Corporations - Parent's Liability For Subsidiary's Obligations, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

A parent corporation owned all the stock of a subsidiary which it had organized to hold real estate, its own business being mercantile. The directors and officers of both corporations were identical. The subsidiary sublet premises for ninety-nine years, in turn leasing them to the parent for ten years. Improvements were made in accordance with the subsidiary's contract, and "leasehold trust certificates" were issued by an assignee of the underlying lease.

Michigan Law Review

The United States Government condemned certain lands of the petitioners on the island of Oahu for a federal public purpose.

They further offered to prove that on other lands owned by them a water source was available from which water …

Election Of Remedies - Deficiency Decree As Bar To Subsequent Suit On Debt, Donald H. Larmee

Michigan Law Review

After foreclosure in Florida of a purchase money mortgage on Florida land, the mortgagee filed a claim for the deficiency against the estate of one of the co-mortgagors, who was a permanent resident of Michigan, and who had been served only by publication in the foreclosure suit. In the foreclosure proceedings the mortgagee had prayed for a deficiency decree, and the Florida court had retained jurisdiction for that purpose, after ordering the sale. The mortgagee had taken no further steps in that proceeding. Held, the Florida law was controlling, and that by Florida statutes, as construed by the courts …

Taxation - Exemptions - Municipally-Owned Property

Michigan Law Review

In settlement for collateral notes given to secure its deposits in a bank which became insolvent, a municipality had conveyed to it an office building, located in a county other than the one in which said municipality was situated. The city thereafter rented the offices to tenants operating private businesses. The county in which the building was located subjected it to an ad valorem tax. Contesting the right to its collection, the city failed to pay the assessed taxes, for a period of four years. Held, the property, although municipally-owned, not being held or used for any governmental or …

Constitutional Law - Race Segregation Ordinance - Effect Of Military Order Of Governor Issued For Same Purpose

Michigan Law Review

A "segregation ordinance" of Oklahoma City, prospective in nature, made it unlawful for any negro to occupy as a residence any house or building located in a block wherein a majority of the buildings used were occupied by white persons. The initial step in the segregation of races in the city occurred when the Governor issued a military order for the separation of the races, because it appeared that riot and bloodshed were imminent; such order to remain in effect until an ordinance was passed in lieu of the order. Held, the ordinance was an invalid exercise of the …

Future Interests-Remainder To A Class As A Vested Remainder

Michigan Law Review

Testator left to his daughter certain real estate "as her sole and separate property during her natural life and at her death to her children absolutely." One of the children mortgaged his interest in the remainder to plaintiff and died, the life tenant surviving him; and thereafter the plaintiff brought suit for foreclosure. Held, this was a remainder to uncertain persons which did not vest in anyone during the life of the life tenant; and therefore the mortgage was a nullity. Deener v. Watkins, 191 Ark. 776, 87 S. W. (2d) 994 (1935).

Simes On Future Interests, Charles C. White Apr 1936

Simes On Future Interests, Charles C. White

Michigan Law Review

It is encouraging that the law teachers are turning their talents to the writing of treatises. Recent examples are Professor Bogert's monumental work on Trusts and Professor Griswold's volume on Spendthrift Trusts. And now comes this comprehensive work on Future Interests, about which little has heretofore been written with an especial appeal to the average practitioner. Too much of the law teacher's energy has. gone into editing case books and writing law review articles. And case books and law review articles are not read by lawyers in general.

Specific Performance--Damages--Action At Law By Vendor Of Land For The Full Purchase Price Feb 1936

Specific Performance--Damages--Action At Law By Vendor Of Land For The Full Purchase Price

Michigan Law Review

In an action at law by a vendor of land for breach of contract by the purchaser, the title not having passed, the traditional measure of damages is the difference between the contract price and the value of the land at the time the vendor's conveyance was due. But where a conveyance is not yet due from the vendor a majority of jurisdictions allow recovery of all but the last installment of the purchase money, on the ground that in that case the promise to pay is independent of the vendor's promise to convey. Even where a conveyance is due …

Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute Jan 1936

Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute

Michigan Law Review

As upon certiorari, the New Mexico Supreme Court considered the question, whether it is "within legislative competence to declare a public use in the industry of coal mining, so as to permit taking private property in aid of it." Plaintiff had obtained a judgment of condemnation, and defendant attacked it as offensive to the New Mexico constitutional provision: "Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation." The opinion recognized the existence of an "orthodox" and a "liberal" doctrine of construing "public use." While the court found that, unlike Nevada's or Utah's, New Mexico's well-being …
