In the corporate world, budget-conscious managers strive to improve their organization's
productivity, generating more product, more efficiently, with fewer resources. In government,
productivity is virtually irrelevant. Government agencies are spared the rigors of the market and
survive forever regardless of their efficiency. In this respect, unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme
Court is just like any other government agency.

Mayer Brown JSM Legal Update
In a recent UK case, Steven Horkulak v Cantor Fitzgerald International [2003] EWHC 1918 (QB), the High Court made it clear that a high pressure working environment and well paid job cannot justify conduct that is likely to destroy the relationship of implied trust and confidence.

Washington Legal Foundation, Bulletin on Punitive Damages
On April 7, 2003, in State Farm
Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Campbell, the
U.S. Supreme Court issued its most
definitive pronouncement on punitive
damages to date. The Court’s
ruling will have a profound impact
on a wide range of civil lawsuits,
and comes at a time when judges
and juries are issuing increasingly
inflated punitive awards.

Recession, terrorism, war and epidemic have converged to produce what many call the “perfect storm” currently deluging the global airline industry. Major carriers struggle to survive, old assumptions are questioned, new business models are emerging, financing is scarce. Airports cannot help but suffer as passenger traffic falls off a cliff and costs rise due to the new security and health measures required to lure travelers back to the air.

Insurance Day
INSURANCE and reinsurance pools are often troublesome, with disputes starting with a vengeance once long-tail liabilities come home to roost, particularly if the extent of those liabilities drives pool members to insolvency. If pool members are stuck with inward liabilities, the only real solace is the available reinsurance.

American Bar Association Litigation Magazine, Vol. 29, No. 4
All has not been well in punitive damages land, where the
landscape has been dotted with startling jury verdicts—occasionally
in the billions of dollars and not infrequently in the
tens or hundreds of millions—that reflect a system that is too
often out of control, a system in which one jury might find no
punishable misconduct while the next imposes an eight- or
nine-digit sanction for the same product design defect or
allegedly deceptive corporate marketing practice.
