Securities - Inter Vivos Gifts To Minors, Stephen C. Bransdorfer S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A statute recently enacted in twelve states and expected to be considered by seven other states this year, authorizes a new method for making gifts of securities to minors and for administering such gifts. The statute provides: (1) that irrevocable gifts of securities may be made to minors by use of statutory registration or deed of gift forms; (2) for the creation of a new type of fiduciary termed a custodian; (3) that the custodian shall have powers and duties over the minor's securities including authority to manage, sell, reinvest the proceeds from the sale and administer the securities for …

Constitutional Law - Bills Of Attainder - Legislative Denial Of Salary Appropriation, Kenneth H. Haynie
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, a civil service employee of the Minnesota Department of Conservation, had held the position of Assistant Director of Game and Fish since its creation. In 1953 the legislature enacted an appropriations bill which included a provision that: "Of the amounts appropriated for salaries . . . no part shall be used to pay the salary of an Assistant Director of Game and Fish." Plaintiff brought an action for a declaratory judgment against his immediate superior, contending that the rider was void. He introduced evidence to show that he had incurred the enmity of certain members of the legislature and …

Constitutional Law - Deportation - Use Of Confidential Information In Denial Of Discretionary Relief, George F. Lynch
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, husband and wife, were deportable aliens. At deportation hearings the plaintiffs asked the attorney general to grant discretionary suspension of deportation under section 19 (c) of the Immigration Act of 1917, as amended, which provided in part: "In the case of any alien ... who is deportable ... and who has proved good moral character for the preceeding five years, the attorney general may ... (2) suspend deportation ... if he finds (a) that such deportation would result in serious economic detriment to a citizen .... " Plaintiffs had three children who were all American citizens.

Constitutional Law - Delegation Of Legislative Power - Use Of State Agency Classification As Basis For Federal Law, James Tobin
Michigan Law Review
Under provisions of the Federal Coal Mine Safety Act a coal mine is classified as gassy within the meaning of the act, and certain precautionary measures are thereby required, when the U. S. Bureau of Mines finds that the mine atmosphere fails to meet tests set forth in the act or when the mine is found to be a "gassy or gaseous mine pursuant to and in accordance with the laws of the State in which it is located." One of appellant's coal mines was classified as gassy by the West Virginia Department of Mines. When appellant failed to comply …
Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Unprotected Activities Of Union As Violation Of Duty To Bargain In Good Faith, Hazen V. Hatch S.Ed.
Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Unprotected Activities Of Union As Violation Of Duty To Bargain In Good Faith, Hazen V. Hatch S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
During negotiations for a new contract, the union engaged in harassing action against the employer by promoting an organized refusal to work overtime, extending rest periods without authorization, directing employees to refuse to work special hours, encouraging slow-downs and unannounced walkouts, and inducing employees of a subcontractor not to work for their employer. There was no specific demand which the activity was designed to enforce. The National Labor Relations Board found that this activity was evidence of a failure on the part of the union to bargain in good faith, and was, therefore, a violation of section 8 (b) (3) …

Torts - Liability Of Supplier Of Chattel - Proof Of Manufacturer's Negligence, Whitmore Gray
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff service station operator brought an action to recover for injuries resulting from the explosion of one of defendant manufacturer's tires. The tire, while admittedly new, had been purchased by a third party some eighteen months before being brought to the plaintiff for mounting. In addition to his own testimony, the only evidence supporting plaintiff's claim of negligence was expert testimony that such an explosion could be caused by defective wire in the bead when a tire was inflated to normal pressure, and also that there was opportunity for negligence in defendant's manufacturing processes. The district court set aside the …

Labor Law - Lmra - Validity Under Federal Act Of State Right To Work Statute Interpreted To Bar Exclusive Bargaining Rights Clause, Edward W. Powers S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff employer, operator of a retail food store, refused to sign a contract with a union representing the only two butchers then employed by him on the ground that acceptance of a clause in the contract making the union the exclusive bargaining representative of all butchers in his establishment would violate the state right to work statute. The two butchers went on strike and began picketing the employer's establishment. The employer thereupon hired a non-union butcher and sought to have the picketing enjoined. The state district court denied the injunction. On certiorari to the state supreme court, held, reversed, …

Torts - Federal Torts Claims Act- Pertinence Of Governmental Proprietary Distinction, David L. Nelson
Michigan Law Review
The tug Navajo went aground and its cargo was severely damaged by water. The owners and insurers of the tug and its cargo brought an action under the Federal Tort Claims Act alleging that the grounding of the Navajo was caused by the failure of the light in the lighthouse on Chandeleur Island, and that this failure was attributable to negligent acts and omissions on the part of Coast Guard personnel whose duty it was to check the light. The district court dismissed the action on the ground that the United States had not consented to be sued in the …

Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Duty Of Employer To Allow Union Time Study, Paul A. Heinen S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A dispute arose between the employer and the union as to whether certain duties performed by an employee should be classified as "special assignments" as defined in the labor contract. If these duties were "special assignments" the employee was entitled to a higher job classification. Before arrangements could be made for the third step of the grievance procedure the union asked for permission to enter the plant and analyze the job. Permission was denied by the management and the union filed a charge of unlawful refusal to bargain. The trial examiner found that by refusing the union's request the employer …
Future Interests - Possibilities Of Reverter - Constitutionality Of Retroactive Limitation, Paul A. Heinen S.Ed.
Future Interests - Possibilities Of Reverter - Constitutionality Of Retroactive Limitation, Paul A. Heinen S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The township school trustees brought actions under the Reverter Act to have the possibilities of reverter contained in the deeds to two currently unused school tracts declared invalid. In each case the trial court held that the possibility of reverter was alienable and that the Reverter Act was unconstitutional, being an ex post facto law and in violation of the due process clauses of the state and federal Constitutions. On appeal, held, reversed. Since possibilities of reverter in Illinois are merely expectancies subject to change, modification, or abolition by legislative action, the act does not result in an unconstitutional …

Creation Of Joint Rights Between Husband And Wife In Personal Property: I, R. Bruce Townsend
Creation Of Joint Rights Between Husband And Wife In Personal Property: I, R. Bruce Townsend
Michigan Law Review
Joint ownership of personal property in recent years has become a common practice--one to which husband and wife are especially addicted. The topic is worthy of more than academic concern as demonstrated by the public use of joint titles in the acquisition of all kinds of personal assets, particularly investment securities. A casual conversation with almost any banker would disclose that a very high percentage of accounts owned by married people are held jointly with their spouses. The current popularity of dual ownership, for example, is reflected in the marketing policy of the United States Treasury in the sale of …
Church, State, And Freedom: A Review, Paul G. Kauper
Church, State, And Freedom: A Review, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The Supreme Court's opinion in the Everson case declaring that the separation-of-church-and-state limitation derived from the First Amendment was equally applicable to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment opened up new vistas on the church-state problems in this country. Opponents of released time programs were quick to seize the opening thus afforded as evidenced by the litigation in the McCollum and Zorach cases. And even before the Everson case reached it, the Supreme Court, thanks almost entirely to the efforts of Jehovah's Witnesses, had been engaged at length with the task of defining the dimensions of religious freedom as secured …
Two-Contract Analysis May Imperil Stock Option Plans, James F. Ward
Two-Contract Analysis May Imperil Stock Option Plans, James F. Ward
Michigan Law Review
Stock option plans generally have withstood judicial scrutiny where they have complied with the requirements developed to control the operation of this type of arrangement. It would seem, therefore, that the future of stock options is secure against even the most critical court review-that nothing in the nature of the stock option arrangement would render it vulnerable to a general attack. The writer believes that complacency in this assumption is not now advisable. Recently a view (from a respectable authority) has been introduced unnoticed into this area, and may have gained the acceptance accorded to an unsuspected imposter. This view, …
Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Michigan Law Review
The first edition of the Encyclopedia Americana (1829-1833) contains numerous articles on a wide variety of legal subjects, including such topics as Common Law, Jury, Equity, etc. The identity of the author of these articles is not disclosed. There is an occasional footnote, however, which declares: "this article prepared by an eminent American jurist." This suggested the possibility of a lively and interesting manhunt--a search for the "eminent American jurist" who agreed to submit articles on law for the Encyclopedia, but who preferred to remain anonymous.
Contracts - Consideration- Requirement Of Consideration For Modification Of A Contract, David Macdonald
Contracts - Consideration- Requirement Of Consideration For Modification Of A Contract, David Macdonald
Michigan Law Review
Landlord leased space to tenant in a building which was to be erected. The agreement and subsequent modifications pro- . vided that the landlord should pay the broker's commission and architect's fees, and have the power to cancel the lease prior to a specified time. The litigation arose over another attempted modification in the form of a letter from the tenant in which the tenant promised to indemnify the landlord for the broker's commission and architect's fees if the landlord should cancel the lease as it had the power to do under the agreement. In compliance with the tenant's request, …

Securities Regulation-Civil Liability Under Rule X-10b-5 For Fraud In The Purchase Or Sale Of Securities, J. David Voss S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
On May 21, 1942 the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, promulgated rule X-10B-5.2 The purpose of the new rule was apparently to close a loophole in the then existing pattern of regulation of the purchase and sale of securities. The loophole resulted from a gap between section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, which prohibits the use of fraud in the sale of securities by any person, and section 15(c)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which prohibits the use of fraud in the sale or purchase of …

While petitioner and his wife were away, police concealed a microphone in the hall of his home, later moving it to the bedroom and finally to a bedroom closet. The instrument was connected to a receiver in a neighboring garage where other officers monitored all conversations for more than a month. Petitioner exhausted all state remedies in his attempt to have the evidence so obtained declared …

Labor Law-Back Pay Awards-Duty Of Discharged Employee To Seek Other Employment, Howard A. Cole S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The National Labor Relations Board issued a back pay order in favor of the victim of a discriminatory discharge, computing the award on the basis of the earnings of the dischargee's replacement during the period of discrimination less the amount actually earned by the dischargee in other employment during the same period. The dischargee had registered with the state unemployment agency but had earned only $294.20 over a two-year period. On petition for enforcement of the order, held, order set aside and case remanded.

Plaintiff made a prepayment of $59,946.67, or twenty-five percent, on twenty printing presses which it was purchasing for shipment to Russia. Before their delivery a federal regulation was promulgated under which plaintiff was denied an export license. Plaintiff therefore rejected tender of the presses, and defendant vendor sold them to a third party for $18,765 more than the contract price to plaintiff. Plaintiff sued to recover its down payment and the profit resulting from defendant's resale. On appeal from a judgment for defendant, held, reversed and remanded. A defaulting purchaser is entitled to restitution of its payments in excess …
