  • Draft Convention on Bankruptcy, Winding-Up, Arrangements, Com
    Bulletin of the European Communities Supplement 2/82 Draft Convention on bankruptcy, winding-up, arrangements, com­ positions and similar proceedings Report on the draft Convention on bankruptcy, winding-up, arrange­ ments, compositions and similar pro­ ceedings EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Commission The draft Convention on bankruptcy, winding-up, arrangements, compositions and similar proceedings was drawn up in pursuance of Article 220 of the Treaty establish­ ing the European Economic Community, under which the Member States were to 'enter into negotiations with each other with a view to securing for the benefit of their nationals ... the simplification of formalities governing the reciprocal recogni­ tion and enforcement of judgments of courts or tribunals ... '. The need for negotiations on these matters had been clear to the Member States from the Community's inception. The negotiations culminated in the Convention on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters, which was signed in Brussels on 27 September 1968 and has since been amended by the Convention on the accession of the new Member States to the Convention, signed in Luxembourg on 9 October 1978.1 However, bankruptcies, compositions and other analogous proceedings were excluded from the scope of the Judgments Convention. As early as 1960 it had been decided, because of the special problems involved, to negotiate a special convention concerning such proceedings, and a paral­ lel working party had been set up under Commission auspices, composed of govern­ ment and Commission experts together with observers from the Benelux Commis­ sion for the study of the unification of law and the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

  • Magna Carta and the Development of the Common Law
    Magna Carta and the Development of the Common Law Professor Paul Brand, FBA Emeritus Fellow All Souls College, Oxford Paper related to a presentation given for the High Court Public Lecture series, at the High Court of Australia, Canberra, Courtroom 1, 13 May 2015 Magna Carta and the Development of the Common Law I We are about to commemorate the eight hundredth anniversary of the granting by King John on 15 June 1215 of a ‘charter of liberties’ in favour of all the free men of his kingdom [of England] and their heirs. That charter was not initially called Magna Carta (or ‘the Great Charter’, in English). It only acquired that name after it had been revised and reissued twice and after the second reissue had been accompanied by the issuing of a separate, but related, Charter of the Forest. The revised version of 1217 was called ‘The Great Charter’ simply to distinguish it from the shorter, and therefore smaller, Forest Charter, but the name stuck. To call it a ‘charter of liberties’ granted by king John to ‘all the free men of his kingdom’ of England is, however, in certain respects misleading. The term ‘liberty’ or ‘liberties’, particularly in the context of a royal grant, did not in 1215 bear the modern meaning of a recognised human right or human rights. ‘Liberty’ in the singular could mean something closer to that, in the general sense of the ‘freedom’ or the ‘free status’ of a free man, as opposed to the ‘unfreedom’ of a villein. ‘Liberties’, though, were something different (otherwise known as ‘franchises’), generally specific privileges granted by the king, particular rights such as the right to hold a fair or a market or a particular kind of private court, the right to have a park or a rabbit warren which excluded others from hunting or an exemption such as freedom from tolls at markets or fairs.

The scope for fraud arises because the separation of ownership and control in the company facilitates asymmetric information2 in two key circumstances: when a company seeks to raise capital from outside investors and when a company provides information to its owners for stewardship purposes.3 Corporate misinformation, such as the use of off balance sheet finance (OBSF), can distort the allocation of investment funding so that money gets attracted into less well performing enterprises (which may be highly geared and more risky, enhancing the risk of multiple failures). Insofar as it creates a market for lemons it risks damaging confidence in the stock markets themselves since the essence of a market for lemons is that bad drives out good from the market, since sellers of the good have less incentive to sell than sellers of the bad.4 The neo-classical model of perfect competition assumes that there will be perfect information.
