Attempted Acceptance Of A Deceased Offeror's Offer, James L. Parks Dec 1928

Attempted Acceptance Of A Deceased Offeror's Offer, James L. Parks

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

Occasionally an offeree will attempt to accept an offer within its life as originally stated, but the act which he regards as an acceptance, and which usually would have been effective as such, is done after the death of his offeror. On this state of facts courts in the past have generally held that no contract could result from the offerce's efforts. The rule was to the effect that the offeror's death terminated his offer and his offeree's legal power to bind his estate to the bargain originally proffered. The reasons assigned to support this proposition are that every contract …

Life Tenant And Remainderman-Income From Corporate Shares In Trust-Extraordinary Cash Or Stock Dividends Mar 1928

Life Tenant And Remainderman-Income From Corporate Shares In Trust-Extraordinary Cash Or Stock Dividends

Michigan Law Review

A testator devises a block of corporate shares in trust,--the income to go to a life tenant for life, remainder to another as remainderman. So long as dividends are paid regularly, and in cash, distribution is a simple matter for the trustee. Dividends declared after the testator's death and before the death of the life tenant, are income and go to the life tenant; the rule operates regardless of when the profits which justify the declared dividends were earned. A real problem arises, however, when the corporation allows a surplus to accumulate for some time and then declares an extraordinary …

The Influence Of Control In The Determination Of Partnership Liability, Scott Rowley Jan 1928

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 …
