Secured Transactions In The Philippines, Estelito P. Mendoza

Washington Law Review

Philippine law on secured transactions is primarily statutory. Special laws dealing with chattel mortgages have been in effect since August 1, 1906. Title XV of the Philippine Civil Code deals with guaranty transactions and title XVI covers pledges and mortgages, with its major emphasis on pledges. The Chattel Mortgage Law was enacted by the Philippine Commission and is, thus, American in nature, while the Civil Code provisions are largely Spanish in origin.

Tax Consequences Of Doing Business In The Philippines, Ricardo J. Romulo

Washington Law Review

The impact of the Philippine system of taxation is of great importance to American investors and businessmen. According to the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, the total direct United States investment in the Philippines at the end of 1963 was 415 million dollars and of this amount 110 million dollars are invested in manufacturing. Consequently, the aim of this Article, after briefly tracing the history of Philippine tax laws, is to present a thorough but concise discussion of the tax consequences of establishing and operating a business, with emphasis on American owned or controlled corporations, in the Philippines.

The Principle Of "Harm" In The Concept Of Crime: A Comparative Analysis Of The Criminally Protected Legal Interests, Albin Eser

Duquesne Law Review

Contrary to most continental European criminal theories, in which the notion of harm-defined as a violation of some legally protected interest -plays a key role in determining criminality, Anglo-American criminal jurisprudence has paid little attention to the theoretical exploration and practical employment of the principle of harm.

The Dominican Crisis: An Examination Of Traditional And Contemporary Concepts Of International Law, John F. Naughton

Duquesne Law Review

In late April of 1965 the Dominican Republic became embroiled in internal revolution. On April 25th the Dominican government was toppled by supporters of former Dominican President Juan D. Bosch. For the next three days the pro-Bosch rebel regime demanded the return of the former president. Bosch's return, however, was opposed by units of the Dominican naval and air forces under the command of Dominican Air Force General Elias Wessin y Wessin. The revolution appeared to collapse after heavy fighting in the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo on April 27th. That day the United States Embassy in Santo Domingo announced …

Administrative Control Of The Terms Of Insurance Contracts: A Comparative Study, Spencer L. Kimball, Werner Pfennigstorf

Indiana Law Journal

A related article published in this journal, Kimball and Pfennigstorf, Legislative Control of the Terms of Insurance Contracts: A Comparative Study, 39 IND. L.J. 675 (1964), examined legislative and judicial control of the provisions of insurance policies. Ideally, it would have been better to publish all aspects of control of insurance policies in one article, but length as well as complexity necessitated division of the subject matter. The reader who wishes a more complete picture of public control of the terms of insurance contracts should consult the earlier article and other available literature.

Book Chapters

AT 2:20 A.M. ON MAY 1, 1962, while riding his bicycle along the Simferopol' Highway in the company of Baturin, Pronin fell and injured his shoulder. Leaving his bicycle with Pronin, Baturin went on foot to a nearby village to summon medical aid. Pronin waited for him for awhile, and then decided to go back to the village of Volosovo in a passing car. Seeing the Tula-Moscow bus coming, he ran onto the road and waved. The driver, Markelov, seeing Pronin run onto the road 50 feet ahead of the bus, swerved to the left, went into the left lane, …

Latin-American Land Reform: The Uses Of Confiscation, Kenneth L. Karst

Michigan Law Review

This article examines the legislative techniques for taking land, showing their confiscatory operation. For many lawyers, the analysis would then be easily completed: confiscation is wrongful and must be condemned. Rejecting the implicit absolutism of that conclusion, this article inquires into the justifications that can be pleaded on behalf of selective confiscation as an aid in solving some of Latin America's economic and social ills.

Personal Property As Collateral In Japan And The United States, Kazuaki Sono, Warren L. Shattuck

Washington Law Review

It is our purpose to compare Japanese and United States law and practice in the area of personal property security. Since it is not possible to find a precise common terminology for different types of security transactions, it seems desirable to arrange the discussion in terms of possessory and non-possessory security, and to use as subheads in the latter category the names of the American security devices. Security transfers of intangibles, chattel paper, and title documents are discussed under the possessory-security classification. An appendix includes English translations of cited Japanese statutes and pertinent Civil and Commercial Code as well as …

Alien Lawyers In The United States And Japan—A Comparative Study, Kaname Ohira, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

The steadily increasing economic and social contacts between Japan and the United States are illustrative of a development which has brought lawyers and laymen of all countries face to face with the need for more adequate, and accurate, information about the laws of all countries. Since the lawyer is the fount to which the informed layman turns for legal advice, it would seem quite natural for such a layman, faced with a problem involving foreign law, either to seek advice from his own attorney, or to turn to an alien admitted to the bar of the country, the laws of …

Introduction To U.S.-Japanese Investment, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington Law Review

The legal environment for foreign investment in Japan has undergone sweeping changes in the past year, both in the Japanese domestic legislation and in the international law spheres. New international law commitments started with findings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) about a year and a half ago that Japanese economic conditions warranted a relaxation of foreign exchange controls, and after the necessary adjustments, on March 12, 1964, Japan arranged to shift her IMF status from an Article XIV country to an Article VIII country, meaning essentially that thereafter her foreign exchange budget was abolished and her current accounts (i.e., …

Contract Problems In U.S.-Japanese Joint Ventures, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington Law Review

U.S.-Japanese joint ventures are by far the most important form of direct foreign investment in Japan. For unlike most advanced governments elsewhere in the world, Japanese officialdom has, with precious few exceptions, denied validation under the Law Concerning Foreign Investment to all enterprises wholly-owned or even majority-owned by foreigners. Furthermore, it was basic Japanese policy not to validate even a minority equity in a Japanese enterprise unless the foreigner possessed essential technology which he would not make available to Japanese industry by straight patent or know-how licensing arrangements. Since before July 1963 validation only meant the right to repatriate capital …

Japanese Investment Trusts, Hiroo Mizushima, Howard L. Lund, Masao Sekiguchi

Washington Law Review

Foreigners have been freely permitted to purchase shares of Japanese corporations since 1950, with the condition that the principal would not be freely remitted abroad. Until 1960 little attention was paid to this opportunity. The recent increase in foreign interest in Japanese equities has coincided with the easing of currency and exchange restrictions, particularly the shortening of the waiting period for the conversion of invested principal to the original currency of the investor. As of April 1, 1963, the waiting period was entirely eliminated, with the expectation of increased foreign investments. Because of the significant increase of foreign offerings in …

The Protection In Japan Of Inventions By Employees During The Course Of Their Employment, Bunzo Takino, Ward M. French

Washington Law Review

This article will explain the principles involved in article 35 of the Patent Law of Japan, as revised in 1959, dealing with employee inventions in Japan. The history of the revisions which have produced the present article will be discussed, then an interpretation of article 35 will be made, and finally an analysis and criticism of this article through a comparison with foreign laws will be provided.

The Antimonopoly Law Of Japan And Its Enforcement, Michiko Ariga, Luvern V. Rieke

Washington Law Review

The Antimonopoly Law of Japan became effective in July 1947, less than two decades ago. The act was extravagantly endorsed by the U.S. occupation forces as a charter for the economic future of Japan. It was indeed a significant undertaking, designed to implant democratic practices where none had existed before, and it required basic, almost revolutionary, changes in the economic structure of the nation. Equally important was the circumstance that this law was neither sought nor desired by the Japanese. It was imposed upon a defeated people, a device entirely alien to the history and culture of those who were …

Revitalization Of The International Judicial Assistance Procedures Of The United States: Service Of Documents And Takings Of Testimony, Richard F. Gerber

Michigan Law Review

This comment will examine two aspects of such judicial assistance-service. of documents and taking of testimony-and it will analyze each from the viewpoint of assistance obtained abroad in aid of American litigation as well as assistance rendered within the United States in aid of foreign litigation. It will attempt to survey some of the problems involved in securing performance of these acts, indicate the changes in current practice which are likely to result from the revisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the proposed amendments to the Judicial Code, and, last, suggest some additional measures which might promote …

The Powers Of Shareholders Of A Societe Anonyme, David J. Supino

Vanderbilt Law Review

French corporation law,which is primarily statutory, has seen no comprehensive statutory revision in almost a century; and while literally dozens of amendments have been engrafted on to the basic corporate legislation of 1867, they are for the most part ad hoc legislative resolutions of particular problems which betray no underlying unity of design and which have broken the unity of the old legislation. The result is that the law is Janus faced, and the theories which the law embodies are not wholly in accord with social and economic needs.

In this necessary process of assimilating new insights into the law …
