New means of legal protection for the American consumer

Public Interest Law, as practised by several private consumer organizations and law firms, has come to play an important role in US consumer protection. The author analyses important cases brought to litigation and discusses their impact on the behavior of private firms and government agencies. There is reason to believe that by better funding as planned by Congress and Government these organizations will take an even more active and constructive part in consumer action.

Zusammenfassung »Public Interest Law«, das durch verschiedene Konsumentenorganisationen und Anwaltsgemeinschaften durchgesetzt wird, spielt inzwischen eine bedeutende Rolle im Verbraucherschutz der USA. Der Autor untersucht wichtige Rechtsstreitigkeiten, die der Verwirklichung von »Public Interest Law« im Verbraucherinteresse dienen, und erörtert ihren Einfluß auf das Verhalten von Anbietern und staatlichen Behörden. Durch eine bessere Finanzierung können diese Organisationen eine noch größere und konstruktivere Rolle für den amerikanischen Verbraucher ausüben; dies wird inzwischen auch von der neuen Regierung und vom Kongreß anerkannt und findet seinen Ausdruck in entsprechenden Gesetzesinitiativen.

Dealing with problem employees: A legal guide for employers

One of the more difficult responsibilities of employers is dealing with problem employees. Employee misconduct and poor performance can lead to productivity issues, morale problems, and inferior quality products. For these reasons, it behooves employers to address performance issues rather than allow them to fester. By understanding which federal employment laws can be triggered when making employment decisions, avoiding common mistakes in applying these laws, and implementing key policies, employers can provide structures in the workplace that allow them to address problems effectively and minimize their legal exposure.

The legal framework and initiatives for promoting safety in the United Arab Emirates

Injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is a rapidly developing country with fast economic growth, demographical and environmental changes that are associated with new hazards emerging at a similar pace. The UAE as a federal entity has federal and local systems responsible for safety policy, regulations and enforcement. To set priorities for safety promotion and injury prevention, it is necessary to have data on the most frequent external causes of injury and the main individual, equipment and environmental risk factors that contribute to injury. However good quality data for injury prevention are scarce. The aim of this paper is to describe the scale of injury as a public health problem in the UAE, and the development of safety policies, regulations and promotion efforts with special emphasis on traffic, occupational and child safety.

The ten commandments of legal risk management

Effective legal risk management is not a separate field of endeavor. Rather, it is inextricably linked with good management and with ethical management; managers who behave professionally and according to ethically defensible principles of action are quite unlikely to find themselves and their organizations stuck in a legal and/or ethical quagmire. Behavioral decision theory offers some explanations for why those managers who go astray do so, but explaining how basic human tendencies, uncorrected, may incline us to questionable decisions is not to justify such decisions. Managers who follow the guidelines set forth in this article may nonetheless find themselves or their companies under assault in the law courts or the court of public opinion, but should such an unlikely event occur, they will be far more likely to be able to successfully defend themselves.     

The legal and ethical components of executive decision-making: A course for business managers

The debate on whether and how to teach business ethics in graduate business programs continues. The authors of this article suggest specific content and processes for a course aimed at giving MBA candidates the awareness, tools, and mental processes necessary to recognize and address ethical issues in decision making. The inclusion of labor law, discrimination issues, consumer protection legislation, securities laws, and an overview of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights coupled with the development of utilitarian, deontological, and egalitarian analysis of ethical issues provides the tools and processes necessary for ethical decision making. These tools and processes are applied in several class experiences using cases, moral audits, and the development of a code of ethics to help students acquire the knowledge, skills, and values needed in ethical decision making.S.

Accounting for money: The legal presuppositions of money and accounting in ancient Greece

This paper aims to extend the purview of Business History to the ancient world by exploring the hypothesis that the development of money was stimulated by legal institutions which regulated payment of compensation for torts. The hypothesis was propounded by Philip Grierson who argued that the Germanic institution of wergeld established the earliest concept of value which underlies money's function as a unit of account. It considers Grierson's thesis in the context of archaic Greece. Although archaic Greek law developed differently from the Germanic wergeld, the legal-political sphere in Greece provides decisive impetus to the development of money and accounting. The article examines the role of commerce in archaic Greece and its relationship to monetisation.
