Agency -- 1960 Tennessee Survey, Warren A. Seavey
Vanderbilt Law Review
In Richardson v. Snipes' both parties to an exchange of land employed the plaintiff, the contract providing that the defendant would pay no commission unless the transfer was completed. The other party satisfied the conditions imposed by the defendant, who, however, refused to go through with the exchange. The court properly reversed judgment for the defendant; but the result should not have turned upon the finding of bad faith of the defendant, as the court held. The plaintiff had performed his undertaking which was to provide one who would exchange titles and who would have gone through with the transaction …

Vanderbilt Law Review
A foreigner given to rash generalizations would quickly conclude upon reading this year's sales and personal property cases that the three most flourishing and litigation-producing institutions in Tennessee are the automobile, the General Motors Acceptance Corporation and bootlegging. The automobile is responsible for all five of the cases covered in this survey; in four of the five the General Motors Acceptance Corporation is the defendant; and two of the five grow out of bootlegging activities.

But in spite of the desirability of relaxing the rigorous enforcement of such statutes, the court continues …

State And Local Taxation -- 1960 Tennessee Survey, Paul J. Hartman
Vanderbilt Law Review
A congressional statute that became law on September 14, 1959,severely curtails the power of all state and local governments to impose net income taxes. This statute was the aftermath of the Northwestern-Stockham decision, and a series of cases soon to follow, by the United States Supreme Court, which held that neither the due process nor the commerce clause bars the way to a nondiscriminatory, properly apportioned state tax levied directly on net income derived exclusively from interstate commerce. These decisions by the Supreme Court caused such a furor in the business world that demands were soon made on Congress for …

The Real Estate Broker's Undertaking, William E. Wallace
Vanderbilt Law Review
In earlier articles I have discussed problems dealing with the enunciation and expression of listing agreements, their formal import' and the effect of one important segment of many of the attendant" payment" clauses. The former article concerned itself with the general problem of the relationship existing between a real property owner and his broker, while the latter dealt with the significance of words by which the payment clause of a brokerage agreement was introduced and with the effect of a wrongful default by the landowner. The present article will consider the legal significance of the actual terms employed to designate …
