Conflict Of Laws Relating To Installment Sales, Robert E. Lee Dec 1942

Conflict Of Laws Relating To Installment Sales, Robert E. Lee

Michigan Law Review

The most perplexing problem in the field of installment contracts probably occurs when property sold by a title-retaining instrument (conditional sale, chattel mortgage, or bailment lease) in one state is removed to another state where rights of creditors of, or purchasers from, the buyer attach. Inasmuch as the possession of the article has been permitted to be in the buyer, so that outwardly, and with nothing more, he is the apparent owner, the important question arises as to whose rights are higher, the secret owner (the conditional seller, the chattel mortgagee, or the bailor) or the creditor of, or purchaser …

Powers - Rights Of Donees' Creditors Against Property Subject Thereto When The Power Is General And Is Exercised By Will, Charles Wright, Ill Oct 1942

Powers - Rights Of Donees' Creditors Against Property Subject Thereto When The Power Is General And Is Exercised By Will, Charles Wright, Ill

Michigan Law Review

In general it is said that the majority of jurisdictions in the United States allow creditors of the donee of a general power of appointment, exercisable by deed or will, or by will only, to reach the appointive property when the power is exercised by will, if the donee's personal estate is insolvent and if the appointment is to a volunteer. It would appear from a survey of the authorities dealing with the question that only twenty states have spoken on the subject at all. Of that number only sixteen have decisions which can, by any stretch of the imagination, …


Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Regulation Of Renovated Butter Manufacture, Michigan Law Review May 1942

Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Regulation Of Renovated Butter Manufacture, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, who was engaged in the manufacture of renovated butter from packing stock butter, brought an action to enjoin Alabama officials from enforcing state laws relating to the inspection and seizure of the raw material.

The federal act conferred upon the Secretary of Agriculture, among other things the duty of ascertaining "whether or not materials used in the manufacture of said process or renovated butter are deleterious to health or unwholesome in the finished product, and in case such …

Constitutional Law - State Proration Acts - Regulation Of Production When Sales Are Largely Interstate, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, a raisin packer in the state of California, was prevented from purchasing in open market to fill his out-of-state orders because of the California Agricultural Proration Act. By its provisions the producers of raisin grapes are required to turn over seventy per cent of their produce to state "pools." The remaining thirty per cent may be sold without restriction, providing the producer holds certificates issued by a commission. Packers are permitted to purchase only from such certificate holders. These packers operate within California, buying from producers and selling to jobbers, wholesalers, brokers, etc., for resale to the public. …

Municipal Corporations - Zoning Ordinances - Aesthetic Considerations Under The Police Power, Charles J. O' Laughlin

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff brought suit to enjoin the enforcement of the zoning laws of the city of Miami Beach.

Plaintiff sought to erect structures of a business character on his property, despite the zoning law. Held, the zoning law is sustained, for plaintiff's property rights must yield to the interest of the community in maintaining the attractiveness of this resort area. City of Miami Beach v. Ocean & Inland Co., (Fla. 1941) 3 So. (2d) …

Labor Law - Unemployment Compensation - Effect Of Voluntary Quitting, Louis C. Andrews Jan 1942

Labor Law - Unemployment Compensation - Effect Of Voluntary Quitting, Louis C. Andrews

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff voluntarily quit working for defendant November 7, 1939, to take another job which he reasonably expected to be permanent, but which ended in seven weeks because of a slack in business. He applied for benefits accrued under the Iowa Unemployment Compensation Act during his employment with defendant, to which he was entitled unless disqualified by reason of his voluntary quitting. Defendant employer opposed the claim to prevent charging of benefit payments against his fund. The experience rating features of the Iowa act provide that the smaller the depletion in an employer's fund, the lower his future compensation tax. Held …
