Bankruptcy--Stay Of Bankruptcy Proceedings Denied To Creditor Seeking Lien On Exempt Property--Harris V. Hoffman, Michigan Law Review Jan 1968

Bankruptcy--Stay Of Bankruptcy Proceedings Denied To Creditor Seeking Lien On Exempt Property--Harris V. Hoffman, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The appellants, husband and wife, executed a promissory note to the appellee-bank. Thereafter, they purchased real property which they occupied as a homestead. Acting pursuant to an Iowa statute which subjects a homestead to debts contracted before the homestead was acquired, the bank commenced a suit on the note in state court, but this proceeding was stayed when appellants filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. After the trustee in bankruptcy set the homestead apart as property exempt under Iowa law, the bank sought a stay of discharge in bankruptcy for a reasonable period of time so that it could obtain …

Income Tax--Listing Abandoned Residence For Sale And Not For Rent Considered Sufficient To Convert To "Property Held For The Production Of Income"--Hulet P. Smith, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Since 1941, Hulet Smith and his wife had lived in a large house in Arcadia, California, where Smith had been actively engaged in a real estate loan business. In 1959, Smith decided to retire and move to Pebble Beach, a distance of about 400 miles from Arcadia. He purchased a parcel of land in Pebble Beach and built a large expensive home, with the avowed intention of making this his permanent personal residence. In 1961, after severing all business and social connections in the vicinity of their old residence, Smith and his wife moved into their new home, taking virtually …

Interference With The Public Right Of Navigation And The Riparian Owner's Claim Of Privilege, Sheldon J. Plager Jan 1968

Interference With The Public Right Of Navigation And The Riparian Owner's Claim Of Privilege, Sheldon J. Plager

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Entering a navigable body of water from the upland, and navigating from the point of access to distant points on the same body of water or points on connecting bodies of water, are, for practical purposes, a continua­tion of the same act. Yet they involve significantly different legal concepts and raise significantly different issues. The problems resulting from inter­ference with a riparian owner's right of access to and from his upland are examined in Part I of this article; those involving his right to travel once he has obtained access are the subject of Part II.


The Student As University Resident, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1968

The Student As University Resident, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This examination argues that the position that a student’s rights are determined by whether he lives on or off-campus is unraveled by the institution’s position as a state actor. This article disposes of the notion that the university is equivalent to a landlord in property and contract rights and discusses how this distinction affects students’ rights.

Corporate Securities As "Business Property", Thomas G. Bost Nov 1967

Corporate Securities As "Business Property", Thomas G. Bost

Vanderbilt Law Review

Inadequacies of the statutory definition of "capital asset" have led the courts to develop the concept of "business property," which serves to distinguish everyday business activities from investment activities.This concept is now being applied by courts in a wide variety of factual situations involving corporate securities. However, unless objective, easily ascertainable limits to the "business property" concept are found, confusion and inconsistency may mark the development of future case law. The rules developed by the American Law Institute's Discussion Draft Study of Definitional Problems in Capital Gains Taxation appear to provide these objective limits. Because they are consistent with the …


Public Control Of Land Subdivision In Michigan: Description And Critique, Roger A. Cunningham Nov 1967

Public Control Of Land Subdivision In Michigan: Description And Critique, Roger A. Cunningham

Michigan Law Review

Michigan seems to be unique in having three separate subdivision control statutes. The Plat Act of 1929, like the Subdivision Control Act of 1967 which will soon replace it, is largely mandatory, prescribing standards and procedures required in all cases of land subdivision (as defined in the statute), whether the municipality in which the land is located has a planning commission or not. The Municipal Planning Act, on the other hand, is simply an enabling act, permissive both with respect to establishment of a planning commission and with respect to the exercise by that commission, once established, of the power …

The Law Of Municipal Annexation In Georgia: Evolution Of A Concept?, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Sep 1967

The Law Of Municipal Annexation In Georgia: Evolution Of A Concept?, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

The time has come to think seriously and in detail about municipal annexation. The effort here, then, represents a return to basics. The justification for it rests on the point that Georgia does indeed possess a rich history in annexation law. What of this history? How has it dictated the law's development? What are the methods of annexation presently available to municipalities in Georgia? Upon what authority are these methods bottomed, and what are the possible limitation upon their effectiveness? Is the point at which the law has now arrived the culmination of evolving a deliberate concept or simply the …


The Case Of The Unwary Home Buyer: The Housing Merchant Did It, E. F. Roberts Jul 1967

The Case Of The Unwary Home Buyer: The Housing Merchant Did It, E. F. Roberts

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The author points up the decline of caveat emptor as a viable doctrine governing the sale of new homes and analyzes the emergence of implied warranty as a remedy for both structural deficiencies and personal injuries. He argues that the concept of implied warranty tends to obfuscate real distinctions between the builder-vendor’s responsibility for the material integrity of a new home and for personal injuries occasioned by defects therein, concluding that legislation is needed to reestablish a system of order in the law.


Gifts-Lnformal Writing As Substitute For Delivery, Michigan Law Review Jun 1967

Gifts-Lnformal Writing As Substitute For Delivery, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Traditionally, three requirements must be satisfied in order to make a valid inter vivos gift of personal property: (1) the donor must demonstrate his intention to make such a gift; (2) there must be a delivery to the donee of the property itself or of an instrument or deed of gift; and (3) the donee must accept this delivery. If the subject matter of the gift is not susceptible of immediate delivery, a question arises as to the means by which the delivery requirement may be satisfied. Although a donor in such a situation commonly delivers an informal writing which …

Compensation For Highway Easements Over School Trust Lands, Anon Apr 1967

Compensation For Highway Easements Over School Trust Lands, Anon

Washington Law Review

The western territories of the United States were admitted to statehood by congressional enabling acts which specified that four sections of every township be held in trust by the respective states for support of public schools. Each of these enabling acts contains similar procedures for disposition of the trust lands and requires that the resulting revenues be held in trust subject to the same restrictions that apply to the land. Trust lands comprise a large area in each of the western states. Prior to the principal case the state courts were divided on the proper procedures for acquisition and compensation …

Security Aspects Of The Abc Transaction, John T. Schmidt Apr 1967

Security Aspects Of The Abc Transaction, John T. Schmidt

Michigan Law Review

In recent years, investments in subterraneous oil and gas have become a common addition to the investment portfolios of national financial institutions. Relying on the assurances of reputable geological studies, traditionally conservative financers have invested amounts ranging up to several hundred million dollars against collateral once accepted only by speculators and a few adventurous oil-country bankers. The increased interest in these investments is in part attributable to the development of the ABC method of financing the purchase of producing oil and gas properties. This method offers unique tax advantages, which have been discussed elsewhere, but also creates problems for the …
