Solidifying Arkansas's Liquidated Damage Law After S.O.G.-San-Ore-Gardner V. Missouri Pacific Railroad Co.: It's Not All Water Under The Bridge, David C. Jung Jan 2013

Solidifying Arkansas's Liquidated Damage Law After S.O.G.-San-Ore-Gardner V. Missouri Pacific Railroad Co.: It's Not All Water Under The Bridge, David C. Jung

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

The construction of the Benzal Bridge over the White River in rural Arkansas brought about years of litigation between Missouri Pacific Railroad Company and contractor San Ore-Gardner, the crux of which was whether the liquidated damages provision in the parties' contract was enforceable. The liquidated damages provision at issue provided that San Ore-Gardner would be liable to Missouri Pacific Railroad Company for damages in the amount of $600 per day if performance of the contract was not completed within the specified time period. Although Missouri Pacific Railroad Company did contribute to the over two year delay in completion of the …


An Empirical Study Of Predispute Mandatory Arbitration Clauses In Social Media Terms Of Service Agreements, Michael L. Rustad, Richard Buckingham, Diane D’Angelo, Katherine Durlacher Jul 2012

An Empirical Study Of Predispute Mandatory Arbitration Clauses In Social Media Terms Of Service Agreements, Michael L. Rustad, Richard Buckingham, Diane D’Angelo, Katherine Durlacher

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

This Article is the first empirical study of the use of predispute mandatory arbitration clauses by social networking sites (SNSs) and sheds light on whether SNSs are using arbitration clauses strategically in order to complete a "liability-free" zone in cyberspace. Our empirical findings reveal that SNS arbitration clauses contravene many of the basic principles deemed indispensable for a fundamentally fair process for consumers to obtain civil recourse for recognized torts and remedies for contract disputes. Congress needs to prohibit predispute mandatory arbitration clauses in terms of service agreements and privacy policies.


Tort Law—Tortious Interference With Business Expectancy – A Trap For The Wary And Unwary Alike, Larry Watkins Apr 2012

Tort Law—Tortious Interference With Business Expectancy – A Trap For The Wary And Unwary Alike, Larry Watkins

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

Despite remaining stable and unchanged over the last decade, tortious interference has also remained problematic in Arkansas. Although tortious interference with contract in Arkansas suffers from many ailments, this note focuses on interference with business expectancy, discussing interference with contract only as necessary. Specifically, the note argues that tortious interference in Arkansas should be formally separated into two distinct rules—interference with contract and interference with business expectancy—in order to keep courts from mixing terms and standards from both rules when addressing only one cause of action. This note further proposes that the improper element of tortious interference in Arkansas should …


Civil Procedure And Contract Law—Contractual Forum-Selection Clauses In Erie Cases: More Than Substance Or Procedure, James C. Mcneal Jan 2012

Civil Procedure And Contract Law—Contractual Forum-Selection Clauses In Erie Cases: More Than Substance Or Procedure, James C. Mcneal

University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review

The enforceability of forum-selection clauses is one of the most litigated jurisdictional issues in federal district courts. In a globalized society, forum-selection clauses reduce uncertainty. However, they present unique problems and, although they are liberally enforced by state and federal courts, forum-selection clauses are not always enforced by the forum court. Enforcement of forum-selection clauses is especially complex in diversity actions in federal court.

Forum-selection clauses appear substantive and often have substantive effects; however, they operate procedurally. Federal courts unanimously hold that the validity of a forum-selection clause is a procedural question and therefore the question of validity is decided …
