论我国反收购条款的规制限度

在我国,反收购条款对上市公司因应敌意收购具有特殊价值.但实务部门对反收购条款的特殊价值与运用策略还缺乏清晰认识,相关理论研究也不足.我国反收购实践中被广泛应用的反收购条款主要有分期分级董事会条款与董事资格限制条款,绝对多数条款等其他反收购条款则未被采用.就被采用的反收购条款来看.存在许多问题,或规定不当或违反法律.因此.应从理论上明确各种反收购条款的制度空问,以便寻求合理的法律规制限度.     

Wives are Told: Don't Blame the Bank, Sue Your Solicitor: Royal Bank of Scotland v. Etridge (No. 2) and other appeals [1998] 4 All E.R. 705

This case note considers the Court of Appeal decision in Royal Bank of Scotland v. Etridge (No. 2) and other appeals [1998] 4 All E.R. 705. It concerns the familiar scenario of a wife jointly mortgaging (or providing a guarantee for a mortgage of) the family home in order to secure financial support for a business run by her husband. The House of Lords decision in Barclays Bank v O'Brien [1994] A.C. 180 has given rise to a range of litigation in this area, and the spotlight has now moved from the banks to an examination of the quality of advice given by solicitors. The banks have heeded the warnings in O'Brien and now insist that wives are told to obtain independent legal advice. It will be seen that, following Etridge, if the bank tells the solicitor to give the wife legal advice upon undertaking the transaction, that will be sufficient to protect the bank, notwithstanding that the advice was either inadequate or even not actually given. The onus to ensure that proper advice is given is shifted squarely on to the solicitor. The note concludes that the decision is indicative of the shift of judicial opinion against wives seeking to avoid charges over matrimonial homes and in favour of banks.

The Police and the New Magistracy: Independent Members and the New Police Authorities

Independent appointed members to police authorities were introduced as part of the reforms brought about by the Police and Magistrates' Courts Act 1994. This radical change to the make-up of police authorities was defended by government ministers as a necessary reform in order to broaden the expertise and experience available in such bodies. Critics, by contrast, saw the change as a move to further centralise control, and as a means of reducing local democratic input, over policing. Using data from a national telephone survey of police authority clerks, and case studies of three police force areas, this article examines the role of `independent' appointed members to local police authorities. We argue that the early signs are that the new members are becoming well integrated into police authorities, although such bodies have been significantly depoliticised as a result of this and other changes.

Testing for the Equality of Maximum-Likelihood Regression Coefficients Between Two Independent Equations

Consider the case where one obtains maximum-likelihood estimates of regression coefficients for the respective populations from which each of two large independent samples is drawn. A question sometimes asked about the results of such an analysis is whether there is a difference between a coefficient in one population, _a, and the same coefficient in another population, _b. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of two test statistics that have been used to address this problem. Our results suggest that one statistic produces valid conclusions, while the other fails.     

安慰函制度的法国经验及其启示

法国担保法改革在《法国民法典》中引入了"安慰函"的概念,丰富了大陆法系国家有关"人的担保"的立法。法国法因此树立了一个范例,其有关"安慰函"的定义、判定、签发人的担保义务的识别、"安慰函"与"保证"和"独立担保"等传统"人的担保"类型之间关系的厘清,无论在理论上、立法上还是实务上都具有重要的比较法意义。     

略论行政执法监督的资源整合

行政执法监督的资源整合首先应当在致力于实现技术层面之监督职能独立及责任独立的同时,加强各执法监督主体之间的信息互动,形成监督合力。其次,应当建立专门的人大监督部门,真正发挥人大在行政执法监督方面的制度功能。再者,政府及其部门应当重视以新兴的互联网空间及商业媒体为代表的社会舆论监督,尊重其作为新兴监督平台或一定民意平台的事实地位并将其整合为体制内行政执法监督之有效资源。     

对索尼可充电电池垄断案的分析

2004年年底发生了四川德先科技状告索尼搭售可充电锂电池的案件,由于我国反垄断法律规定的不完善,很多学者认为该案中的原告德先前途黯淡。笔者承认我国反不正当竞争法关于禁止搭售规定模糊、适用性不强,所以主要从一般关于搭售的理论出发分析索尼的搭售行为,法律上的正义得不到伸张,但是理还是可以论的。     

全球化与中国立法的独立发展

立法,作为实现国家主权的重要途径,既需要保持其独立性,又要与全球化、与国际立法接轨;既要在立法方面符合中国国情,又要符合全球化所要求的公理、原则;既要发挥全球化为中国立法提供的理论资源优势,又要防止西方法学思想的“殖民化”。     

量刑对象视野下的量刑程序改革

刑法现代化下的量刑应是指刑事责任的裁量,其蕴含着"量刑对象是犯罪人"这一量刑基本理念,要求量刑程序应独立于定罪程序,刑事审判应先解决定罪问题,后解决量刑问题。然而,《量刑程序意见》所确立的相对独立量刑程序并不完全符合如此量刑理念的要求,该模式在很大程度上致使当前的量刑程序改革陷入困境。有鉴于此,在被告人不认罪或者辩护人作无罪辩护的案件中建立独立量刑程序模式,应是我国量刑程序改革所要努力的方向。     

合作型组织中行政人员独立人格的塑造

公共组织发展的历史表明,以官僚制组织为典型形态的传统公共组织形成的是权威、价格整合机制,其组织成员被整合为依附性和工具性人格。合作型组织吸取传统组织整合的优势,以信任为主导因素,形成权威、价格和信任三维有机的组织整合机制。在此整合机制中,行政人员的自我同一性与组织同一性达到有机统一,最终被塑造为独立人格。
