Who Owes How Much? Developments In Apportionment And Joint And Several Liability Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, Thomas A. Eaton
Who Owes How Much? Developments In Apportionment And Joint And Several Liability Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, Thomas A. Eaton
Scholarly Works
For most of its history, Georgia followed the traditional common law rule of joint and several liability and the equally well-settled principle that negligence could not be compared with intent when apportioning liability. Both of those propositions were dramatically altered by the enactment of the 2005 amendments to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) section 51-12-33 as construed by the Georgia Supreme Court in two recent opinions.

Infuturia Global Ltd. V. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: The Breadth Of Removal Jurisdiction Under 9 U.S.C. § 205, Conor Burden Leonard
Infuturia Global Ltd. V. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: The Breadth Of Removal Jurisdiction Under 9 U.S.C. § 205, Conor Burden Leonard
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Infuturia Global Ltd. v. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit analyzed the scope of federal removal jurisdiction over matters related to certain international arbitration agreements and awards. In doing so, the Ninth Circuit articulated a broad standard to determine whether a federal court is an appropriate forum to hear a dispute related to a foreign arbitration agreement or award. The Ninth Circuit interpreted the key language of the relevant provision to permit removal whenever there is an arbitral award or agreement that “could conceivably affect the outcome of the plaintiff’s suit.”
Intolerable Abuses: Rendition For Torture And The State Secrets Privilege, D. A. Jeremy Telman
Intolerable Abuses: Rendition For Torture And The State Secrets Privilege, D. A. Jeremy Telman
Law Faculty Publications
In Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc., the Ninth Circuit, sitting en banc, dismissed a complaint brought by five men claiming to have been victims of the U.S. government’s extraordinary rendition program, alleged to involve international kidnapping and torture at foreign facilities. Procedurally required to accept plaintiffs’ allegations as true, the court nonetheless dismissed the complaint before discovery had begun based on the state secrets privilege and the Totten doctrine, finding that the very subject matter of plaintiffs’ complaint was a state secret and that the defendant corporation could not defend itself without evidence subject to the privilege. This Article contends …

Does The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act Of 1974, Which Was Targeted Primarily At Kickbacks Between Service Providers, Also Bar Charges For Undivided, Unearned Services (10-1042), Marshall E. Tracht
Other Publications
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 provides that “[n]o person shall give and no person shall accept any portion, split, or percentage of any charge made or received … other than for services actually performed.” The Supreme Court must decide whether this language prohibits a party from charging for services not actually performed if the party retains the entire charge, without splitting it with any other party.
The Chevron Two-Step In Georgia's Administrative Law, David Shipley
The Chevron Two-Step In Georgia's Administrative Law, David Shipley
Scholarly Works
The Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals have long accepted the General Assembly’s authority to enact legislation that establishes administrative agencies and empowers those agencies to promulgate rules and regulations to implement their enabling statutes. In addition, the Georgia Constitution provides that the General Assembly may authorize agencies to exercise quasi-judicial powers. Administrative agencies with broad powers enjoy a secure position under Georgia law.
Like federal and state administrative agencies throughout the nation, Georgia’s many boards, commissions and authorities make policy when they apply their governing statutes in promulgating regulations of general applicability, and in ruling on specific matters …
Forward Contracts Preference Exception Broadly Construed, Brian King
Forward Contracts Preference Exception Broadly Construed, Brian King
Bankruptcy Research Library
(Excerpt)
Derivative transactions and financial contracts are a critical component of the United States economy. There are three main types of derivative contracts executed in our markets: futures, options and forward contracts. Each of these instruments derives value from an underlying security or resource with focus on a possible change in its future value. These instruments can be used as speculative investments, as hedges on securities already owned, or as a means of mitigating risk on volatility within a specific industry. An essential attribute of trading in these derivatives is “the ability of the parties to value their transaction on …

Will Contests: From Start To Finish., Joyce Moore
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Article primarily focuses on the practical problems facing attorneys and courts when evaluating and proving up a will or trust in contested cases. The focus extends further into the special procedural and evidentiary rules applicable to these actions, the use and misuse of summary judgment proceedings in these cases, and some observations regarding developing trends and strategies in will and trust contest litigation. Admittedly, this area of practice is a melting pot of presumptions, exceptions, threshold hurdles, capacity qualms, evidentiary issues, strategic clauses, and countless other headache-inducing legal issues. Yet, attorneys must diligently juggle all of them while also …

Appropriate Testing And Resolution: How To Determine Whether Appropriation Art Is Transformative Fair Use Or Merely In Unauthorized Derivative., Eric D. Gorman
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Article addresses the copyright concerns in appropriation art today and concludes that copyright law should be amended to address the complex issues found in this area of the law. Part II provides a background on appropriation art and the different facets of copyright law, including the doctrine of fair use. Part III analyzes whether appropriation art can even be considered “fair use” under the current exceptions of copyright infringement. Part IV discusses various legal tests to determine whether appropriation art that utilizes copyrighted material can exercise the doctrine of fair use against alleged copyright infringement. It also proposes a …

Restitution In Texas: Civil Liability For Unjust Enrichment, David A. Dittfurth
Restitution In Texas: Civil Liability For Unjust Enrichment, David A. Dittfurth
Faculty Articles
The Texas Supreme Court must clarify the law of restitution. The law of restitution regulates a major area of litigation in Texas and suffers from a significant degree of confusion. The Texas Supreme Court has adopted the modern view of restitution, but its rulings lack the detailed guidance needed by lower courts. The Texas Supreme Court should establish an independent and generally applicable cause of action for unjust enrichment, describe clearly the elements of that cause of action, and lend its authority to the modern terms that describe the law of restitution.
The Texas Supreme Court’s rulings on restitution describe …
The Rule Of Reason And The Goals Of Antitrust: An Economic Approach, Roger D. Blair, D. Daniel Sokol
The Rule Of Reason And The Goals Of Antitrust: An Economic Approach, Roger D. Blair, D. Daniel Sokol
UF Law Faculty Publications
In this paper, we discuss the problem of the rule of reason and the welfare standard in antitrust. We begin with the Introduction (Section I), which provides an overview of the problem. In Section II, we review the Supreme Court’s guidance on the standard for conducting a rule of reason analysis. Put simply, the Supreme Court has failed to identify clearly what standard to use in conducting a rule of reason inquiry. After a careful — albeit selective — reading of Supreme Court opinions it is simply not clear. While a case can be made for total welfare as the …
Judicial Formalism And The State Secrets Privilege, Sudha Setty
Judicial Formalism And The State Secrets Privilege, Sudha Setty
Faculty Scholarship
Congress has, in the last few years, toyed with the idea of attempting to rein in the executive’s increasing reliance on the state secrets privilege as a means of escaping the possibility of accountability. The Author examines one high-profile case, that of Binyam Mohamed and other plaintiffs claiming that they had been subject to extraordinary rendition, torture, and prolonged detention. The Mohamed litigation offers evidence of a disturbing trend of U.S. courts retreating to formalistic reasoning to extend unwarranted deference to the executive branch in security-related contexts. In this essay the Author limits her analysis to the recent jurisprudence surrounding …
