"Doing Business": Defining State Control Over Foreign Corporations, William A. Holby Oct 1979

"Doing Business": Defining State Control Over Foreign Corporations, William A. Holby

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note will attempt to analyze the present status of the term "doing business" or the substitute terminology used to define that level of activity sufficient to subject a foreign corporation to state control in a particular context.' After defining the degree of activity necessary to permit the state to exercise control in each context, this Note will analyze the accuracy and utility of using terminology such as "doing business" in describing whether corporate activity within a state is sufficient to permit state exercise of legislative or judicial jurisdiction. This Note concludes by pro-posing that use of such ambiguous language …

Appealability Of District Court Orders Disapproving Proposed Settlements In Shareholder Derivative Suits, Harold N. Falls, Jr. May 1979

Appealability Of District Court Orders Disapproving Proposed Settlements In Shareholder Derivative Suits, Harold N. Falls, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Recent Development will trace briefly the history of the collateral order doctrine, focusing on recent treatment by the Supreme Court. After an examination of the elements of a district court's decision to approve or disapprove a derivative suit settlement, the Recent Development will analyze the conflicting results reached by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second and Ninth Circuits in light of the Supreme Court's apparent retrenchment. Although finding that the Second Circuit's decision to reject appeal ability is most consistent with recent Supreme Court pronouncements, this Recent Development submits that the Supreme Court has adopted an …

The Negative Commerce Clause And State Environmental Legislation-Externalities Suggest Application Of The Tax Standard To Environmental Regulations, Douglas K. Stewart May 1979

The Negative Commerce Clause And State Environmental Legislation-Externalities Suggest Application Of The Tax Standard To Environmental Regulations, Douglas K. Stewart

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note advocates judicial application of this tax analysis not only to tax environmental legislation, but also to regulatory environmental legislation. The theoretical justification for this thesis is provided by the economic concept of externalities. Externalities are elements used in the production of a marketed item without cost to the producer, but at a cost to others. The term "externality"stems from the fact that the use of the element of production is not included in the market price of the item. Undesirable environmental impact has been recognized as an externality -- a cost to those people adversely affected by it …

Justice Stevens: The First Three Terms, George C. Lamb, Iii, Charles L. Schlumberger, D. J. Simonetti, James D. Spratt Jr., Joel R. Tew, Douglas W. Ey, Jr. Special Projects Editor

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Special Project undertakes an examination of Justice Stevens' Supreme Court opinions in an effort to identify his philosophical orientations, to evaluate the consistency of his views, and to determine the extent to which he has developed workable analytical methods. To achieve these goals, Justice Stevens' opinions are examined in three contexts: first, the area of federal-state relations,including commerce clause and supremacy clause questions; second, the individual rights area, emphasizing criminal constitutional and first amendment issues, and problems of fifth and fourteenth amendment analysis; and third, questions concerning the proper role of the Supreme Court in the constitutional scheme. Even …

Customs Court Jurisdiction In International Trade Cases, Jonathan S. Brenner Apr 1979

Customs Court Jurisdiction In International Trade Cases, Jonathan S. Brenner

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article discusses the specific problems involved in Customs Court jurisdiction. After outlining in Part I these jurisdictional problems and the court's failure to deal with them, the article, in Part II, proposes an analytic framework that focusses attention on the relevant criteria for ascertaining Customs Court jurisdiction. This framework is built upon the exclusivity of Customs Court jurisdiction and exhaustion of the administrative review process. The distinct rights of importers and manufacturers are also discussed and the special problem of cases which do not meet the procedural prerequisites for Customs Court jurisdiction are explored. Finally, Part III of this …

This Note addresses the requirements for governing computer program contracts by article 2 of the U.C.C.: that the several methods of selling programs be "transactions in goods" and that the goods not be merely incidental to accompanying services. This Note concludes that contracts for program copies are, in most contexts, transactions within the scope of article 2.

"Peaceful Purposes" And Other Relevant Provisions Of The Revised Composite Negotiating Text: A Comparative Analysis Of The Existing And The Proposed Military Regime For The High Seas, Rex J. Zedalis

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

In view of the short term and the long term international instability which may be generated by the militarization of outer space, the polar zones, or the oceans, it is imperative that the prescriptions of international law affecting military utilization of such areas be thoroughly examined in order to determine if adequate and effective restrictions or limitations on such activities exist. This study will initiate and hopefully stimulate continuing interest in such an examination by scrutinizing the international legal prescriptions which affect various military uses of the high seas.

Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono Jan 1979

Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article intends to demonstrate the similarity of Japanese and Chinese attitudes towards contractual agreements by contrasting Japan-.P.R.C. agreements with Japan-United States and Japan-third world agreements. This similarity of attitudes, the structural support framework for bilateral trade, technology, and after-sales service can explain Japan's success in trading with the P.R.C.
