Abstract: It is easy to find real algebraic varieties with weakly Whitney regular stratifications which are not Whitney regular, and we give such an example in section 3 below. No examples are known among complex analytic varieties however, so that the natural question arises : do Whitney regularity and weak Whitney regularity coincide in the complex case ? As a test, in this paper we study the well-known Brianc{c}on-Speder examples. We investigate systematically all of the (infinitely many) Brianc{c}on-Speder examples, and establish in particular that none of these examples are weakly Whitney regular. We determine all the complex curves along which Whitney regularity fails and all the complex curves along which weak Whitney regularity fails. It turns out that for each example there are a finite number of curves $gamm{a}_i$ such that weak Whitney regularity fails precisely along those curves tangent to one of the $gamm{a}_i$ at the origin.
