Consumer Credit--The Department Store Revolving Charge Account--Usury Resurrected--State V. J.C. Penney Company, Michigan Law Review Jun 1971

Consumer Credit--The Department Store Revolving Charge Account--Usury Resurrected--State V. J.C. Penney Company, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Attorney General of Wisconsin recently brought an action against the J.C. Penney retailing chain for an injunction against any further charges of 1½% per month on the declining balances of its revolving charge accounts. The state alleged that anything in excess of I% per month was a violation of the $12 per $100 per annum usury ceiling established by its legislature as the maximum chargeable for a loan or forbearance of money. Penney admitted that its monthly charge frequently exceeded the allowable rate but argued that its charge was a "time-price differential," exempt from statutory control under the time-price …

Consumer Sensitivity To Interest Rates: An Empirical Study Of New Car Buyers And Auto Loans, James J. White, Frank W. Munger Jr.

Articles

ALTHOUGH it has never been clear whether the consumer needs to be protected from his own folly or from the rapaciousness of those who feed on him, consumer protection is a topic of intense current interest in the courts, in the legislatures, and in the law schools. A number of recent court decisions have attempted to attack problems confronting the consumer; unfortunately, these judicial efforts have succeeded primarily in disclosing the limitations in the courts' ability to deal with such problems. State and federal legislative bodies have pursued more carefully designed remedies. Congress has passed the Truth-in-Lending Act; the National …

Bank Charge Cards: New Cash Or New Credit, Roland E. Brandel, Carl A. Leonard May 1971

Bank Charge Cards: New Cash Or New Credit, Roland E. Brandel, Carl A. Leonard

Michigan Law Review

It is the premise of this Article that the bank charge card systems constitute a new, highly useful, and efficient payment and credit mechanism; that any decision-making body that promulgates a rule on the issue of the assertability of consumer defenses must carefully evaluate the true functions of bank charge cards, particularly their role as part of a sophisticated payment mechanism, and weigh the relative interests of the consuming public, merchants, and members of the banking industry to derive the best solution for society; that courts are ill-equipped to perform this function; and, that, given the national and international usage …

Proposed Sec Rules For Private Offerings: The Impact On Venture Capital Financing, Gregory A. Kearns Jan 1971

Proposed Sec Rules For Private Offerings: The Impact On Venture Capital Financing, Gregory A. Kearns

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In order to facilitate venture capital financing, corporations rely upon the private offering exemption from the registration and prospectus requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In an attempt to prevent this exemption from serving as a conduit for the flow of securities into the public securities markets, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed new rules regulating the resale of securities purchased in a private offering. These proposals would alter, among other things, the existing holding period, sales limitation, and financial information requirements. This article will examine the impact of the proposed *rules on venture capital financing of …

Limitations On Defenses Under 10 (B): In Pari Delicto And Unclean Hands, G. Andrew Nea Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

The evolution 'and development of the corporate conglomerate has been the most significant factor in the growth of twentieth century American enterprise. Corporate growth has far outdistanced that of alternative forms of business. The purchase and sale of an increasing volume of corporate securities has permitted management to raise impressive quantities of capital, and has allowed numerous investors to share in the profits realized from the judicious use of their funds.

Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory And Catv, Victor P. Goldberg Jan 1971

Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory And Catv, Victor P. Goldberg

Faculty Scholarship

In his article, Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory and CATV, James Ohls makes a number of erroneous assertions concerning the optimum pricing of CATV. Most of his problems stem from a failure to properly define the environment in which the optimum price is to be set and the role that an optimum price should play. If one alters Ohls' implicit (and sometimes contradictory) assumptions and if one keeps in mind the purpose prices should serve in an economic system, a number of Ohls' conclusions are altered.


Variable Annuities, Variable Insurance And Separate Accounts, Tamar Frankel Jan 1971

Variable Annuities, Variable Insurance And Separate Accounts, Tamar Frankel

Faculty Scholarship

The variable annuity is a novel retirement plan. It was devised to minimize the inadequacies of a fixed-dollar annuity as a retirement device. Inflation and an accelerating standard of living have left persons receiving fixed-dollar annuities with only a fraction of the income required to meet their needs.
