Bitproperty And Commercial Credit, Christopher K. Odinet Dec 2016

Bitproperty And Commercial Credit, Christopher K. Odinet

Christopher K. Odinet

In the past several years the growth of virtual property in today’s economy has been explosive.

Further, a growing number of savvy virtual entrepreneurs are reporting incomes in the six and seven figure range, derived solely from their online businesses.

Commercial Transactions And Personal Property -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, John A. Spanoale

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Code, and its repealer provisions, will not become effective in Tennessee until June 30, 1964. This delay gives the practicing attorney fifteen months to become familiar with its provisions.

It is not the purpose of this article to attempt to summarize the effect of the provisions of this legislation on the present Tennessee law, but only to give notice that it has been enacted …
