It is the purpose of this comment to consider the tax problems connected with both types of "conventional" corporate buy and sell agreements. It should be recognized, however, that there are many questions of local law and business necessity that also exert influence on the use of such agreements.

Priorities, Edgar N. Durfee
Michigan Law Review
Among those of Edgar Durfee's colleagues who were familiar with this paper it came to be known as "Little Nemo," for a reason that will become apparent to the reader. It is taken from his mimeographed Cases on Security, third edition, published in 1938. Possibly it was published earlier but there is a gap in the evidence. It did not appear in the first edition published in 1934 but no copy of the second edition has been located. In a few places its age shows, for example in the reference to Walsh as the author of the most recent …
Trial Of Legal Issues In Injunction Against Tort, Edgar N. Durfee
Trial Of Legal Issues In Injunction Against Tort, Edgar N. Durfee
Michigan Law Review
This essay appeared in a casebook on Equitable Remedies that was used for years in mimeographed form at the University of Michigan Law School. It was never prepared for final publication by Professor Durfee himself, but the numerous changes made in his own personal copy indicate that he had given much thought to the subject. Professor John P. Dawson who had collaborated with Professor Durfee has incorporated these changes in the present text. More changes might have been made by Professor Durfee if he had planned to publish it. The editors believe that as it stands it deserves a wider …

Specific Performance In France And Germany, John P. Dawson
Michigan Law Review
Edgar Durfee studied long and closely the subject of specific performance. He taught it for many years, wrote about it and planned to ·write more. He conceived it broadly, as he did every subject that ever had his attention, but he had a lively interest in details, including very technical details. Long before others and much more than most, he saw the importance of our remedial system both in shaping law and as a reflection of its larger purposes. All those who learned from him will remember as long as memory lasts the insight he gave and the hidden meanings …

Bankruptcy - Tenancy By The Entireties - Creditors's Right Against Entry Property After Discharge Of Husband In Bankruptcy, E. Roger Frisch
Michigan Law Review
The United States as assignee sought a joint judgment on four unsecured promissory notes signed by the defendants, who are husband and wife. The husband had filed in bankruptcy before the assignment of the notes to plaintiff and was discharged from all debts filed in the bankruptcy proceeding schedules (including the instant debt) prior to any action on these notes. His estate by the entireties, however, was not used to satisfy any listed debts. Held, plaintiff is entitled to proceed to judgment. A discharge in bankruptcy limits only the sources available for satisfaction. United States v. Fetter and Fetter …

International Law - Meaning Of The Term "Declaration Of War" As Used In A Time Charter, Glenn O. Fuller
Michigan Law Review
A time charter provided that either party should have a right to cancel "if war is declared against any present NATO countries. . . ." Respondent-owners, having invoked this clause shortly after the Suez crisis erupted into open warfare, contended that a speech delivered by Egyptian President Nasser constituted a declaration of war. The speech in question, which was delivered to a large public gathering in Cairo, broadcast throughout Egypt and subsequently published, declared in part, "We shall fight as we have always said in a total war." It urged the people to "fight and never surrender." In libels for …

Judgments - Res Judicata - Limitation Of California Doctrine Of Collateral Estoppel In Multiple Claimant Cases, Sidney B. Hopps
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs were injured when their car was struck by defendant. They commenced separate negligence actions, which were consolidated for trial. These actions resulted in a judgment for plaintiff son, but judgments were entered against the plaintiffs mother and father. These parties were granted a new trial, with no limitation upon the issues to be tried. On the second trial the parents asserted the son's judgment, which had become final and been satisfied, as conclusively establishing defendant's negligence. The trial court ruled against them and submitted the issue of defendant's negligence to the jury. On appeal by the parents, held, …

Michigan Law Review

General Counsel for the NLRB contended that by this conduct the employer "interfered with, restrained or coerced" employees in their exercise of the right to self-organization. This contention was rejected by the NLRB, but on appeal was accepted by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed, two justices dissenting. Even if an employer could commit …

He must secure a judgment against the financially irresponsible driver and petition the court to order the …

Bankruptcy - Priorities - Status Of Employer Contributions To Union Welfare Fund, John W. Simpson

Under a collective bargaining agreement an employer was required to contribute eight dollars monthly to a union welfare fund for each of its employees who were union members. A trust agreement authorized the trustees of this fund to file claims of priority in any proceeding involving the employer's insolvency. In a bankruptcy proceeding the trustees of the fund sought priority as wage claimants for the employer's unpaid contributions to the fund which had accrued during the three months prior to bankruptcy. In the same proceeding the United States sought priority for unpaid taxes. The referee ruled that the unpaid employer …

Labor Law - Arbitration - Power Of Arbitrator To Enjoin Union From Continuing Slowdown, Lawrence M. Kelly
Michigan Law Review
An arbitrator, acting under a collective bargaining agreement which called for a "speedy arbitration" procedure, issued an award enjoining the unions from continuing a slowdown in violation of that clause of the agreement forbidding strikes, lockouts, and slowdowns. A Supreme Court order granted the employers' motion to confirm the award and overruled the unions' cross motion to vacate. The unions claimed that the arbitrator, in issuing the injunction, had exceeded the powers granted him under the agreement and had acted contrary to section 876a of the Civil Practice Act (the New York Anti-Injunction Act). The Appellate Division affirmed the order …

On review, the Board of Regents approved this determination, but on appeal the state supreme court reversed the Board.

The Supreme Court - October 1957 Term, Bernard Schwartz
Michigan Law Review
One of the fascinating new games being played by some law professors and others," declared an American Bar Association Journal editorial almost a decade ago, "is to compute the 'box scores' of the votes of justices of the Supreme Court in various important lines of cases."' The present article is not intended as an addition to the work of those engaged in this sort of "numbers game." However useful the statistical method may be in providing the empirical data upon which legal analysis can be based, it should be almost self-evident that its value as the key to the working …

Constitutional Law - Due Process - Dismissal Of State Employees For Refusal To Answer Questions Concerning Membership In Communist Organizations, Roger W. Findley
Michigan Law Review
In companion cases state employees of Pennsylvania and New York were dismissed on grounds of "incompetency" and "doubtful trust and reliability" for refusing to answer questions by superiors concerning membership in communist organizations. Petitioner Beilan also invoked the Fifth Amendment at a hearing by a congressional investigating committee between the time he refused to answer his superior and the time he was dismissed. Appellant Lerner had invoked the Fifth Amendment when he refused to answer the questions asked by city officials. The highest courts of the states upheld the dismissals, making it clear that they were based on refusal to …
