Bhupendra V. Patel Interview
No full textBhupendra V. Patel (Class of 1973) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on June 7, 2021. Mr. Patel was born in Sunav, Gujarat, a small town in India, where he attended school until the eleventh grade. He went on to pursue a degree in electrical engineering from BVM Engineering College. During his interview, Mr. Patel recalled how long his commute was to the university, roughly about fifteen kilometers from Sunav, and detailed some of the hardships he endured as a college student. After graduating in 1970, he sought to earn a graduate degree in the United States. The Florida Institute of Technology admitted Mr. Patel into their graduate engineering program. Despite him having a degree in engineering and working towards his masters, Mr. Patel endured difficulties securing employment, and worked as a dish washer, earning two dollars per hour. A friend told him about SMU, which led Mr. Patel to apply to the school. He was admitted to SMU in 1971 and moved to Dallas, Texas. Despite having an easier time in Dallas than in Florida, he still encountered difficulties. His wife moved from India to the United States to be closer to him and worked 60 to 80 hours a week to help him complete his degree. Mr. Patel graduated from SMU with his Master's in Electrical Engineering in 1973, after which Mr. Patel and his wife purchased a home and began establishing their life in the United States. After several years, he acquired his permanent resident card. During his interview, he described how Dallas' Indian community changed throughout the decades, with particular regard to the growth of the community in the area. Between the 1980s and 2000s, Patel owned several hotels, worked at Texas Instruments, and became involved with the India Association of Texas. He discusses his large family, which includes three generations of SMU students and alumni. At the time of the interview, he was living in Southlake, Texas, where his immediate family has been established for several decades
Illegality after Patel v Mirza
No full textEnglish law on illegality in private law (eg illegal contracts) has long been regarded as both difficult and unsatisfactory. In 2016, the Supreme Court, sitting as a panel of nine, looked at the area again in Patel v Mirza. Here £620,000 had been paid for the defendant to bet on share prices using inside information (which, if carried out, would constitute the crime of insider dealing). The agreement was not carried out because the information was not forthcoming. Was the claimant entitled to repayment of that money? In answering that question, a majority of the Supreme Court set out a controversial new approach to this area of the law, which was vigorously rejected by the minority judges. This lecture examines the reasoning in the case and asks whether Patel v Mirza constitutes a triumph or a tragedy for the law of illegality
