Agency Law – Episode 6: Agency Estoppel and Ratification 5:48

cách đây 6 ngày trước5:48

5:48

In this episode, Professor Seth C. Oranburg examines the doctrines of estoppel and ratification in agency law. He explains how estoppel protects third parties who reasonably rely on a principal’s conduct—creating an appearance of authority—even when an agent lacks formal authorization. In contrast, Professor Oranburg shows how ratification occurs when a principal later approves an agent’s unauthorized actions, thereby binding themselves to those actions as if they had been authorized from the outset. Drawing on key sections of the Restatement (Third) of Agency, he highlights the subtle distinctions between these doctrines and illustrates their real-world applications through practical examples. Listeners will learn why clear communication and proactive management of agent authority are essential for principals, and what steps third parties should take to verify an agent’s scope of authority. Tune in to understand how these overlapping yet distinct doctrines work to balance fairness and accountability in agency relationships, and to prepare for our final review of agency law in the next lecture.…

Real-world examples illustrate how failing to notify can leave a principal exposed to claims for unauthorized actions. Tune in to learn why timely and effective communication is essential for mitigating risk and maintaining trust in business relationships, setting the stage for our next lecture on the doctrines of estoppel and ratification.…

Tornetta v. Musk and the Future of Corporate Law (featuring Professors Bainbridge and Alon-Beck) 1:02:41

cách đây 14 weeks trước1:02:41

1:02:41

In this episode of Organized , Professor Seth Oranburg is joined by UCLA Law Professor Stephen Bainbridge, one of the nation’s foremost corporate law theorists, and Case Western Reserve Professor Anat Alon-Beck, a leading expert on corporate governance, to unpack Tornetta v. Musk , a case that has sparked debates about power, process, and the future of Delaware corporate law. Elon Musk’s $56 billion compensation package—the largest in corporate history—was struck down by Delaware’s Court of Chancery. But the court’s ruling is about much more than Musk or Tesla. It raises fundamental questions: Are courts overstepping into corporate boardrooms? Do shareholder votes really matter when process and transparency are flawed? Could this ruling challenge Delaware’s dominance as the corporate law capital of America? Professor Bainbridge critiques the decision as a judicial overreach that risks undermining board autonomy and innovation, while Professor Alon-Beck argues it’s a necessary correction that reinforces the importance of governance safeguards and shareholder trust. Together, they explore: The tension between judicial oversight and managerial discretion. Why ratification votes by shareholders aren’t always a “cleanse-all” solution. Whether Delaware risks losing its corporate law crown to other states. The broader implications for executive compensation and conflicted-controller transactions. Host Professor Seth Oranburg challenges both perspectives with devil’s advocate questions, ensuring a lively, balanced, and thought-provoking debate. The episode bridges academic theory with real-world stakes, offering listeners insights into governance, corporate law, and the evolving balance of power between shareholders, boards, and visionary leaders like Musk.…

The tax and legal risks for organizations transitioning from nonprofit to for-profit. The role of governance, oversight, and accountability in hybrid corporate models. AI is reshaping the world, but can the law keep up? And is OpenAI’s approach the future of innovation—or a cautionary tale of mission drift?
