Contracts-Fraud-Rescission For Non-Disclosure Of Insolvency, Sheridan Morgan
Contracts-Fraud-Rescission For Non-Disclosure Of Insolvency, Sheridan Morgan
Michigan Law Review
Modern decisions have provided an important device for the protection of creditors through extension of the duty of disclosure by persons in extreme financial distress. The remedy chiefly used is rescission, which can be secured on the ground of "fraud," with restitution of property transferred in ignorance of the purchaser's distressed condition. The "fraud" need not consist of express misrepresentation of fact, though express misrepresentation often appears as an independent ground leading to the same result. The commercial importance of the remedies thus developed seems to justify consideration both of their practical consequences and of the theories on which relief …

Evasion Of Mortgage Moratoria By Prosecution Of Personal Remedies, Gordon B. Wheeler, Edgar N. Durfee
Evasion Of Mortgage Moratoria By Prosecution Of Personal Remedies, Gordon B. Wheeler, Edgar N. Durfee
Michigan Law Review
For reasons political, social and economic which have never been fully analyzed, the moratory legislation of the last five years has shown special favor to the debtor whose obligation is secured by mortgage of land, and this legislation is faintly echoed in moratory decisions which have no direct statutory foundation. Granted that contracts have sometimes received similar treatment, that banks and insurance companies have also enjoyed indulgence, and that the new chapters of the Bankruptcy Act extend asylum to all and sundry, yet the mortgage is so far favored that the word "moratorium" brings to mind this case before all …

Held, that the claim was one "founded upon a contract express or implied," and provable even though not due until after the year allowed for proof of claims, the requirement of presentment and notice …

Sales--Distinction Between Conditional Sale And Chattel Mortgage-Michigan Rule
Michigan Law Review
The petitioner sold a truck under an unrecorded contract which provided that title was to remain in him until the buyer made full payment, and that in event of default the whole sum was to become due immediately with the right of reclamation. The buyer subsequently went into bankruptcy and the seller petitioned for reclamation of the truck from the trustee. Held, that since the contract under the Michigan rule constituted a chattel mortgage so that failure to record it made it ineffective against creditors, the petition should be denied. In re Central States Freight Corporation (E. D. Mich. …
