Constitutional Law - Schools And School Districts - Teachers' Tenure Legislation, Bertram H. Lebeis

Michigan Law Review

Although the question of security of employment for public school teachers was discussed as far back as the year 1885, when tenure was interpreted to mean the application of civil service principles to the teaching profession, the organized teacher tenure movement is of comparatively recent origin. From within the profession itself impetus was given to the movement by continuous campaigns carried on by local, state and national teachers' associations. From without, the growth of the movement was facilitated by a wider recognition of the evils attendant upon the unlimited power of school boards to "hire and fire" their employees at …

"Extra Time For Overtime" Now Law, Frank E. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 presents a great many legal and practical problems of importance commensurate with the comprehensiveness of the act itself, which is probably the most far-reaching of the New Deal statutes since the N. R. A. The act is conceived on the theory that any physical handling of goods destined to be subsequently shipped to another state is an act so closely and substantially related to the flow of interstate commerce as to be subject to Congressional regulation, and thus depends for its validity upon an extension of the theories approved in the Wagner Act …

Securities Legislation - Securities Act Of 1933 - Registration Statement - "Material Contract'', Gerald M. Stevens

Michigan Law Review

A registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 had borrowed from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation $200,000, payment of which was secured by mortgage of most of the debtor's assets. Registrant still owed $136,000 overdue when it filed its amended registration statement. It said therein that it had applied to the RFC for an eighteen-months extension of the debt and that the application had not then been acted upon. After the statement was filed but before it became effective, the RFC denied registrant extension of the debt and made a counter proposal for payment in part and extension in part. In …

Corporations - Interpretation Of The "Public Offering" Exemption Of The Federal Securities Act And State Blue-Sky Laws, Gerald L. Stoetzer

Michigan Law Review

Section 5 of the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, declares that it shall be unlawful to use any means of transportation or communication in interstate commerce or of the mails to dispose of securities or transmit a prospectus thereon unless a registration statement as required by the act is in effect and unless the prospectus meets the statutory requirements. However, certain securities and transactions are expressly exempted from application of the act. Among the exemptions set out in section 4 are those "transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering."

Judgments - Declaratory Judgments - Scope Of The Federal Act, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

After the insured had made formal claims for total disability benefits for four years without bringing action to enforce them, the insurer, having at all times denied the total disability of the insured, brought suit in a federal district court for a declaration that it was not liable for the benefits claimed and that the policies had lapsed for non-payment of premiums. The district court granted a motion to dismiss because the insurer failed to present a "controversy" within the Federal Constitution and the Declaratory Judgments Act and because the insurer had no "rights or other legal relations" to be …

Judgments - Federal Declaratory Judgments Act, Charles R. Moon Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Underlying the declaratory judgment is the idea that in an organized and civilized society where law and order are thoroughly recognized and established, coercion is normally unnecessary to settle legal disputes between parties. The belief is that in many lawsuits the plaintiff is not seeking a means of coercing the defendant but that the plaintiff and the defendant merely want a final and conclusive decision of a disputed question on which their legal relations depend. The value of the declaratory judgment lies in that it may be used to settle this dispute, in many cases before any other form of …

Corporations - Alteration Of Charter Under Reserved Power - Change In Remedy To Enforce Stockholders' Liability, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The constitution of Maryland of I 867 provided that owners of bank stock should be liable for debts of the corporation to an extent equal to the value of the stock owned by them. The bank in which the defendants owned stock was organized under legislation of 1870 containing the provision, "this act and every part of it may be altered from time to time, or repealed by the legislature." The Maryland court held that, while the constitution provided no remedy, the right was conferred on each creditor in his individual capacity to be enforced by separate suits against those …

Constitutional Law-Due Process -Fair Trade Acts, Milton Rabinowitz

Michigan Law Review

The New York "Fair Trade Act" proclaims price maintenance agreements subservient to the public policy of the state, and renders price cutting by any merchant with knowledge of such an agreement, even though not a party thereto, actionable as unfair competition at the suit of anyone injured thereby. In Doubleday, Doran & Co. v. Macy & Co., the New York court had condemned the enactment as violating the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Subsequently, the United States Supreme Court, in Old Dearborn Distributing Co. v. Seagram-Distiller Corp., decided the contrary as to the validity of a …

Courts Rule - Making Power, Peter S. Boter

Michigan Law Review

A statute of the State of New Mexico delegated to the supreme court of the state the power to promulgate rules regulating pleading, practice, and procedure in judicial proceedings for the purpose of simplifying the same and for the promotion of the speedy determination of litigation upon the merits. The act further provides that all statutes relating to pleading and practice now in force shall have effect only as rules of court and remain in effect as such unless modified or suspended by rules promulgated pursuant to this Act. Held, that the rule-making power can constitutionally be delegated to …

Constitutional Law - Impairment Of Contracts - Legislative Regulation Of Deficiency Judgments, Donald H. Larmee

Michigan Law Review

A North Carolina statute provided that when a mortagee purchases property at his own sale conducted under a power of sale, and then brings action for the deficiency, the debtor may as a matter of defense show that the true value of the property at the time and place of sale exceeded the sale price and thus defeat the deficiency claim in whole or in part. In a recent case the plaintiff, mortagee of an $8,000 mortgage, conducted a sale according to law and bought the land for $3,000. On the plaintiff's subsequent action for the deficiency the defendant pleaded …

The Patman Act In Practice, Blackwell Smith

Michigan Law Review

A recent act of Congress directed against price discrimination and related phases of buying and selling has already become famous as the Robinson-Patman Act, so named for its two principal sponsors in Congress. This act has been much written about, and yet those whose law practice confronts them with daily problems in its application to the actuality of the business world find daily new aspects. The act has something to say with reference to every business transaction (in or related sufficiently to interstate commerce) which involves a price or a service or a facility in connection with the sale of …

The Problem Of Transfers Under Bulk Sales Laws: A Study Of Absolute Transfers And Liquidating Trusts, Thomas Clifford Billig, William L. Branch Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Although the first bulk sales law in the United States was enacted more than forty years ago, the host of decisions still emanating from the courts bears ample witness to the fact that this field of legal learning remains remarkably fertile. For the first decade following the original Louisiana Bulk Sales Act of 1894 the several state legislatures were busily engaged in passing statutes of similar import. During the next three decades the courts became as fully occupied as had been the legislatures in determining precisely what the legislatures meant by the language employed in the several acts. This process …

The Proposed United States Administrative Court, Part Ii, Robert M. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

The recent movement for the passage of the Logan bill and the establishment of supervisory tribunals for the control of administrative determinations is the result of several preconceived theories concerning the shortcomings of the present system of administrative justice. These underlying theories, cautiously surrounded by a halo of judicial philosophy, have seldom been analyzed in their relation to the development of a sound policy for the administration of governmental functions. The present installment of this article will be devoted first to an examination of these fundamental theories and a consideration of the question how far the present administrative machinery is …
