Courts Here Don't Rubber Stamp Stipulated Motions for a Protective Order
2009-09-15 06:28:00
It happens every so often in these parts — the court denies a stipulated protective order. Suffice it to say, courts around here don’t rubber stamp litigants’ attempts to privatize court proceedings. A case in point from a Western District trademark infringement suit last week: “The parties request an expansive protective order for all confidential information that may be disclosed during the discovery phase of this proceeding. The parties have agreed to designate as ‘CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL …. any trade secret or other confidential research, design, development, financial, or commercial information.’ The parties have also agreed to designate as ‘ATTORNEYS ONLY MATERIAL’ any material that ‘is entitled to a higher level of protection due to its commercial sensitivity.’ “The Court need not enter the stipulation as an order of the Court because (1) the proposed order contains provisions that are m...

Tainted China Milk Ends Up In The US. In The Courts, Anyway.
2008-10-24 07:14:00
China Hearsay (welcome back, Stan!) just posted on how parents of some Chinese children who "died or became ill after drinking infant milk formula contaminated with melamine say they will sue a subsidiary of a Chinese milk powder manufacturer based in the U.S. state of Maryland." The basis for suing in the United States is that "Qingdao Shengyuan Milk Co. Ltd., a dairy products manufacturer based in the eastern China city of Qingdao, had a Delaware-registered investment subsidiary with offices in Maryland, rendering it subject to U.S. law." The story comes from Radio Free Asia, and a parent claims to have "a Maryland-based lawyer who will represent us in this collective compensation suit.†The article then talks about how the parents are "willing to pay for the legal fees and expenses" and the parents have already been requested to "send initial legal fees" and the "U.S. lawyers were hoping for a preliminary hearing in a Maryland district court soon." China Hearsay questio...
China's Courts And Tainted Milk. Never The Twain Shall Meet?
2008-10-21 21:06:00
This New York Times article does as good a job of any at setting out the issues China is facing in deciding whether to allow milk taint victims to pursue their claims in court. The article is, somewhat wrongly entitled, "Courts Compound Pain of China's Tainted Milk." It does a nice job dealing with the issues of whether China's courts are set up for these sorts of mass tort cases and also whether the rejection/acceptance of such lawsuits is being driven from Beijing or locally. I would think most Western lawyers would agree China eventually needs a system that can handle class action torts (or just mass tort cases), but the much tougher question is what it should do in the meantime.
China's Courts, Tenth "Best" Out of Twelve.
2008-09-21 07:59:00
Just came across this article discussing a ranking of various Asian countries' judicial system, conducted by Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) (h/t to Silk Road International Blog): 1,537 corporate executives working in Asia rated the judicial systems in the countries where they reside, using such variables as the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) and corruption. Transparency, enforcement of laws, freedom from political interference and the experience and educational standards of lawyers and judges were also considered. "Year after year our perception surveys show a close correlation between how expatriates rate judicial systems and how they rate the openness of a particular economy," PERC said. "Better judicial systems are associated with better IPR protection, lower corruption and wealthier economies." The ratings are on a scale of zero to ten, with zero being the best: 1. Hong Kong, 1.45 2. Singapore, 1.92 3. Japan, 3.50 4. South Korea,...
UK?s first official sharia courts
2008-09-17 12:47:00
From The Sunday Times September 14, 2008'ISLAMIC law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases. The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through the county courts or High Court. Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims. It has now emerged that sharia courts with these powers have been set up in London, Birmingham, Bradford and Manchester with the network?s headquarters in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Two more courts are being planned for Glasgow and Edinburgh. Sheikh Faiz-ul-Aqtab Siddiqi, whose Muslim Arbitration Tribunal runs the courts, said he had taken advantage of a clause in the Arbitration Act 1996. Under ...

The CCP And China's Courts. The World Is Getting Darker.
2008-07-06 17:15:00
Dr. Willy Lam of the Jamestown Foundation just came out with an extremely incisive and disconcerting article on the increasing politicization of China's courts. The article is entitled, "The CCP Strengthens Control over the Judiciary," and to grossly summarize, it very convincingly argues that Hu Jintao is moving to ensure even greater political control over China's judicial system. The courts are to "perpetually uphold the political orientation of being loyal to the party, loyal to the country and the people, and loyalty to the law." For simplification purposes, I have always divided China legal matters into three categories. Commercial/civil cases, criminal cases, and political cases and, for obvious reasons, I have always focused on the commercial/civil side. My question is whether these recent edicts regarding China's judiciary and how courts are to rule will impact rulings in civil cases. More particularly, does being loyal to "the country and the people" mean we will...

The event took place atop Miami's Gansevoort South Hotel overlooking South Beach on its first day of business on Monday, March 24, 2008.

Barack Obama courts Cuban voters in Miami
2008-05-24 03:09:00
Some points: 1. How is Bush responsible for Chavez if Chavez was elected in 1999? Don't many Obama supporters like Danny Glover and Sean Penn support Chavez. The two I mentioned visited Chavez! Hello! Earth to Obama! 2. Mentioning Bush in every sentence with McCain is an effective tactic for wooing stupid people, one of his major constituencies, I guess. 3. Obama voted against a trade agreement with our best (only?) ally in South America, Colombia, but it's Bush (and McCain who is Bush) who is alienating them. His solution, like his solution to everything else, is to give away my money; this time, in aid. 4. He did say he'd meet without pre-conditions but then changed. Who cares? He doesn't know what he's saying. 5. I suspect that the main reason Cubans are Republicans is their more entrepreneurial attitude and firm grip on the middle and upper rungs on the economic ladder, not because of Cuba policy. Article below. MIAMI — Sen. Barack Obama, who once said he w...

Courts to safeguard children in divorce - Singapore
2008-05-10 00:17:00
Courts to safeguard children in divorce  - Singapore New court to focus on child welfare in divorce proceedings; another to handle troubled teens By Chong Chee Kin   THE father produced a picture drawn by his child, depicting the mother as a monster. The mother produced her own. The same child drew the father as a monster. Such ugly scenes in divorce cases - where the child is used as a ‘bargaining chip’ to settle other matters - are played out too often for the Chief Justice’s liking. Said CJ Chan Sek Keong: ‘Parents who take an unnecessarily adversarial stand can worsen a dispute and obscure the real needs of the child. They often exacerbate their mutual hostility instead of focusing on the key issue of parental responsibilities.’ To ensure that children are not embroiled in their parents’ conflicts, a new Family Child Court, which will put the children’s interests before the adults’, will be set up later this year. The need for su...

Acne crocodile courts from Browns Acne's Crocodile courts are strange, but I kind of like that. From afar they look like they're covered in flock which tickles my funny bone as I love flock. The crocodile has a lovely weather-beaten feel to it and the warm tan colour goes really well with chambray, blacks and darker browns. They're available from Browns for £240 and will make a great shoe for the transition from winter to summer.

Giuseppe Zanotti?s champagne leather courts
2008-04-09 01:47:00
Giuseppe Zanotti's champagne leather courts Giuseppe Zanotti's shoes are almost always remarkable in some way or another, but I think the designer has been doing some particularly good work recently, with these shoes being just one example of that. Champagne (or "cream") shoes can look a little too bridal for everyday use, but these manage to escape any weddingy associations with the stacked wooden heel and platform front, which would look a little odd peeking out from underneath a wedding dress, but just right with something shorter. The colour will work with most things, but I'd be most tempted to try it with some of this season's navy for an elegant look. These are $599 at Zappos Couture.
