Business Associations--1959 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Eighty-first General Assembly enacted a considerable number of significant statutes affecting business organizations or their activities. One of the new statutes made important changes in the Securities Law of 1955. Several of the statutes were designed, or at least professed to be designed, to encourage the commercial and industrial development of Tennessee. On the other hand, Tennessee courts handed down during the survey period only two or three opinions touching on business associations questions, and those questions were of but little importance. In general, this article discusses the statutes first, then the judicial decisions.

Tax Aspects Of Corporate Business Purchase Agreements Funded With Life Insurance, Hugh J. Morgan Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Death to a member of a closely held business usually will seriously disrupt the workings of the business organization. Also, the estate of the decedent may find his business interest an unwanted asset. A valuable business interest often must be sacrificed because of the pressing need for cash to pay debts, administrative expenses, and estate and inheritance taxes. Thus, death may place the continued existence of the business in jeopardy, make uncertain the interest of decedent's surviving business associates, and make necessary a forced liquidation of decedent's interest in the business at a sacrifice price. Consequently,a business man may find …

Partnerships-Dissolution-Sufficiency Of Notice To Prior Creditors, Paul M.D. Harrison S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff brought suit on account for merchandise sold and delivered, alleging that the defendants were liable as partners. The defendants admitted that they had dealt with the plaintiff while they were a partnership, but averred that a corporation was formed which took over the partnership and that the merchandise in question had been purchased by the corporation. The trial judge instructed the jury that plaintiff must have notice or knowledge of the dissolution of the partnership to relieve defendants of personal liability, and that mere notice of the formation of the corporation was immaterial. Held, judgment for plaintiff affirmed. …

The Immunity Of Foreign States When Engaged In Commercial Enterprises: A Proposed Solution, John G. Hervey

Michigan Law Review

Do governments which engage in commercial undertakings assume the civil and criminal liabilities imposed upon private corporations engaged in similar enterprises, or do governments confer sovereign privileges upon their undertakings? Can governments engage in commercial enterprises and thereby escape the liabilities imposed upon private individuals? More particularly, are foreign governments engaged in such undertakings exempt from process in the American courts?

Admiralty - Workmen's Compensation - Is a Hydroplane a Vessel? - Claimant was employed in the care and management of a hydroplane which was moored in navigable waters. The hydroplane began to drag anchor and drift toward the beach, where it was in danger of being wrecked. Claimant waded into the water and was struck by the propeller. Held, claimant is not entitled to compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Law, since a hydroplane while on navigable waters is a vessel, and therefore the jurisdiction of the admiralty excludes that of the State Industrial Commission.

Public Utility Valuation - Cost Of Reproduction Theory And The World War, Edwin C. Goddard

Articles

The very grave objections to the cost-of-reproduction theory of valuation of public utilities was pointed out at large in 15 MICH. L. REV. 205. The violent price changes following the World War have greatly increased the weight of these objections to calling anything a base which rests on such uncertainties and fluctuations as cost-of-reproduction. A base should be stable, but this has the stability Of a flying machine. There had been a rising curve of costs from 1893 to 1916, but since that date the rise has been almost vertical. The public utilities by- the thousands desire to take advantage …
