Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gruenberg v. Goldmine Plantation, Inc., the Louisiana Court of Appeal noted that “[o]ur substantive law...offers no remedy for the minority shareholder with substantial holdings who is out of control and trapped in a close[] corporation.” Such an observation can be explained, at least in part, by the lack of a “shareholder oppression” doctrine in Louisiana -- a doctrine designed to protect minority shareholders in closely held corporations from the improper exercise of majority control. Times, however, have changed. With the passage of the new Louisiana Business Corporation Act (LBCA), Louisiana becomes the fortieth state in the country to provide statutory relief for oppressive conduct. Effective January 1, 2015, minority shareholders in Louisiana closely held corporations who are unjustifiably denied their participatory and financial rights can seek an escape from their “trapped” status by compelling the corporation to purchase their shares. This article examines the oppression provisions of the new LBCA. The provisions reflect a great deal of thought and wisely incorporate many of the developments in oppression law over the past few decades. Moreover, the provisions unquestionably improve the rights of minority owners in Louisiana closely held corporations. While this article is not intended to provide an exhaustive treatment, it does seek to present a summary of the provisions and to call attention to some of the more noteworthy language. Part II discusses the nature of the closely held corporation and explains the national development of the doctrine of shareholder oppression. Part III provides an overview of the LBCA's oppression scheme and an analysis of selected liability and remedy provisions of the statute.

These are Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, and the United States. Three of the 10 topics covered have been expanded, with further plans to expand on five additional indicators in next year's report. Additionally, the Doing Business rankings are now based on the distance to the frontier measure where each economy is evaluated based on how close their business regulations are to the best global practices. This provides a more precise view of each economy's performance and its improvement over time. The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 2014, ranks economies on their overall 'ease of doing business,' and analyzes reforms to business regulation identifying which economies are strengthening their business environment the most. Doing Business illustrates how reforms in business regulations are being used to analyze economic outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and for the wider economy. It is a flagship product produced in partnership by the World Bank and IFC that garners worldwide attention on regulatory barriers to entrepreneurship. More than 60 economies have used the Doing Business indicators to shape reform agendas and monitor improvements on the ground. In addition, the Doing Business data has generated over 2,000 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals since its inception.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in Japan written by Masahiko Aoki and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates regarding corporate governance have become increasingly important in Japan as the post-war model of bank-based, stakeholder-oriented corporate governance faces the new pressures associated with globalization and growing investor demands for shareholder value. Bringing together a group of leading scholars from economics, law, sociology and management studies, this book looks at how the Japanese approach to corporate governance and the firm have changed in the post-bubble era. The contributions offer a unique empirical exploration of why and how Japanese firms are reshaping their corporate governance arrangements, leading to greater diversity among firms and new 'hybrid' forms of corporate governance. The book concludes by looking at what effect these incremental but transformative changes may have on Japan's distinctive variety of capitalism.

Given the cross-border nature of new technologies, international cooperation among all relevant stakeholders is critical. The note is structured as follows: Section II describes the relations between technology, business, and law, Section III discusses the nature and functions of commercial law; Section IV provides a brief overview of developments in fintech; Section V examines the interaction between technology and commercial law; and Section VI concludes with a preliminary agenda for legal reform to accommodate the use of new technologies.
