Partnership Sales: When Nonrecourse Debt Exceeds Fair Market Value, Commissioner V. Tufts, Joseph Perkovich
Akron Law Review
The United States Supreme Court has used its decision in Commissioner v. Tufts to settle a conflict between circuits and to fine tune an ambiguity which it created thirty-six years ago in Crane v.
