Adopting Article Iv: Can Consumers Afford To Rely On The Banks' Good Faith?, Robert A. Fricks Dec 1994

Adopting Article Iv: Can Consumers Afford To Rely On The Banks' Good Faith?, Robert A. Fricks

Mercer Law Review

In 1990 the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute approved comprehensive changes to Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C."). These changes will greatly impact consumer transactions and alter the relationship between banks and their customers. As of December 1994, thirty-six states had adopted the revised Articles. While most states adopted them as written, some have made changes which provide the consumer with greater protection. The Georgia General Assembly will soon address the issue of whether to adopt the new Articles. At issue is whether the revisions warrant added consumer …


Privacy Vs. Convenience: The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tax System Modernization, E. Maria Grace Dec 1994

Privacy Vs. Convenience: The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tax System Modernization, E. Maria Grace

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Internal Revenue Service has launched the Tax System Modernization (TSM) program, a $23 billion plan to modernize its computer and information systems. TSM will be the largest computer upgrade ever undertaken by the federal government. Like any other computer network, TSM will inevitably be threatened by computer viruses, professional eavesdroppers, power outages, natural disasters, and human error. Given the sensitive nature of tax returns, the IRS has the difficult task of modernizing its data collection procedures and telecommunications facilities without risking the privacy of taxpayers and offending the security measures required by the Privacy Act of 1974, Computer Security …

Are Consumer Rights Human Rights?, Sinai Deutch Jul 1994

Are Consumer Rights Human Rights?, Sinai Deutch

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Consumer protection has gained great importance since World War II. Similarly, the concept of human rights has become increasingly prevalent. Substantive and procedural tests of human rights support the contention that the tendency toward broadening the definition of human rights allows us to include consumer rights within that definition. In a consumer-oriented society, protection of the individual consumer is perceived as part of maintaining human dignity-especially against big business organizations, monopolies, cartels, and multinational corporations. Well-accepted doctrines of human rights, therefore, such as the emphasis on an individual's prosperity, honour, and dignity, can serve as the basis for recognizing consumer …

A Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers, Thomas H. Lee May 1994

A Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers, Thomas H. Lee

Vanderbilt Law Review

This simple statement, which represents a patriotic imperative ' for some Americans and a simple declaration of measurable observation for others, potentially plays havoc with products liability warning law. Products liability law, a byproduct of both common and statutory law, has developed state by state in a crazy quilt pattern across the country; although the states are virtually unanimous on broad doctrines, they have taken a Balkanized approach to details. Today, every jurisdiction recognizes that product manufacturers and sellers have a duty to warn consumers and users adequately of the inherent dangers associated with their products. This recognition, however, does …

Exporting Bank Credit Card Rates And Charges, Ralph J. Rohner

Scholarly Articles

Banks enjoy virtually unlimited authority to export interest rates, late fees, and over-limit charges across state lines. Open issues include the exportability of other fees, the viability of consumer common law claims such as unconscionability, and the effect of home-state choice-of-law.
