The Price Of Trust: An Examination Of Fiduciary Duty And The Lender-Borrower Relationship, 29 Wake Forest L. Rev. 719 (1994), Cecil J. Hunt Ii Jan 1994

The Price Of Trust: An Examination Of Fiduciary Duty And The Lender-Borrower Relationship, 29 Wake Forest L. Rev. 719 (1994), Cecil J. Hunt Ii

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

Comparing the search for elements which will give rise to a fiduciary relationship between a bank and a borrower to the quest for the elusive holy grail, Professor Hunt proposes that, rather than existing only in special circumstances, the fiduciary relationship is a normal aspect of the bank-borrower relationship. Hunt explains that a fiduciary obligation is part of the parties' assumptive base in the bank-borrower relationship that must by necessity exist before any borrower would entrust private or business information to a bank in return for a loan. While acknowledging that such a relationship might be inapposite in the initial …

Product Definition, Product Information, And Market Power: Kodak In Perspective, Mark R. Patterson

Faculty Scholarship

In Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Services, Inc., product information, market costs, market information the United States Supreme Court held that market power sufficient to impose an illegal tying arrangement can, at least in theory, derive from buyers' uncertainty regarding a product's costs and quality.

Heirs Of Leonardo: Cultural Obstacles To Strict Products Liability In Italy, Anita Bernstein, Paul Fanning Jan 1994

Heirs Of Leonardo: Cultural Obstacles To Strict Products Liability In Italy, Anita Bernstein, Paul Fanning

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Using a wide array of source material--history, political sociology, literature, and numerous interviews--the authors begin with Italian traditions, exploring their implications for legal change. Strict products liability conflicts with these traditions. The doctrine is collectivist, tending to regard individuals in terms of group membership. Italians reject this aggregation, and affirm the singularity of a product design. The authors conclude that the EU attempt to harmonize its …

Brooke Group Ltd. V. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp.: A Victory For Consumer Welfare Under The Robinson-Patman Act, Keith Allen May

University of Richmond Law Review

The preservation of competition among business entities is vital to the success of any economy. Recognizing the importance of competition, the United States Congress has passed antitrust laws that seek to enhance productivity and protect consumers. Although the antitrust laws, like all statutes, are vulnerable to a variety of different interpretations, "[t]he language of the antitrust statutes, their legislative histories, the major structural features of the antitrust law, and considerations of the scope, nature, consistency, and ease of administration of the law all indicate that the law should be guided solely by the criterion of consumer welfare." The antitrust laws …
