Insider Securities Dealings During Corporate Crises, Victor Brudney Nov 1962

Insider Securities Dealings During Corporate Crises, Victor Brudney

Michigan Law Review

The problem of assuring the fidelity of corporate insiders to the public investors in their enterprises figured prominently in legal literature and law reform proposals twenty-five or thirty years ago. In recent years, that question has attracted relatively less attention-in part because of the appearance or recognition of more significant problems in the relationship of publicly-held corporate enterprise to the national well-being, but in part also because of the development by courts, legislatures and administrative agencies-and to some extent by the insiders' community itself-of more exacting standards of loyalty. Recognition of broader obligations to their corporations and to public investors …

Creditors' Rights And Security Transactions -- 1961 Tennessee Survey (Ii), Forrest W. Lacey

Vanderbilt Law Review

During the period under survey there were few cases dealing with creditors' rights or security transactions. One of these, Cannon Mills, Inc.v. Spivey,' presented the question of whether the mere filing of a bill to subject the property of an insolvent debtor for the benefit of creditors created a lien lis pendens, or whether registration of the lien was necessary before it became effective. The facts were as follows. A judgment creditor with a nulla bona return filed a general creditors' bill on October 18, to subject the property of an insolvent debtor for the benefit of all his creditors. …

Taxation-Federal Income Taxation-Examination Of Certain Problems Under Section 335, Roger B. Harris S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Stock and securities of controlled corporations may be distributed to shareholders, tax free, in cases of corporate separations which qualify under section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. A corporate separation is effected by the transfer of part of a corporation's assets to a subsidiary, the stock of which is distributed to the parent's stockholders.

Although the board immediately authorized the transmission of information concerning its action to the New York Stock Exchange, an inadvertent delay of forty-five minutes ensued.

Securities Regulation- Federal Courts-Private Rights Of Action Under The Investment Company Act Of 1940, Lee D. Powar

Michigan Law Review

Two actions for damages were brought against officers and directors of a mutual investment fund alleging violations of the Investment Company Act of 1940. These actions, by the fund itself and by a stockholder on behalf of the fund, were consolidated in a federal district court. The court denied defendant's motion to dismiss for want of federal jurisdiction. On an interlocutory appeal by the non-affiliated directors, held, reversed. The Investment Company Act of 1940 does not expressly or by implication create a private right of action cognizable in the federal courts against non-affiliated directors. Brouk v. Managed Funds, Inc. …
