Taxation- Federal Income Tax-Status Of Stock-For-Stock Exchange Where Boot Is Involved, Roger B. Harris S. Ed

Michigan Law Review

Taxpayer was the sole stockholder of International Dairy Supply Company. In 1952, Foremost Dairies, Inc. acquired from taxpayer all his stock in Supply Company in exchange for 82,375 shares of Foremast's common stock and 3,000,000 dollars cash.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioners had formed a corporation for the purpose of building and operating a housing project. After the construction was completed and most of the apartments rented, small cracks were discovered in the buildings. Without soliciting engineering or other technical opinion, petitioners sold their stock in the corporation.

On appeal, held, reversed. Since the view to the sale of stock did …

Corporations - Directors - Validity Of By-Law Permitting Removal Of Directors Without Cause, Timothy F. Scanlon

Michigan Law Review

A by-law of defendant, a Delaware corporation, permitted removal of a director with or without cause by a majority vote of the stockholders. The certificate of incorporation provided for a staggered board system which divided the board of directors into three groups, the term of one group expiring at each annual meeting. At a special stockholders' meeting three directors were removed without cause. Plaintiff, majority stockholder of the corporation, instituted an action to determine the validity of the removal. Held, the three directors were improperly removed since the by-law which allowed removal without cause was inconsistent with the certificate …
