Small firms choose state insolvency
A growing number of financially distressed small businesses are turning to state courts to settle their bankruptcy cases, avoiding the arduous insolvency proceedings of federal courts, legal experts say. Since the late 1980s, the number of bankruptcy filings has fallen by almost 42 percent -- from almost 60,000 in 1989 to 35,000 in 2003, according to PACER, the federal government's case filing database. But the total number of small-business failures has held steady around 650,000 since 1989, according to the Small Business Administration. Columbia University professor Edward Morrison argues in a new study that may be why Chapter 11 cases are becoming a rarity, dropping by 60 percent from 1991 to 2003. In the study, Morrison notes that SBA data show that less than 20 percent of failing small businesses use federal law to reorganize or liquidate.
Ziegel: Class Actions, remedy of choice for consumers
The Globe and Mail reported last month (Globe and Mail, Dec. 20) that eight Canadian universities and research institutes were to share $20-million as part of a class-action settlement involving five companies alleged to have engaged in price fixing in the sale of vitamins. The news was a welcome reminder that consumers are not the only ones to benefit from class actions. The lessons to be drawn from class actions are in fact twofold. The first is that class actions are the only serious game in town to provide companies and, assuredly, governments at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels with a strong incentive to observe the law. The second lesson is how lamentably these public authorities have failed to live up to the high expectations generated in the 1960s and 1970s with the adoption of much new consumer protection legislation and the creation of departments of consumer and corporate affairs at the federal and provincial levels.
