Kathryn W. Hexter

In August 2006, Cleveland State University was asked to conduct an initial assessment of the Cuyahoga County Commissioners' Report and Recommendations on Foreclosure that would assist the county in planning for future phases of the project. This report presents the findings of this initial assessment of the first 18 months of the initiative. It documents the process undertaken by the county, assesses the progress made toward reaching goals, identifies successes and concerns, and offers some preliminary recommendations about program operations. It also offers suggestions for a more formal evaluation process going forward

Al Bai Bithaman Ajil- The Grant Of Ibra In Customer Default Situations, Jonathan Chen Yeen Muk

Jonathan Muk

The Al Bai Bithaman Ajil (“BBA”) facility is an Islamic financing facility based on underlying purchase and sales agreements. When bank customers default on their instalment obligations under the facility, the grant of ibra (rebate) in Al Bai Bithaman Ajil (“BBA”) facilities is a contentious issue. This article provides an analysis of the Malaysian judgments with respect to ibra and BBA facilities. It seeks to identify the best way for courts to approach ibra in the absence of legislation or executive direction. It is suggested that while implied terms, unconscionability and even recharacterisation of the BBA facilities have been used …

Liquidation Of The Family Partnership: The Taming Of The Shrewd, Samuel Donaldson

Samuel A. Donaldson

Family partnerships and family limited liability companies are typically formed for reasons of efficiency, succession, and valuation. But all good things come to an end. Owners of a family partnership opt for liquidation in a variety of situations, usually following the death of the founding owner(s). Although most practitioners recall that the liquidation of a partnership is not a taxable event, few remember that as many as three Code provisions can come into play upon the liquidation of a family partnership. This article reviews those potential income tax traps and uses two examples to illustrate their coordination and application in …

Seven Ways To Strengthen And Improve The L3c, Cassady Brewer

Cassady V. Brewer

The raison d’être for the low-profit limited liability company (“L3C”) is to encourage program-related investments (“PRIs”) by private foundations. PRIs are special types of investments that can be both charitable and profitable. PRIs have been embraced by knowledgeable scholars, practitioners, foundation managers, and even the U.S. Treasury Department. Further, the L3C and PRIs are associated with the growing “social enterprise” movement. The L3C thus would seem to be in the right place at the right time and should have the full support of the charitable sector, practitioners, and lawmakers.

Yet, after a fast start, adoption of L3C legislation across the …
