Business Associations -- 1956 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal Aug 1956

Business Associations -- 1956 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal

Vanderbilt Law Review

Surprisingly few cases were decided in the field of Business Associations during the survey period. Those decisions for the most part merely reaffirmed legal principles already established in Tennessee law. One of the cases, Wyatt v. Brown,' raised again the interesting old question of what is a partnership and what factual elements are necessary to constitute the partnership relation. This article discusses that question first and then comments rather briefly on the other cases and the principles they enunciate.

Legal Effect Of Contracts To Devise Or Bequeath Prior To The Death Of The Promisor: I, Bertel M. Sparks Nov 1954

Legal Effect Of Contracts To Devise Or Bequeath Prior To The Death Of The Promisor: I, Bertel M. Sparks

Michigan Law Review

Questions involving the rights, duties, powers, privileges, and immunities of parties to contracts to devise or bequeath are frequently raised prior to the death of the party promising to make the devise or bequest. In essence the problem is one of analyzing the legal relationships existing prior to the date set for performance. An analysis of these relationships is undertaken in this article. Vital questions concerning the formation of such contracts and their enforcement after the promisor's death are considered only when they appear essential to the development of the main theme which concerns the contract's effect prior to the …


Taft-Hartley Sections 301 And 303 Procedural Aspects, Joseph F. Dirisio, Joseph Martin Jr. Apr 1954

Taft-Hartley Sections 301 And 303 Procedural Aspects, Joseph F. Dirisio, Joseph Martin Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The motives and purposes behind the binate Sections 301 and 303, no less than other sections of the Taft-Hartley Act,' are mixed and ambiguous. Foremost, however, seems the notion that Congress intended to create new federal rights, contract and tort, enforceable nationally in a federal forum. In broad terms, where the required relationship to interstate commerce exists, Section 301 permits suits by either employers or unions for violation of collective bargaining agreements; Section 303 permits those injured by certain boycotts and unlawful combinations to bring suit-- in both cases, the forum provided is the district court of the United States. …
