ProPublica and The Texas Tribune have identified at least 30 cases filed by the attorney general over the past nine years that have a tenuous connection to the counties in which they were filed."

Ken Paxton Wanted to Crack Down on Forum Shopping. Now Lawyers Say He’s Improperly Seeking Out Favorable Courts.
The Texas attorney general has filed at least 30 cases over the past nine years that have a tenuous connection to the counties in which they were filed, a practice that legal experts say pushes the boundaries of the law.
Hendrik vom LehnDie kommende Diskussion um die Errichtung von #ECBA|s beieinflusst vermutlich zwei in #DE laufende Debatten: Die Reform des Gemeinnützigkeitsrechts und die Öffentlichkeit der Vereinsregister.
Das Gemeinnützigsrecht würde zwar nicht direkt berührt, aber die Gemeinnützigkeit von #ECBAs mit Sitz in anderen Mitgliedsstaaten müsste anerkannt werden. Das könnte eine Art #ForumShopping bei #NGOs die ohnehin #EU-weit tätig sind auslösen. Es gäbe also Konkurrenz bezüglich gemeinnütziger Zwecke.
