Bills And Notes - Is One Assuming Liabilities To The Creditors Of His Transferor A Holder In Due Course
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff entered into an agreement whereby it was to receive all the assets of an insolvent bank as consideration for the assumption of certain specified liabilities. 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. Held, that since the plaintiff was not a holder in due course, the note was subject to the same defenses in the hands of the plaintiff …

Trusts -Tracing Of Assets - Preference
Michigan Law Review
In State ex rel Sorenson v. Farmers' State Bank of Polk (Lindquist, Intervenor) the beneficiary of a trust fund converted by the bank, subsequently becoming insolvent, was allowed to resort to equity and recover the trust fund as a preferred claim against the general assets of the bank. The beneficiary deposited a promissory note in the sum of $4,500 in the bank for a special purpose and the bank, without authority, indistinguishably mingled the proceeds of this note with the general mass of bank assets. The amount of actual cash on hand when the insolvent bank was taken over by …

Corporations - Dissolution - Distribution Of Assets Between Preferred And Common Stockholders
Michigan Law Review
In periods of business depression, problems concerning the dissolution and liquidation of corporations, with the question of preference between the holders of the preferred and common stock, often become very acute. A recent case, presenting the question of preference from the aspect of unpaid dividends on preferred stock, is Penington v. Commonwealth Hotel Construction Corporation.
Corporations - Power To Dispose Of Realty
Corporations - Power To Dispose Of Realty
Michigan Law Review
A cattle company, authorized by its charter to deal only in live stock, was in possession of three tracts of land. Upon a decision of the stockholders and directors to dissolve, two of these tracts were sold outright. The third, being near a large city, was subdivided into city lots with streets, sidewalks, water, lights, etc., for the purpose of a more advantageous sale. This involved the expenditure of considerable sums of money, and at the end of four years some of the lots were still unsold. The corporation became insolvent and the receiver refused to pay the money borrowed …
Sales--Distinction Between Conditional Sale And Chattel Mortgage-Michigan Rule
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. …

Corporations-Liquidation-Jurisdiction Of Court
Michigan Law Review
A recent New Jersey case, Naspo v. Summits Sweet Shoppe, Inc., suggests interesting questions of the jurisdiction of equity over insolvent corporations. In that case, a bill was brought under section 69 of the New Jersey code, by a simple contract creditor with a small claim of $75 praying for the appointment of a receiver and the distribution of the assets. After the court had heard the parties on a motion for the appointment of a receiver, new counsel for the defendant corporation came in at a later hearing, offered to pay plaintiff's claim and asked for a dismissal …
Bankruptcy-Effect Of Discharge On Assignment Of Expectancy
Bankruptcy-Effect Of Discharge On Assignment Of Expectancy
Michigan Law Review
The Bankruptcy Act of the United States provides for the preservation of liens against a bankrupt's property not specifically declared by the Act itself to be dissolved because of fraud or because obtained within four months prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy. A discharge in bankruptcy protects the bankrupt from personal liability but does not affect valid and subsisting liens. These may be enforced after the discharge is granted

Failed Banks, Collection Items, And Trust Preferences, George Gleason Bogert
Michigan Law Review
About 1,200 banks failed in the United States during the year 1930, and failures for the years 1921-1929 averaged over 600 a year. Each of these bank failures doubtless involved several problems regarding collection items. In each case it was almost inevitable that there should be found among the assets in the hands of the defunct bank several items held for collection but not yet collected, and also that a number of items should have been collected but no effective remittance made on account of such collection. There thus arose a series of controversies between the banks or individuals which …

Torts-Negligent Misrepresentation-Duty Arising From Contract To Persons Not Parties
Michigan Law Review
The defendants, accountants, examined the books of the Stern Co., knowing that their balance sheet and 32 certified copies would be exhibited as a basis for future credit, but not knowing of the plaintiff particularly.

Corporations-Dissolution-Distributi0n Of Assets Between Holders Of Fully And Partially Paid Stock
Corporations-Dissolution-Distributi0n Of Assets Between Holders Of Fully And Partially Paid Stock
Michigan Law Review
On the insolvency of the Commonwealth Hotel Construction Co. and after, the creditors had been paid in full, there were assets on hand for distribution among the stockholders. The holders of partially paid stock requested that the assets be distributed in proportion to the amounts which the various stockholders had paid in. This in effect meant that the losses were to be proportional to the amounts paid in, instead of being proportional to the amounts which the stockholders had contracted to pay, and was resisted by the holders of fully paid stock as being inequitable. The chancellor (after holding in …
Receivers-Penalties On Taxes
Michigan Law Review
The recent case of McCormick v. Puritan Coal Mining Co. presents the question whether penalties and interest continue to accrue on delinquent taxes after the date of the appointment of a receiver. The court determined the question in the negative, supporting its decision by authorities which hold that interest does not ordinarily accrue on the debts of an insolvent after the date of the appointment of a receiver. The decision is directly contrary to the established rule that tax penalties and interest continue to accrue, notwithstanding the property has passed into the hands of a receiver.
Claims Against The Creditor As Defenses To The Surety, H. W. Arant
Claims Against The Creditor As Defenses To The Surety, H. W. Arant
Michigan Law Review
In the absence of statutory provision, where the surety is sued alone, the generally accepted view is that he can not show the existence of a claim in favor of his principal against the creditor for the purpose of preventing or decreasing the creditor's recovery against him. The view has frequently been applied where the surety, sued alone, sought to set up the creditor's breach of warranty as a defense. It recognizes that such a breach of warranty gives rise to a cause of action against the creditor that belongs solely to the principal debtor. It also recognizes the possibility …

Bankruptcy-Voluntary Petition By Incompetent On Court Order
Michigan Law Review
A state court adjudged B to be insane, committed him to an asylum, appointed G as guardian of his estate, and later authorized G to file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy on behalf of B. Such a petition was filed by G, the schedule of liabilities showing debts contracted before B was adjudicated insane. The federal district court adjudicated B a bankrupt and appointed a trustee in bankruptcy, who sued C to recover an alleged preference paid to C by B. C then sought to set aside the adjudication of bankruptcy on the ground that an insane person could not …

Corporations-Dissolution-Distribution Of Assets Between Preferred And Common Stockholders
Michigan Law Review
The Commonwealth Hotel Construction Co. became insolvent, and, after the creditors had been paid in full, the preferred and common stockholders disagreed to the distribution of the remaining assets. The articles of incorporation provided that the holders of preferred stock should be entitled to dividends at the rate of seven per centum per annum which should be cumulative "so that, if dividends for any past dividend period at the rate of seven per centum per annum shall not have been paid thereon or set apart therefor, the deficiency shall be fully paid or set apart, but without interest, before any …
