"I'M Just Some Guy": Positing And Leveraging Legal Subjects In Consumer Contracts And The Global Market, Tal Kastner 2016 Princeton University

"I'M Just Some Guy": Positing And Leveraging Legal Subjects In Consumer Contracts And The Global Market, Tal Kastner

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

This article considers how legal frameworks shape the autonomous subject in a global economy. It makes salient the ways that different legal frameworks presume and enforce a particular subjectivity by positing certain behavioral expectations of various subjects. It does so through a focus on the underexplored rhetoric and implicit narratives of consumer contract law and transactional practice in the American and European regimes. By comparing the approach of the European Union to consumer contract, which posits the consumer as facing significant constraints on agency, to that in the United States, which elides functional limits of consumer knowledge and choice, this …

The Unfinished Business Of Dodd-Frank: Reforming The Mortgage Contract, Christopher K. Odinet 2016 Texas A&M University School of Law

The Unfinished Business Of Dodd-Frank: Reforming The Mortgage Contract, Christopher K. Odinet

Faculty Scholarship

The standard residential mortgage contract is due for a reappraisal. The goals of Dodd-Frank and the CFPB are geared toward creating better stability in the residential mortgage market, in part, by mandating more robust underwriting. This is achieved chiefly through the ability-to-repay rules and the “qualified mortgage” safe harbor, which call for very conservative underwriting criteria to be applied to new mortgage loans. And lenders are whole-heartedly embracing these criteria in their loan originations — in the fourth quarter of 2015 over 98% of all new residential loans were qualified mortgages, thus resulting in a new wave of credit-worthy homeowners …


Restitution Of Non-Gratuitously Conferred Benefit In Malaysia: A Case For Sowing The Unjust Enrichment Seed, Alvin W. L. SEE 2016 Singapore Management University

Restitution Of Non-Gratuitously Conferred Benefit In Malaysia: A Case For Sowing The Unjust Enrichment Seed, Alvin W. L. See

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article draws on the common law of unjust enrichment to rationalize and develop the right to recover a non-gratuitously conferred benefit set out in section 71 of Malaysia’s Contracts Act 1950. This attempt at legal transplant and modern restatement is made in the hope of injecting principle and clarity into the antique section with the eventual goal of reviving it for practical and modern use.

U.C.C. Section 2-207: When Does An Additional Term Materially Alter A Contract?, Timothy Davis 2016 The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law

U.C.C. Section 2-207: When Does An Additional Term Materially Alter A Contract?, Timothy Davis

Catholic University Law Review

In an effort to provide more clarity to a highly confusing area of law, Professor Timothy Davis surveyed ninety-four cases decided between January 1, 2005 and July 1, 2015 to see when additional terms in contracts constitute a material alteration under the U.C.C. The Article identifies the various factors that courts will consider to determine the issue, including (1) the subject matter of the additional term; (2) the test adopted for determining materiality; (3) the conduct of the parties; (4) the presence of course of dealing evidence; and (5) the language of comments four to U.C.C. section 2-207. Moreover, the …


A Complainant-Oriented Approach To Unconscionability And Contract Law, Nicholas Cornell 2016 University of Michigan Law School

A Complainant-Oriented Approach To Unconscionability And Contract Law, Nicholas Cornell

Articles

This Article draws attention to a conceptual point that has been overlooked in recent discussions about the theoretical foundations of contract law. I argue that, rather than enforcing the obligations of promises, contract law concerns complaints against promissory wrongs. This conceptual distinction is easy to miss. If one assumes that complaints arise whenever an obligation has been violated, then the distinction does not seem meaningful. I show, however, that an obligation can be breached without giving rise to a valid complaint. This Article illustrates the importance of this conceptual distinction by focusing first on the doctrine of substantive unconscionability. I …
