A Complete View Of The Cathedral: Claims Of Tortious Interference And The Specific Performance Remedy In Mergers And Acquisitions Litigation, Luke Nikas, Paul B. Maslo 2013 Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP

A Complete View Of The Cathedral: Claims Of Tortious Interference And The Specific Performance Remedy In Mergers And Acquisitions Litigation, Luke Nikas, Paul B. Maslo

Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review

A bank promises to lend several billion dollars to fund a buyer’s purchase of a target company. The buyer enters into a merger agreement with the target. Thereafter, the economy plummets, and the bank decides that breaching its contract with the buyer will cost less than performing. The buyer seeks specific performance. The target also sues the bank, alleging tortious interference with the merger agreement. Billions of dollars are on the line. This is the reality lived by many investment banks that committed to fund leveraged buyouts during the recent economic downturn. Most of these matters were resolved in private …


Environments, Externalities And Ethics: Compulsory Multinational And Transnational Corporate Bonding To Promote Accountability For Externalization Of Environmental Harm, Matthew A. Susson 2013 Chapman University School of Law (Student)

Environments, Externalities And Ethics: Compulsory Multinational And Transnational Corporate Bonding To Promote Accountability For Externalization Of Environmental Harm, Matthew A. Susson

Buffalo Environmental Law Journal

Developing nations often look to their bounty of natural resources or willing labor as a means of attracting international investors. While national and local governments frequently perceive the arrival of a multinational corporate presence as a boon to their economy, the potential for government instability ineffectiveness or corruption may facilitate environmentally exploitive corporate practices. Furthermore, residents of the subject nation may be left without proper legal recourse. Legislators have made various efforts in both the United States and abroad to propound Corporate Codes of Conduct to address such concerns, but despite laudable intentions, features of the increasingly global economy "accentuate …

The Economics And Perplexing Utah Law Of Prejudgment Interest, Mark A. Glick, James R. Kearl, Cory D. Sinclair

Utah OnLaw: The Utah Law Review Online Supplement

Legal rules are often designed to provide different incentives to plaintiffs and defendants. With regard to prejudgment interest, however, it is not clear why there should be a bias in either direction. Absent a convincing argument for leaning toward one party or the other, we conclude that as a normative matter, the ideal rule for prejudgment interest should be neutral with regard to delay: plaintiffs are compensated fully for delay and defendants pay the market rate for the benefits they implicitly derive from holding money that belongs to the plaintiff. This simple “neutrality rule” implies, of course, that all claims …

Tort Liability In The Age Of The Helicopter Parent, Elizabeth G. Porter 2013 University of Washington School of Law

Tort Liability In The Age Of The Helicopter Parent, Elizabeth G. Porter

Articles

Discussions of parental liability by courts and legal scholars are often tinged with fear: fear that government interference will chill parental autonomy; fear that parents will be held liable for their children’s every misdeed; and, recently, fear that a new generation of so-called “helicopter parents” who hover over their children’s every move will establish unrealistically high legal standards for parenting. However, in the context of common law suits against parents, these fears are misguided. To the contrary, courts have consistently shielded wealthier parents — those most likely to be defendants in civil suits — from exposure to liability for conduct …
