Chicken Little Revisited: Nafta Regulatory Expropriations After Methanex, Jessica C. Lawrence Jan 2006

Chicken Little Revisited: Nafta Regulatory Expropriations After Methanex, Jessica C. Lawrence

Georgia Law Review

In August, 2005, a NAFTA dispute-resolution panel handed down its decision in Methanex Corp. v. United States, holding that, inter alia, California's regulatory ban on the gasoline additive MTBE was not a regulatory expropriation under NAFTA's Article 1110. Many of NAFTA's supporters reacted jubilantly to the decision, claiming that it proved--contrary to the "doomsday predictions" of anti-NAFTA "Chicken Littles"--that the agreement's investment chapter does not interfere with states' ability to enact regulations designed to protect the public interest.

For-Profit Corporations That Perform Public Functions: Politics, Profit, And Poverty, Cheryl L. Wade Jan 1999

For-Profit Corporations That Perform Public Functions: Politics, Profit, And Poverty, Cheryl L. Wade

Faculty Publications

In this Article, Professor Wade argues that the corporate law shareholder-primacy paradigm fails to adequately account for individuals who depend upon for-profit corporations for the educational, medical, correctional, and social services traditionally provided by government. These for-profit corporations, termed "Public Function Companies" by Professor Wade, have two distinct constituencies: shareholders who expect wealth maximization to guide corporate action and "Corporate Dependents" who rely upon the essential services administered by these corporations. Because corporate law generally requires officers and directors to act only in the interest of shareholders, Corporate Dependents may be left with inadequate services and no mechanism to influence …
