Wyłączenia Grupowe Spod Zakazu Porozumień Ograniczających Konkurencję We Wspólnocie Europejskiej I W Polsce, Agata Jurkowska, Tadeusz Skoczny

Monografie CARS/CARS Monographs

Druga publikacja z serii „Studiów i Monografii Antymonopolowych i Regulacyjnych” CARS, powstała na podstawie raportu z badań nt. wyłączeń grupowych przeprowadzonych na zalecenie UOKiK w 2007 r.

Książka ukazuje ewolucję i kształt prawny wspólnotowych i polskich wyłączeń grupowych jako podstawowego instrumentu relatywizacji zakazu porozumień ograniczających konkurencję. Wyłączenia grupowe, ogólne i sektorowe, prezentowane są zarówno w kontekście historycznym, jak i w obecnym systemie wdrażania wspólnotowych reguł konkurencji ustanowionym rozporządzeniem 1/2003 od 1 maja 2004 r. Jednocześnie publikacja stawia pytania o współczesne miejsce wyłączeń grupowych w systemie prawa ochrony konkurencji.

Strategic Governance, Kelli A. Alces

Scholarly Publications

Creditors exercise significant power over financially distressed corporations, thereby pushing corporate managers further into the realm of unprofitable risk aversion. The heavy hand of creditor power and the threats creditors are able to make to managers’ professional stability and success misalign senior officers’ incentives by undermining their freedom to make wealth-maximizing decisions on behalf of the corporation. The importance of independent managerial decision making is paramount in the law of corporate governance and that independence has been inefficiently undermined by the exertion of oppressive creditor control. This Article resolves the problem by creating a mechanism to balance shareholder and creditor …

Stakeholder Governance: A Bad Idea Getting Worse, George W. Dent

Faculty Publications

Calls for a stakeholder voice in corporate governance never end, as evidenced by the Symposium Corporations and Their Communities to which this paper is a contribution. The demise of labor unions and explosion of executive compensation while the income of most Americans has stagnated over the last several years has precipitated cries for remedial action, some of which include stakeholder governance. Although complaints about deepening inequality are just, other remedies should be pursued. The traditional objections to stakeholder governance remain valid: the interests of stakeholder groups clash not only with those of the shareholders but also with each other, and …

A Fresh Look At Director "Independence": Mutual Fund Fee Litigation And Gartenberg At Twenty-Five, Lyman P.Q. Johnson

Scholarly Articles

This article contrasts how a robust conception of director independence plays a central role in the corporate law world while, in the mutual fund industry, independence is a shrunken conception playing only a marginal role. Over the last twenty-five years, director independence in corporate law has gained wide acceptance as being desirable and it has become a critical component of fiduciary duty analysis. Within the mutual fund industry, however, independence remains fiercely contested. The more obvious battle over independence has occurred in response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC's") rulemaking effort to alter the standard for granting certain regulatory …

The Attorney-Client Privilege Protection Act: The Prospect Of Congressional Intervention Into The Department Of Justice's Corporate Charging Policy, Andrew Gilman

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note analyzes the Privilege Protection Act, focusing on how it might change corporate white-collar prosecutions. Part I of this Note explores the mechanics of the corporate privilege, the development of the DOJ's waiver policy, and the structure of the Privilege Protection Act. Part II addresses the conflicting views on whether the Privilege Protection Act will bolster corporate attorney-client privilege, provide for the effective and efficient prosecution of white-collar crime, and promote ethical prosecutorial practices. Finally, Part III argues that the Privilege Protection Act is a misguided attempt to correct a greater systemic problem with the corporate attorney-client privilege and …

Corporate Boards Of Directors: Advisors Or Supervisors, Tamar Frankel

Faculty Scholarship

What makes for a well-functioning corporate board? In this Article I argue that one important condition is that board members must understand and agree upon the group's objectives and its roles. If a corporate board of directors (Board) does not agree on what it is supposed to do; or, worse still, if Board members disagree about the Board's mission and its implementation, then the Board is likely to become dysfunctional-inefficient and ineffective. The Board's missions, however, may be mixed and their forms of implementation may conflict. In this case, the balance between the two missions must be established, and it …

Family Law In The Twenty-First Century: An Annotated Bibliography, Nancy Levit

The twenty-first century will bring, among other things, an explosion of technology (in domains ranging from electronic to reproductive), greater personal mobility, and an aging population.

This bibliography covers law review articles, A.L.R. entries, and some web articles published after 2002, with an emphasis on those in more recent years. The bibliography for the first time expands to include …
