour rules, and preauthorized automated debit payments.
Hail Britannia?: Institutional Investor Behavior Under Limited Regulation, John C. Coffee Jr., Bernard S. Black
Hail Britannia?: Institutional Investor Behavior Under Limited Regulation, John C. Coffee Jr., Bernard S. Black
Faculty Scholarship
A central puzzle in understanding the governance of large American public firms is why most institutional shareholders are passive. Why would they rather sell than fight? Until recently, the Berle-Means paradigm – the belief that separation of ownership and control naturally characterizes the modern corporation – reigned supreme. Shareholder passivity was seen as an inevitable result of the scale of modern industrial enterprise and of the collective action problems that face shareholders, each of whom owns only a small fraction of a large firm's shares.
A paradigm shift may be in the making, however. Rival hypotheses have recently been offered …
The Politics Of Article 9, Robert E. Scott
The Politics Of Article 9, Robert E. Scott
Faculty Scholarship
In the ongoing debate concerning the efficiency and social value of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, two points are beyond dispute. First, asset-based financing has undergone an enormous transformation since the enactment of Article 9. The most vivid illustration of this is the dramatic increase in the number and size of firms that rely on secured credit as their principal means of financing both ongoing operations and growth opportunities. Previously, with a few exceptions (such as factoring and trust receipts), secured financing principally had served second-class markets as the "poor man's" means of obtaining credit. Now, it has …
