Although Time magazine focused on the Internet's user-run juggernauts like Wikipedia, YouTube and MySpace, the expansion of the consumer's role is no less important in the insurance industry. Today, consumers of insurance can take charge of fulfilling their insurance needs in ways that were not available a decade ago. Although insurance companies have not forsaken the we'll-take-care-of-you-in-tough-times angle in their advertising strategy, it is clear that insurance companies have not ignored consumers' desire to take an active role in determining and influencing how they obtain insurance coverage. The most widely applied doctrine for resolving ambiguities in insurance contracts is the doctrine of contra proferentem, which generally means that ambiguities in contracts should be constr...

This paper studies the concept of "establishment," the minimum threshold for a U.S. bankruptcy court to recognize a foreign bankruptcy proceeding. This concept is shared by EU Regulations, the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross Border Insolvency, and Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy code. I compare these three manifestations of establishment in order to come to a more accurate understanding of the concept than the current rule of thumb: "place of business." Specifically, I dissect the shared definition of establishment into separate elements that must be met in order to satisfy the test. I then analyze each element in the context of hypothetical examples. Finally, I argue that mere registration of a company in a jurisdiction will not suffice to meet the definition of establishment.
