More U.S. Courts Permit Discovery in Aid of Foreign Arbitrations, But Texas Dissents: U.S.C. § 1782 | K&L Gates, Newsstand, Arbitration World, May 2009
by Abram I. Moore - short notes on Hallmark Capital, Babcock Borsig and the two decisions in Comision Ejecutiva (Delaware and Texas)

Recent Developments in Swiss Law in the Field of the Protection of Depositors | Schellenberg Wittmer Newsletter April 2009

The Federal Council chose to act in two stages. It decided that certain amendments had to be passed quickly and it simultaneously instructed the Federal Department of Finance to elaborate a project with deeper amendments to the system of deposit guarantee. The content of this project is not yet public."
