Does A Corporation Realize Gain Or Loss On A Liquidating Distribution In Kind?, Charles S. Cork
Does A Corporation Realize Gain Or Loss On A Liquidating Distribution In Kind?, Charles S. Cork
Mercer Law Review
In view of the thousands of corporations which have been liquidated over the last three decades, it is surprising that there should have been so little judicial consideration and analysis of whether a corporation realizes gain or loss recognizable for Federal income tax purposes on the distribution of its property in partial or complete liquidation.
Interracial Marriage: A Survey Of Statutes And Their Interpretations, Edward T. Wright
Interracial Marriage: A Survey Of Statutes And Their Interpretations, Edward T. Wright
Mercer Law Review
Laws prohibiting interracial marriages and interpretations of such laws have caused much confusion for lawyers, law students, and sociologists. Most discussion concerning this subject is based purely upon hearsay without reference to statutes or cases. A survey of the statutes prohibiting interracial marriages and decisions interpreting those statutes and a study of the effect of violating such statutes should aid in clarification. Only by understanding the present policy of the states and the reasons for such policy is it possible to make any intelligent speculation as to the future of this phase of the law.
Promoters' Ability To Share Profits Of Successful Corporate Ventures, Alvin Gilmore
Promoters' Ability To Share Profits Of Successful Corporate Ventures, Alvin Gilmore
Mercer Law Review
Promoters' frequently experience difficulty in obtaining a proper reward for their initiative in organizing a corporation. This difficulty arises from two well-established principles of corporation law. The first of these rules is that a promoter stands in a fiduciary relation to the corporation, charged with a duty to exercise the utmost good faith, as in cases of other trusts, so that he cannot lawfully make secret profits' in transactions relating to the promotion or organization of the corporation, and must account to the corporation for such profits if made.3 The second rule is that the promoter cannot lawfully receive compensation …
Accrual Problems In Tax Accounting, Alfred E. Holland
Accrual Problems In Tax Accounting, Alfred E. Holland
Michigan Law Review
Quite frequently at the end of a taxable year some uncertainty qualifies the eventual payment or receipt of an obligation. An obligor may refuse to pay the debt for any number of reasons. There may be disagreement as to the amount which is due; the obligation may not appear collectible; or there may be some other contingency which makes eventual receipt or payment appear uncertain at the time. This uncertainty presents a problem to the taxpayer when he closes his books at the end of the year. Should such an uncertain item be entered on the books as income for …
Contributory Infringement And The Combination Patent, Samuel Ewer Eastman
Contributory Infringement And The Combination Patent, Samuel Ewer Eastman
Michigan Law Review
The right of action for contributory infringement of a patent was forged by judicial legislation, and, as limited and subjected to opposing rules of law, has been tempered by that same process. The history is exemplary of the control over society exercisable by the courts according to their own individual economic outlook.
In tracing this history, buying agreements, price-fixing, agreements not to deal in the goods of a competitor, conspiracies to restrain trade through licensing, and other business arrangements subject to scrutiny under the anti-trust laws will be dealt with only incidentally. It is not possible to deal only with …
The Law School 1949-50, E. Blythe Stason
The Law School 1949-50, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
Notwithstanding the fact that the peak of postwar veterans' enrollment is supposed to have subsided, the 1949-50 enrollment in the Law School remains substantially the same as it has been during the past several years. Last year we recorded a total of 1057 students; this year the figure is 1030. The beginning class of 409 students, together with 273 second-year and 328 third-year students, to which must be added 20 graduate students, all add up to the total, 1030. Thirty-three of the total are women, the largest women's enrollment ever recorded in the School. The group of 20 graduate students …
Corporations-Applicability Of General Corporate Dissolution Procedure To Associations Organized Under Building And Loan Act, Howard W. Haftel S.Ed.
Corporations-Applicability Of General Corporate Dissolution Procedure To Associations Organized Under Building And Loan Act, Howard W. Haftel S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Building and loan associations are organizations designed for the general purpose of accumulating by gradual payments of their members a fund to be invested primarily in loans on real estate. At present these organizations almost invariably are corporations for profit. Because of their economic importance these associations have long been regarded as affected with a public interest and therefore subject to a higher degree of regulation than would be sustained in the case of ordinary profit-making corporations. Special legislation is necessary because building and loan associations differ widely from other corporations in financial structure and operation.
Corporations-General Effect Of Statutes Prohibiting Corporate Loans To Directors, Officers And Stockholders, Paul W. Eaton, Jr.
Corporations-General Effect Of Statutes Prohibiting Corporate Loans To Directors, Officers And Stockholders, Paul W. Eaton, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Over the years a number of states have felt that loans by private corporations to their directors and stockholders should be regulated to protect the interests of creditors and, in many cases, stockholders. At present, twenty-two states have statutes which either absolutely prevent such loans or else limit their scope, and this number will probably increase. A typical statute may be found in New Jersey: "No corporation shall loan money to a stockholder or officer thereof. If any such loan be made the officers who make it, or assent thereto, shall be jointly and severally liable, to the extent of …
Libel And Slander-Testamentary Libel, Charles Hansen S.Ed.
Libel And Slander-Testamentary Libel, Charles Hansen S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Although the right to recover for injury from admittedly defamatory matter would seem to be clear, the law imposes a series of obstacles when the offending statements are embodied in a will. Of the few cases which have arisen in this area, a recent decision, Carver v. Morrow, serves to illustrate the general problem. In this case, plaintiff claimed that portions of testatrix' will defamed him. After the will was probated, he brought an action against testatrix' executors on the ground that publication had been effected by probate, and that therefore a cause of action in libel existed against …
Constitutional Law-Equal Protection-Foreign Corporations-Discriminatory Intangibles Tax, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Constitutional Law-Equal Protection-Foreign Corporations-Discriminatory Intangibles Tax, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
An Ohio statute required foreign corporations doing business within the state to pay an ad valorem tax on accounts receivable which arose through outstate sales of goods shipped from warehouses within the state, even though the sales were consummated by an agent maintaining his office without the state. Such intangibles were declared by the Ohio statutory formula to have a situs within the state. At the same time, the accounts receivable of Ohio residents and domestic corporations which were derived from outstate sales by agents having their offices without the state were exempt, even though the goods were shipped from …

Courts-Martial--Jurisdiction Over Person Discharged And Re-Enlisted For Offense Committed During Prior Enlistment, J. D. Mcleod S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, a chief petty officer in the Navy was honorably discharged on March 26, 1946, and re-enlisted on the following day. In 1947, he was tried by court-martial and convicted of cruelty, during his prior period-of service, to persons subject to his orders. The District Court sustained his writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the court-martial had no jurisdiction; the Circuit Court of Appeals reversed. On certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States, held, the court-martial had no jurisdiction to try petitioner for an offense committed prior to his discharge and re-enlistment. United. States ex …

Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, known professionally as Jane Froman, sought damages of one million dollars for injuries received when defendant's transatlantic plane crashed at Lisbon, Portugal. Before the flight, defendant prepared tickets for plaintiff and other passengers scheduled to entertain troops overseas and delivered them to a USO Camp Shows' employee in charge of arranging transportation for the group. Plaintiff had not expressly authorized the USO employee to receive the ticket in her behalf. She was unaware of the plane's exact destination. Held, a ticket invoking the liability limitations of the Warsaw Convention was delivered as a matter of law. Ross v. …

Taxation--Income Tax--Family Partnerships--Application Of The Tower-Lusthaus Doctrine, Earl R. Boonstra S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Respondent and his four sons formed a partnership in 1939. The sons contributed cattle and property purchased from respondent who accepted their notes in return. Subsequently, part of the notes were forgiven and part paid from shares of the firm proceeds. A firm bank account was opened on which all members could draw. It was planned that all the sons would render substantial services to the partnership. However, the plan was disrupted when the two eldest were called to military duty, and the two minor sons continued their education. A partnership return was filed for 1940. The Commissioner determined a …

Torts-Assumption Of Risk-Flying Pucks And The Ice Hockey Spectator, James F. Gordy S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff and her husband attended an ice hockey game being sponsored by the defendant. Both testified that they knew nothing about the game. They asked for the ''best seats in the house" and were seated in the front row of an unprotected section, immediately adjacent to the ice and behind a low wooden wall. During the progress of the game, plaintiff was struck and injured by a puck driven from the ice. Defendant had furnished screened areas, which were unfilled at the time; he had prominently displayed many large placards warning of the danger of flying pucks and advising of …
Torts-Family Relationship-Child's Right To Recover For Enticement Of Parent From Home, William H. Lowery
Torts-Family Relationship-Child's Right To Recover For Enticement Of Parent From Home, William H. Lowery
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, a six year old girl, sued to recover damages alleged to have been sustained as a result of defendant's enticing her mother from the family home. Plaintiff contended that as a child and member of the family she had a legally protected right to maintenance of the family relationship. Defendant answered that no tort had been committed, since no right in the plaintiff was recognized at common law and that to recognize such a right would amount to judicial legislation. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff, defendant appealed. Held, affirmed. Allowing a child a right of action …
Trusts-Addition To Corpus By Will-Nature Of Bequest, Robert H. Frick
Trusts-Addition To Corpus By Will-Nature Of Bequest, Robert H. Frick
Michigan Law Review
Testator created an amendable inter vivos trust which he amended in 1938, 1940, and 1942. By a codicil to his will, executed in 1945, he left his residuary estate to the trustees of the inter vivos trust to be held according to the terms of that trust as amended. On certification from the probate court, held, the bequest to the trustees was valid, and it was not necessary for the trustees to give bond and account to the probate court as required of trustees of testamentary trusts by statute. In re York's Estate, (N. H. 1949) 65 A. …

Trusts-Power To Revoke Through Unrestricted Power To Amend, Alan P. Goldstein S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff and defendant were the settlors and trustees of a twenty year trust created in 1945. Their wives were the beneficiaries. The settlors retained the unrestricted power to amend the trust, but reserved no power to revoke. In October, 1945 the trust was amended, giving to either trustee the power to terminate the trust at any time, upon notice to the other trustee. In 1947, plaintiff gave notice of revocation to the defendant, and when this notice was ignored, plaintiff petitioned for a decree of termination. A demurrer was sustained, and plaintiff appealed. Held, reversed. ''If the power to …

Wills-An Exception To The Pennsylvania Mortmain Statute, Robert H. Frick
Michigan Law Review
Testatrix and her husband entered into an agreement that the survivor should devise property owned by them as tenants by the entireties to charities of the Catholic Church. Ten years later, testatrix, who had survived her husband, executed a will in accordance with the agreement, and died within thirty days thereafter. The lower court held that the bequest was not invalid under the Pennsylvania statute voiding religious or charitable bequests made within thirty days of death. On appeal, held, affirmed.
