Contracts - Illegality - Effect Of Partial Illegality Dec 1934

Contracts - Illegality - Effect Of Partial Illegality

Michigan Law Review

It has long been accepted that the illegality of part of a contract does not necessarily make the entire contract unenforceable. However, it is difficult to predict in a given case whether or not the court will hold that recovery may be had upon the lawful part of the contract. It is often said that such recovery will be allowed when the illegal portion of the contract can be clearly separated from the lawful part, but .even when stated in such broad terms - so broad in fact that it is of little help in solving the problem - the …

Corporations-Qualifications Of Officers-Effect On Existing By-Laws Of Change In Statute

Michigan Law Review

Corporate by-laws adopted under and following Act No. 84, Michigan Public Acts of 1921, required that directors be chosen from stockholders, the positions to become vacant should the directors dispose of their stock. In 1931 the statute was changed, now reading that "directors . . . need not be shareholders unless the articles so provide." The by-laws were not altered. Qualified directors subsequently disposed of their stock and petitioned the chancery court under the statute for dissolution of the corporation and appointment of a receiver. Appealing from an order granting that petition, creditors and stockholders of the corporation contended that …

Corporations - Right Of Minority Stockholders To Interfere In Corporate Management Apr 1934

Corporations - Right Of Minority Stockholders To Interfere In Corporate Management

Michigan Law Review

In determining the relationship between the majority and minority stockholders of a corporation, the courts are faced with the problem of striking a correct balance between the rights of the plaintiff stockholder, who alleges that he is being oppressed by the majority, and the rights of the majority, acting through the regular corporate machinery, who allege that the corporation is being harassed by a troublesome minority. It is necessary to protect the minority from the machinations of those in control; it is likewise necessary to protect the corporation, as controlled by the majority, from the blackmailer who holds a few …


The Evolution And Devolution Of Public Utility Law, Edwin C. Goddard Mar 1934

The Evolution And Devolution Of Public Utility Law, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

As long ago as 1873, and very likely even earlier, courts were speaking of the public utility in the sense of the public convenience or advantage, a New Jersey court saying, "these prerogatives (of railway corporations) are grants from the government, and public utility is the consideration for them." This has been often quoted by other courts, notably by your Judge Atherton in the famous case of Scofield v. Railway in 1885. But the term "public utility'' as applied to plants or corporations rendering a public service is very new. It is not to be found in the 1904 edition …


Municipal Corporations - Power To License - Discretionary Power In Administrative Officers Feb 1934

Municipal Corporations - Power To License - Discretionary Power In Administrative Officers

Michigan Law Review

The City Council of Philadelphia enacted an ordinance requiring as many officers or firemen as the Director of Public Safety should deem necessary to be present at all athletic contests for profit, and further provided that the officers or firemen so stationed should be compensated at the rate of $5.50 per day by those persons requiring or demanding such service. The plaintiff brought this suit in equity to declare invalid and restrain the enforcement of the ordinance. The lower court held that the ordinance was invalid, but the supreme court reversed this decision and held that this was a valid …

Trade Restraints - Covenants Restricting Owner's Use Of His Premises Jan 1934

Trade Restraints - Covenants Restricting Owner's Use Of His Premises

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs and defendant were competing theatre proprietors, owning buildings on opposite sides of the street in X city. For a monetary consideration defendant covenanted to discontinue forever the use of his building as a public theatre. Plaintiffs sought an injunction upon defendant's breach, and defendant demurred on the ground that the covenant was in restraint of trade and not ancillary to any property interest conveyed and requiring protection. Held, injunction granted, for in Ohio a contract in reasonable restraint of trade is enforceable though not incidental to some other independent contract or conveyance; and, if such transaction is necessary, …
