An Index And Table Of Contents To The Ali Reporters' Study On Enterprise Responsibility For Personal Injury, Jeffrey O'Connell, Alexander S. Glovsky

San Diego Law Review

In 1986, the American Law Institute (ALI) published a report to analyze and appraise the state of the tort system and to recommend reform. This study lacked crucial aids that could make it more accessible: it was devoid of any index and the table of contents did not contain any subheadings. The authors of this Article created an index and a comprehensive table of contents, in order to make the report more "user friendly." This Article contains a brief description of the 1986 ALI Reporter's Study, followed by an expanded table of contents and an index.

Simple Calculations To Reduce Litigation Costs In Personal Injury Cases: Additional Empirical Support For The Offset Rule, R. A. L. Carter, John P. Palmer Apr 1994

Simple Calculations To Reduce Litigation Costs In Personal Injury Cases: Additional Empirical Support For The Offset Rule, R. A. L. Carter, John P. Palmer

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article demonstrates that if the nominal rate of interest equals the growth rate of nominal earnings, then a strong case can be made for calculating lump-sum damage awards by using the offset rule, i.e., by simply multiplying the annual loss by the number of years the loss is expected to continue. An examination of the Canadian data not only supports the offset rule, but also suggests that plaintiffs are being systematically undercompensated by rules currently in use.

For this reason, the qui tam provisions of the FCA (False Claims Act) are in a unique position to generate action and changes and have a substantial impact on the health care industry. This note will discuss the history of the qui tam element of the FCA; a breakdown of the statute;areas in the …
