Book excerpt: The National Asset Management Bill 2009 has been widely described in the Irish media as the most important piece of legislation in the history of the state. It is the Irish government's attempt to resolve the current economic and banking crisis in Ireland. The plan is to establish the National Asset Management Agency to function as a 'bad bank', acquiring all property development loans of over €5m from Irish banks. There is widespread confusion about what the Act will do so this book will be invaluable.

Book excerpt: An invaluable reference guide to practitioners in comprehending the complex and technical provisions of this major piece of legislation whether considered in the domestic or international contexts. 'Uniquely, in a single work, this Reference Guide includes an excellent summary of the events that led to NAMA, thought provoking commentaries on key aspects of the legislation and a truly comprehensive annotated text of the 2009 Act itself. The combined result is a guide that gives the user a complete and objective perspective on one of the most keenly debated pieces of legislation enacted in this country. It will be of great value to anybody interacting with NAMA or with an interest in the work of the Agency.' Frank Daly, Chairman, NAMA A comprehensive, authoritative and accessible guide to Ireland's National Asset Management Agency Act 2009. References a wide range of relevant sources including legal, administrative and accounting texts, text of Dail Eireann and Seanad Eireann debates, EU Commission pronouncements and, in relation to specific sections and amendments, the speaking notes and supporting papers of the Minister for Finance, the late Brian Lenihan. Presented in two parts - commentaries and legislation with annotation. Commentaries: Annotators' commentaries deal with a number of high-level themes posed by the Great Recession as it has affected Ireland, including: Resilience or the vulnerability of the Irish economy and banking system as shaped by the boom of the preceding decade. The need to provide for a Special Resolution Regime (SRR) as has been done in the UK, US and elsewhere. Consideration of the exceptionalist nature of certain provisions of the Act, by reference to relevant existing legislation in response to the economic crisis. Commentary on the status of NAMA as an involuntary creditor. Consideration of the role of the European Commission in the context of the development and implementation of the legislation. Obligations placed on directors and senior management of participating institutions which suggest comparison with the US Sarbanes-Oxley provisions, as well as corporate governance issues more generally. Legislation with annotation: The text of the Act is reproduced in full with the legal significance of each and every section clearly explained. Relevant court decisions are identified and their significance considered. There is particular emphasis on the European Union (EU) context and the impact of the law of the Union, specifically EU competition law, undistorted competition and the regime of the single market. An overview commentary locates the legislation in its wider, global context and relates it to themes of concern to policy-makers and to the realm of jurisprudence. Includes amendments and statutory instruments enacted up to June 2010 NOTE: Updates to this title will be published at appropriate intervals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This toolkit is designed for policy makers and stakeholders who are considering the establishment of a publicly funded asset management company (AMC). An AMC is a statutory body or corporation, fully or partially owned by the government, usually established in times of financial sector stress, to assume the management of distressed assets and recoup the public cost of resolving the crisis. AMCs were first used in the early 1990s in Sweden (Securum) and the United States (the RTC), and again during the Asian crisis (for instance, Danaharta in Malaysia, KAMCO in the Republic of Korea). The 2008 financial crisis marked a renewal of the use of this tool to support the resolution of financial crises (for instance, NAMA in Ireland, SAREB in Spain). The toolkit does not address broader bank resolution issues. It has a narrow focus on the specific tool of a public AMC established to support bank resolution, and with the objective of providing insight on the design and operational issues surrounding the creation of such AMCs. It seeks to inform policy makers on issues to consider if and when planning to establish a public AMC through: · An analysis of recent public AMCs established as a result of the global financial crisis · Detailed case studies in developed and emerging markets over three generations · A toolkit approach with questions and answers, including questions on design and operations that are critical for authorities confronted with the issue of whether to establish an AMC · An emphasis on “how to†? that is, a practical versus a principled approach. The toolkit is structured as followed: Part I summarizes the findings on the preconditions, the design, and the operationalization of public AMCs. Part II provides case studies on three generations of AMCs, whose lessons are embedded in Part I. The case studies cover emerging and developed markets, and have been selected based on the lessons they offer.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article considers the Irish National Asset Management Agency established under the Act of the same name (2009) as a case study which raises interesting questions about how taking the option of creating a 'bad bank' has worked in practice in the current economic context. This article focuses specifically on more recent times as the original state rescue of the Irish banking sector stabilises.The creation of NAMA will be considered against a number of criteria which are often used as analytical tools, particularly in a law and economics analysis of legal events and regulation. The selected criteria include the question of whether appropriate monitoring and oversight of the Agency was put in place to begin with, so that agency problems could be addressed effectively. A second criteria is a consideration of the scale of market intervention involved in the creation of NAMA. Third, the opportunities for rent-seeking i.e. the extraction of fees and payments by those engaging with NAMA will be considered. Finally, allegations of problems which are more egregious that these first three will also be considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of the leading company law textbook, provides the most authoritative and comprehensive commentary on Irish company law following the commencement of the Companies Act 2014. The Companies Act 2014 makes the most far-reaching and fundamental changes to Irish company law in two generations, putting forward a radically different approach whereby the private company limited by shares will become the new model company. The structure of the fourth edition of this highly regarded title mirrors this new Act. The Act comprises over 1,448 Parts and represents the modern statement of the law applicable to the formation of companies, administration and management to their winding up and dissolution, incorporating the rights and duties of their officers, members and creditors. The Act commences on 1 June 2015 and introduces significant changes for companies operating in Ireland. This work has been expanded and revised to account for these legislative changes and important case law. As chairperson of the Company Law Review Group, whose recommendations greatly informed the new Act and as a leading practitioner of company law, Tom Courtney has a unique insight to the new legislation, its purpose and interpretation.The fourth edition is virtually a complete re-write and at approximately 2,900 pages it is some 400 pages longer than the last edition. Fully updated to take account of the dozens of judgments from the Irish and UK courts that have been delivered since the previous edition as well as the new statutory provisions, the fourth edition of The Law of Companies is a 'must have' for all practitioners, students and users of Irish company law.

Excerpt: The National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) (Irish: ) is a body created by the Government of Ireland in late 2009. It is in response to the Irish financial crisis and the deflation of the Irish property bubble. NAMA will function as a bad bank, acquiring property development loans from Irish banks in return for government bonds, primarily with a view to improving the availability of credit in the Irish economy. The original book value of these loans is 77 billion (comprising 68bn for the original loans and 9bn rolled up interest) and the original asset values to which the loans related was 88bn with there being an average Loan To Value of 77% and the current market value is estimated at 47 billion. NAMA is controversial, with politicians (who were in opposition at the time of its formation) and some economists criticising the approach, including Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz who has said that the Irish government is "squandering" public money with its plan to bail out the banks. Two years after NAMA's establishment the Irish government was compelled for other but similar reasons to seek an EU-IMF bailout in November 2010, the outcome of which will have considerable effects on NAMA's future operations. As a result of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial Review, Third Edition covers the grounds for review, defences to an application, the remedies and procedures involved and covers the Rules of the Superior Courts 2011, SI 691/2011. It includes cases such as article 40 inquiries (habeas corpus applications) and references to the European Court of Justice under article 234 TEC. It is the definitive text on judicial review available in Ireland and also of important reference in the United Kingdom. The law in relation to the reasonableness and proportionality of an administrative decision has been re-examined in the light of the Supreme Court decision in Meadows v Minister for Justice. Also re-examined is the law in relation to a decision-maker's obligation to give reasons for his decision in the light of the Supreme Court's decision in Mallak. As well as these, the book features a detailed account of the meaning and effect of a 'proportionality analysis' of a public act, indeed proportionality features prominently throughout the book in conjunction with the discussions on Meadows. There is also a detailed discussion of a court's approach to 'deference' in respect of a public act. In this new edition, the procedure chapters have been rewritten to take account of changes brought about by SI 691/2011 and SI 345/2015. Along with this a new chapter has been added on the philosophy of judicial review.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally written for the fiftieth anniversary of the Constitution of Ireland, this book is an account of how the Constitution's requirements have been implemented by the legislature and interpreted by the courts. In this way it provides an integrated and contextual account of constitutional law in Ireland. It goes as far as to place it in context of some foreign constitutions, especially the Constitutions of the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, as indeed the Irish courts refer frequently to other countries for guidance in interpreting the Constitution. The book largely falls into four parts. The first few chapters are introductory and cover the drafting and adoption of the Constitution, some features of the State and its citizens, and the judicial review of laws. The next few chapters deal with the various institutions of government and with the activities of the State in the international arena and in relation to fiscal matters. Then following on from this there are a number of chapters which consider what may be termed the various civil liberties and rights. There is a final brief section, towards the end of the book which deals with the various legal breaches of the Constitution. This new edition has been extensively rewritten to account for the enormous to take into account the tumultuous changes in Irish Constitutional Law in the intervening years. Challenges to articles, referenda, new legislation, and cases are all judicially considered. Michael Forde and David Leonard offer the reader everything they need to know on this complex subject.
