Law Triangle: Arbitrating International Reinsurance Disputes, J. L. Murphy Jan 2008

Law Triangle: Arbitrating International Reinsurance Disputes, J. L. Murphy

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The McCarran-Ferguson Act was enacted to preserve the longstanding prerogative of the States to regulate the insurance industry. States have acted in accordance with this statute to declare arbitration agreements in insurance contracts invalid. However, the Senate has since ratified the New York Convention and appended implementing legislation to the Federal Arbitration Act that obligates domestic courts to recognize arbitration agreements in all international contracts. In an odd convergence of authority, a functional conflict arises between these three bodies of law: the federal law says that state law controls in this area, even over other federal law that might incidentally …

Daedalean Tinkering, Sean J. Griffith Jan 2006

Daedalean Tinkering, Sean J. Griffith

Michigan Law Review

Part I of this Review describes Skeel's account of corporate scandal, focusing on the central theme of excessive risk-taking. Part II examines Skeel's most original policy proposal-the creation of an investor insurance scheme to protect against excessive risk. Although the proposal takes up only a few pages of the book, it targets the books' core concern-the risk of corporate fraud. In evaluating the proposed investor insurance regime, this Review raises a set of objections based on cost and administrability and argues that an insurance regime would be duplicative of existing mechanisms that effectively spread the risk of financial fraud. Part …

Faculty Scholarship

Compared to major tort and insurance reforms, PCFs have received virtually no attention by scholars. With an exception or two, they are not a major focus of public policy debate either. Because they are small organizations and there have been lengthy periods in which medical malpractice markets are quiescent, they have not attracted much scrutiny. Given a lack of quantitative evidence, our evaluation depended on qualitative evidence. Yet PCFs address the fundamental issues of medical malpractice that have led to reoccurring crises in the availability of medical malpractice insurance coverage and in its premiums for such coverage. As such, PCFs …

Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney Jul 1999

Clearing The Way For An Effective Federal-State Partnership In Health Reform, Eleanor D. Kinney

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

At century's end, states have assumed a very different role in the design, implementation, and operation of health service programs than they did twenty-five years ago. In the current volatile political atmosphere particularly at the federal level, states have taken up the mantle of healthcare reform in the final years of the 1990s. Yet there remain problems and difficulties with the current federal-state relationship in health reform. The critical question is whether states can successfully accomplish genuine reform given its politically charged, complex and costly nature. This question takes on particular significance for the most important reform-expanding coverage to the …

Waiver Of Sovereign Immunity: An Analysis Of Gilbert V. Richardson, Susan Hurt May 1996

Waiver Of Sovereign Immunity: An Analysis Of Gilbert V. Richardson, Susan Hurt

Mercer Law Review

In Gilbert v. Richardson, the Georgia Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a county waives its sovereign immunity by purchasing liability insurance. On September 1, 1991, Deputy Kathy Richardson responded to an emergency call and collided with Emma and Tommy Gilbert's vehicle. Both Gilberts were injured. The Gilberts brought suit against the Walker County Sheriff's Department, the sheriff, and a deputy sheriff. Plaintiffs alleged that Sheriff Millard, as the employer of the deputy sheriff, was liable for the acts of the deputy while she was acting within the course of her employment. Walker County's Georgia Interlocal Risk Management …
