Corporations-Purchase Of Notes And Mortgages As "Doing Business"
Corporations-Purchase Of Notes And Mortgages As "Doing Business"
Michigan Law Review
C was engaged in loaning money in Idaho. He sold many of the notes and mortgages which he thus received to the plaintiff, a foreign corporation. It was his practice, nevertheless, to collect the interest on these notes and remit it to the plaintiff. The actual sales of the notes and mortgages occurred in Chicago. In this manner the plaintiff acquired the note of the defendant, a resident of Idaho and his mortgage on Idaho land. The Idaho statute forbids a foreign corporation "doing business" in the State to sue in its courts without taking certain qualifying steps. The plaintiff, …

Corporations-Qualifications Of Officers-Effect On Existing By-Laws Of Change In Statute
Corporations-Qualifications Of Officers-Effect On Existing By-Laws Of Change In Statute
Michigan Law Review
Corporate by-laws adopted under and following Act No. 84, Michigan Public Acts of 1921, required that directors be chosen from stockholders, the positions to become vacant should the directors dispose of their stock. In 1931 the statute was changed, now reading that "directors . . . need not be shareholders unless the articles so provide." The by-laws were not altered. Qualified directors subsequently disposed of their stock and petitioned the chancery court under the statute for dissolution of the corporation and appointment of a receiver. Appealing from an order granting that petition, creditors and stockholders of the corporation contended that …

Corporations - Dissenting Stockholder's Suit -Conditional Decree
Michigan Law Review
The directors and majority stockholders of a Minnesota mining corporation which. needed financing were also the directors and majority stockholders of another Minnesota mining corporation which had a large surplus. They decided to consolidate the two in order to finance the one, offering the stockholders of each corporation a share for share exchange, which would result in the stockholders of the unsuccessful corporation having a 9/16 control of the consolidated corporation. Dissenting stockholders, holding 18/100 of 1% of the total stock in the successful corporation, brought a bill to restrain the consolidation and to have a receiver appointed to take …

Some Comments On The Reserved Power To Alter, Amend And Repeal Corporate Charters, Gustavus Ohlinger
Some Comments On The Reserved Power To Alter, Amend And Repeal Corporate Charters, Gustavus Ohlinger
Michigan Law Review
The old theories as to the nature, creation and powers of corporations which during the last hundred years have been obscured, but today are coming more and more to the fore in legal literature, in the adjudications of the courts, and in recent revisions of corporation acts suggest a re-examination of the power of state legislatures to alter, amend and repeal corporate charters under the reservations contained in many state constitutions and statutes, both as related to those theories and as they apply to recent and impending social and economic changes.
Corporations-Preparation Of Stockholders' List-Statutory Provision
Corporations-Preparation Of Stockholders' List-Statutory Provision
Michigan Law Review
On a petition challenging the legality of an election of directors at a special meeting, one of the contentions was that calling this meeting on five days' notice violated section 29 of the Delaware General Corporation Act, as amended by 36 Del. Laws, c. 135, sec. 15, which provided that a list of stockholders entitled to vote be made by the officer in charge, ten days before every election. Held, this is not grounds for avoiding the election; the provisions of the statute are directory only, and where a by-law of the corporation required five days' notice for special …

Corporations - Directors - Power Of Shareholders To Fill Vacancies
Michigan Law Review
One of a directorate of three having resigned in the middle of his term, a special stockholders' meeting was called to fill the vacancy, and defendant was elected to finish the term. The relator, a stockholder and director, brought a writ of quo warranto to oust the defendant on the ground that the Corporation Act (ch. 32, sec. 21, par. 5, Ill. Rev. Stat. Cahill, 1929) provided that "the directors shall fill all vacancies which may happen in the board * * * by death, resignation, or otherwise, until the next annual meeting of the stockholders," and that therefore the …

Conflict Of Laws-Jurisdiction-Foreign Corporation Not Doing Business In The State
Conflict Of Laws-Jurisdiction-Foreign Corporation Not Doing Business In The State
Michigan Law Review
A summons addressed to the defendant corporation was served upon one of its officers at his private residence in Minnesota. The defendant, appearing specially, moved to set aside the service on the ground that it was a foreign corporation not transacting business in the state and that it had empowered no one to accept service of process there in its behalf. The plaintiff contended that the acquisition and ownership of property in Minnesota brought the defendant into the state and under the jurisdiction of its courts. Held, jurisdiction over the corporate property did not give jurisdiction over the corporate …

Articles
In Consumers' Coal Co. et al. v. City of Lincoln, et al. (Neb. 1922) 189 N. W. 643, the supreme court of Nebraska held that a municipal fuel-yard, selling fuel at retail to the inhabitants of the city, was not a "public service plant" authorized by a section of the city charter which empowered the city to acquire, own and operate gas and electric plants, street railways, telephone plants, "and any and all other public service plants and properties, for the purpose of supplying the city and the inhabitants thereof with such service and public utilities." The suit was brought …

Trust Company In Michigan, Ralph Stone
Trust Company In Michigan, Ralph Stone
Michigan Law Review
A trust company in Michigan is a financial and business institution. It came into being, in this state -as elsewhere, in response to the need for an efficient and business-like organization to administer estates and trusts of all kinds as a relief to the individual executor, administrator and trustee. The ever -increasing complications of business and finance placed a burden upon the individual- the relative, the friend, or the business associate-which he found he could not carry without considerable sacrifice either to his own interests or to those of the trust. Those who create trusts either by will, or private …

Public Utility Valuation - Cost Of Reproduction Theory And The World War, Edwin C. Goddard
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 …
Public Utilities—Franchise Rates As Affected By The World War, Edwin C. Goddard
Public Utilities—Franchise Rates As Affected By The World War, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
The economic convulsions due to the World War are abundantly reflected in the relations between the public and their public utilities operating under franchises fixing rates for service. The enormous rise in cost of labor and materials has, in many cases, so reduced the net income of such utilities as to make it a negative quantity at existing franchise rates. The utilities are crying to be saved from bankruptcy, but the unfortunate suspicion bred by past dealings of many such companies has made the public skeptical, and perhaps in many cases entirely unreasonable. In some cases plain selfishness may explain …

Public Utility Valuation - Going-Concern Value In Rate Making, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
What is the effect of a city ordinance which proposes to a public utility company the terms on which it may dispose of its product to the users, but which is rejected by the company? As to a company not yet doing business it is clear that the ordinance when rejected becomes a mere legal nullity. It never was more than an offer that might ripen into a binding contract by acceptance. That it is by no means a nullity as to a utility actually operating in the city after the expiration of its franchise and as a mere tenant …

Interstate Commerce Commission - Intrastate Rates, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
The marvelous possibilities for collision between State and Nation involved in our dual form of government are nowhere better or more often exhibited than in commerce regulation. We have long been learning the definition of the commerce which the constitution gives Congress power to regulate. It is only recently that we are finding how this power reaches over into purely intrastate business done by a carrier also engaged in interstate commerce. That nearly all rail carriers are now engaged in such business, even when their lines are wholly intrastate, has been often illustrated under the Second Employer's Liability Act. In …

Interstate Commerce And State Control Over Foreign Corporations, Ralph W. Aigler
Interstate Commerce And State Control Over Foreign Corporations, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
Since Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 13 Pet. 519, there seems to have been no real occasion to doubt the power of a state totally to exclude foreign corporations seeking to engage in intrastate business only. The power to exclude being absolute, there has been no question as to the right of the state to allow the entrance of the foreign corporation for such business upon terms, and the terms may be of any sort, reasonable or unreasonable, except that the corporation seeking to enter cannot as a condition precedent to such entry be required to surrender a right or …

Purchase Of Shares Of Corporation By A Director From A Shareholder, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Purchase Of Shares Of Corporation By A Director From A Shareholder, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Articles
It is generally laid down in the encyclopedias and text books, and affirmed in many court opinions that "the doctrine that officers and directors [of corporations] are trustees of the stockholders, applies only in respect to their acts relating to the property or business of the corporation. It does not extend to their private dealings with stockholders or others, though in such dealings they take advantage of knowledge gained through their official position."1 Much of this doctrine is based upon the language of Chief Justice SHAW in Smith v. Hurd2 decided in 1847. He said: "There is no legal privity, …
