Reconsidering The Imposition Of Dual Vicarious Liability In The Borrowed Employee Context: The Singapore Approach In Munshi Mohammad Faiz V Interpro Construction Pte Ltd [2021] 4 Slr 1371 And Hwa Aik Engineering Pte Ltd V Munshi Mohammad [2021] 1 Slr 1288, Danny Ong, Aaron Yoong, Louis Yi Hang Lau

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The limits of the law on dual vicarious liability were recently tested in the decisions of Munshi Mohammad Faiz v Interpro Construction Pte Ltd [2021] 4 SLR 1371 and Hwa Aik Engineering Pte Ltd v Munshi Mohammad [2021] 1 SLR 1288, both before the General and Appellate divisions of the High Court. Against the backdrop of these decisions, this case note argues that the approach laid down by the High Court may go some ways in resolving the tension and assist in settling the perennial question of the role of control in dual vicarious liability. In particular, it is argued …

Towards A New Approach For The Choice Of Insolvency Forum, Anthony J. Casey, Aurelio Gurrea-Martinez, Robert K. Rasmussen

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency (“MLCBI”) turned 26 years in 2023. During this period, it has been adopted in more than 60 jurisdictions around the world and it has significantly contributed to successful management of insolvency proceedings with a cross-border element. Therefore, the MLCBI is an achievement that the international insolvency community needs to celebrate. The MLCBI is built on the idea of “modified universalism”. Therefore, it envisions the commencement of a main procedure in a single jurisdiction even if non-main proceedings can also be opened and the laws of other jurisdictions can still be relevant for certain …

The Myth Of Debtor-Friendly Or Creditor-Friendly Insolvency Systems: Evidence From A New Global Insolvency Index, Aurelio Gurrea-Martinez

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article seeks to test the validity of the traditional classification of insolvency systems as debtor-friendly or creditor-friendly jurisdictions. For that purpose, the article develops a novel Global Insolvency Index (“GII”) that seeks to measure the attractiveness of reorganization procedures from the perspective of debtors, secured creditors and general unsecured creditors. After assessing the attractiveness and evolution of reorganization procedures in 53 jurisdictions around the world, it will be shown that insolvency systems can be pro-debtor and pro-creditor, anti-debtor and anti-creditor, or somewhere in the middle. Hence, the GII developed in this article shows that the traditional classification of insolvency …

Rethinking Acting In Concert: Activist Esg Stewardship Is Shareholder Democracy, Dan W. Puchniak, Umakanth Varottil

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In May 2021, Engine No. 1, an investment fund, was lauded by the responsible investment community for successfully placing three dissident independent directors on ExxonMobil’s board. It achieved this by being a catalyst for institutional investors to become backers of environmental shareholder activism. The unprecedented success of Engine No. 1’s campaign has spurred calls for a new, more sustained, activist engagement model by institutional investors, now known as “activist stewardship”.However, there is a significant legal hurdle that has been almost entirely overlooked by those calling for this new approach for institutional investors to become activist stewards: acting in concert rules. …

Determining An Effective Regulatory Framework For Businesses To Report On The Environment, Climate, And Human Rights, Paco Mengual

Pace International Law Review

The objective of this article is to identify the existing dynamics and clarify the reasoning behind reporting on environmental, climate, and human rights information in search of effective and binding frameworks to enhance transparency. To that effect, this article relates the evolution from a corporate sustainable business focus to reporting on environmental social and governance and increasing corporate accountability. It then expands on defining non- financial information and ESG reporting with regards to recent European Union Regulations (SFDR, Taxonomy) as well as the challenges associated with defining sustainable investments. This article aims to compare and understand the various regulatory strategies …

Corporate Law’S Threat To Human Rights: Why Human Rights Due Diligence Might Not Be Enough, Barnali Choudhury

Articles & Book Chapters

The take-up of mandatory human rights due diligence (HRDD) initiatives by states is continuously gaining momentum. There are now numerous states adopting some form of HRDD laws. While corporations being duly diligent in respecting human rights is a positive step towards addressing problems of business and human rights, these HRDD initiatives on their own may only be a form of window-dressing, that is, enabling states to put a smart spin on their efforts to address business and human rights issues without addressing some of the root causes of that predicament. As a result, HRDD laws are likely to be a …

Ethics At The Speed Of Business, James A. Doppke Jr.

DePaul Business & Commercial Law Journal

This paper discusses several ways in which the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct, and the Illinois Supreme Court Rules, construct barriers that prevent lawyers and businesses from accomplishing reasonable commercial goals. Often, those barriers arise from outdated concepts, or terminology that does not reflect current business realities. The paper argues for the amendment of specific Rules to enhance lawyers’ and businesses’ respective abilities to conduct their affairs more efficiently, without sacrificing public protection in the process.

The Spac Market, Usha Rodrigues, Michael Stegemoller

Scholarly Works

Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) exploded in popularity in the past few years, to such a degree that they made up 60% of IPOs in 2020, 66.3% in 2021, and 69.4% in 2022. Celebrities from Colin Kaepernick to Jay-Z have launched SPACs, but perhaps the most feverish attention came in October 2021, when a SPAC called Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) announced plans to acquire Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), a social media company headed by former president Donald Trump.

The SPAC frenzy has now abated, a casualty of some combination of higher interest rates, regulatory crackdown, and oversupply. …

A Theory Of Substantive Standards Of Review: The Case Of Corporate Law, Tomer S. Stein

Scholarly Works

In Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, the Supreme Court limited deference to universities. In West Virginia v. EPA, the Court reduced its deference to administrative agencies. In Coster v. UIP Cos., Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court limited deference to boards of directors, proclaimed a new standard of review, and then retracted the new standard of review (maybe). Common to these constitutional, administrative, and corporate law cases is unpredictability, uncertainty, and inconsistency in the use and application of substantive standards of review. This doctrinal chaos is explicitly acknowledged by the very judges that formulate …

Wireless Investors & Apathy Obsolescence, Sergio Alberto Gramitto Ricci, Christina M. Sautter

Faculty Works

This Article discusses how a subgenre of retail investors makes investors’ apathy obsolete. In prior work, we dub retail investors who rely on technology and online communications in their investing and corporate governance endeavors “wireless investors.” By applying game theory, this Article discusses how wireless investors’ global-scale online interactions allow them to circulate information and coordinate, obliterating collective action problems.

Asia’S Moment: Contextualizing The Rules Of The Corporate Governance Game, Dan W. Puchniak

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Whether this century is Asia’s century is still open for debate. What is clear now, however, is that understanding corporate governance in Asia is a paramount issue of global importance. Asia is forecast to account for an astonishing 70% of global growth in 2023.

An Asian Solution For The World’S Environment? Corporate Governance In A Non-Anglo-American World, Dan W. Puchniak

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Historically, when it comes to determining what counts as “good” corporate governance globally, the United Kingdom and United States have set the rules of the game. This has resulted in ill-fitting Anglo-American corporate governance solutions being transplanted to Asia with unforeseen consequences.[i] Will Asia repeat this history by adopting Anglo-American corporate governance solutions to solve its environmental problems?
