May 31, 2007ALM Staff | Law Journal Newsletters |When the City of New York sells property subject to statutorily authorized conditions, what language in the deed is necessary to ensure that the conditions bind subsequent purchasers?

May 31, 2007Stewart E. SterkOntario was the first province in Canada to adopt a UCC Article 9 type registration system called the 'Personal Property Security Act' or PPSA. During the early 1990s, Ontario refreshed its legislation, and other Canadian provinces soon followed with their own acts that were modeled on but not the same as the Ontario PPSA.

May 31, 2007Tresa BaldasLast May's U.S. Supreme Court decision in Ark. Dep't of Human Servs. v. Ahlborn, 547 U.S. 268 (2006) ' which held that when a Medicaid benefits recipient settles with a tortfeasor, states seeking recoupment of funds for monies expended on their medical care may do so only from that part of a settlement that was designated as being for past medical expenses ' has so far led to very few reported decisions on the subject. However, two recent cases in New York have applied the teachings of the decision to find that some malpractice claimants who are also Medicaid benefits recipients and who settle with those who allegedly injured them must be allowed to keep for themselves more of the proceeds of their claims.
