Of Hotel Revenues, Rents, And Formalism In The Bankruptcy Courts: Implications For Reforming Commercial Real Estate Finance, R. Wilson Freyermuth
Of Hotel Revenues, Rents, And Formalism In The Bankruptcy Courts: Implications For Reforming Commercial Real Estate Finance, R. Wilson Freyermuth
Faculty Publications
This article is intended to continue the dialogue begun by the proposed Restatement and has two distinct goals in this effort. Parts I through III argue that the position of the Restatement drafters is both legally and functionally sound and that bankruptcy courts should embrace and apply the proposed Restatement in administering distressed real estate developments. Part I reviews the reasoning articulated in the hotel bankruptcy cases, demonstrating how courts have applied the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and state law in a formalistic manner to extinguish the hotel mortgagee's lien upon postpetition room revenues. Part II rejects the analysis …

The Social Origins Of Property, Jack M. Beermann, Joseph William Singer
The Social Origins Of Property, Jack M. Beermann, Joseph William Singer

The takings clause of the United States Constitution requires government to pay compensation when private property is taken for public use.' When government regulates, but does not physically seize, property, the Supreme Court of the United States has had trouble defining when individuals have been deprived of property rights so as to give them a right to compensation. The takings clause serves "to bar Government from forcing some people alone to bear public burdens that, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole."' To determine when a regulation amounts to a "taking" of property …

Pensions And Passivity, Gregory S. Alexander
Pensions And Passivity, Gregory S. Alexander
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This article discusses how modem fiduciary law has extended equity's tradition of constructing ownership as passive through the corporate pension system. It examines how the corporate pension system as a mode of owning pooled capital is a new stage of passive ownership. This stage creates a different aspect of the familiar problem of separating control from beneficial ownership. Berle and Means argued that the problem that the separation of control from ownership created was economic. The interests of managers and shareholders in the modern corporation diverge, and, they argued, this divergence diminishes the overall efficiency of the modern economy, dominated …
Mortgage Prepayment Clauses: An Economic And Legal Analysis, Dale A. Whitman
Mortgage Prepayment Clauses: An Economic And Legal Analysis, Dale A. Whitman
Faculty Publications
Most mortgages on income-producing real estate (as distinct from owner-occupied housing) contain clauses restricting early payment of the loan. These clauses are highly controversial, and borrowers often resist their enforcement. While other writers have discussed prepayment clauses in the recent legal literature, my objectives in this article are to advance this discussion in three respects: first, to provide an economic perspective on mortgage prepayment as support for a set of legal recommendations; second, to consider whether the bankruptcy of the mortgagor should affect enforceability of a prepayment fee clause; and third, to analyze the cumulative effect of the presence in …
Reverse Mortgages: A Financial Planning Device For The Elderly, 1 Elder L.J. 75 (1993), Celeste M. Hammond
Reverse Mortgages: A Financial Planning Device For The Elderly, 1 Elder L.J. 75 (1993), Celeste M. Hammond
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
An analysis of the merits of reverse mortgages from individual and public policy perspectives is the subject of Professor Hammond's article. She argues that the elderly's typical "house rich, but cash poor" problem warrants approval of a method which allows the elderly to tap their home equity for income purposes while allowing them to remain in their homes. Professor Hammond analyzes other means for tapping equity and finds each lacking in its ability to accomplish the stated goal. She also describes the three types of reverse mortgages currently available. Finally, Professor Hammond sets forth a list of legal issues that …
Evolving Thresholds Of Nuisance And The Takings Clause, John A. Humbach
Evolving Thresholds Of Nuisance And The Takings Clause, John A. Humbach
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article reviews the historical tradition in which the common law core of nuisance has been the frequent subject of statutory additions and refinements, providing most of our modern law of land use and environmental protection. Until Lucas, the Takings Clause had not been treated as a charter establishing the courts as boards of revision to rethink and selectively veto legislative determinations in the land use field. Within the scope of “total takings,” however, Lucas has converted the Takings Clause from its original meaning and made it exactly that.
Wild Dunes And Serbonian Bogs: The Impact Of The Lucas Decision On Shoreline Protection Programs, Richard C. Ausness
Wild Dunes And Serbonian Bogs: The Impact Of The Lucas Decision On Shoreline Protection Programs, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, the United Supreme Court was forced once again to delve into the law of regulatory takings. This experience is seldom a pleasant one. Echoing the poet John Milton, an exasperated state court judge once described takings law as a “Serbonian Bog.” Unfortunately, the takings doctrine is only slightly more comprehensible after the Lucas decision than it was before. Nevertheless, progress in this area, however modest, deserves praise, and the Court is to be commended for clarifying one aspect of takings jurisprudence. As a result of Lucas a “categorical rule” has been announced …
Thinking Property At Rome, Alan Watson
Thinking Property At Rome, Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
It is a commonplace among writers on slavery that there is an inherent contradiction or a necessary confusion in regarding slaves as both human beings and things. In law there is no such contradiction or confusion. Slaves are both property and human beings. Their humanity is not denied but (in general) they are refused legal personality, a very different matter.
Things as property may be classed in various ways, and the classification may then have an impact on owners' rights and duties. A thing may be corporeal or incorporeal, immoveable or moveable. Some moveables may be classed as res se …

In this Article the author provides an introduction to the problems associated with assignments of rents by discussing the nature of rents and their treatment in the absence of an assignment. Next, the author will examine in detail the issues arising with regard to assignments of rents under current law both in and outside of the bankruptcy context. Finally, the author will discuss the proposal that rents be integrated into Article 9 of the UCC.
"Taking" The Imperial Judiciary Seriously: Segmenting Property Interests And Judicial Revision Of Legislative Judgments, John A. Humbach
"Taking" The Imperial Judiciary Seriously: Segmenting Property Interests And Judicial Revision Of Legislative Judgments, John A. Humbach
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article examines the diversion of the Takings Clause from its historic limited role to that of a charter for courts to second-guess legislative determinations of land-use rights and wrongs. As we shall see, prior to Lucas the Supreme Court and others following its lead have generally not regarded the Takings Clause as a warrant for reaching de novo determinations on land use problems and then substituting such judicial determinations, if different, for those of the legislature. Some notable exceptions in the Claims Court and Federal Circuit will then be considered along with the ostensible Supreme Court authority, a sentence …
Reclaiming The Public Domain By Repeal Of The Mining Law Of 1872, Shelby D. Green
Reclaiming The Public Domain By Repeal Of The Mining Law Of 1872, Shelby D. Green
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This paper offers an analysis of the new allocation of burdens and benefits in the use of public lands as contemplated by the proposed legislation. In Part III, I discuss the acquisition of property rights under the General Mining Law of 1872. In Part IV, the theory of property in general is explained along with the types and nature of property interests inhering in, and arising from, a mining claim. I explain the recent efforts in Congress to reform the mining law in Part V and the concept of a taking of property in general in Part VI. I discuss …
