Purchaser's Depreciation Rights In Property Subject To A Lease, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that the purchase of property subject to a lease may produce several types of depreciable interests. Part I of the Note examines the requirements for depreciability and the role that depreciation plays in tax law. It concludes that even where the method set out by Congress also accommodates other goals, depreciation primarily provides a way to recover costs during a depreciable asset's income-producing life. Part II applies these principles to the task of determining whether improvements - for example, buildings on the property subject to the lease - are depreciable in the purchaser's hands.

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Article will attempt to show that, despite much scholarly disparagement of the traditional "prompt, adequate and effective" standard of compensation for expropriation, when put to the test of deciding actual cases through arbitration, international law produces results not dissimilar from what might be expected under the standard. The Article compares the law of damages in international arbitration with United States domestic law and points out their similarities.

New York City Zoning Resolution Section 12-10: A Third Phase In The Evolution Of Airspace Law, Terence Kennedy

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Originally, airspace was considered to be a form of land inseparable from the soil owned by the surface landowner. Over time, however, the law has allowed airspace to be severed from the soil, enabling the surface landowner to alienate the airspace while retaining title to the soil. New York City Zoning Resolution section 12-10 has advanced this modern notion by limiting buildable floorspace and permitting transfer of airspace. This Note details the history and uses of airspace, and proposes that the amended section of 12-10 both modernizes our stationary concept of real property and establishes airspace property interests as being …
