Constitutional Law - New Deal Legislation - Gold Hoarding Statute
Michigan Law Review
Two cases involving acts of Congress passed in March 1933 to prevent the hoarding of gold' were denied a review by the United States Supreme Court on October 8. Both of these cases involved the same facts. Plaintiff had delivered certain gold bars to a bank for safe-keeping. Later the bank notified him that, pursuant to an executive order by the President of the United States, it would have to surrender the gold. Immediately the plaintiff demanded the return of the bullion, which demand was refused, and he filed bills for specific performance of the bailment contract against the bank …

The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934, John E. Tracy, Alfred Brunson Macchesney
Michigan Law Review
The Congress has enacted and the President has just signed an act for the regulation of stock exchanges, to be known as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In order that we may understand the nature of the Act and the reasons for its enactment, it will be well first to consider briefly the organization and functions of stock exchanges, the evils that are claimed to have arisen from their existence, and some of the previous attempts which have been made to prevent the occurrence of such evils.

The Grant Of Rule-Making Power To The Supreme Court Of The United States, Edson R. Sunderland
Michigan Law Review
The determined effort on the part of the American Bar Association, which continued without relaxation for almost a quarter of a century, to place the regulation of federal trial court procedure in law actions under the control of the Supreme Court of the United States, has at last been successful. Senate Bill No. 3040, granting full rulemaking power to the Supreme Court, became a law on June 19, 1934.

The changes affect the definition section, the exemptions, the prospectus, the civil liabilities, and administration provisions.
Federal Housing And Home Loan Legislation And Its Consequences, Ernest M. Fisher
Federal Housing And Home Loan Legislation And Its Consequences, Ernest M. Fisher
Michigan Law Review
The laissez-faire policy characteristic of both federal and state policy prior to 1932 in connection with housing was first departed from in a provision in the "Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932," passed by the 72nd Congress just before adjournment in July. This provision authorized the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to "make loans to corporations, formed wholly for the purpose of providing housing for families of low incomes, or for reconstruction of slum areas, which are regulated by state or municipal law as to rents, charges, capital structure, rate of return, and areas and methods of operation, to aid in …
The Securities Act Of 1933, Laylin K. James
The Securities Act Of 1933, Laylin K. James
Michigan Law Review
In 1907 a Pennsylvania superior court stated in one of its opinions that, "'there is no reason why a man should not be a fool.' As a corollary to that saying, it may be added that there is no reason why a court should protect a fool against the result of his folly. No new feature of rapacity in the buyer is apparent in this instance [ the purchase of property worth $ 5,000 prospectively for $ 500] to make him a worse offender against the law of fair dealing than an army of Shy locks who have preceded him. …
Constitutional Law - Moratory Legislation
Constitutional Law - Moratory Legislation
Michigan Law Review
A Minnesota statute, in view of the economic emergency, provided, among other things, that courts might, upon petition of a mortgagor, extend the period of redemption from mortgage foreclosure sales for a definite time not beyond May 1, 1935. If a court took such action, the mortgagor was to remain in possession of the premises and pay a reasonable rental to the mortgagee. Held, by the United States Supreme Court in a five-to-four decision, that this statute did not violate the contracts, or due process, or equal protection clauses of the Constitution. Home Building and Loan Association v. Blaisdell …
