Podcasts about Commercial law

Most people have no idea they've unknowingly signed themselves into government jurisdiction—but once you see it, you can't unsee it. In this episode, 9 Ether, a powerhouse of knowledge on legal sovereignty, exposes how the system keeps us bound and, more importantly, how to break free. 9 Ether reveals how U.S. citizenship is structured as a corporate contract, how the Constitution is used to control rather than protect, and why birth certificates, taxes, and social security numbers are not what you think they are. If you've ever questioned the system, this conversation will show you the path to true autonomy.For more information, visit lukestorey.com/soecourt or lukestorey.com/soedebt and use code LUKE to get $250 off.

Speaker: Professor Eva Micheler (LSE)Abstract: Reliance on agency-theoretic reasoning has led to substantial theoretical and empirical advances in company law scholarship, but the narrow focus on board-level actors and phenomena has disconnected the analysis of the company from the reality of the economic organisation it is meant to enable and support. We follow Oliver Williamson's call for a ‘law, economics, and organization' approach, and build on Elinor Ostrom's ‘institutional analysis and development' framework to propose a narrative model of the company in terms of nested levels of governance. We argue that our model works as a positive description of the law as it is, and puts us in a stronger position to evaluate the likely consequences of certain normative interventions, which we illustrate with some observations about ongoing debates in corporate governance.The paper is jointly written by David Gindis and Eva Micheler and can be found at Taylor and Francis Online.Eva Micheler studied law at the University of Vienna and at the University of Oxford before joining LSE Law School in 2001. She is a Professor of Law at the London School of Economics. Professor Micheler is also on the management committee of the Systemic Risk Centre at LSE. She was a TMR fellow at the Faculty of Law of the University of Oxford and teaches regularly at the University of Vienna and the Bucerius Law School in Hamburg.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website:http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/

In episode 107 of the [i3] Institutional Investment Podcast, we speak with Scott Donald, Associate Professor at the School of Private and Commercial Law of the University of New South Wales, about his research into governance and the now mandatory annual member meetings of superannuation funds. How do funds field questions from members? How can we check they answer all questions? What impact do these meetings have on the corporate culture and brand of a fund? After collecting nearly five years of data, Scott shares his insights into these interactions with members. Overview of Podcast with Associate Professor Scott Donald: 02:00 Researching the intersection of Annual Member Meetings and governance 03:00 Five years ago a rule came into effect that funds needed to hold annual member meetings. Do funds see it as a box ticking exercise, or do they take the opportunity to build a brand through these meetings? 6:30 The Q&A process in these meetings are way more specified than in a (listed company) AGM 09:00 Member meetings don't have the disciplinary effect that an AGM has 10:30 How do we know if the chair has identified some of the more uncomfortable questions? 11:30 There isn't really a mechanism for a member to say: ‘Hey, I asked this question and you didn't really give an answer' 13:00 Most questions get asked about fund returns 16:00 Climate risk questions are the second biggest in terms of the number of questions, after returns. We were interested to see whether all of those questions were from activists 17:30 What signal do we take from the questions being asked? I think there is a danger of misinterpreting that signal 23:00 Inconvenient questions for members 26:00 I hope funds will take a more bespoke and thoughtful approach to member meeting, rather than a this-is-best-practice and move on 27:30 False and misleading statement risk 30:00 Legitimacy is an issue in super and member meetings are a way of putting a face to super 31:00 We don't know the extent to which the regulator is switched on to all these questions being asked 32:30 We are close to finalising the fifth season of member meetings and we will write that up 35:00 Upcoming research might look at the use of AI in super funds

Recently, an independent evaluation was conducted on Foodstuff's trial of facial recognition technology in their security system at 25 of their outlets in the North Island. The evaluation found that using facial recognition in security cameras reduced crime and harmful behaviour at foodstuffs outlets by 16%, based on an examination of 1742 facial recognition alerts for repeat offenders. However, there were also 9 instances were customers were misidentified as offenders by the system, with one woman who was wrongly removed from a Pak'n'save launching a case againsts facial recognition technology with the Human Rights Review Tribunal, claiming that the technology was discriminatory. Oto spoke to Guhan Gunasekara, an Associate Professor of Commercial Law at the Univeristy of Auckland, to discuss the implications of facial recognition technology at retail outlets, and what we can expect in the aftermath of the independent evaluation into the trial.

For their regular catch-up, Oto spoke to the Green Party's Ricardo Menéndez March the party's new emissions reduction plan. He spoke to Professor Guhan Gunasekara - an Associate Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Auckland, to discuss an independent evaluation of the trial usage of facial recognition technology in security cameras at Foodstuffs outlets. And he spoke to Nicola Gaston - A professor in the department of Physics at the University of Auckland, to discuss cuts to humanities and social science programs in the Marsden fund. Sasha spoke to  Dr Julie Douglas, National President of the Tertiary Education Union, about the recent cuts to humanities and social sciences from the Marsden Fund. And he spoke to Thomas Dowling, Environment Lecturer and a co-lead on a new earth observation lab launched in collaboration with the University of Auckland.

Choosing a career like sales coaching wasn't even on the school's radar when I picked my subjects. It's not something you can study at university either. But here's the twist: my Commercial Law lecture unknowingly planted a seed in me. That little nudge set me on a path I never saw coming. It just shows that sometimes the most unexpected moments shape our future the most.

Facial recognition has been on the rise within technology, and so has our dependency on said technology. However, concerns have been raised with such risks regarding this. Producer Yesenia spoke to Professor in the Department of Commercial Law at the University of Auckland, Alex Sims, on the concerns facial recognition has posed for today's technology, and the various alternatives people can use with dealing with sensitive information online.

Speaker: Professor Christopher Nicholls (University of Western Ontario)In 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression, the Yale Law School and Harvard Business School launched an innovative joint program: the “Law-Business Course”. The program's principal architect was Yale law professor William O. Douglas, best remembered today as the longest serving member of the US Supreme Court and one of the most provocative. For a short time, this remarkable academic initiative brought together professional schools at America's two foremost universities, foreshadowing the interdisciplinary approach to law and business education that animate modern JD/MBA programs. The creation and short life of this unique academic collaboration provide a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual dynamism of early twentieth century business law education and the politics and practical exigencies facing academic pioneers of that important era. The story of this forward-thinking interdisciplinary perspective also offers important insights into current approaches to business law and, in particular, the pivotal role of modern finance theory in the development of the study, practice, and theory of corporate law today.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website:http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/

It recently came to the public's attention that the Inland Revenue Department had been providing social media firms with the personal details of taxpayers to be used in marketing campaigns.  While the IRD have tried to reassure taxpayers that their details were anonymised using a hashing process that would replace the letters in their names with numbers, many have raised concerns about the potential privacy implications that could come with their personal data being sold to social media companies, as well as the efficacy of the hashing process itself.  Wire Host Oto spoke to Gehan Gunasekara, Associate Professor in Commercial Law at the University of Auckland, to discuss the IRD's selling of taxpayer data to social media firms and its potential implications.

Speaker: Professor Mark Roe (Harvard Law School)Chair: Felix Steffek (University of Cambridge)Abstract: The notion of stock-market-driven short-termism relentlessly whittling away at the American economy's foundations is widely accepted and highly salient. Presidential candidates state as much. Senators introduce bills assuming as much. Corporate interests argue as much to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the corporate law courts. Yet the academic evidence as to the problem's severity is no more than mixed. What explains this gap between widespread belief and weak evidence?Bio: Mark J. Roe is a professor at Harvard Law School, where he teaches corporate law and corporate bankruptcy. His research interests cover bankruptcy (corporate bankruptcy and reorganization), corporate law and corporate finance. He wrote Strong Managers, Weak Owners: The Political Roots of American Corporate Finance (Princeton, 1994), Political Determinants of Corporate Governance (Oxford, 2003), and Bankruptcy and Corporate Reorganization (Foundation, 2014).

Technology commentator Alex Sims joins Kathryn to discuss the issue of the right to repair, which also covers the right to use and maintain goods. As more of what we use comes to rely on software to operate, where are consumers left when things don't work as they should - or stop working completely? She'll look at the example of Tesla requiring owners to use Tesla hitches or be unable to tow, and printers that now require a monthly subscription to work. The Greens have just had a private members bill pulled from the ballot that focuses on the right to repair. Alex looks at what it will and won't cover. Alex Sims is an Associate Professor in the Department of Commercial Law at the University of Auckland Business School and an expert on blockchain technology, copyright law and consumer law.

Speaker: Professor Chris Thomale (University of Vienna, University Roma Tre)Abstract: According to a widely received concept coined by Hansmann/Kraakman, “asset partitioning” denotes a bundle of doctrines surrounding the relationship of business owners as well as their business and private creditors, so-called entity shielding and owner shielding. Often, this configuration is associated with a legal entity, e.g., providing the “corporate veil” which allegedly protects owners' assets from business creditors. Contrary to this intuition, it will be shown that legal personality, while offering a metaphorical framework for asset partitioning, is no institutionally indispensable prerequisite for it. To support this claim, we will look at historical and contemporary comparative evidence from continental-European as well as Middle- and South-American legal orders. This allows us to compare asset partitioning with and without legal personality and evaluate the policy implications of each.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website at http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/

Earlier this month it was revelled Police are using powerful new AI to help them assess the risk posed by offenders when officers are called out to emergencies. But the use of AI programmes has raised questions about the invasive nature of the technology, inherent biases and whether our legal framework will be able to protect the rights of everyone. Associate Professor in Commercial Law at University of Auckland Alex Sims talks to Mark Leishman about why more needs to be done to ensure police use of the technology doesn't cause more problems than it solves.

Speaker: Professor Marc I. Steinberg (SMU Dedman School of Law)Abstract: This presentation, based on Professor Steinberg's recent Oxford University Press book Rethinking Securities Law, which was awarded Winner — Best Law Book of 2021 by the American Book Fest Awards, focuses on the need to “rethink” the U.S. securities laws — with particular emphasis on the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and as amended). In both transactional and litigation settings, with frequency, U.S. securities law mandates apply that are erratic and antithetical to sound public policy. The objective of this book — and the presentation — is to highlight the deficiencies that exist under the current regimen, address their failings, provide recommendations for rectifying these deficiencies, and set forth a thorough analysis for remediation in order to prescribe a consistent and sound securities law framework. The book has received widespread favorable reviews from both practitioners and academicians. Professor Steinberg will focus on several key subjects that are addressed in the book.3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website at http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/
