West Virginia Corporate Law: Is It "Broke"?, Debra R. Cohen

Journal Articles

We are all familiar with the cliche "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The sentiment is as applicable to law as it is to the rest of life. When a law does what it is intended to do, legislators and courts should leave it alone. However, when a law no longer serves its intended purpose, it is "broke," and should be revised.

Corporations-Dissolution-Power Of Chancellor To Decree Dissolution When Deadlock Exists, John J. Edman S. Ed. Dec 1951

Corporations-Dissolution-Power Of Chancellor To Decree Dissolution When Deadlock Exists, John J. Edman S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs sought dissolution of defendant corporation pursuant to a statute allowing a petition for dissolution to be made to the chancellor by the holders of one-half of the voting stock upon a deadlock in management and voting shares. The evidence showed that there was no chance of compromise by the warring factions, that the corporate function could not be carried out, and that the plaintiffs' interests might be jeopardized. The chancellor held that unless a harmonious solution was effectively formulated within fifteen days after the filing of an opinion, a judgment containing appropriate provisions for a dissolution would be entered. …

The Uniform Partnership Act And Its Effect Upon The West Virginia Decisions And Statutes, J. R. Trotter

West Virginia Law Review
