Exculpatory Liabilities And Partnership Nonrecourse Allocations, Karen C. Burke
Exculpatory Liabilities And Partnership Nonrecourse Allocations, Karen C. Burke
Karen Burke
The rise of limited liability companies (LLCs) classified as partnerships for federal income tax purposes challenges traditional assumptions concerning the treatment of recourse and nonrecourse liabilities under Subchapter K. The complex rules of sections 704(b) and 752 give little attention to liabilities that are recourse to the entity under section 1001 but for which no member bears the economic risk of loss under section 752. In comparison to traditional general or limited partnerships, however, LLCs are much more likely to incur such "exculpatory" liabilities because of the limited liability shield under state law. Although exculpatory liabilities are functionally quite similar …

Encouraging Insurers To Regulate: The Role (If Any) For Tort Law, Kyle D. Logue
Encouraging Insurers To Regulate: The Role (If Any) For Tort Law, Kyle D. Logue
Articles
Insurance companies are financially responsible for a substantial portion of the losses associated with risky activities in the economy. The more insurers can lower the risks posed by their insureds, the more competitively they can price their policies, and the more customers they can attract. Thus, competition forces insurers to be private regulators of risk. To that end, insurers deploy a range of techniques to encourage their insureds to reduce the risks of their insured activities, from charging experience-rated premiums to discounting premium rates for insureds who make specific behavioral changes designed to reduce risk. Somewhat paradoxically, however, tort law …

Bringing More Finality To Finality: Conditional Consent Judgments And Appellate Review, Thomas A. Engelhardt
Bringing More Finality To Finality: Conditional Consent Judgments And Appellate Review, Thomas A. Engelhardt
St. John's Law Review
(Excerpt)
Part I provides background on finality, including an overview of the final judgment rule and other statutory grants of appellate jurisdiction. Part I then discusses consent judgments, including conditional consent judgments. Part II examines the circuit splits with respect to issues of finality and the appealability of consent judgments that reserve a right to appeal. Part III presents arguments for and against strict interpretation and application of the finality requirement regarding consent judgments. Part IV argues for resolving the controversy by adopting a standard by which appellate courts uniformly recognize a consent judgment’s reservation of a right to appeal …

"A Distinction Without A Difference"?: Bartlett Going Forward, Steven A. Schwartz
"A Distinction Without A Difference"?: Bartlett Going Forward, Steven A. Schwartz
Fordham Law Review
This Note addresses the question of whether federal law preempts state design defect claims against generic drug manufacturers regardless of which test state law uses to determine whether a drug is defective. This issue, arising out of the U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation of preemption jurisprudence and fundamental tort law as stated in Mutual Pharmaceutical Co. v. Bartlett, is significant because it plays a large role in determining to what extent generic drug manufacturers are immune to civil liability arising out of injuries caused by their generic drugs. In an age of rising medical costs and jury awards, both plaintiff …
Fragmentation Of International Law In The Case Of Yugoslav Succession: Reimbursement Of “Old” Foreign-Currency Bank Deposits, Janja Hojnik
Fragmentation Of International Law In The Case Of Yugoslav Succession: Reimbursement Of “Old” Foreign-Currency Bank Deposits, Janja Hojnik
Janja Hojnik
The article explores the central, yet to be resolved succession issue of the former SFRY - the liability of successor States for the outstanding “old” foreign-currency deposits. Following the collapse of the SFRY, numerous depositors lost access to their foreign currency bank deposits. Although the successor States reimbursed some categories of depositors, several hundred thousands of them remained uncompensated. 25 years after the collapse of the SFRY and following the ECtHR pilot judgment in Ališić (2014), the solution to the issue finally seems to be in sight. It is claimed that by establishing a direct legal obligation of Slovenia …

Avoiding The Next Napster: Copyright Infringement And Investor Liability In The Age Of User Generated Content, Truan Savage
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
Rapid developments in digital technology over the past quarter century have made it easier than ever for people to create and instantly share content. These developments have served as the basis for countless innovations and have spawned some of today’s largest and most profitable companies. As content creation and distribution continues to evolve, businesses seek new ways to profit from these technological innovations. But while businesses continue to develop around new methods of content distribution, the law of copyright, which generally aims to encourage the creation of content, has been slow to adapt. This era of modern technological innovation thus …

The Operator's Liability With Regard To Transport Of Goods By Space Shuttle, I.H. Ph. Diederiks-Verschoor
The Operator's Liability With Regard To Transport Of Goods By Space Shuttle, I.H. Ph. Diederiks-Verschoor
Akron Law Review
The Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Object3 covers only the damage caused to third parties and objects in space. A parallel to the Warsaw Convention of 1929 which regulates the liability of air carriers for injury to transported passengers, luggage and goods, and also for delay in delivery, has not been established in space law. Until now there was no need for such a Convention. With the development of the transportation of goods in space, however, legal rules governing this liability will become desirable, if not necessary.
Uncrashworthy Aircraft And The Manufacturer's Liability, Robert Kent
Uncrashworthy Aircraft And The Manufacturer's Liability, Robert Kent
Akron Law Review
The concept of crashworthiness has now been accepted by a resounding majority of states if not all states. Although widely used since Larsen in automobile crash cases, crashworthiness has only recently been successfully applied to the aircraft. Perhaps this foreshadows the future. The automobile differs only slightly from the helicopter and the airplane. All are products; all are accepted modes of transportation; and all may be designed to be reasonably safe. The doctrine of crashworthiness has been so widely accepted with respect to the automobile that the time has now arrived for the doctrine to be accepted in the field …
Liability For Insider Trading: Expansion Of Liability In Rule 10b-5 Cases, Arthur J. Marinelli
Liability For Insider Trading: Expansion Of Liability In Rule 10b-5 Cases, Arthur J. Marinelli
Akron Law Review
This article will examine the recent litigation developments of Section 10 and Rule 10-b in Carpenter v. United States and in Basic, Inc. v. Levinson. The origins and developments of the misappropriation theory and the application of the mail fraud statutes as applied to Section 10 will also be discussed. Finally, the duty of disclosure and the timing of disclosure of merger negotiations, along with the fraud-on-the-market theory of civil liability under Rule 10b-5, will be explored in the context of the Basic case.
Foul-Ball Injury At South Bend Game Highlights Delicate Safety Balance, Ed Edmonds
Foul-Ball Injury At South Bend Game Highlights Delicate Safety Balance, Ed Edmonds
NDLS in the News
Baseball teams have operated under the assumption that anyone who attends a game accepts the risk of injury from foul balls or bats—an assumption that has been upheld by courts in many states including Indiana, under the "baseball rule."
Distinguishing The Concept Of Strict Liability For Ultra-Hazardous Activities From Strict Products Liability Under Section 402a Of The Restatement (Second) Of Torts: Two Parallel Lines Of Reasoning That Should Never Meet, Charles E. Cantu
Akron Law Review
The cornerstone of tort law in our Anglo-American system of jurisprudence is based upon three generally accepted principles. The first is that by awarding any individual monetary damages after their injury, we can make them whole, and the second is the concept of the reasonable prudent person. The third, and the focal point of this article, is that liability is imposed, and the corresponding right to recovery is created, not because of the fact that the plaintiff is injured, but because the injury is the result of the defendant’s fault.
Fault, as each first year law student is quick to …
Property Rules And Liability Rules: The Cathedral In Another Light, James Krier, Stewart Schwab
Property Rules And Liability Rules: The Cathedral In Another Light, James Krier, Stewart Schwab
Stewart J Schwab
Ronald Coase's essay on "The Problem of Social Cost" introduced the world to transaction costs, and the introduction laid the foundation for an ongoing cottage industry in law and economics. And of all the law-and-economics scholarship built on Coase's insights, perhaps the most widely known and influential contribution has been Calabresi and Melamed's discussion of what they called "property rules" and "liability rules."' Those rules and the methodology behind them are our subjects here. We have a number of objectives, the most basic of which is to provide a much needed primer for those students, scholars, and lawyers who are …
The Cathedral' At Twenty-Five: Citations And Impressions, James Krier, Stewart Schwab
The Cathedral' At Twenty-Five: Citations And Impressions, James Krier, Stewart Schwab
Stewart J Schwab
It was twenty-five years ago that Guido Calabresi and Douglas Melamed published their article on property rules, liability rules, and inalienability' Calabresi, then a law professor, later a dean, is now a federal judge. Melamed, formerly a student of Calabresi's, is now a seasoned Washington attorney. Their article-which, thanks to its subtitle, we shall call The Cathedral-has had a remarkable influence on our own thinking, as we tried to show in a recent paper2 This is not the place to rehash what we said then, but a summary might be in order. First, we demonstrated that the conventional wisdom about …
Avoiding The Pitfalls: Advertising In A Competitive Market, Francina Cantatore
Avoiding The Pitfalls: Advertising In A Competitive Market, Francina Cantatore
Francina Cantatore
The consumer credit industry is a competitive market which is facing challenging times in view of more stringent regulation in recent times. Advertising is an essential ingredient in generating business in this environment, thus an awareness of acceptable advertising parameters is important for credit providers. Not only do organisations face civil and criminal sanctions for transgressions of the legislation, but directors and managers may be personally liable for misleading or deceptive advertising. This paper deals with a discussion of advertising legislation and current developments; advertising interest rates and requirements for comparison rates; false or misleading advertising and ASIC Guidelines; including …

The Future Of Emotional Harm, Betsy J. Grey
The Future Of Emotional Harm, Betsy J. Grey
Fordham Law Review
Why should tort law treat claims for emotional harm as a second-class citizen? Judicial skepticism about these claims is long entrenched, justified by an amalgam of perceived problems ranging from proof difficulties for causation and the need to constrain fraudulent claims, to the ubiquity of the injury, and a concern about open-ended liability. To address this jumble of justifications, the law has developed a series of duty limitations to curb the claims and preclude them from reaching the jury for individualized analysis. The limited duty approach to emotional harm is maintained by the latest iteration of the Restatement (Third) of …
Autonomous Weapons And Accountability: Seeking Solutions In The Law Of War, Kelly Cass
Autonomous Weapons And Accountability: Seeking Solutions In The Law Of War, Kelly Cass
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
Autonomous weapons are increasingly used by militaries around the world. Unlike conventional unmanned weapons such as drones, autonomous weapons involve a machine deciding whether to deploy lethal force. Yet, because a machine cannot have the requisite mental state to commit a war crime, the legal scrutiny falls onto the decision to deploy an autonomous weapon. This Article focuses on the dual questions arising from that decision: how to regulate autonomous weapon use and who should be held criminally liable for an autonomous weapon’s actions. Regarding the first issue, this Article concludes that regulations expressly limiting autonomous weapon use to non-human …
Tax Reform Proposals On A Gift Tax On The Transfer Of Property By Nonresidents, Daze Swift Lee
Tax Reform Proposals On A Gift Tax On The Transfer Of Property By Nonresidents, Daze Swift Lee
University of Massachusetts Law Review
This Note raises taxation issues pertaining to a gift tax on the transfer of property by nonresidents under current United States tax rules. It further illustrates patterns and trends to evade a gift tax using transaction maneuvers. These issues are defined in three categories: a gift tax on the transfer of property situated only within the United States by a nonresident, no gift tax on the transfer of intangible assets, and transferee liability. In response to such issues, this Note calls for corresponding proposals to resolve gift taxation problems. It proposes that a gift tax should be imposed on the …
