The Two-Trillion Dollar Carve-Out: Foreign Manufacturers Of Defective Goods And The Death Of H.R. 4678 In The 111th Congress, Andrew F. Popper
The Two-Trillion Dollar Carve-Out: Foreign Manufacturers Of Defective Goods And The Death Of H.R. 4678 In The 111th Congress, Andrew F. Popper
Andrew Popper
Whatever happened to H.R. 4678, The Foreign Manufacturers Legal Accountability Act? While at first the bill looked like it would sail through, vocal and well-funded opposition from foreign manufacturers and their U.S. representatives placed its future in doubt – and ultimately killed the bill. Gross sales of foreign manufactured goods in the U.S. exceed two trillion dollars annually. Conservatively, there are tens of millions of defective, dangerous, and in some instances deadly goods produced abroad for sale in U.S. markets (e.g., Chinese dry-wall, toxic levels of lead paint on toys, contaminated pet food, allegedly lurching cars, infant cribs that to …

Touring The Punitive Damages Forest: A Proposed Roadmap, Dr. Yehuda Adar
Yehuda Adar Dr.
Punitive damages have for years been one of the most hotly debated legal topics around the common law world. In recent years, however, the interest in this subject seems to be shared increasingly by continental scholars. The scholarly literature on punitive damages is immense. It covers almost every aspect of the punitive damages phenomenon, from almost every angle (doctrinal, conceptual, philosophical, political, economic, historical, empirical, constitutional, and comparative). Surprisingly, however, there has been little academic effort to systematically organize the punitive damages field. What seems to be especially lacking is a roadmap which would be able to encapsulate the various …
