Bankruptcy - Corporate Reorganization - Effect Of Release Of Collateral Obligor On Dissenting Creditors, Edward D. Ransom
Michigan Law Review
The federal district court confirmed a plan of reorganization of debtor corporation, under section 77B of the Bankruptcy Act, which expressly released defendant from liability as guarantor of bonds of the corporation and provided for cancellation of the bonds and substitution of new certificates of stock. The plaintiff, a bondholder, made no objection when the plan was submitted to the court; objection by other bondholders was overruled. The plaintiff brought suit in municipal court on the defendant's guaranty. Defendant pleaded the confirmation of the plan by the district court as res adjudicata. The trial court denied the plea and entered …
Conflict Of Laws - Renvoi Theory - Conflicts Restatement, Royal E. Thompson
Conflict Of Laws - Renvoi Theory - Conflicts Restatement, Royal E. Thompson
Michigan Law Review
The case of University of Chicago v. Dater, recently decided by the Michigan Supreme Court, contains interesting and unusual problems in the field of conflict of laws. The University of Chicago had agreed to loan money to a Michigan resident, to be secured by Chicago realty. The note and trust mortgage were sent by plaintiff to a Michigan bank, as agent, which procured the signatures of defendant and her husband, and sent the papers back to plaintiff's agent in Chicago. Some question as to title to the land arose, followed by further negotiations, and nearly a month after the …
Taxation - Jurisdiction Of A State To Tax Personal Incomes, Jack L. White
Taxation - Jurisdiction Of A State To Tax Personal Incomes, Jack L. White
Michigan Law Review
There have been comparatively few decisions of the United States Supreme Court involving questions of the jurisdiction of a state to impose income taxes, so that each case that has been reported has called for an adjustment of the earlier statements of the law in that field. Such a case was recently decided. It is the purpose of this comment to consider the earlier cases in the light of that decision, and to determine what proportion of the income of a resident, and of a non-resident, a state may tax.
International Law -- Anti-Smuggling Bill -- Jurisdiction On The High Seas, James H. Roberton
International Law -- Anti-Smuggling Bill -- Jurisdiction On The High Seas, James H. Roberton
Michigan Law Review
The control which a littoral state may exercise over the adjacent sea has never been the subject of complete agreement among the nations of the world. Inability to agree and resulting confusion have arisen in many instances from a failure to distinguish between a claim of control over a definite strip of adjacent water, often spoken of as "territorial waters," analogous to the control exercised on land and a claim that, for the well-being of the littoral state, control for limited and specific purposes may be extended beyond these territorial waters. The most obvious example of this latter type of …
Corporations - Foreign Corporations - Service Of Process Based Upon Solicitation, Donald H. Larmee
Corporations - Foreign Corporations - Service Of Process Based Upon Solicitation, Donald H. Larmee
Michigan Law Review
The question of just when a foreign corporation is amenable to process for an in personam action has long troubled the courts. To one who is seeking a clear and applicable formula, the cases in this field offer but little aid because of the confusion created by the multitude of decisions upon the problem. The decisions of the United States Supreme Court itself are of no great assistance in deriving such a formula. Many attempts have been made by legal writers to define a working rule for this problem as a whole. However, the present writer will endeavor only to …
Administrative Law - Johnson Act - Jurisdiction Of Federal Courts Where State Review Procedure Prohibits Issue Of Supersedeas, William J. Isaacson
Administrative Law - Johnson Act - Jurisdiction Of Federal Courts Where State Review Procedure Prohibits Issue Of Supersedeas, William J. Isaacson
Michigan Law Review
Complainant power company attacked as confiscatory the decrease in rates ordered by the Public Service Commission of Montana. The company demanded an interloctory injunction pending a final decree. It appeared that there was on the statute book of Montana a statute prohibiting supersedeas pending judicial review in such cases. The district court granted the commission's motion to dismiss on the ground that a plain, speedy, and efficient remedy was available to the plaintiff in the state courts, and hence the requirements of the Johnson Act of May 14, 1934, were met. Therefore, so it was contended, federal jurisdiction was precluded. …
Federal Courts - Removal Of Causes - Action By State Tax Collector Against National Bank To Recover Taxes - Federal Question, Malcolm L. Denise
Federal Courts - Removal Of Causes - Action By State Tax Collector Against National Bank To Recover Taxes - Federal Question, Malcolm L. Denise
Michigan Law Review
The state of Mississippi passed a statute imposing a tax upon national banks, under authority of a federal statute permitting such legislation. The state assessed the tax upon defendant's predecessor, and defendant, in taking over its predecessor's assets, undertook to pay all of its obligations, including taxes due. The state tax collector started suit on the contract in the state court, but upon defendant's application the cause was removed to the federal district court. On appeal it was held the case did not arise under the laws of the United States within the meaning of the removal statute because it …
Commission Jurisdiction Over Utility Cooperatives, Israel Packel
Commission Jurisdiction Over Utility Cooperatives, Israel Packel
Michigan Law Review
A group of farmers desire electricity. They propose to form a cooperative, to borrow money and to construct electric distribution lines. They probably will incorporate the cooperative as a stock or non-stock corporation in order to obtain the benefit of limited liability. The cooperative might be formed under a statute specifically enacted to authorize the formation of cooperatives or under a general incorporation statute. Normally, the charter of the cooperative will provide for equality in control by the members or shareholders and for a limited return or no return on capital investment. The cooperative will probably apply to the Federal …
