Section 10(B) and the Vagaries of Federal Common Law: The Merits of Codifying the Private Cause of Action Under a Structuralist Approach
Get PDFFew issues in the field of securities law have proved as controversial as the legitimacy and proper application of the implied private cause of action for securities fraud under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its regulatory counterpart, Rule 10b-5. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 was expected by many observers to bring about sweeping changes in the implied private cause of action, which critics charge has been abused by overzealous litigants bringing frivolous lawsuits. In his timely article, Professor Fallone argues that most of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act\u27s changes to the implied private cause of action are merely procedural in nature and fail to address the real problem: the scope of liability for securities fraud under Section 10(b) has been rendered incomprehensible by conflicting court decisions and is no longer consistent with the overall goals of the federal securities laws. The author calls for Congress to reassert control over the content of the implied private cause of action under Section 10(b) by codifying it.Professor Fallone begins with an overview of the most recent securities legislation and an explanation of why it does little to resolve the ambiguities surrounding the implied private cause of action. He then chronicles the history of the cause of action, describing its elements as they currently exist and how they have evolved over the years. The author then points out specific problems arising from the elements of the cause of action having been left up to the courts, and how the common-law process has resulted in an interpretation of the cause of action that is inconsistent with the overall goals of the federal securities laws. Finally, Professor Fallone recommends that Congress codify the cause of action employing a structuralist approach, a method of statutory construction which emphasizes consistency with the operating principles of a statutory scheme

The Environmental Pre-History of Prince Edward Island 1769--1970: A Reconnaissance in Force
No full textAcademic analysis of the historical interaction between humans and the environment has been extremely limited on Prince Edward Island. The following thesis is one of the first studies to utilize Island Studies research methodologies to examine Prince Edward Island as a case study in environmental history. Prince Edward Island's "islandness" plays a significant factor in this history because any environmental changes are amplified by the compression of the limited geographical area of the Island.The main question revolves around how Islanders' attitudes have evolved toward the environment. Before a conscious environmental movement began in the 1970s, Islanders have had concerns over the environment. These early concerns over the environment generally revolved around conserving natural resources that had economic value as opposed to preserving the environment for the sake of nature. However, there were some surprising examples of individuals who were ahead of their time as far as understanding the importance of preserving the environment. Thus, if such awareness toward environmental issues did not emerge in an organized way until the 1970s, this thesis examines changing attitudes over time, to create a "pre-history" of environmental concerns.The thesis is organized chronologically and thematically. The introduction describes the research method, environmental history historiography, the importance of conservation law in environmental history, Island Studies research methods, and the idea of garden and Eden mythologies effecting legislation on islands. Chapter One reviews the impact of the Aboriginal and French impact to the environment, because their limited footprint justifies why the study focuses on the British Colonial and post-Confederation periods. Chapter Two outlines the impact that the British settlement era had on the Island's environment. Chapter Three covers changing environmental attitudes from the post-Confederation period to the Second World War. The final chapter covers postwar environmental impacts until the watershed of the Comprehensive Development Plan in 1970.The thesis examines the evolution of attitudes toward the environment on Prince Edward Island through one major research method: the provincial government's legislative records. The Journals of the Legislative Assembly provided the bulk of the research material because they contain records of the legislation and government reports. Researching environmental related legislation is often the most fundamental research method in environmental history because it can be used to illustrate when and why humans became concerned for regulating and protecting the environment.This thesis adds to the historiography of Prince Edward Island by expanding environmental history scholarship. Aside from geographies, natural history articles, forestry research, and works by Alan MacEachern focusing on National Parks and the Institute of Man and Resources, environmental history has been limited on Prince Edward Island. However, Prince Edward Island has a long history of trying to protect the environment, which was accelerated by "islandness" and limited geographical area. It is hoped that this thesis will add historical perspective to policy makers working on sustainable development in the future.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 50-04, page: 2155

A song for Edward Whelan: Commemoration, Catholicism, and Classical Liberalism in the afterlife of a tragic hero
No full textEdward Whelan was one of the popular heroes of Prince Edward Island's Confederation-era "golden age": champion of responsible government, Father of Confederation, brilliant journalist and orator. For over a half-century after his tragic death in 1867, a series of campaigns were launched to erect a public monument to his memory. Despite their pointedly non-partisan, non-sectarian trappings, each ultimately failed to generate broad support. The reasons for that failure hold up a mirror to a post-Confederation Island society in need of heroes but divided by its past, while the story of how the monument was variously justified exposes the fluid and contingent nature of public memory as the real Edward Whelan became a convenient vessel in which to place the values and aspirations of his memory keepers.
Edward Whelan etait l'un des heros populaires de > de la Confederation de l'Ile-du-Prince-Edouard: champion du gouvernement responsable, pere de la Confederation, brillant journaliste et orateur. Pendant plus d'un demi-siecle apres sa mort tragique en 1867, une serie de campagnes ont ete lancees pour eriger un monument public a sa memoire. Malgre leurs pieges ostensiblement non partisans et non sectaires, chacun n 'a finalement pas reussi a generer un large soutien. Les raisons de cet echec offrent un miroir a une societe insulaire post- confederation qui a besoin de heros mais qui est divisee par son passe, tandis que l'histoire de la facon dont le monument a ete diversement justifie expose la nature fluide et contingente de la memoire publique en tant que veritable Edward Whelan est devenu un recipient commode dans lequel placer les valeurs et les aspirations de ses gardiens de la memoire
