Арбитраж в трех измерениях по Паулссон Ян

Февраль 22, 2010 По Оставить комментарий

Абстрактный:

Право, применимое в арбитраж отличается от права, применимого в арбитраж. Последнее приводит арбитров решить, как они это делают. Первое относится к источнику их авторитет и влияние их решения - правовой порядок, который регулирует арбитраж. По territorialist диссертацию, арбитраж может иметь никаких оснований, отличных от правовой системы конкретного государства, где проводится арбитраж. Это устаревшее представление опровергается простым наблюдением, что фактическое множество правовых систем могут привести в действие в арбитраж. Некоторые французские ученые способствовать понятие автономной арбитражного порядке. Так как они в конечном счете стремиться к установлению этого порядка на полагание его признание очень заказов состояние, из которого они утверждают автономию, их идея круговой и по сути не более разодетые вариант обычных горизонтальных плюрализма. Но модель горизонтального плюрализма не учитывает важные упорядочения деятельности арбитражных. Арбитраж в современном обществе точно воспринимается как комплекс, трехмерном виде плюрализма, , в котором правовые нормы (в) не только тех государств и (II) часто пересекаются.

Friend or Foe? Social Networking and E-Discovery

Февраль 22, 2010 По Оставить комментарий

A treasure trove of discoverable information

Attorneys making discovery requests in litigation now have to consider whether and to what extent they will seek information from social networking pages.

There are two ways to get information from social networking sites. The first is to search for it directly and see how much information can be obtained without resorting to an ethics-violating friending subterfuge. There’s nothing wrong with obtaining information that is publicly available; if an adverse party, witness or custodian of data exposes elements of his or her personal universe for any and all to see on a social networking site, it is fair game.

The second way is by discovery request, interrogatory or deposition. If an individual has been identified as one of the key custodians of information in a corporate party to litigation, and that person’s corporate e-mail is being produced, it should by now be standard to inquire if he or she used other personal e-mail services (г.  Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo ) to communicate on business-related matters relevant to your litigation. This has to be taken even further now: Does this person have a social networking page, and if so, has this person communicated with anyone on the subject matter of this litigation using the messaging system within that site, and if so, please produce those messages.

Sometime in the not too distant future, litigation hold notices will include social networking pages.

New French Case Removes Automatic Privacy Shield From Employee E-Mails, Making Them More Amenable to US Discovery : H&H Хроника защиты данных

Февраль 21, 2010 По Оставить комментарий

A new decision released on 8 Январь 2010 from the French high labor court (the Cour de Cassation Chambre Sociale) may provide some grounds for arguing that a party in France can review a French employee’s e-mails and electronically stored information to determine whether the data is relevant to a U.S. судебный процесс, without the employee’s knowledge or presence.  This is a significant development in the perennial tension between EU privacy law and U.S. discovery principles.

European Union policies protecting personal privacy almost always conflict with United States policies that grant litigants full and complete discovery of documents and electronically stored information in U.S. court actions.  The conflict is particularly acute in France, where a French corporation participating in U.S. litigation may easily run afoul of the French Blocking Statute (Law No. 68-678, as amended), data processing laws (г. Law No. 78-17, as amended), and the EU Directive 95/46 on Personal Data (“Directive”), среди прочих.

Действительно, after years of goading by U.S. суды, French authorities even prosecuted someone, a French lawyer, under the blocking statute.  His crime was attempting to comply with a U.S. court order compelling production of documents.  See In re Christopher X, Cour de Cassation, Chambre Criminelle, Париж, Декабрь 12, 2007, No. 07-83228 (French Supreme Court upholding conviction and €10,000 fine against French lawyer attempting to facilitate collection of evidence for use as ordered in a U.S. judicial proceeding).  Examples of U/S. goading include In re Vivendi Universal S.A. Secs. Litig., No. 02 Civ. 5571, 2006 WL 3378115 at *3 (S.D.N.Y. 2006) (French blocking statute did not subject parties to a “realistic risk of prosecution”) and Minpeco S.A. в. Conticommodity Servs., ООО, 116 FRD. 517 at 528 (S.D.N.Y. 1987) (“this is not a situation in which the party resisting discovery has relied on a sham law such as a blocking statute to refuse disclosure”).

E-Discovery Failings That Amount to Gross Negligence | Law.com

Февраль 20, 2010 По Оставить комментарий

Over the past decade, the law governing litigants’ obligations to preserve and collect electronic discovery materials has developed substantially. Much of this development was spearheaded by a series of leading decisions issued by federal district court Judge Shira A. Scheindlin in a long-running litigation known as Zubulake.[СНОСКА 1] В последнее время, Scheindlin — in a new ruling that she entitled “Zubulake Revisited: Шесть лет спустя” — held that many of the document preservation and collection obligations that were first recognized in Zubulake and its progeny by now had become so well established that litigants’ failure to comply with them warranted severe sanctions, both monetary and substantive. Her ruling, in Pension Committee of the University of Montreal Pension Plan v. Banc of America Securities, ООО (SDNY. Джон. 11, 2010), sounds yet another wake-up call to litigants about the seriousness and alacrity with which they must address document preservation and collection once litigation reasonably can be anticipated.

Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weeny E-Discovery | Law.com

Февраль 20, 2010 По 1 Как

E-discovery was once the sole concern of large law firms involved in large-scale litigation. But as EDD increasingly becomes an issue in smaller cases for smaller law firms, small and solo lawyers are learning some hard lessons about electronic evidence in litigation.

Michael Barnsback, an employment and civil litigation senior associate with DiMuro Ginsberg says e-discovery is increasingly an issue for his 12-attorney firm in Alexandria, Virginia. While it is a challenge, he thinks it can sometimes benefit a small firm like his. He says there was a time when big law firms could count on bigger budgets and staff to out-muscle opposing counsel at smaller law firms. В частности, the document dump, the practice of sending as many files for review close to the start of a trial, has long been a favorite tactic for overwhelming an opponent. “It’s certainly leveled the playing field for us,” он говорит,. “You don’t need a big team to do review. If someone dumps a truckload of boxes on you, now you can scan them, put them in a searchable format, and one person on one computer can find what you need to go into the case prepared.

Alcatel-Lucent признаки дело с U.S. о взяточничестве случае | Reuters

Февраль 19, 2010 По Оставить комментарий

Telecoms equipment gear maker Alcatel-Lucent  set aside 93 миллионов евро ($125.5 миллион) last quarter to settle a U.S. bribery investigation that began six years ago.

The Franco-American group said that it had reached agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Committee under which it would pay fines, be put on a three-year probationary period, and be subject to a French anti-corruption monitor.

In exchange, the Department of Justice would defer prosecution of the company over charges that it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act&после;s anti-bribery provisions.

The accord must be approved by U.S. courts in order to take effect, according to a February 11 regulatory filing from Alcatel-Lucent.

“If finalized, the agreements would relate to alleged violations of the FCPA involving several countries, including Costa Rica, Тайвань, and Kenya,” said the company in the filing.

The investigation centered on an Alcatel executive Christian Sapsizian who pleaded guilty in 2007 to arranging for bribes to be paid to Costa Rican officials to obtain mobile contracts.

12 Convicted in Pinot Noir Fraud Scheme | Law.com

Февраль 19, 2010 По Оставить комментарий

Worse than a faux pas, that embarrassing slip of the tongue, this was a case of faux Pinot involving French wine traders and local vintners that duped the California wine-making empire of E.&J. Gallo.

The faked red wine produced more than a blush. A court in the medieval town of Carcassonne in southwest France has convicted a dozen people in the scheme in which local wine exported to the United States was passed off as more expensive Pinot Noir. The scheme hit every level of the chain that takes the wine from the vine and gets it to U.S. потребителей.

Claude Courset of the Ducasse wine trading company, portrayed as the kingpin of the scheme, was given the stiffest sentence in Wednesday’s decision, a six-month suspended prison term and a euro45,000 ($61,000) штраф.

“Our wines are irreproachable,” he said in a telephone interview Thursday, adding that he “reserves the right to appeal.”

The company that sold Ducasse’s wine in the United States, Sieur d’Argues, was fined euro180,000 ($244,000).

They had been charged with “fraud in the quality and composition of the wine.”

Eight vintners and wine cooperatives in the Aude and Herault, part of the larger Languedoc-Roussillon region, all charged with deception and forgery, were given sentences ranging from a month suspended prison to fines of euro40,000 ($54,000).

The Carcassonne court described the fraud as “organized and structured.”

Prosecutor Francis Battut said in a telephone interview Thursday that Merlot and Syrah grapes were passed off as Pinot Noir in a scheme dating from January 2006 to March 2008.

A spokeswoman for Gallo, a veritable winemaking empire in the San Joaquin Valley, said the company is “deeply disappointed” that its supplier, Sieur d’Arques, was found guilty, adding that Gallo is no longer selling that wine to customers.

Gallo officials said Wednesday that the only French Pinot Noir that was potentially misrepresented to Gallo was the 2006 vintage.

Пенсильвания школ шпионит за студентами, используя ноутбук Веб-камеры, претензии иск

Февраль 19, 2010 По 1 Как

A suburban Philadelphia school district remotely activates the cameras in school-provided laptops to spy on students in their homes, a lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday alleged.

According to the lawsuit filed by a high school student and his parents, the Lower Merion School District of Ardmore, Па. has spied on students and families by “indiscriminate use of and ability to remotely activate the Webcams incorporated into each laptop issued to students by the School District.”

Приблизительно 1,800 students at the district’s two high schools have been given laptops as part of a state- and federally-funded “one-to-one” student-to-laptop initiative.

Michael and Holly Robbins of Penn Valley, Па, said they first found out about the alleged spying last November after their son Blake was accused by a Harriton High School official of “improper behavior in his home” and shown a photograph taken by his laptop.

An assistant principal at Harriton later confirmed that the district could remotely activate the Webcam in students’ ноутбуки. “Michael Robbins thereafter verified, through [Assistant Principal] Г-жа. Matsko, that the school district in fact has the ability to remotely activate the Webcam contained in a student’s personal laptop computer issued by the school district at any time it chose and to view and capture whatever images were in front of the Webcam, all without the knowledge, permission or authorization of any persons then and there using the laptop computer,” the lawsuit stated.
