Fair Value And Fair Price In Corporate Acquisitions, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Fair Value And Fair Price In Corporate Acquisitions, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In statutory corporate acquisitions, dissenters' rights entitle shareholders of acquired corporations to obtain a "fair value" for their consideration, while common-law fiduciary duties ensure that such shareholders receive a "fair price" in the transaction. Courts, however, have had difficulty defining and measuring fair value and fair price, leaving this area of the law in disarray. This Article reviews the current framework of appraisal rights and fiduciary duties and proposes refined definitions of fair value and fair price that are based on attractive moral and economic values widely shared by society. The proposal respects the expectations of shareholders and provides guidance …

Playing Doctor: Corporate Medical Practice And Medical Malpractice, E. Haavi Morreim
Playing Doctor: Corporate Medical Practice And Medical Malpractice, E. Haavi Morreim
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Although health plans once existed mainly to ensure that patients could pay for care, in recent years managed care organizations (MCOs) have attempted to limit expenditures by exercising significant influence over the kinds and levels of care provided. Some commentators argue that such influence constitutes the practice of medicine, and should subject MCOs to the same medical malpractice torts traditionally brought against physicians. Others hold that MCOs engage only in contract interpretation, and do not literally practice medicine.
This Article begins by arguing that traditional common law doctrines governing corporate practice of medicine do not precisely apply to the current …

Trademark Issues In Cyberspace: The Brave New Frontier, Sally M. Abel
Trademark Issues In Cyberspace: The Brave New Frontier, Sally M. Abel
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
Cyberspace raises a variety of thought-provoking trademark and trademark-related issues. While many of the issues and problems that arise may be analyzed and resolved from the vantage point of traditional notions of trademark law, others present thornier questions requiring greater sensitivity to the practical effect of cyberspace on the commercial marketplace. The cyberspace trademark issue that continues to get the most press is the domain name controversy. Is a domain a trademark? When does use of a domain infringe trademark rights? If someone else registers a company's name or trademark as their domain, what can the company do? Beyond domains …

Corporate Nonrecognition Provisions: A Comparison Of The U.S. And Canadian Tax Regimes, Catherine Brown, Christine Manolakas
Dalhousie Law Journal
This article compares the rules governing the federal income taxation of corporate reorganizations in Canada with those in the United States, including transfers of property to a corporation, corporate divisions, share-for-share exchanges, amalgamations or mergers, recapitalizations, and corporate dissolutions. The paper outlines the provisions governing a particulartype of corporate transaction, compares the Canadian tax results with those of the United States, comments on any differences between particular tax provisions, and examines the practical implications of these differences. The authors conclude that although there are a number of parallels between the U.S. and Canadian tax systems, fundamental differences exist that change …

Missouri Law Regarding Punitive Damages And The Doctrine Of Remittitur, Edward S. Stevens
Missouri Law Regarding Punitive Damages And The Doctrine Of Remittitur, Edward S. Stevens
Missouri Law Review
The imposition of punitive damages can devastate defendants, be they individuals or large corporations. Fortunately for these defendants, the jury does not have the final word on the amount of damages. This Note addresses the circumstances under which punitive damages are available in Missouri and when the doctrine of remittitur will be used so that damage awards comport with Missouri's prohibition against excessive awards and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Comparative Corporate Governance And The Theory Of The Firm: The Case Against Global Cross Reference, William W. Bratton, Joseph A. Mccahery
Comparative Corporate Governance And The Theory Of The Firm: The Case Against Global Cross Reference, William W. Bratton, Joseph A. Mccahery
All Faculty Scholarship
Professors Bratton and McCahery take up the main questions addressed by the literature on comparative corporate governance: whether national governance systems can be expected to converge in the near future, and whether the focal point of that convergence will be a new, hybrid governance system comprised of the best practices drawn from different systems. This Article advances the view that neither global convergence that eliminates systemic differences nor the emergence of a hybrid best practice safely can be projected because each national governance system is a system to a significant extent. Each system, rather than consisting of a loose collection …
The Scope Of Private Securities Litigation: In Search Of Liability Standards For Secondary Defendants, Jill E. Fisch
The Scope Of Private Securities Litigation: In Search Of Liability Standards For Secondary Defendants, Jill E. Fisch
All Faculty Scholarship
Recent federal court decisions have struggled to apply the Supreme Court's decision in Central Bank v. First Interstate to determine when outside professionals should be held liable as primary violators under section IO(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. In keeping with the Court's current interpretive methodology, Central Bank and its progeny employ a textualist approach. In this Article, Professor Fisch argues that literal textualism is an inappropriate approach for interpreting the federal securities laws generally and misguided in light of legislative developments post-dating the Central Bank decision. Instead, Professor Fisch advocates an approach that weighs Congress 's recent endorsement of …
