The Influence Of Control In The Determination Of Partnership Liability, Scott Rowley
The Influence Of Control In The Determination Of Partnership Liability, Scott Rowley
Michigan Law Review
The influence of control in the determination of partnership liability raises many interesting questions. Particularly within the past decade or slightly more it has been considered by the courts, at times with considerable vigor and with little logic or historical background. A perusal of the texts on partnership discloses very little mention of control as a test of partnership. As a rule it has not earned a place in the indices. The digests are almost equally devoid of place for it. In the few older cases where it is considered at all, it is quite often treated as a poor …

Conflict Of Laws-Jurisdiction-Foreign Corporation Not Doing Business In The State
Conflict Of Laws-Jurisdiction-Foreign Corporation Not Doing Business In The State
Michigan Law Review
A summons addressed to the defendant corporation was served upon one of its officers at his private residence in Minnesota. The defendant, appearing specially, moved to set aside the service on the ground that it was a foreign corporation not transacting business in the state and that it had empowered no one to accept service of process there in its behalf. The plaintiff contended that the acquisition and ownership of property in Minnesota brought the defendant into the state and under the jurisdiction of its courts. Held, jurisdiction over the corporate property did not give jurisdiction over the corporate …

When May An Ultra Vires Contract Be Enforced In Washington?, Elwood Hutcheson
When May An Ultra Vires Contract Be Enforced In Washington?, Elwood Hutcheson
Washington Law Review
Under the early common law, an ultra vires contract of a private corporation was absolutely void, on the theory that there being no power to make such a contract, legally there was no contract. It is at the present time well established in practically all jurisdictions that neither an action at law nor in equity can be maintained either by or against a corporation on an ultra vires contract which remains executory as to both parties or has been only partially performed, even though unanimously ratified by the board and stock holders. It is also well settled that where such …

The "Trust Fund" Theory: A Study In Psychology, Hyman Zettler
The "Trust Fund" Theory: A Study In Psychology, Hyman Zettler
Washington Law Review
The trust fund doctrine was one of the most interesting judicial creations of the last half of the nineteenth century. It performed and still performs a very useful function, but it has suffered much from its unfortunate name. In some jurisdictions the result has been an undue curtailment of its functions; in others, an undue extension of them. The doctrine has apparently come in for its most extensive application in our own jurisdiction. Indeed, it is here reaching out for new fields. It is, therefore, important for us to know the real scope of the theory and whether it should …
The Administration Of The Property Of A Deceased Partner, Burton J. Wheelon
The Administration Of The Property Of A Deceased Partner, Burton J. Wheelon
Washington Law Review
The descent of property to heirs or devisees is a right conferred by society and the statutes governing administration and distribution must, as a general rule, be strictly complied with. The case of the administration of a deceased member of a partnership, however, deals with property which does not belong to the deceased alone, but in which the surviving partners have a common and often equal or superior interest. Furthermore, the obligations incurred by the firm, through its members, bind the members jointly, it being remembered that a partnership is not an entity in the eyes of the law, but …

Unintended Partnerships, Judson A. Crane
Unintended Partnerships, Judson A. Crane
West Virginia Law Review
Infinite variety is possible in the agreements by which persons unite property or services in the hope of gain. As legal problems arise between associates, or between one or all of them and outsiders, the method of solution is to classify the associates as constituting some standard relation, such as partnership, co-owners, or principal and agent, and then to apply the rules of law appropriate to the relation found to exist. As there is a prima facie presumption that persons sharing profits are partners it is often necessary to decide whether or no that relation exists, and in so deciding …

Admiralty - Workmen's Compensation - Is a Hydroplane a Vessel? - Claimant was employed in the care and management of a hydroplane which was moored in navigable waters. The hydroplane began to drag anchor and drift toward the beach, where it was in danger of being wrecked. Claimant waded into the water and was struck by the propeller. Held, claimant is not entitled to compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Law, since a hydroplane while on navigable waters is a vessel, and therefore the jurisdiction of the admiralty excludes that of the State Industrial Commission. Reinhardt v. Newport Flying Service Corp. …

Trust Company In Michigan, Ralph Stone
Trust Company In Michigan, Ralph Stone
Michigan Law Review
A trust company in Michigan is a financial and business institution. It came into being, in this state -as elsewhere, in response to the need for an efficient and business-like organization to administer estates and trusts of all kinds as a relief to the individual executor, administrator and trustee. The ever -increasing complications of business and finance placed a burden upon the individual- the relative, the friend, or the business associate-which he found he could not carry without considerable sacrifice either to his own interests or to those of the trust. Those who create trusts either by will, or private …
Purchase Of Shares Of Corporation By A Director From A Shareholder, Harold R. Smith
Purchase Of Shares Of Corporation By A Director From A Shareholder, Harold R. Smith
Michigan Law Review
As suggested by the title to this paper, a discussion of the relationship between the directors of a corporation and the corporate entity is not within its scope. Neither is the lrelationship between the directors-and the entire body of the shareholders. These two subjects are generally treated in another branch of the law of corporations and generally are not governed by the same rules of law.' The purchase of shares of stock by a director from a nonofficial shareholder naturally brings into question the relationship between the director and the shareholder in his individual capacity, and not in his capacity …

Watered Stock Commissions Blue Sky Laws Stock Without Par Value, William W. Cook
Michigan Law Review
Stockholders' exemption from liability for corporate debts is a modern invention. It was not until 18x1 that New York extended that exemption to stockholders in manufacturing corporations.' Massachusetts did not grant it until 1830.2 England did not allow it to stockholders in business and manufacturing cornpanies until I855. s As President Eliot of Harvard has pointed out, this privilege of limited liability is "the corporation's most precious characteristic."'
