Bankruptcy Vérité, Lynn M. Lopucki, Joseph W. Doherty
Michigan Law Review
In the empirical study we report in Bankruptcy Fire Sales, we compared the recoveries from the going-concern bankruptcy sales of twenty-five large, public companies with the recoveries from the bankruptcy reorganizations of thirty large, public companies. We found that, controlling for the asset size of the company and its presale or pre-reorganization earnings ("EBITDA"), reorganization recoveries were more than double sale recovenes. We are honored that Professor James J. White has chosen to comment on our study. White is an eloquent defender of the status quo, pulls no punches, and always has something interesting to say. Bankruptcy Noir is …

Treasury Stock; A Corporate Anomaly, Harry Kotler
Treasury Stock; A Corporate Anomaly, Harry Kotler
Cleveland State Law Review
Treasury shares are an anomaly, since it has thus far appeared that they have been subjected to a doctrine of expediency, a doctrine of ascertaining their position and consequences only from the point of view of the specific problem at hand. They are assets for one purpose, but not assets for another. They are treated as existing for one purpose, but nonexistent for another. They appear, reappear and disappear. They have a fluidity which is uncommon in corporate law, where certainty, precision and definiteness are the keynotes. Because they offer to a corporation a singularly tempting opportunity to represent the …

Bankruptcy-Corporate Reorganization-Power Of Court To Order Interim Payments While Petition Is Pending Under Chapter X Of Bankruptcy Act, William F. Snyder S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A petition for reorganization was filed, pursuant to Chapter X of the Chandler Act, October 3, 1947, which was adjudged on the same day to be in good faith and within the terms of the act. The corporation was clearly solvent, in the sense that its assets exceeded its liabilities, but needed financial adjustment to meet the principal on outstanding income notes due the following June. Thereafter, and before a plan was approved, the court entered an order directing the trustee of the debtor to pay 6% to the holders of the first mortgage bonds as an interim distribution to …

Corporations-Appraisal Statutes-Demand By Dissenting Shareholder For Cash Value Of His Shares, William J. Schrenk
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff shareholder, who dissented from a plan to sell all of defendant corporation's assets, sued under the Ohio statute to obtain appraisal of his shares. At plaintiff's request, an objection to the sale and a demand for the cash value of his shares was served upon defendant by his, attorney. Although the demand was made within the required period after the shareholders' meeting at which the plan was accepted, the trial court refused to allow appraisal on the ground that plaintiff did not make the demand personally and had not notified the corporation that his attorney was authorized to act …
Taxation-Income Tax-Deduction For Worthless Stock-Objective V. Subjective Test, Rosemary Scott
Taxation-Income Tax-Deduction For Worthless Stock-Objective V. Subjective Test, Rosemary Scott
Michigan Law Review
The taxpayer held stock in a corporation - which had been in receivership for five years, and which had, during all of that time, liabilities substantially exceeding its assets. When the receivership was ended and when a derivative suit against the management was compromised, the taxpayer declared the stock to be worthless and claimed a deduction for 1937. The commissioner denied the deduction on the ground that the stock had not become worthless in 1937. The Tax Court sustained this ruling and the circuit court of appeals affirmed. Held, the value of the stock should be determined by an …
Corporations - Capital, Capital Stock And Stock, Frederick K. Brown
Corporations - Capital, Capital Stock And Stock, Frederick K. Brown
Michigan Law Review
The recent case of Haggard v. Lexington Utilities Co. is typical of the nominalistic confusion occasioned by the use of the terms "capital" and "capital stock." Whatever progress the courts have made toward making them words of precise signification has not been reflected in the drafting of statutes, where they are employed to represent a bewildering number of connotations. The courts have recognized this and have not sought to make them words of art with a single, definitive meaning but through the mechanics of statutory interpretation have sought to divine the legislative intent.
