	Settlement Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	No. COA03-1164--Lee v. Wake County (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Commission further concluded that, because the representative who attended the settlement conference lacked the authority to legally bind defendant to an enforceable contract with plaintiff, the agreement itself was “ultra vires” and was “void and of no legal effect” and therefore unenforceable.
		To reach this conclusion, the Commission necessarily had to rely upon the only evidence in the record to support such a conclusion, the Wake County Budget Ordinance enacted after the memorandum of agreement was executed on 1 May 2001.
		Accordingly, the Commission erred when it held it could “reasonably be inferred” that the settlement conference was attended by a representative of defendant Wake County who lacked authority to negotiate the agreement reached by the parties.

	Concept Release: Securities Transactions Settlement; Release No. 33-8398; 34-49405; IC-26384; File No. S7-13-04
		First, the Commission is seeking comment on whether the Commission should adopt a new rule or the self-regulatory organizations should be required to amend their existing rules to require the completion of the confirmation and affirmation process on trade date ("T+0") when a broker-dealer provides delivery-versus-payment or receive-versus-payment privileges to a customer.
		The rejection of a security after settlement date exposes the customer to the costs and risks that she may have to purchase replacement securities and exposes the broker-dealer to the costs and risks associated with collecting should the customer be unable to obtain replacement securities.
		The Commission's order approving the confirmation rules concluded that the confirmation rules were consistent with the establishment of a national system of clearance and settlement, mandated in Section 17A of the Exchange Act, because the trade confirmation service provided by registered clearing agencies provided uniform procedures for the confirmation and affirmation of institutional trades.

		The commission also recommends that oil and gas revenues from operations on land belonging to the Lubicon Indians be held in trust until a settlement is reached.
		The Commission replies that the band is entitled to royalties on resources extracted from their lands since 1939 when Ottawa agreed that the Lubicon were a separate band and that they should get their own reserve.

	March 1993 : Lubicon Settlement Commission of Review Final Report
		The alternative to a just settlement is to see the Lubicon continue the downward spiral of despair and self-destruction already begun by a few years on welfare subsistence.
		They seem to be looking at whether or not the Lubicon settlement is "fair" with respect to their own policy and with the circumstances of others presumed to be in similar circumstances.
		It's certain that the value of the settlement which the Lubicons are asking for is only a tiny fraction of the value of the resources which have been extracted and continue to be extracted from these disputed lands -- perhaps 2 per cent of the value to date.

		The Commission made careful reports as to the manner of licensing houses for smoking, the system of licensing opium farms, etc., and other technical details connected with this extensive Government traffic.
		Finally, the question of revenue was considered, and while the harmfulness of opium smoking was a matter of divided opinion, when it came to revenue there was no division of opinion at all.
		It was proven that about fifty per cent of the revenues of the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States came from the opium trade, and, as was naively pointed out, to hazard the prosperity of the Colony by lopping off half its revenues, was an unthinkable proceeding.
