Penalty Clauses through the Lens of Unconscionability Doctrine: Birch v. Union of Taxation Employees, Local 70030

The author reviews the recent case of Birch v. Union of Taxation Employees, Local 70030, in which the Ontario Court of Appeal evaluated—in terms of the doctrine of unconscionability—the enforceability of a clause fining union members who cross picket lines during legal strikes. He applauds the decision as an important step toward jettisoning the traditional common law penalty doctrine, according to which stipulated remedy clauses designed to have an in terrorem effect upon a contracting party are per se unenforceable. The author criticizes the decision, however, for its failure to examine features of the case that would have been ignored under the penalty doctrine but that should have been prominent under the unconscionability doctrine. These features include: other provisions of the contract, the relative difficulty of arriving at “a genuine pre-estimate of the loss” as opposed to a “reasonable penalty”, and the process by which the contract was formed. The author concludes that, in failing to examine these features, the court missed an opportunity to clarify the changing law on the enforceability of stipulated remedy clauses.L’auteur analyse l’arrêt Birch v. Union of Taxation Employees, Local 70030 dans lequel la Cour d’appel de l’Ontario a évalué sous l’angle de la théorie de l’iniquité la validité d’une clause imposant une amende aux membres d’un syndicat qui traversent la ligne de piquetage lors d’une grève légale. L’auteur approuve la décision de la cour, qu’il considère comme un pas significatif vers la possibilité de se défaire de la doctrine traditionnelle des clauses pénales de la common law selon laquelle les clauses destinées à avoir un effet in terrorem sur une des parties au contrat étaient réputées impossibles à exécuter. L’auteur critique néanmoins le jugement pour avoir ignoré certains aspects de la situation ; des éléments auxquels la doctrine traditionnelle des clauses pénales ne s’intéresse pas, mais qui, du point de vue de l’auteur, auraient dû être examinés sous l’angle de la théorie de l’iniquité. Parmi ces éléments, l’auteur soutient que la cour aurait dû se pencher sur les autres clauses du contrat, sur la difficulté d’évaluer les coûts anticipés de la réparation du préjudice et sur le processus de formation du contrat. L’auteur conclut que, parce que la cour n’a pas examiné ces éléments, elle a manqué une occasion de faire évoluer la common law dans le domaine de la mise en oeuvre des clauses pénales

The Role of Nonprofits in the Production of Boilerplate

Drafting contracts-by which I really mean the documents that embody contracts-requires investments of time, experience, and ingenuity. Those investments may yield significant returns because the quality of contractual terms can be an important determinant of the gains that parties realize from trade. This in tum suggests that, from an economic perspective, it is important to understand how contracts are produced. It seems particularly important to examine the production of contracts or individual contractual terms that are widely used-that is to say, boilerplate. In a market oriented society, boilerplate is the predominant feature of the network of legal obligations that provides the formal structure of economic activity. As a result, depending on the extent to which parties\u27 behavior tracks their formally defined obligations, the quality of boilerplate can be a crucial determinant of overall patterns of economic activity. Understanding the determinants of the quality of boilerplate is an important step toward understanding whether and how the state ought to intervene in its production. Recent academic literature on this topic has focused on production of boilerplate by either for-profit actors-whether for their own use or for use by their clients--or the state. The dominant theme is that for-profit actors typically have sub-optimal incentives to invest in production of contractual terms because they often cannot capture all of the benefits that flow from those investments. As for the state, the main concern is that it lacks the competence to formulate contracts that are suited to the diverse needs of private commercial actors

What Can the Rule of Law Variable Tell Us About Rule of Law Reforms?

In 2001 per capita income in Haiti was $480, the infant mortality rate was seventy-nine per 1000 live births and the illiteracy rate (age fifteen and over) hovered around fifty percent. By comparison, in the United States, less than two hours flying time away, the per capita income was$34,280, the infant mortality rate was seven per 1000 live births, and the illiteracy rate was negligible. Understanding the reasons why these sorts of disparities in important measures of development arise and persist is one of the greatest challenges in all of the social sciences
