The Wage Earners' Plan: Its Purpose, Walter Chandler

Vanderbilt Law Review

Chapter XIII is the forerunner of the general revision of the National Bankruptcy Act in 1938. Introduced as a bill for the relief of harassed wage earners who desire to pay their debts if given sufficient opportunity, the bill attracted the attention of the Honorable Hatton W. Sumners, Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives. In view of the cumulative need for a definitive study of the law of bankruptcy with the end view of enacting a complete revision of the Act of 1898, a special subcommittee on bankruptcy was created; this subcommittee, with the …

The Uniform Commercial Code Sales Article Compared With West Virginia Law Part I, Willard D. Lorensen

West Virginia Law Review

The adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code in West Virginia would provide for the first time in the history of this state a general legislative venture into the field of sales law. Court-made common law is the present source of sales law, and typical of the common law, a very uneven pattern is found. Precedents pile up at certain points while numerous other questions float in an absolute void of authority. The major portion of this study, composed of a section by section analysis of the sales article, contrasts time and again the thoroughness and detail of the Code against …

Uniform Commercial Code - Motor Vehicles - Filing Requred To Perfect Security Interests, David Finkelman S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In 1958 Kentucky enacted the Uniform Commercial Code providing for the perfection of security interests in chattels by filing a financing statement, and a motor vehicle Certificate of Title Act requiring liens to be noted on the registration certificate covering the vehicle. The Code excludes from its filing provisions security interests in property subject to a Certificate of Title Act and provides that such interests can be perfected only by compliance with the requirements of the title act. However, unlike the typical Certificate of Title Act, the Kentucky title act does not provide that the notation of the lien on …

Debtors' Exemption Statutes—Revision Ideas, Marjorie Dick Rombauer

Washington Law Review

This article delineates the purposes which exemption laws should serve and surveys ways in which a comprehensive revision of the Washington statutes can more equitably (both as to debtors and creditors) effectuate these purposes. The discussion is far from exhaustive of the many provisions which might be considered in a revision of the debtor exemption area. It is intended only as a starting point for the thinking of attorneys.

A Decade Of The Celler-Kefauver Anti-Merger Act, Charles J. Steele

Vanderbilt Law Review

Corporations intent upon expanding via the acquisition route have had three statutory hurdles placed in their way by the Congress of the United States. As hurdles, the first two, the Sherman Act of 1890 and the Clayton Act of 1914, were failures. A judiciary which refused to give effect either to the language or intent of the acts nullified completely their usefulness as anti-merger weapons.

The third hurdle, the Celler-Kefauver Amendment to the Clayton Act, was enacted in 1950. Relatively few judicial opinions have interpreted this act, "new section 7," as it is called. It is clear, however, that it …

Bills And Notes -- 1961 Tennessee Survey, John A. Spanogle Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Tennessee courts decided three cases involving commercial paper this year. The Tennessee Supreme Court decided one case which, unless it is clarified in the near future, may upset principles which were heretofore well-established. Of the two cases decided by the appellate courts, one adopted a rule well-known in other jurisdictions, and the other adopted a sound minority view on a question not settled by the Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law.

Bills And Notes-Payees By Impersonation And By Assumption Of A Name-Drawer's Intent And Commercial Policy, Stuart S. Gunckel S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Consider the following scheme for fraudulently obtaining money: A, a stranger to D, personally appears before D, represents himself as B and requests a loan. There is an existing person named B. For D's security a mortgage is produced in the name of B, but it has actually been penned by A. A check of the land records by D verifies that the land described in the mortgage is in fact owned by B. D, having satisfied himself as to the existence of B, draws a check payable to the …

Federal Jurisdiction In Personam Of Corporations And Due Process, Thomas F. Green Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

A great deal has been written about the personal jurisdiction of state courts and particularly about the applicable due process requirements.' Much less has been contributed by commentators on the subject of due process requirements applying to in personam jurisdiction of a United States district court. Perhaps the reason is the difficulty of finding a rationale in the pertinent decisions. These fail to distinguish between the conditions necessary for valid service of federal court process as contrasted with those essential to the proper service of state process. They also fail to explain why the constitutional provision brings about the result …

Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Local Smoke Control Ordinance Not An Undue Burden On Interstate Commerce, John M. Niehuss

Michigan Law Review

In accordance with a scheme of federal ship inspection, appellant possessed certificates which permitted its ships to operate on the Great Lakes and which specified the type of boiler which might be used. While two of its ships were docked in Detroit, smoke was emitted from their boilers in violation of the minimum density and duration requirements of the Detroit Smoke Abatement Code. The equipment which appellant was then using made compliance with the ordinance impossible. When criminal proceedings were instituted against appellant, it brought an action to enjoin the City of Detroit from enforcing the ordinance on the theory …

Document Of Title: A Comparison Of The Uniform Commercial Code And Other Uniform Acts, With Emphasis On Michigan Law, Douglass Boshkoff

Michigan Law Review

Although this article is mainly oriented toward the legal materials of one jurisdiction, the presence of a fairly common background of uniform acts makes it relevant to other jurisdictions, except where there are contrary interpretations of a particular statutory provision. Therefore, parallel citations to the various uniform acts have been provided with the hope that this article will be of assistance to other groups attempting to evaluate article seven of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Taxation - Income Tax -Gross Income From Mining As The Basis For Computing Percentage Depletion Allowances, John Niehuss

Michigan Law Review

Respondent, a miner of raw fire clay and a manufacturer of such clay into vitrified products, claimed a percentage depletion deduction based upon the gross income from the sale of its finished goods, contending that because its crude minerals could not be sold profitably in a local market, these final products were the first to meet the statutory standard of "commercially marketable mineral product." The district court and the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit accepted respondent's contention. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed, one Justice concurring. The fact that a taxpayer himself cannot …
