Court-Ordered Interim Measures in International Arbitration: A Comparative Approach 国际仲裁中的法院命令临时措施:比较方法
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-07-13 DOI: 10.5195/jlc.2023.257
I. Bantekas
This paper argues that there is a distinct cross-border law concerning court-ordered interim measures in aid of international arbitration, which is made up of two key (intertwined) sources, namely: the relevant provisions of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and supporting case law and legislation in both Model Law states and non-Model Law states. The principles identified in this paper are assumed to qualify as general principles of law. In order for a court at the seat to grant interim relief in international arbitral proceedings the requesting party must demonstrate a prima facie case worthy of consideration, the likelihood of irreparable harm and a balance of inconvenience. There is at present no general consensus as to ex parte interim measures, with many states and national courts showing significant reluctance to grant these on account of the absence of procedural guarantees that they entail. In equal measure, in the absence of bilateral or multilateral treaties that allow national courts to recognize and enforce foreign interim measures in respect of arbitral proceedings seated abroad, states are equally reluctant to allow parties seated in other jurisdictions to approach their courts for interim relief on the ground that the other party has assets or interests there. Although the courts of some powerful nations allow for such requests, there is no general rule in this regard and none is expected in the near future.
本文认为,在法院命令的协助国际仲裁的临时措施方面,有一个独特的跨境法律,它由两个关键的(相互交织的)来源组成,即:《联合国国际贸易法委员会国际商事仲裁示范法》的相关规定,以及示范法国家和非示范法国家的支持性判例法和立法。本文所确定的原则被假定为具有一般法律原则的资格。为了使所在地的法院在国际仲裁程序中给予临时救济,请求方必须证明有一个值得审议的初步案件、造成无法弥补的损害的可能性和不便的平衡。目前对于单方面的临时措施没有普遍的共识,许多州和国家法院由于缺乏必要的程序保障而极不情愿给予这些措施。同样,在没有双边或多边条约允许本国法院承认和执行针对国外仲裁程序的外国临时措施的情况下,各国同样不愿允许位于其他司法管辖区的当事方以对方在该国拥有资产或利益为理由向本国法院寻求临时救济。虽然一些强国的法院允许这种要求,但在这方面没有一般的规则,而且预计在不久的将来也不会有。

Rethinking Decentralized Antitrust Regimes: A Window on the Future of Protectionism and Overregulation 重新思考分散的反垄断制度:保护主义和过度监管的未来之窗

Over 100 jurisdictions have a domestic competition law, making competition law one of the most widespread forms of economic regulation around the world. The existing decentralized antitrust regimes have increased transaction costs and uncertainties, enforcement conflicts, antitrust protectionism, and global overenforcement of antitrust laws. Yet international coordination has received little attention. Why? Two interest-based explanations suggest that the European Union and the United States have adopted different approaches to regulating competition, making the two leading regulators race to spread their regulatory models. Moreover, the balance of benefits under existing international legal rules continues to favor major corporations in both developed and developing countries. As a result, the developed world, particularly the United States, has viewed attempts at multilateral coordination as against its interests. This Article challenges this conventional wisdom. It argues that the increasing heterogeneity among decentralized antitrust regimes poses a larger long-term threat to the US than is commonly believed. A closer examination of the proliferation of antitrust laws demonstrates why antitrust protectionism and overregulation are not temporary and not destined to level off. In addition, as more developing countries have the capacity to prosecute multinationals and as the strictest jurisdiction has the power to set the de facto world standard, today’s positive balance of benefits will disappear tomorrow. This Article argues that the United States should reverse its hands-off approach to international antitrust coordination and instead enact proposals that place greater convergence among national antitrust regimes. It highlights why the present moment is an opportune time to initiate, but notes that the window for initiation is likely to close as developing countries acquire increased economic strength and enforcement capacity.  
100多个司法管辖区制定了国内竞争法,使竞争法成为世界上最广泛的经济监管形式之一。现有的分散式反垄断制度增加了交易成本和不确定性、执法冲突、反垄断保护主义和全球反垄断法的过度执行。然而,国际协调却很少受到重视。为什么?两种基于利益的解释表明,欧盟和美国在监管竞争方面采取了不同的方法,这使得这两个主要监管机构竞相推广各自的监管模式。此外,现有国际法律规则下的利益平衡继续有利于发达国家和发展中国家的大公司。其结果是,发达国家,尤其是美国,认为多边协调的尝试违背了自己的利益。本文挑战了这种传统智慧。报告认为,分散的反垄断制度之间日益加剧的异质性对美国构成的长期威胁,比人们普遍认为的要大。对反托拉斯法泛滥的更仔细研究表明,为什么反托拉斯保护主义和过度监管不是暂时的,也注定不会趋于平稳。此外,随着越来越多的发展中国家有能力起诉跨国公司,随着最严格的司法管辖区有权制定事实上的世界标准,今天的积极利益平衡将在明天消失。本文认为,美国应该改变其对国际反垄断协调不干涉的做法,而是制定建议,使各国反垄断制度更加趋同。报告强调了为什么目前是启动的合适时机,但也指出,随着发展中国家经济实力和执行能力的增强,启动的窗口可能会关闭。

Rise and Fall of Ordinary Course Covenants and MAE Clauses: Case and Trend Analysis 普通课程契约与MAE条款的兴衰:案例与趋势分析
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-07-13 DOI: 10.5195/jlc.2023.256
Matthew Hyung Kyun Kwon
In the United States, the ordinary course of business provision has received inadequate attention in the field of corporate mergers and acquisitions. As anyone in the field is probably aware, the ordinary course of business covenant (“OC Covenant”) is one of the most common provisions included in almost every merger agreement. Illustrated by the fact that there are remarkably few notable precedents for the OC Covenant, despite its prevalence in merger agreements, notions of implementations and implications of the covenant have not drawn much attention from related professionals and scholars. In turn, material adverse effect provisions (“MAE Provision”) have been “The Beatles” of mergers and acquisitions in the United States. Since its increased practical relevance from the subprime mortgage crisis, many notable precedents have since proved and confirmed that the MAE Provision’s sophisticated and complex enforcement standards made this provision extremely difficult to execute in the real world. However, in actual merger negotiations the provision has never stepped down from its celebrity status. Many influential theorists view the MAE Provision as having absolute authority in connection with risk allocation during the time from signing agreements to closing the transaction, and with such recognition in past decades, the MAE Provision holds an untouchable significance by being perceived as an attractive route to call off agreed transactions in a crisis. This article proclaims that given recent trends in contract drafting and court decisions in connection with risk allocation during the interim period between signing and closing the merger, the role of the OC Covenant has been strengthened. To support this analysis, this article will proceed as follows. In Part I, this article will introduce the general features and background for the MAE Provision and the OC Covenant. In Part II, this article will introduce relevant risk allocation theories that have been suggested to govern risk allocation in order to present the history of important theories and their developments. In Parts III and IV, this article will examine features and developments of the MAE Provision and the OC Covenant with case examinations and literature analysis. The sections will refer to the 2021 data examination that Professor Guhan Subramanian conducted by examining 1,293 merger agreements in the MergerMetrics Database. The analysis will cover current structural shapes, as well as legal interpretation standards from meaningful precedents. Finally, in Part V, this article will propose a new understanding scheme for the risk allocation structure that implements and combines the academic theories, and drafting and litigation trends.
在美国,在公司合并和收购领域,一般的业务提供过程没有得到足够的重视。业内人士可能都知道,商业惯例公约(“法团公约”)是几乎所有并购协议中最常见的条款之一。尽管《法团公约》在合并协议中普遍存在,但很少有值得注意的先例,这一事实说明了这一点,有关《法团公约》的实施和影响的概念并没有引起相关专业人士和学者的太多关注。反过来,重大不利影响条款(“MAE条款”)一直是美国并购的“披头士”。由于次级抵押贷款危机增加了其实际意义,许多值得注意的先例证明并确认了MAE条款复杂而复杂的执行标准使得该条款在现实世界中极难执行。然而,在实际的合并谈判中,这一条款从未放弃其显赫的地位。许多有影响力的理论家认为,在签订协议到完成交易的过程中,MAE条款在风险分配方面具有绝对权威,在过去几十年的这种认识下,MAE条款被视为在危机中取消商定交易的有吸引力的途径,具有不可动摇的重要性。本文宣称,鉴于合同起草和法院裁决在签署和完成合并之间的过渡期间与风险分配有关的最新趋势,法团公约的作用已得到加强。为了支持这一分析,本文将进行如下操作。在第一部分中,本文将介绍MAE条款和OC公约的一般特点和背景。在第二部分中,本文将介绍已经提出的管理风险分配的相关理论,以呈现重要理论的历史和发展。在第三和第四部分中,本文将通过案例研究和文献分析来研究MAE条款和OC公约的特点和发展。这些章节将参考Guhan Subramanian教授通过检查MergerMetrics数据库中的1293项合并协议进行的2021年数据检查。分析将涵盖当前的结构形式,以及从有意义的先例的法律解释标准。最后,在第五部分,本文将对风险分配结构提出一种新的理解方案,该方案将贯彻和结合学术理论、起草和诉讼趋势。

Leading the Way in Pavements: How Central Banks are Using Innovation to Promote Financial Inclusion and Reshape Competition 引领道路:中央银行如何利用创新促进金融包容性和重塑竞争

Central banks have increasingly embraced their role in advancing financial inclusion besides their more traditional goals of maintaining price and financial stability. To that end, some central banks are using not just rules and regulations but innovation through direct intervention. Pix, the instant payments scheme powered by the Central Bank of Brazil, is a case in point. It illustrates the impact a proactive central bank can have on achieving inclusion and competition in payments while flashing out elements related to the discussion about public and private participation in the payments industry. Pix indicates that central-bank protagonism in payments can be a potent tool to promote inclusion and enhance competition, notably when private actors seem unwilling or incapable of doing so by themselves. However, the legitimacy of central-bank innovative interventions in payments may be questioned if central banks do not have a clear legal authority underpinning and setting the boundaries of their activism. This article thus examines how far central banks can go with their innovative actions without overplaying their hand or displacing private initiative and ingenuity.
除了维持价格和金融稳定这一更为传统的目标外,各国央行也越来越重视自己在推进普惠金融方面的作用。为此,一些央行不仅使用规章制度,还通过直接干预进行创新。由巴西央行(Central Bank of Brazil)提供支持的即时支付系统Pix就是一个很好的例子。它说明了一个积极主动的央行可以对实现支付领域的包容性和竞争产生的影响,同时也揭示了与公共和私人参与支付行业的讨论有关的因素。Pix表明,央行在支付领域的主导作用可以成为促进包容性和增强竞争的有力工具,尤其是在私人行为者似乎不愿或无法自己这样做的时候。然而,如果中央银行没有明确的法律权威来支持和设定其行动主义的界限,那么中央银行在支付方面创新干预的合法性可能会受到质疑。因此,本文探讨了央行在不过度发挥作用或取代私人主动性和独创性的情况下,其创新行动能走多远。

Subsequent Remedial Contract Measures: The Case for Applying Rule 407's Bar on Subsequent Remedial Measures in Breach of Contract Claims 合同后续补救措施:适用第407条关于违约索赔后续补救措施的判例
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-03-14 DOI: 10.5195/jlc.v41i1.248
Ben H. Sheppard
Imagine you are preparing a new insurance coverage agreement for 2020 effective April 1, 2020. One exclusion provision from the 2019 policy in particular stands out to you. It is the microorganism exclusion, which bars coverage for losses “directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to: mold, mildew, fungus, spores, or other microorganisms of any type, nature, or description, including but not limited to any substance whose presence poses an actual or potential threat to human health.” Reviewing this exclusion provision, you believe in light of the COVID-19 pandemic it should be made crystal-clear that it includes viruses. Therefore, you add an exclusion for “losses attributable to any communicable disease, including viruses,” to the new 2020 policy. As you weather the COVID-19 pandemic, your business begins to experience litigation over your insurance policy. Your policyholders expect the 2019 agreement to cover losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. To support said position, one plaintiff argues your addition of the communicable diseases exclusion in the 2020 policy supports their position that the 2019 policy covers losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, you know this added language was only meant to clarify future policies, not show that the 2019 policy covered losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether a federal court will admit this evidence depends on the circuit in which it sits. Federal courts are divided on whether Rule 407, which bars evidence of subsequent remedial measures, applies to modified language in contractual agreements.The majority approach applies Rule 407 to contract cases because such disputes apply under the plain-meaning of Rule 407 and implicate its policy goals. On the other hand, a minority of circuits do not apply Rule 407 to contract cases because Rule 407 is written with tort-based language and the policy goals of Rule 407, such as preventing future injuries, are in their opinion not implicated in contract disputes. This article argues the majority approach, that Rule 407 applies in breach of contract cases, is the correct application for future courts to apply when tasked with this matter. Following this introductory Part I, this paper proceeds in four parts. Part II introduces the reader to Rule 407 by explaining the Rule’s history, application, and policy goals. Part III explores the split among federal courts regarding Rule 407’s applicability to contract cases. This portion articulates the rationale for both the majority and minority approaches to Rule 407 in breach of contract disputes. Part IV argues for the majority approach. The majority approach applies the plain-meaning approach to Rule 407’s text and fulfills the Rule’s policy objective. Part V displays how the Federal Rules of Evidence could be amended to conclusively adopt the majority approach for all future contract cases in the federal court system.
假设你正在准备一份2020年4月1日生效的新保险协议。2019年政策中的一项排除条款特别引人注目。这是微生物排除,它禁止承保"直接或间接由以下原因引起或与之相关的损失:霉菌、霉菌、真菌、孢子或任何类型、性质或描述的其他微生物,包括但不限于其存在对人类健康构成实际或潜在威胁的任何物质"。回顾这一排除条款,您认为鉴于2019冠状病毒病大流行,应该明确指出它包括病毒。因此,你在2020年的新政策中加入了“包括病毒在内的任何传染病造成的损失”的排除条款。当您经受住COVID-19大流行的影响时,您的企业开始经历有关您的保险政策的诉讼。您的保单持有人期望2019年的协议涵盖因COVID-19大流行造成的损失。为了支持上述立场,一位原告辩称,你们在2020年保单中增加了传染病除外条款,这支持了他们的立场,即2019年保单涵盖了COVID-19大流行造成的损失。然而,你知道,增加的措辞只是为了澄清未来的政策,而不是表明2019年的政策涵盖了COVID-19大流行造成的损失。联邦法院是否会承认这一证据取决于它所在的巡回法院。联邦法院对规则407是否适用于合同协议中修改过的语言存在分歧。规则407禁止提供后续补救措施的证据。多数办法将规则407适用于合同案件,因为此类争端适用于规则407的简单含义,并涉及其政策目标。另一方面,少数巡回法院不将规则407适用于合同案件,因为规则407是以侵权为基础的语言编写的,而且在他们看来,规则407的政策目标,如防止未来的伤害,与合同纠纷无关。本文认为,多数人的做法,即规则407适用于违约案件,是未来法院在处理这一问题时的正确应用。在绪论部分之后,本文分为四个部分。第二部分通过解释407规则的历史、应用和政策目标,向读者介绍407规则。第三部分探讨了联邦法院在407规则适用于合同案件方面的分歧。本部分阐述了在违反合同纠纷中采用多数和少数方式处理规则407的基本原理。第四部分支持多数人的方法。多数方法将简单含义方法应用于规则407的文本,并实现规则的政策目标。第五部分展示了如何修改《联邦证据规则》,以便在未来联邦法院系统的所有合同案件中最终采用多数决法。
{"title":"Subsequent Remedial Contract Measures: The Case for Applying Rule 407's Bar on Subsequent Remedial Measures in Breach of Contract Claims","authors":"Ben H. Sheppard","doi":"10.5195/jlc.v41i1.248","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5195/jlc.v41i1.248","url":null,"abstract":"Imagine you are preparing a new insurance coverage agreement for 2020 effective April 1, 2020. One exclusion provision from the 2019 policy in particular stands out to you. It is the microorganism exclusion, which bars coverage for losses “directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to: mold, mildew, fungus, spores, or other microorganisms of any type, nature, or description, including but not limited to any substance whose presence poses an actual or potential threat to human health.” Reviewing this exclusion provision, you believe in light of the COVID-19 pandemic it should be made crystal-clear that it includes viruses. Therefore, you add an exclusion for “losses attributable to any communicable disease, including viruses,” to the new 2020 policy. \u0000As you weather the COVID-19 pandemic, your business begins to experience litigation over your insurance policy. Your policyholders expect the 2019 agreement to cover losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. To support said position, one plaintiff argues your addition of the communicable diseases exclusion in the 2020 policy supports their position that the 2019 policy covers losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, you know this added language was only meant to clarify future policies, not show that the 2019 policy covered losses attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether a federal court will admit this evidence depends on the circuit in which it sits. \u0000Federal courts are divided on whether Rule 407, which bars evidence of subsequent remedial measures, applies to modified language in contractual agreements.The majority approach applies Rule 407 to contract cases because such disputes apply under the plain-meaning of Rule 407 and implicate its policy goals. On the other hand, a minority of circuits do not apply Rule 407 to contract cases because Rule 407 is written with tort-based language and the policy goals of Rule 407, such as preventing future injuries, are in their opinion not implicated in contract disputes. \u0000This article argues the majority approach, that Rule 407 applies in breach of contract cases, is the correct application for future courts to apply when tasked with this matter. Following this introductory Part I, this paper proceeds in four parts. Part II introduces the reader to Rule 407 by explaining the Rule’s history, application, and policy goals. Part III explores the split among federal courts regarding Rule 407’s applicability to contract cases. This portion articulates the rationale for both the majority and minority approaches to Rule 407 in breach of contract disputes. Part IV argues for the majority approach. The majority approach applies the plain-meaning approach to Rule 407’s text and fulfills the Rule’s policy objective. Part V displays how the Federal Rules of Evidence could be amended to conclusively adopt the majority approach for all future contract cases in the federal court system.","PeriodicalId":35703,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Maritime Law and Commerce","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90030234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
