Implications of State Laws on Unclaimed Property
Pwc (pag 5 & 6) further explains that the case of the New Jersey Retail Merchants Association, et al. v. Sidamon-Eristoff where the U.S. Court of Appeals 2012 affirmed the orders of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey barring New Jersey from enforcing a "place of purchase" presumption for stored value cards and the retroactive escheatment of cards already issued. The Appeals Court also affirmed the District Court 's ruling that the "data collection provision," requiring stored value card issuers to collect and retain purchaser or owner information, was properly severable from the "place of purchase" presumption and, therefore the
District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying to enjoin the data collection provision. In addition, the Appeals Court affirmed the District Court 's ruling that New Jersey 's two-year abandonment period is not preempted by federal law.
Also the case of the American Express Travel Related Services, Inc. v. Sidamon-Eristoff where American Express Travel Related Services, Inc. (American Express) failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits in its challenge to the constitutionality of the amendments made to New Jersey 's unclaimed property statute affecting traveler 's checks.

    “No person …shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation” (Williams). Or so that is what the modern people of the U.S thought. Eminent domain was one of the first powers given to the government from the Fifth Amendment. Even though it was one of the first powers that was given to the government, it has become one of the most abused recently in numerous court cases. The vast majority of them end with the government winning with a rebuttal stating that no one can take property without due process of law or just compensation.…

    Enacted by Congress in 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) established a 25 cent minimum wage, a 44 hour long work week, which was later revised in 1940 to only 40 hours per week, and prohibited child labor (Fair Labor Standards, n.d.). However, in 1940, Fred Darby of Darby Lumber failed to comply to the regulations of the FLSA and was arrested when shipping lumber out of state because he was working his employees overtime and paying them under the minimum wage requirement. After a hearing in the District Court, it was found that Darby’s violation of the FLSA was unconstitutional because the Commerce Clause only applied to interstate commerce, not local as Darby described his shipment was (United States, n.d.). However, that decision…

    The Persuader Rule

    Part IV: The Future of the Persuader Rule The court’s decision does not necessarily eliminate the possibility that the Persuader Rule will be implemented in the future. Since the Persuader Rule is based on an administrative determination of the DOL, it is likely that the Trump administration changes in DOL priorities or personnel would moot the appeal at some point. Relying in part on the assumption that a Trump DOL would abandon the rule and the permanent nationwide injunction issued in Texas, a federal judge in Minnesota faced with a similar case recently stayed that litigation, despite his earlier decision not to grant injunctive relief. The split suggests that the issue could ultimately make its way to a federal court of appeals or…

    The court held that the district court erred when it relied on whether a manager's con- duct seriously affected plaintiff worker's psychological well being or led her to suffer injury. The court held that while Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.S. ß 2000e-2(a)(1) barred conduct that would seriously affect a reasonable person's psychological well being, the statute was not limited to such conduct. The court held that as long as the environment would reasonably be perceived and was perceived as hostile or abusive, there was no need for it also to be psychologi- cally injurious. The court found that psychological harm could be taken into account, but was not required by the statute. In Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc., the Court…
