Finding Nemo: Rediscovering The Virtues Of Negotiability In The Wake Of Enron, Adam J. Levitin
ExpressO
Creditors have long understood that any claims they submit for repayment in a bankruptcy might be valid, but subject to subordination in the order of payment of the bankruptcy estate’s limited funds if the creditor behaved inequitably as the debtor failed. A groundbreaking opinion in Enron’s on-going bankruptcy has expanded the practice of equitable subordination far beyond its traditional reach. According to the court, buyers of bankruptcy claims are now subject to subordination, not just for their own conduct, but also for conduct of previous owners of the claims, regardless of whether the conduct related to the claims.

Why Unify Contract And Tort Remedies? A Reply To Professor Dagan, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Why Unify Contract And Tort Remedies? A Reply To Professor Dagan, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
-This Article is in Hebrew-
The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code attempts to create a unified law of remedies for the breach of any civil obligation, including originating in tort law and contract law. In his article, "The Risks of Codification: On Over-Coherence and Multiplicity of Remedies", Professor Dagan forcefully criticizes this attempt. The present article demonstrates that the two main criticisms raised by Dagan - against the unification of remedies and against the attempt to fortify the remedial response to breach of civil obligations - are unconvincing, from both a theoretical and a pragmatic point of …

Of The Honey And The Sting – Reflections On Remedies And The Draft Civil Code, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
-This article is in Hebrew-
The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code reflects a bold – some might say revolutionary – attempt to turn the law of remedies from a set of specific rules appended to various branches of substantive law into a single, autonomous and systematic legal branch. The section, entitled “Remedies for Breach of Obligation,” concludes the fourth part of the proposed code (dealing with obligations) and applies to the violation of any civil obligation, including breach of contract and the commission of torts. This article attempts to provide a broad theoretical framework for the law …

Improving The Construction And Litigation Resolution Process: The 2005 Amendments To The Washington Condominium Act Are A Win-Win For Homeowners And Developers, Mark F. O'Donnell, David E. Chawes
Improving The Construction And Litigation Resolution Process: The 2005 Amendments To The Washington Condominium Act Are A Win-Win For Homeowners And Developers, Mark F. O'Donnell, David E. Chawes
Seattle University Law Review
On August 1, 2005, significant amendments to the Washington Condominium Act (WCA) became effective. These amendments were intended to substantially reduce water infiltration in multiunit residential buildings and to simplify the condominium construction dispute resolution process. The heart of the amendments is the implementation of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures, as well as fee-shiftingprovisions which require the non-prevailing party to pay the attorney fees and costs of the prevailing party. A decade of lawsuits brought under the WCA by condominium owners associations against builders and developers, and in turn by builders against subcontractors, alleging defects in the ability of the …
