Jurisdictional discovery under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act

Article Abstract:

The author explores problems of jurisdiction and discovery in cases under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Plaintiffs may have trouble establishing subject matter jurisdiction without discovery, but discovery may be invasive in cases where such jurisdiction ultimately is not established. The author concludes that discovery should only be allowed with preliminary showings of likely jurisdiction.

The impact of the Hilmer reforms on the health care sector

Article Abstract:

Australia adopted health care reforms in 1995 by implementing their National Competition Policy. The policy was designed to permit managed competition among health care providers and thus allow for efficiency and pricing improvements. The policy includes some price fixing, which could create problems. The Medicare system within the health care industry is an example of continuing anti-competition.
