Re Sefel Geophysical Ltd.: A Canadian Approach To Some Specific Problems In The Adjudication Of International Insolvencies, Sarah K. Harding

Dalhousie Law Journal

The collapse of a corporation which carries on business and trade on an international scale, usually spawns an array of legal disputes and presents some unique problems in the conflict of laws.1 Unlike a private commercial contractual dispute in which the competing interests are primarily, although rarely solely, defined by the parties themselves, bankruptcy law is infused with an element of public policy.

The decision by the Board of Editors of the Mississippi College Law Review to publish a bankruptcy symposium issue is a timely one. In the boardrooms of American businesses and the kitchens of American families, more and more people are talking about bankruptcy; more and more people are deciding to file bankruptcy petitions. This increase in bankruptcy filings is in part attributable to world, national, and local economic changes, in part attributable to changes in business and society and in business and societal values, in part attributable to changes in the bankruptcy law.


Bankruptcy As An Alternative To The Statute Of Limitations For Relief From Overdue Income Taxes, Harold E. Wolfe Jr. Jan 1989

Bankruptcy As An Alternative To The Statute Of Limitations For Relief From Overdue Income Taxes, Harold E. Wolfe Jr.

Akron Tax Journal

This article analyzes the situations in which a bankruptcy filing could be used as an alternative to the expiration of the statute of limitations on collections and sets forth various considerations that should be reviewed by the practitioner prior to a bankruptcy filing. Practitioners are cautioned that there are many collateral consequences resulting from a taxpayer's bankruptcy petition filing and each case must be analyzed carefully in light of the interplay of the Bankruptcy Code, the Internal Revenue Code and the sparse case law available in this area.

The Malformed Mouse Meets The Libr: Secured And Restitutionary Claims To Commingled Funds, Harold R. Weinberg Jan 1989

The Malformed Mouse Meets The Libr: Secured And Restitutionary Claims To Commingled Funds, Harold R. Weinberg

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The "malformed mouse" is section 9-306(4)(d) of the Uniform Commercial Code. It provides a formula that determines the extent to which an insolvent debtor's commingled bank account contains funds subject to a security interest. A special entitlement is necessary because it is impossible to physically distinguish this collateral after commingling. The label malformed mouse is appropriate if one agrees with critics who have questioned the mouse's statutory architecture and underlying rationale. The image of an elusive creature is also apt. The mouse continues to elude understanding, although it has been part of the Code for many years and the subject …
