Gasoline Marketing Divestiture Statutes: A Preliminary Constitutional And Economic Assessment, Hunter M. Meriwether, James C. Smith Nov 1976

Gasoline Marketing Divestiture Statutes: A Preliminary Constitutional And Economic Assessment, Hunter M. Meriwether, James C. Smith

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note has traced the recent developments in the oil industry and in gasoline marketing that have led to the enactment of divestiture statutes in three states and their consideration by the legislatures in many others. The statutes are essentially of two types: those prohibiting the owning or leasing of marketing outlets by vertically integrated oil companies and those prohibiting or limiting the operation of retail outlets with company employees. Both types of statutes, however, have as their primary aim the exclusion of the majors as competitors at the retail level. This is thought to be necessary to prevent anticompetitive …

Products Liability--Assumption Of Liability In Sale Of Assets, James Ronald Snyder Sep 1976

Products Liability--Assumption Of Liability In Sale Of Assets, James Ronald Snyder

West Virginia Law Review

One of the usual factors to be considered in the acquisition of one corporation by another is whether the transferee is to assume the transferor's liabilities. Often the intent of the parties can be effectuated by choosing one form of acquisition over another. For example, if the parties intend that the transferee assume all of the liabilities of the transferor, the transaction could be structured as a merger because, by operation of law, the transferee assumes all of the transferor's liabilities in a merger. On the other hand, if the parties decide that the transferee will assume none of the …

Financial Disclosure By Small Corporations, Russell J. Bruemmer Jan 1976

Financial Disclosure By Small Corporations, Russell J. Bruemmer

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This note will focus upon the desirability of compelling financial disclosure by corporations not subject to control under the existing federal securities legislation, which includes the vast majority of American corporations. While differing in degree and extent of application to corporations of varying sizes, the benefits derived from disclosure by large, widely-held corporations would also be obtained when disclosure is made by smaller, less widely-held corporations. The extension of federal or state disclosure requirements to corporations of all sizes and ownership dispersions, requiring them to place financial information before their shareholders at least once each year, is suggested.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act: Preemption As Public Policy, Philip F. Johnson Jan 1976

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act: Preemption As Public Policy, Philip F. Johnson

Vanderbilt Law Review

On October 23, 1974, President Ford signed into law P.L. 93-463, bearing the breathless title "Commodity Futures Trading Com-mission Act of 1974"' [hereinafter the CFTC Act]. The CFTC Act followed a series of hearings, beginning in the summer of 1973, held first by a subcommittee of the House Committee on Small Business and followed rapidly by the more traditional oversight committees of the Congress-the House Agriculture Committee and the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee.' The result was a major over-haul of the Commodity Exchange Act, which had governed the commodity futures markets since 1922. More significantly, however,the Act has become …


Derivative Suits: Director Demand Under Rule 23.1 And Section 36(B) Of The Investment Company Act, Archie E. Williams, Jr. Jan 1976

Derivative Suits: Director Demand Under Rule 23.1 And Section 36(B) Of The Investment Company Act, Archie E. Williams, Jr.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

In 1882, the Supreme Court first established the conditions precedent to an ordinary derivative action by the shareholders of a corporation. Now after over nine decades of common law development, the present conditions are embodied in Rule 23.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Of relatively recent interest, however, is the relationship between that Rule and section 36(b) of the Investment Act of 1940 (Act), which authorizes a derivative action by the shareholders of a registered investment company. This Note will focus on one aspect of that relationship--the requirement that a plaintiff make a demand upon the corporation's directors …
