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. The everyday use of virtual assets ranging from Twitter and Facebook to YouTube and virtual world accounts is nearly absolute. Indeed, by one account Americans check social media over 17 times per day. Further, a growing number of savvy virtual entrepreneurs are reporting incomes in the six and seven figure range, derived solely from their online businesses. Nevertheless, although the commercial world has come to embrace these newfound markets, commercial law has done a poor job of keeping up. Scholars have argued that laws …


Dancing On The Edge Of Article 9, James J. White Jan 1986

Dancing On The Edge Of Article 9, James J. White

Articles

Despite the fact that Article 9 is a much more comprehensive personal property security statute than was ever found in American law prior to its enactment, cases continue to present issues on the scope of the Article. Gone are the cases in which a court was called upon to determine whether a "conditional sales contract" could be dealt with under the "factor's lien" law; it is now clear that all such personal property security devices are governed by Article 9. Yet many problems remain for the unwary lawyer. I will identify several and deal in detail with three of these …

The Corporate Mortgage Under Article 9 Of The Uniform Commercial Code And The New York Solution, George C. Coggins Apr 1965

The Corporate Mortgage Under Article 9 Of The Uniform Commercial Code And The New York Solution, George C. Coggins

Michigan Law Review

A corporate mortgage has been defined as "an indenture intended to convey property, real and personal, tangible and intangible, to a trustee for bondholders, as security for the bonds issued and to be issued thereunder" by a corporation. This financing device, utilized by many large corporate organizations, has grown to be of paramount importance in the field of corporate financing, and the lack of attention given by the Code to the long-term debts of corporations has raised serious questions of filing procedures. Discussion of the novel treatment accorded by New York to the problem of perfecting security interests in corporate …


Commercial Transactions And Personal Property--1963 Tennessee Survey, John A. Spanogle, Jr. Jun 1964

Commercial Transactions And Personal Property--1963 Tennessee Survey, John A. Spanogle, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Obviously, the biggest event in the Tennessee law of commercial transactions this year was the enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code [hereinafter referred to as the U.C.C.]. That statute became effective in this state on July 1, 1964. Its effect on the prior Tennessee law is discussed in great detail elsewhere in this issue,' and need not be re-examined here. It should also be pointed out that the enactment of the U.C.C.required some modifications in the criminal statutes relating to security agreements. In particular, executing a second security agreement covering personalty, without disclosing a prior security agreement covering the same …

After a brief discussion of the provisions of Article 9 peculiarly applicable to the long-term mortgage, a portion of this comment will review the relevant statutes and case authority in force prior to the effective date of the Code in various states and still applicable in others. More specifically, it will examine the special treatment accorded certain types of corporate indentures, particularly those securing the debt of railroads and other public utilities. Second, an attempt will be made to explain the probable solutions to the problems raised by the filing requirements of Article 9 as promulgated in each jurisdiction and …

Commercial Transactions And Personal Property -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, John A. Spanoale Jun 1963

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. This amount of time will be needed for such education, for the Code is a very large and detailed piece of legislation, and little has been written comparing the present Tennessee law to the Code. 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 …
