The Role Of The Black Market In China's International Financial System, Amy E. Yates

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The dichotomy between China's political theory and its administrative reality is nowhere more apparent than in the system China has developed to manage the inflow of foreign reserves into the country. In order to avoid disturbing the domestic economy, the government developed an elaborate two-tiered currency system. In addition, the government issued a set of Foreign Control Regulations which placed restrictions on the use of exchange. The regulations purported to place the use of foreign exchange under a "unified national plan." In reality, however, beyond the reaches of the officially promulgated regulations, a thriving black market for foreign currency, foreign …

Limitations On Creditors' Rights To Require Spouses' Signatures Under The Ecoa And Washington Community Property Law, Todd M. Johnson

Seattle University Law Review

This article examines the federal regulations' interaction with Washington community property law to determine when a creditor can require the signature of a Washington applicant's spouse on either a loan instrument or security agreement in five common situations: (1) a married applicant's request for credit secured by community property, (2) a married applicant's request for credit secured by separate property, (3) a married applicant's request for general unsecured credit, (4) a married applicant's request for unsecured credit in specific reliance upon his or her income flow, and (5) a married applicant's request for unsecured credit in specific reliance upon the …

The Establishment Of Foreign Bank Agencies And Branches In New York, Clifford D. Harmon

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In recent years foreign banking associations have played an increasingly important role in the United States money market. While foreign banks have been operating in the United States since the 1870's, no substantial foreign banking existed in this country until the early 1970's. Since that time, however, there has been rapid expansion, and by 1978 there were 210 foreign bank facilities controlling $66 billion in assets in the United States. Most of this activity is confined to New York, Illinois, and California.

New York alone accounts for three quarters of all foreign bank assets in this country. Although this concentration …

Efts: Consumer Protection Under The Ucc, Susan E. Jinnett

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In view of the economic significance of the payments system, the laws governing it must be equitable and comprehensive. The development of the commercial law applicable to EFTS's, however, currently lags behind the growth of these systems. Threats to the integrity of EFTS's stem from lost, stolen, or forged access cards, illegal taps into communication lines, physical impairment of the equipment, or improper programming. The legal rights and liabilities of consumers where the integrity of an EFTS has been breached remains unclear, in part because the status of EFTS's under current law is uncertain. The rights of the parties involved …

Equal Credit Opportunity Act Amendments Of 1976, Judith B. Henry

University of Richmond Law Review

It would be difficult to exaggerate the role of credit in today's society. But for the availability of credit, it would be impossible for most Americans to obtain an education, purchase a car, own a home, or start a business. Because of the increasing popularity of credit cards, credit is relied on daily in consumer transactions. Yet a number of persons have been unable to obtain credit, not because of an inability to repay, but because of their membership in a particular class.

Checks Lost In The Collection Process, James J. White

Other Publications

Given the millions of checks that are transferred among banks every year, the opportunity for loss and misplacement of such checks is enormous and the liabilities associated with such loss can be significant. This section deals with the collecting bank's liability for the check's loss before it is delivered to payer bank. If the payer bank receives and then loses the check, it will be subject to a different set of liabilities; those liabilities will be discussed elsewhere in the program.

Blocking Payment On A Certified, Cashier's, Or Bank Check, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

When disputes arise between buyers and sellers over completed commercial transactions and payment has been delivered to the seller in the form of a negotiable instrument, a dissatisfied buyer may seek to suspend the instrument's payment obligation. By blocking payment the buyer strengthens his bargaining position and prevents the seller from dissipating the proceeds of the sale before the buyer can establish the merit of his claim. Blocking payment forces the seller to enforce the commercial agreement through court action or satisfy the buyer's grievances.

What Ever Happened To The "Checkless Society"?, Isaiah Baker

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In the late 1960's and early 1970's, a proliferation of articles in law reviews and other scholarly journals predicted a fundamental change in the payments systems in the United States. The "checkless society" was hailed as the coming thing-the latest and best innovation to come along in the vast areas of law covered by the Uniform Commercial Code provisions governing commercial paper and bank collections. Despite the claims that present technology is capable of effecting basic alterations in the existing check collection and payment systems, changes have been slow to come and are coming with deliberate speed rather than the …

Usury—Installment Sales Contracts: Limitation Of The Scope Of The Time Price Doctrine—National Bank Of Commerce Of Seattle V. Thomsen, 80 Wn.2d 406, 495 P.2d 332 (1972), P. A. H.

Washington Law Review

In 1965 Greg Thomsen entered into an agreement with Carter Motors for the purchase of an automobile. In addition to signing a purchase order, Thomsen executed a conditional sales contract which provided that payments were to be made to the National Bank of Commerce (NBC) and showed a time price differential of $242.15, the equivalent of a 14.61 percent annual finance charge. A Carter Motors salesman had requested that Thomsen finance the purchase through NBC, which had supplied the contract form and other documents used in the transaction. Carter Motors immediately assigned the contract to NBC pursuant to a financing …

Consumer Credit--The Department Store Revolving Charge Account--Usury Resurrected--State V. J.C. Penney Company, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Attorney General of Wisconsin recently brought an action against the J.C. Penney retailing chain for an injunction against any further charges of 1½% per month on the declining balances of its revolving charge accounts. The state alleged that anything in excess of I% per month was a violation of the $12 per $100 per annum usury ceiling established by its legislature as the maximum chargeable for a loan or forbearance of money. Penney admitted that its monthly charge frequently exceeded the allowable rate but argued that its charge was a "time-price differential," exempt from statutory control under the time-price …

Consumer Sensitivity To Interest Rates: An Empirical Study Of New Car Buyers And Auto Loans, James J. White, Frank W. Munger Jr.

Articles

ALTHOUGH it has never been clear whether the consumer needs to be protected from his own folly or from the rapaciousness of those who feed on him, consumer protection is a topic of intense current interest in the courts, in the legislatures, and in the law schools. A number of recent court decisions have attempted to attack problems confronting the consumer; unfortunately, these judicial efforts have succeeded primarily in disclosing the limitations in the courts' ability to deal with such problems. State and federal legislative bodies have pursued more carefully designed remedies. Congress has passed the Truth-in-Lending Act; the National …
