Abstract

In 1993, Layton Canada finds itself caught in an intractable political situation. As part of a global reorganization process, the firm has been transformed from a subsidiary of a Dutch parent corporation to a subsidiary of a U.S. parent. Now, if it continues with its usual practice of exporting electrical components to Cuba, it will violate U.S. export law. If it ceases, however, it will violate Canadian law. A rewritten version of an earlier case.
