Waiver Of Protest: A Comparative Study, Raúl Olivera Y Borges
Waiver Of Protest: A Comparative Study, Raúl Olivera Y Borges
Michigan Law Review
Parallel to the study of protest, it is pertinent to consider the nature and legal effects of exempting clauses which, while not essential, may be found in bills of exchange. Waiver of protest appears to have been introduced by the practice in France during the first third of the nineteenth century. It is generally used to moderate the consequences of non-payment, by a drawer who lacks confidence in the solvency of the drawee, or who fears that he may not be able to provide the necessary funds before maturity. The drawer can thus spare the susceptibilities of a drawee who …
Promissory Notes In The Legislations Of The Americas, Juan Octavio Díaz Lewis
Promissory Notes In The Legislations Of The Americas, Juan Octavio Díaz Lewis
Michigan Law Review
It has rightly been said that the promissory note is the Cinderella of negotiable paper. It is indeed strange that this instrument, widely used in most countries, is accorded only a few words in the legal textbooks and a few sections in the respective statutes. The purpose of the present study is not to rescue promissory notes from their present position of obscurity, but rather to present a unified classification of the specific provisions relating thereto, which are in force at the present time in the legislations of the American continent.
Acceptance By Intervention In Bills Of Exchange, Salvador Ltriago
Acceptance By Intervention In Bills Of Exchange, Salvador Ltriago
Michigan Law Review
Intervention is an act whereby a person becomes a party to a negotiable instrument, whether by accepting the bill or by paying the sum indicated thereon, in order to relieve one of the obligors on the bill from the action of recourse that the holder could assert against him in consequence of default of acceptance or payment by the drawee.
The complexity of the material to be discussed renders it necessary, in order to clarify the development of the exposition, for us to advance several concepts, which will later be considered more fully at the proper places.
Clovis Bevilaqua And The Brazilian Civil Code, Anyda Marchant
Clovis Bevilaqua And The Brazilian Civil Code, Anyda Marchant
Michigan Law Review
Clovis Bevilaqua is a monument in the history of Brazilian law. His death on July 26, 1944, closed the door on an epoch. When he began his career in the eighties, Brazilian law, with the exception of the commercial code, was uncoordinated and outmoded. Now. Brazil is in a period of very active work on the recodification of its laws and their adaptation to the needs of modern life. Not all of this change is the work of one man, but Bevilaqua was the principal lingering representative, among the lawyers, of the intellectual movement that accompanied the setting up of …
The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume One. Introduction: Family Law, Ernst Rabel
The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume One. Introduction: Family Law, Ernst Rabel
Michigan Legal Studies Series
Full application of comparative methods to the law of conflicts requires a working plan of some magnitude. We ought to take stock of the conflicts rules existing in the different countries of the world, state their similarities or dissimilarities, and investigate their purposes and effects. The solutions thus ascertained should moreover be subjected to an estimation of their usefulness, by the standards appropriate to their natural objective. Conflicts rules have to place private life and business relations upon the legal background suitable to satisfactory intercourse among states and nations. They are valuable to the extent that their practical functioning, rather …
