Tort In A Contractual Matrix, John G. Fleming
Tort In A Contractual Matrix, John G. Fleming
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article addresses one aspect of the interface between tort and contract: the way tort law is affected, whether by extending or contracting its reach, by the parties coming together against a contractual structure. Two basic situations are considered. The first concerns the effect of a contractual limitation clause on the tort liability of, or to, a third party such as a subcontractor's to the building owner. The second considers what effect to attribute to a plaintiff's failure to protect himself or herself in advance by contracting against the risk

A New Use For An Old License: Who Owns The Right?, Barbara D. Griff
A New Use For An Old License: Who Owns The Right?, Barbara D. Griff
Cardozo Law Review
In order to establish this referential background, this Note begins in Part I with a look at historic new use cases focusing on whether a grant of dramatic rights included motion picture rights, whether a grant of silent motion picture rights included rights to talkies, and whether motion picture rights included television rights. Part I continues with a survey of the current landscape and provides an overview of cases involving a grant of motion picture or television rights seeking to include videocassette rights when the original contract was signed prior to the invention or popularization of the video cassette recorder …

Is The Pearson Airport Legislation Unconstitutional?: The Rule Of Law As A Limit On Contract Repudiation By Government, Patrick J. Monahan
Is The Pearson Airport Legislation Unconstitutional?: The Rule Of Law As A Limit On Contract Repudiation By Government, Patrick J. Monahan
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
It has long been assumed that Parliament has unlimited power to enact legislation cancelling valid contracts and denying compensation to any persons affected. This paper challenges that conventional wisdom. The author argues that the principle of the rule of law requires that governments be accountable in the ordinary courts for wrongful actions of government officials. This principle is undermined if government is absolved from any liability for breach of a fairly bargained and valid contract. Thus, legislation purporting to abrogate contracts and deny compensation is invalid, since it violates the implied limits on legislative authority associated with the rule of …
The Federal Arbitration Act And Individual Employment Contracts: A Better Means To An Equally Just End, William F. Kolakowski Iii
The Federal Arbitration Act And Individual Employment Contracts: A Better Means To An Equally Just End, William F. Kolakowski Iii
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that courts should adopt a narrow reading of the employment contract exception to the FAA, thus making arbitration agreements in most individual employment contracts enforceable under the Act. Part I argues that a textual analysis of the FAA supports a narrow interpretation of the exception. Because some courts and commentators have argued that the text favors a broad interpretation, Part II examines the legislative history of the exception and demonstrates that no firm conclusions can be drawn about congressional intent regarding the exception's scope. Finally, Part III demonstrates that a narrow reading of the exception best serves …

State Of Israel V. Apropim, Aharon Barak, Dov Levin, Eliahu Mazza
Translated Opinions
Facts: Because of large-scale immigration from the countries of the former Soviet Union, the appellant wished to encourage the speedy building of residential apartments. This was done within the framework of a ‘Programme Contract’, which gave incentives to builders in the form of a State guarantee to buy apartments that were not sold on the open market, and it provided for sanctions in the event of delays. The incentives were particularly significant in development areas, where the State undertook to buy all the apartments that were not sold on the open market. However, the contract was drafted carelessly, and it …

Dirigisme And The Challenge Of Competition Law In France, David J. Gerber, Richard Azarnia
Dirigisme And The Challenge Of Competition Law In France, David J. Gerber, Richard Azarnia
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The article examines the tension between France's dirigiste traditions and the introduction of competition law, particularly through the 1986 Competition Statute. While the statute aimed to establish legal principles to protect competition and reduce government discretion, the enduring influence of dirigisme—emphasizing state control and administrative prerogatives—continues to challenge the effectiveness of competition law. The *Ville de Pamiers* case highlights this conflict, as it tests the boundaries of competition law's applicability to public services and administrative acts. The analysis reveals that the struggle to balance competition law with dirigiste traditions reflects broader conflicts in redefining the role of government in a …

Where Is The Freedom In Freedom Of Contract?: A Comment On Trebilcock's The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract, Hamish Stewart
Where Is The Freedom In Freedom Of Contract?: A Comment On Trebilcock's The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract, Hamish Stewart
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Michael Trebilcock's recent exploration of the limits of freedom of contract systematically considers both the instrumental and the intrinsic value of freedom or autonomy in an economic analysis. A third way of thinking about the value of freedom of contract is to take it as a presupposition of contract law: that is, freedom of contract is not just instrumentally or intrinsically desirable, but is conceptually necessary to contract law. Two examples are presented to suggest that by not considering this third perspective, Trebilcock leaves himself without a structure in which to deal with some of the issues that trouble him.
Remedies When Contracts Lack Consent: Autonomy And Institutional Competence, Richard Craswell
Remedies When Contracts Lack Consent: Autonomy And Institutional Competence, Richard Craswell
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Autonomy-based theories hold that enforceable contracts require the knowing and voluntary consent of the parties. In defining "knowing" and "voluntary," however, autonomy theorists have paid little attention to the remedy that will be granted if consent is round to be lacking, or to the question of what obligations (if any) will be enforced in place of the unconsented-to contract. In this paper, I expand on Michael Trebilcock's argument that considerations of institutional competence-specifically, the relative ability of courts and private actors to craft acceptable substitute obligations-should sometimes play a key role in defining what counts as "knowing" and "voluntary" consent.
The Idea Of A Public Basis Of Justification For Contract, Peter Benson
The Idea Of A Public Basis Of Justification For Contract, Peter Benson
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The essay has two main objects. The first is to take up and to develop certain of the difficulties that Professor Trebilcock finds with autonomy and welfare-based theories of contract law. The essay reaches the conclusion that efficiency, autonomy, and welfare approaches suffer from fundamental and yet qualitatively different kinds of defects. Moreover, in the course of its critical examination of these theories, the essay introduces and makes explicit an ideal of justification which The Limits of Freedom of Contract only implicitly assumes-an ideal of justification which the essay, following the recent work of Rawls, calls a "public basis of …

Critiques Of The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract: A Rejoinder, Michael J. Trebilcock
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This rejoinder to the foregoing critiques of the author's book, The Limits of Freedom of Contract, focuses on several themes: a) what range of contractually-related issues do courts possess the requisite institutional competence to address? b) whether problematic normative issues in contract law are amenable to rational analysis and at least provisional resolution, or are inherently indeterminate, contingent, and political? c) what the value of individual autonomy implies in terms of the type of transactions parties should be permitted to engage in? d) whether an "internal" rather than consequentialist theory of contract law is conceivable? and e) whether autonomy values …
Michael And Me: A Postmodern Friendship, Allan C. Hutchinson
Michael And Me: A Postmodern Friendship, Allan C. Hutchinson
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This paper offers a review of The Limits of Freedom of Contract as an exercise in postmodern critique and politics. It examines the extent to which the book is informed by the postmodern motifs of contingency and indeterminacy. It attributes difficulties in Michael's analysis to a lack of postmodern nerve. Finally, it provides a contrast to a law-and-economics notion of citizenship which is applied to the problem of racist practices in the marketplace.
The Dilemma Of Choice: A Feminist Perspective On The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract, Gillian K. Hadfield
The Dilemma Of Choice: A Feminist Perspective On The Limits Of Freedom Of Contract, Gillian K. Hadfield
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
In this essay I explore what Michael Trebilcock's work in The Limits of Freedom of Contract offers feminists in terms of a resolution or transcendance of the dilemma of choice. Trebilcock's work does not address the deepest feminist concerns about conflicts between autonomy and welfare, but it does shed light on narrower versions of the dilemma, providing an analytical framework for the feminist dilemma of choice and emphasizing the pervasiveness of this problem in contract law. Trebilcock's recommendation that society simultaneously use different institutions to promote different values also has salience for the feminist dilemma of choice.
Hermeneutics And Contract Default Rules: An Essay On Lieber And Corbin, Lawrence A. Cunningham
Hermeneutics And Contract Default Rules: An Essay On Lieber And Corbin, Lawrence A. Cunningham
Cardozo Law Review
The most provocative debate in contemporary contract law scholarship concerns default rule analysis. Dozens of law review articles have been devoted to this, puzzle regarding the manner in which courts do or should fill gaps in incomplete contracts. The timing and course of this debate might have been very different, however, except for an accident of intellectual history.
Institutions And Linguistic Conventions: The Pragmatism Of Lieber's Legal Hermeneutics, Guyora Binder
Institutions And Linguistic Conventions: The Pragmatism Of Lieber's Legal Hermeneutics, Guyora Binder
Cardozo Law Review
Like many other forms of social thought, legal theory has, over the last quarter century, taken an "interpretive" turn. Recent and contemporary writing on legal hermeneutics may be credited with two sensible but unsurprising claims about legal language.

Translated Opinions
Facts: Ruth and Daniel Nahmani, a married couple, were unable to have a child because of an operation that Ruth underwent. They therefore decided to try in-vitro fertilization of Ruth’s ova with Daniel’s sperm and implanting the fertilized ova in a surrogate mother. Under Israeli law, surrogacy was not permitted and in-vitro fertilization was only permitted for implantation in the mother. Because of the great expense of the in-vitro fertilization procedure in the United States, the couple petitioned the Supreme Court, sitting as the High Court of Justice, to allow the in-vitro fertilization procedure to be conducted in Israel, for …

The Scienter Requirement And Wash Trading In Commodity Futures: The Knowledge Lost In Knowing, Charles R.P. Pouncy
The Scienter Requirement And Wash Trading In Commodity Futures: The Knowledge Lost In Knowing, Charles R.P. Pouncy
Cardozo Law Review
On September 1, 1990, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC" or "Commission") issued a complaint and notice of hearing in which it alleged, inter alia, that on over sixty occasions during the period of June 23, 1987 through September 17, 1987, brokers on New York City's Coffee, Sugar, and Cocoa Exchange had executed wash trades on behalf of a number of Japanese foreign brokers. Wash trading, which is prohibited by section 4c of the Commodity Exchange Act ("the Act"), consists of the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same number of futures contracts at the same or very similar …
The Robinson-Patman Act Sections 2(D) And 2(E): Promotional Allowances And The Per Se Rule Of Illegality, Julian Chung
The Robinson-Patman Act Sections 2(D) And 2(E): Promotional Allowances And The Per Se Rule Of Illegality, Julian Chung
Cardozo Law Review
The Robinson-Patman Act (the "Act"), as part of the antitrust laws, was designed to prevent direct and indirect price discrimination. Specifically, the Act prohibits price discrimination through the use of certain types of discounts granted by sellers to select customers. Sections 2(d) and 2(e) of the Act attempt to further this prohibition by expressly regulating promotional allowances and services. Although Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") enforcement of the sections has declined, private litigation under sections 2(d) and 2(e) of the Robinson-Patman Act has recently been revived. Three recent suits involving the compact disc ("CD") market exemplify this trend. Retailers of CDs …

Michigan Journal of International Law
Accordingly, Part I of this article provides a review of the role intermediaries have played in the recent spate of insurance company insolvencies and an overview of intermediary rights and duties. Part II then progresses to a discussion of English intermediary law, analyzing how the general English rules apply to intermediaries when a cedent or reinsurer becomes insolvent. Part III addresses the same issues under U.S. law, tracing the most recent statutory developments from their cause and considering their effect on reinsurance transactions. This article concludes with a discussion of how English and U.S. law interact in reinsurance transactions, pointing …
