Corporations - Liability Of Stockholders Of Bank Stock Holding Company For Statutory Assessment On Bank Stock., Edward J. Wendrow
Corporations - Liability Of Stockholders Of Bank Stock Holding Company For Statutory Assessment On Bank Stock., Edward J. Wendrow
Michigan Law Review
The late depression with its attendant bank failures and the consequent assessment of shareholders has resulted in bringing before the courts a question that has never been litigated until comparatively recent times. That is, can the shareholders of a holding company, whose assets consist of stock of the closed bank, be subjected to the statutory assessment when the corporation itself is unable to meet the assessment? The case of Nettles v. Rhett is the latest of this series, and is fairly typical of the issues involved. This case concerned a suit by the receiver of the Peoples State Bank of …

Taxation - Capital Gains Tax (Revenue Act Of 1928) - Reorganizations - Definition Of A Party To A Reorganization, Milton A. Kramer
Michigan Law Review
Although "certainty" is one of the most desirable features of taxation, that quality has been conspicuously absent in regard to the portions of the 1928 Revenue Act which deal with capital gains in corporate reorganizations. In the four situations which the act sets forth as constituting a reorganization, capital gains arising therefrom are exempt from tax computation, the general purpose being to remove any impediment to normal corporate adjustments and to prevent the recognition of gains or losses until they are actually realized. However, this provision soon became an invitation for ingenious counsel to arrange the sales of corporate assets …

Torts - Negligent Misrepresentations - Information Gratuitously Supplied, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, who were liquidating trustees of a building and loan association, alleged that the association requested defendant to send it a copy of a certain will, but that defendant, who was trustee under the will, sent the association a copy of another will. Since the testators bore the same name, the association did not realize the error, but relied on the copy and suffered a loss which it would not have suffered if it had known the true state of facts. Plaintiffs sued to recover the loss. Held, plaintiffs have not stated a cause of action, inasmuch as they …

Banks And Banking - Relationship To Customers - Principal Or Creditor, Charles E. Nadeau
Michigan Law Review
A collection agreement permitted plaintiff to clear items through defendant bank in return for maintaining a balance of $10,000 which was not subject to check. All items received immediate credit, and twice weekly defendant bank remitted, in New York exchange, all amounts in excess of $10,000. On insolvency of defendant bank, plaintiff sought a preferred claim on the basis that the bank was its agent for collection. Held, where, as here, the bank may use the funds before remittance, or where the depositor may withdraw any part of the funds, the relationship is that of debtor-creditor and not of …
Bankruptcy - Corporate Reorganization - Approval Of Plan Of Bondholders' Committee In Foreclosure Proceeding In A State Court, Malcolm L. Denise
Bankruptcy - Corporate Reorganization - Approval Of Plan Of Bondholders' Committee In Foreclosure Proceeding In A State Court, Malcolm L. Denise
Michigan Law Review
The question of a state court's jurisdiction to pass on the fairness of a reorganization plan in connection with proceedings to foreclose a trust mortgage and sell the corporate property has been considered in but a surprisingly small number of cases. It would seem that this is a possibility the existence of which reorganization committees and dissenting bondholders have only begun to realize. In the recent case of First National Bank of Chicago v. Bryn Mawr, Beach Bldg. Corp., the trustee under a trust mortgage instituted foreclosure proceedings, and a committee representing a majority of the bondholders purchased at …

Corporations - Corporate Form Used To Evade Bank Double Liability, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, the receiver for an insolvent bank, sued the individual stockholders of an investment corporation on an assessment to the amount of the par value of the bank stock as provided by the constitution and statutes of South Carolina. The investment corporation had been organized several years previously to secure control of a group of banks. Its holdings throughout consisted only of bank stock, and finally solely of stock of the closed bank. Plaintiff claimed, since the corporation had no assets, that the stockholders of the investment corporation were individually liable, because the use of a holding company for the …
