Divergent Views As To Applicability To National Banks Of State Restrictions On Home-City Branching--Walker Bank & Trust Co. V. Saxon; Commercial Security Bank V. Saxon, Michigan Law Review

In addition to the applicant's main office, there were branches of two other banks in the city. The applicant national bank in Commercial Security Bank v. Saxon and the complaining …

Discussion of the novel treatment accorded by New York to the problem of perfecting security interests in corporate …


The Joint And Survivor Account In Michigan-Progress Through Confusion, Richard V. Wellman Feb 1965

The Joint And Survivor Account In Michigan-Progress Through Confusion, Richard V. Wellman

Michigan Law Review

Legal writers have been intrigued for years by the challenge of classifying and identifying the resulting incidents of the joint and survivor bank deposit when an attempt is made to use it as a mode of effectuating a donor depositor's intention to confer benefits on a donee co-depositor. Much in their discussions is useful to one who is concerned with the concept that has evolved in Michigan, where a 1909 statute states that some co-depositors are presumed to be joint tenants. Michigan judges and practitioners must determine, however, whether comment about national trends is applicable here, for in many respects …

Obligations Of A State-Created Authority: Do They Constitute A Debt Of The State, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown Jan 1955

Obligations Of A State-Created Authority: Do They Constitute A Debt Of The State, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown

Michigan Law Review

Although provisions in a number of state constitutions limit the amount of debt a state may incur state legislatures frequently have attempted to circumvent such limitations. Recent decades have seen increased use of the "authority," set up by the legislature to accomplish a particular objective and given power to issue evidences of indebtedness to finance the objective, repayment to come from the revenues of the authority, with the declaration that the obligations of the authority are not those of the state. The enabling legislation has been challenged as unconstitutional, often on the ground that the obligations of the authority are …

Banks And Banking - Public Moneys As Preferred Claims

Michigan Law Review

The State claims a preference in the assets of an insolvent bank on the basis of sovereign prerogative.

Fry, State Treasurer v. Equitable Trust Co., 264 Mich. 165, 249 N. W. 619 (1933). (Potter and McDonald, JJ., dissenting).


Constitutional Law - Bank Reorganization Legislation - Composition With Depositors And Other Creditors, Maurice S. Culp Dec 1933

Constitutional Law - Bank Reorganization Legislation - Composition With Depositors And Other Creditors, Maurice S. Culp

Michigan Law Review

Twenty States and the federal government now have laws permitting the reorganization and reopening of insolvent or failing banks. The usual statute provides for the reorganization of a bank upon some plan approved by a large majority of the general creditors of the institution; the plan must also have the approval of state banking officials and of a court of general jurisdiction, although the last is by no means a universal requirement. The reorganization, when approved, becomes binding upon all depositors and general creditors of the bank regardless of consent. By the terms of a few statutes, non-assenting creditors are …

Banks And Banking - Liability Of Stockholders For Debts In Insolvencies Occurring After Transfer Of Stock, Warren W. Kennerly Jun 1932

Banks And Banking - Liability Of Stockholders For Debts In Insolvencies Occurring After Transfer Of Stock, Warren W. Kennerly

Michigan Law Review

The effect of the holding of the Sanders case is of special interest at the present time because of the large number of recent bank failures. This decision may possibly result in former stockholders of Illinois state banks and the heirs of former stockholders being subjected to an assessment on stock that was disposed of several decades ago. The holding is applicable only to state banks, since national banks are not subject to state regulation. It would not be surprising if this Illinois holding should be followed in Nebraska, since the latter state has already based some of its rulings …

Negotiable Instruments-Carelessness In Making Checks May 1925

Negotiable Instruments-Carelessness In Making Checks

Michigan Law Review

In a recent case the supreme court of Texas held that the drawer of a check could recover from the drawee bank money paid on a check which had been fraudulently altered in amount by the payee even though the drawer was negligent in drawing the check in such a manner as to facilitate the fraudulent alteration.

The court takes the view, though the decision is not based on it, that sec. 124 of the Negotiable Instruments Law which provides that: "Where a negotiable instrument …
