Occupational Safety And Health Law In Sweden And The United States: Are There Lessons To Be Learned By Both Countries, Barbara Jo Fleischauer Jan 1983

Occupational Safety And Health Law In Sweden And The United States: Are There Lessons To Be Learned By Both Countries, Barbara Jo Fleischauer

UC Law SF International Law Review

The United States and Sweden are both highly industrialized nations whose workers are exposed to similar risks and substances. Thus, the legal problems surrounding worker protection from occupational hazards are similar. Traditions and cultural differences, however, have influenced the direction each country has taken in this area. In light of these differences, the author reviews some recent changes in Swedish occupational safety and health law and examines the important differences between the Swedish and United States approaches. She concludes that although neither country would benefit from the wholesale adoption of the other's program, each could effectively borrow ideas that proved …


Conflict Of Laws, Product Liability And The Substantive Law Of New Zealand In Bennett V. Enstrom Helicopter Corp., Patricia Barlow Jan 1983

Conflict Of Laws, Product Liability And The Substantive Law Of New Zealand In Bennett V. Enstrom Helicopter Corp., Patricia Barlow

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Accident Compensation Act (ACA) of New Zealand provides a uniform system of rehabilitation and compensation for personal injury or death resulting from accidents in New Zealand. This Article examines how the private international law provisions of the Act apply in aviation product liability. The Sixth Circuit case of Bennett v. Enstrom Helicopter Corp. is extensively analyzed. The author argues that the trial and appellate courts in Bennett, in holding the ACA has the exclusive remedy, misinterpreted substantive New Zealand law on recovery for injury or death. She mentions that the ACA left areas of "residual liability" and that Bennett …


Licensing The Exportation Of Nuclear Materials: Responsibility To The Global Environment, Elizabeth Ann Lawrence Jan 1983

Licensing The Exportation Of Nuclear Materials: Responsibility To The Global Environment, Elizabeth Ann Lawrence

UC Law SF International Law Review

The policy of the United States to supply nuclear power plants and materials to selected foreign nations raises questions concerning environmental concerns, nuclear weaponry problems, and foreign relations considerations. This Note examines the statutory scheme by which Congress has sought to balance these factors and the role of the judiciary in implementing this plan. Specifically, a recent case involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's grant of a license for exporting nuclear plant materials to the Philippines is reviewed. The author concludes that this litigation failed to provide adequate guidance for the Commission and for courts in future cases. The author offers …

Foreign Investment In Cable Television: The United States And Canada, Colin J. Coffey Jan 1983

Foreign Investment In Cable Television: The United States And Canada, Colin J. Coffey

UC Law SF International Law Review

Canadian ownership and control of United States cablevision systems has steadily increased over the past seven years. This has given rise to heated debate concerning the issue of such alien control. The argument to impose citizenship requirements upon cable ownership centers on present citizenship requirements on common carriers and broadcast licensees, and on the issue of trade reciprocity. Rejecting the reciprocity argument as artificial, the author believes that Congress should impose citizenship requirements on cable television ownership, and that these requirements should be based on the policies and rationale of the Communications Act of 1934, which details the true reasons …


Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants: The United States, West Germany, And Canada, Thomas Giller Jan 1983

Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants: The United States, West Germany, And Canada, Thomas Giller

UC Law SF International Law Review

Despite recent considerations weighing against future 'development of nuclear power there are problems created by the substantial number of existing nuclear power plants. Whereas the building and operation of nuclear facilities are covered by detailed legislation, very little attention has been given to nuclear reactor decommissioning. Decommissioning involves the permanent shutdown of a nuclear facility and it is a significant concern as nuclear power plants grow older and more obsolete. This Note discusses what decommissioning is and why it is important and examines the decommissioning policies of three nations with active nuclear power industries: the United States, West Germany, and …

Detecting Collusion In Oligopolistic Industries: A Comparison And Proposal, Joseph F. Zellmer Jan 1983

Detecting Collusion In Oligopolistic Industries: A Comparison And Proposal, Joseph F. Zellmer

UC Law SF International Law Review

Oligopoly industry structure, where a small number of firms dominate a large percentage of the market, is prominent in American business. Antitrust scholars debate about how an oligopoly firm sets its prices and whether the prices are competitive. Some scholars believe that United States law allows oligopolists to avoid detecting and punishment for collusive pricing activities. This Note compares two approaches to proving collusion in oligopolistic industries. One approach is proposed by Richard A. Posner and the other is presently utilized by the European Court of Justice for the European Economic Community. The author urges that United States courts adopt …


Artistic Freedom And Government Subsidy: Performing Arts Institutions In The United States And West Germany, Erik Stenberg Jan 1983

Artistic Freedom And Government Subsidy: Performing Arts Institutions In The United States And West Germany, Erik Stenberg

UC Law SF International Law Review

This Note examines the role of the government in securing and maintaining artistic freedom in the performing arts institutions of West Germany and of the United States. The primary basis for comparison is the ability of the artistic directors of performing arts institutions to program the works they desire. The author focuses on the various advantages and disadvantages of the direct subsidy approach implemented in West Germany as opposed to the emphasis on indirect government support found in the United States. Finally, the author concludes that direct and open government support of the performing arts, such as in West Germany, …


Allowing Federal Courts Access To International Court Of Justice Advisory Opinions: Critique And Proposal, William T. Mclaughlin Ii Jan 1983

Allowing Federal Courts Access To International Court Of Justice Advisory Opinions: Critique And Proposal, William T. Mclaughlin Ii

UC Law SF International Law Review

Supporters of the idea that the rule of law should govern the world community have generally been disappointed by the meager role the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has played in international affairs and in the development of international law. Most of the explanations for the ICJ's underuse point to a single factor: that the vast majority of nation states, including the United States, choose not to risk their interests to the judgment of an independent international tribunal. This Note first examines two suggested modifications of the ICJ as proposed by the United States Congress and the American Bar Association. …


The Extraterritorial Effect Of Federal Criminal Statutes: Offenses Directed At Members Of Congress, Mark Petersen Jan 1983

The Extraterritorial Effect Of Federal Criminal Statutes: Offenses Directed At Members Of Congress, Mark Petersen

UC Law SF International Law Review

In a world of increased tension and open hostility toward the United States and its policies, an attack or assault on a member of Congress traveling abroad is not inconceivable. Section 351 of the United States Criminal Code prescribes penalties for offenses directed at members of Congress including assault, killing, kidnapping, and attempted conspiracies. Section 351, however, is silent as to a court's reach in asserting subject matter jurisdiction. This Note addresses the issue of whether the United States federal courts could obtain jurisdiction over a foreign group or individual who attacked or killed a Congressperson in a foreign country. …


Extraterritorial Application Of United States Securities Law: A Matrix Analysis, Marc H. Morgenstern Jan 1983

Extraterritorial Application Of United States Securities Law: A Matrix Analysis, Marc H. Morgenstern

UC Law SF International Law Review

The antifraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to securities sold exclusively to nonresident aliens. The extraterritorial application of these provisions is allowed only when United States Courts have subject matter jurisdiction over the transaction under principles of international law. Case law examines the relationship among four variables to determine whether United States Courts will assert or deny jurisdiction. This Article proposes a matrix model that uses these four variables to assist in the determination of jurisdiction. The matrix model is a tool which clarifies the variables involved in the jurisdictional …


The Constitutional Court Reviews The Early Dissolution Of The West German Parliament, Mary Lovik Jan 1983

The Constitutional Court Reviews The Early Dissolution Of The West German Parliament, Mary Lovik

UC Law SF International Law Review

The December 1982 dissolution of the Bundestag, in order to make way for new elections, was only the second time in the thirty-five year history of the Federal Republic that such an event occurred. The 1949 Bonn Constitution provides severely restrictive provisions regarding early dissolution. The Federal Constitutional Court, however, upheld the dissolution proceedings. This Article investigates the legal issues raised by the early dissolution, and the Constitutional Court's decision as to its constitutionality. It also discusses several proposals which have been made which would amend the Bonn Constitution to permit easier dissolution. The dissolution marked an important milestone in …


United States Antidumping Laws And Chinese Exports To The United States, Clyde Stoltenberg Jan 1983

United States Antidumping Laws And Chinese Exports To The United States, Clyde Stoltenberg

UC Law SF International Law Review

Less than five months after the United States and China signed an agreement to promote and expand trade an antidumping petition was filed against China. This was one of the first times China had been a party to litigation in the United States since Normalization of relations in 1979. In the future the antidumping issue may be one of the most significant barriers to the development of United States-China trade relations. This article examines the general framework of United States antidumping laws, the key issues which have emerged in proceedings and the antidumping cases decided or pending. It also examines …
