Credit Unions--Regulatory Control Development--Problems--Recommendations, Charles D. Matthews Dec 1964

Credit Unions--Regulatory Control Development--Problems--Recommendations, Charles D. Matthews

Vanderbilt Law Review

An awareness of the credit union, its economic and social impact,has a special significance to the lawyer. Although such significance appears minimized by a dearth of litigation addressed to credit unions in the past, this is not a true reflection of fact; nor would a true history of credit union litigation be a guide to the future.

The Expanding Jurisdiction Of The Securities And Exchange Commission: Variable Annuities And Bank Collective Investment Funds, John W. Erickson

Michigan Law Review

The Securities and Exchange Commission is presently attempting to assert jurisdiction over certain aspects of two industries traditionally exempt from federal securities regulation-insurance and banking. The SEC claims that two recently developed investment vehicles-variable annuities in the insurance field and pooled funds of managing agency accounts in the banking field-are virtually the same as mutual funds, which are subject to SEC regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (A mutual fund is essentially a fund (usually in corporate form), the participants' contributions to which are collectively invested in a portfolio of securities, each participation representing a pro rata interest …

Some Conflict Of Laws Problems Relating To Negotiable Instruments, William O. Morris

West Virginia Law Review

In instances in which a negotiable instrument has circulated in two or more jurisdictions courts have had some difficulty in determining whether to apply the laws of one jurisdiction or the other in determining whether the complaining party had in fact obtained title to the instrument, and in determining the rights and liabilities of the parties in respect to the instrument. If an instrument, by its terms, discloses that it was drawn and was payable in the same jurisdiction in which the instrument was transferred, the courts are not faced with a conflict of laws problem for clearly the laws …
