Because of lack of good judgment on the part of her co-trustee, and without any moral fault on her part, Janet was charged with liability for a large sum. Her surety, who paid the succeeding trustee, took an assignment of the rights of the trust estate against Janet Jones and demanded that the trustee pay to it all the income, past, present and future, which the trust instrument gave to such beneficiary. The trustee brought this action for instructions. Held, as the trust estate …
Corporations - Derivative Suits - Insolvency As A Bar, Edmund O'Hare
Corporations - Derivative Suits - Insolvency As A Bar, Edmund O'Hare
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, stockholder in defendant bank, brought a derivative suit against the bank's directors to recover moneys allegedly wrongfully appropriated by them from the bank's assets. Before the commencement of the suit the bank had become insolvent and was in the process of liquidation. Held, the directors' motion to dismiss should be granted, since a stockholder may not maintain an action to hold an insolvent corporation's directors liable for fraud or mismanagement unless it appears that he will be benefited by the relief demanded, and full recovery here would still leave an excess of liabilities over assets. Falvey v. Foreman-State …

Corporations - Rights Of Creditors Of Insolvent Corporation - Greater Than Rights Of Corporation
Michigan Law Review
The dissenting and majority opinions of Justices Roberts and Cardozo in the recent case of McCandless v. Furlaud are illustrative of basically divergent conceptions of the status and function of the corporate receiver. In the following examination and evaluation of these conflicting positions, attention will be directed chiefly to those situations involving the problem of promoter's profits. The language and attitude of the courts, however, is typical of that adopted in all cases in which the questions considered arise and the conclusions suggested are of general application.

Corporations - Obligation To Refund Dividends Paid Out Of Capital
Michigan Law Review
The general rule is fairly well established that, where dividends are paid, in whole or in part, out of the capital stock, corporate creditors, being such when the dividend was declared, or becoming such at any subsequent time, may, to the extent of their claims, if such claims are not otherwise paid, compel the stockholders to whom the dividend has been paid to refund whatever portion of the dividend was taken out of the capital stock. This, however, has been modified in the federal courts to the extent that where the dividend, although paid entirely out of capital, was received …

Michigan Law Review

Among the assets was a note upon which the plaintiff is now suing a prior indorser. Although it was the intention of the defendant to indorse as agent in accordance with the request of the insolvent bank, on the face of his endorsement he indorsed individually.
