Some jurisdictions have gone further in attempting to control the activities of quasi-foreign corporations.

Famous quotes containing the word legal:
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
