Income Tax--Capital Gains Tax--Meaning Of "More Than 80 Percent In Value Of The Outstanding Stock" Under Section 1239, Michigan Law Review
Income Tax--Capital Gains Tax--Meaning Of "More Than 80 Percent In Value Of The Outstanding Stock" Under Section 1239, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The sale of property by a taxpayer to a corporation which he controls has been a frequently attempted method of tax reduction for more than thirty years. Such a transaction has the advantage of maintaining ownership of the property in virtually the same hands, while at the same time resulting in a substantial mitigation of tax liability. For instance, in the post-World War II period, when property values were generally increasing, a taxpayer could sell to his controlled corporation at a gain depreciable property with a basis lowered by adjustments for prior depreciation allowances. The gain was immediately taxable at …
Conflicting Perfected Security Interests In Proceeds Under Article 9 Of The Uniform Commercial Code, Michigan Law Review
Conflicting Perfected Security Interests In Proceeds Under Article 9 Of The Uniform Commercial Code, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Section 9-306 gives the inventory financer a "continuously perfected" security interest in the proceeds of the inventory if the security interest in the original collateral was perfected. "Proceeds" is defined as including "whatever is received when collateral or proceeds is sold, exchanged, collected or otherwise disposed of." Thus, the inventory financer may have a security interest in the proceeds of the original collateral or the proceeds of the proceeds. The security interest in the proceeds may be perfected in either of two ways: (1) under section 9-306(3)(a) the security interest is perfected by filing a financing statement that expressly covers …
Jurisdiction--Libel--First Amendment's Role In Determining Place Of Trial In Libel Actions, Michigan Law Review
Jurisdiction--Libel--First Amendment's Role In Determining Place Of Trial In Libel Actions, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The seeming unfairness of basing jurisdiction solely on such ordinarily inconsequential acts as mailing a newspaper into another state has troubled some courts. Traditionally, the validity of such a jurisdictional basis would be judged against the fourteenth amendment standard of "fair play." In several recent cases, however, courts have brought to bear constitutional standards of free speech as well as of fairness in dealing with the problem of jurisdiction over the out-of- state defendant in a libel action. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in deciding New York Times Co. v. Connor, ruled that "First Amendment considerations …

Bankruptcy--Stay Of Bankruptcy Proceedings Denied To Creditor Seeking Lien On Exempt Property--Harris V. Hoffman, Michigan Law Review
Bankruptcy--Stay Of Bankruptcy Proceedings Denied To Creditor Seeking Lien On Exempt Property--Harris V. Hoffman, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The appellants, husband and wife, executed a promissory note to the appellee-bank. Thereafter, they purchased real property which they occupied as a homestead. Acting pursuant to an Iowa statute which subjects a homestead to debts contracted before the homestead was acquired, the bank commenced a suit on the note in state court, but this proceeding was stayed when appellants filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. After the trustee in bankruptcy set the homestead apart as property exempt under Iowa law, the bank sought a stay of discharge in bankruptcy for a reasonable period of time so that it could obtain …

Income Tax--Listing Abandoned Residence For Sale And Not For Rent Considered Sufficient To Convert To "Property Held For The Production Of Income"--Hulet P. Smith, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Since 1941, Hulet Smith and his wife had lived in a large house in Arcadia, California, where Smith had been actively engaged in a real estate loan business. In 1959, Smith decided to retire and move to Pebble Beach, a distance of about 400 miles from Arcadia. He purchased a parcel of land in Pebble Beach and built a large expensive home, with the avowed intention of making this his permanent personal residence. In 1961, after severing all business and social connections in the vicinity of their old residence, Smith and his wife moved into their new home, taking virtually …

Substantive Interests And The Jurisdiction Of State Courts, Paul D. Carrington, James A. Martin
Substantive Interests And The Jurisdiction Of State Courts, Paul D. Carrington, James A. Martin
Michigan Law Review
Pennoyer indeed is dead. The primitive ritual of service of process could not survive as a general solution to the problem of state power over individuals. Committed as we are to the idea that the judicial power should be exercised in a manner that is responsive to the common welfare, we could not suffer the limits of power to be determined irrationally by the random success of process servers. Offering only the virtues of simplicity and economy, the ritualistic method had to yield in order to make the judicial power a sharper and more effective tool with which to pursue …
Antitrust's Newest Quagmire: The Noerr-Pennington Defense, L. Barry Costilo
Antitrust's Newest Quagmire: The Noerr-Pennington Defense, L. Barry Costilo
Michigan Law Review
In recent years two relatively unheralded but sweeping antitrust decisions by the Supreme Court have given rise to ramifications far beyond their facts. Unless limited, they may be interpreted by business planners as providing safe havens in many areas of conduct where corporations and trade associations have previously feared to tread. The cases are Eastern Railroad Presidents Corp. v. Noerr Motor Freight, Inc. and United Mine Workers of America v. Pennington. The broad issue they raise is the extent to which business can concertedly seek to use the mechanism of government for the purpose of restraining trade without violating …
Jurisdiction--Foreign Patents--Jurisdiction Over Foreign Patent Claims, Michigan Law Review
Jurisdiction--Foreign Patents--Jurisdiction Over Foreign Patent Claims, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The territorial limitations of sovereignty have been held to preclude a country from giving extraterritorial effect to its patent laws, and, therefore, a patent confers rights which are protected only within the boundaries of the issuing country. Thus, United States and foreign patents, even when granted for the same invention, create separate and distinct rights which may differ in scope and effect in the respective countries. Concomitantly, courts have also held that a foreign patent confers upon its owner no rights or protection with respect to acts done in the United States.
The General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade In United States Domestic Law, John H. Jackson
The General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade In United States Domestic Law, John H. Jackson
Michigan Law Review
This article will undertake a two-step analysis. First, in Part II, the question whether GATT is legally a part of United States domestic law will be examined. Then, assuming GATT is part of this law, Part III will examine the extent of GATT's domestic law effect and its general relationship to other law, both federal and state. The chosen focus of this article thus excludes treatment of substantive obligations under specific GATT clauses. It also excludes intensive development of the myriad details of the scope of executive authority to negotiate particular trade concessions under legislation such as the Trade Expansion …

Federal Jurisdiction--Pendent Claims--Doctrine Of Pendent Jurisdiction Applies To Claim Of Second Plaintiff--Wilson V. American Chain & Cable Co.; Newman V. Freeman, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In Wilson v. American Chain & Cable Co., plaintiff, whose son was injured by a defective lawnmower, brought a diversity action in federal district court on behalf of his son against the manufacturer, alleging damages in excess of the $10,000 jurisdictional minimum. Simultaneously, plaintiff sought recovery in his own name for medical bills and the expense of orthopedic shoes resulting from the injury. Because the latter claim was for less than $10,000, it was dismissed by the district court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal to the Third Circuit, held, inter alia, the claim of the …

Income Tax--Recovered Property Previously Deducted Included In Gross Income In Year Of Recovery--Alice Phelan Sullivan Corp. V. United States, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In 1989 and 1940 the corporate taxpayer claimed as charitable deductions the value of two parcels of realty which it had donated to a charitable organization subject to the condition that they be used solely for religious or educational purposes. Having decided not to use the gifts in the manner specified, the donee reconveyed them to the taxpayer in 1957. The taxpayer failed to reflect this recovery in its gross income for that year. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, however, determined that under section 111 of the 1954 Internal Revenue Code (Code) the taxpayer's gross income reported in its 1957 …

Legal Aid--Lay Control And Organizational Complexity Render Oeo Legal Service Program Unacceptable To New York Court--In Re Community Action For Legal Services, Inc., Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and the New York City Council Against Poverty approved the organization and the OEO funding of three legal service corporations as part of a comprehensive program to provide legal assistance to New York City's poor. According to the plan, the first corporation, Community Action for Legal Services, Inc. (CALS), was to approve proposed plans for setting up and operating neighborhood law offices with OEO funds and then to supervise and coordinate the agencies that sought to put those plans into operation. These agencies, operating as delegates of CALS, and under subcontracts with it, were …

Statute Of Frauds--The Doctrine Of Equitable Estoppel And The Statute Of Frauds, Michigan Law Review
Statute Of Frauds--The Doctrine Of Equitable Estoppel And The Statute Of Frauds, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In 1677 the English Parliament enacted the first Statute of Frauds to prevent "many fraudulent practices, which are commonly endeavored to be upheld by perjury and subornation of perjury." The trial system then existing in England was forced to depend upon unreliable juries, and relied upon few rules of evidence besides the rule treating parties to an action as incompetent witnesses. Thus, in passing the Statute, Parliament sought to minimize the abuses possible under the trial system by providing that virtually no important contract would be enforceable unless reduced to writing.
Regulation Of Finance Charges On Consumer Instalment Credit, Robert W. Johnson
Regulation Of Finance Charges On Consumer Instalment Credit, Robert W. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
The subject of adequate disclosure of finance charges in consumer credit transactions has, in recent years, "become a rallying point for consumers and a battle line for industry." Equal heat is generated by discussions concerning the regulation of finance charges on consumer instalment credit. The aim of this article is to examine briefly the existing pattern of rate regulation and then to explore the purposes of ceilings on consumer finance charges and the problems involved in their design. As is true with the question of disclosure of finance charges, the problems are extremely complex. Men of good will on both …
