<p class="MsoNormal">However, I have, with respect, three critiques of it.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, the ability to create a remedy if the MEM panel finds against the board is completely within the boardâs discretion. Even a slight (even inconsequential) âremedyâ would be a remedy and would, effectively, bar any viable avenue to
court enforcement. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, (and this applies to any panel ruling) any decision by the board to state that a ruling against it falls into the area of the boardâs fiduciary obligations (thus frustrating implementation of the ruling) should itself be appealable
to ensure that this is, in fact, an objectively justified conclusion. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, third, if we went down this path, the boardâs ability to create a remedy (subject, I would urge, to some test for reasonableness) should be time-limited so that a claimant need not wait and wonder if it can ever appeal to court. <u></u><u></u></p>
