Disregarding The Entity Of Private Corporations [Part 1], Charles Horowitz
Washington Law Review
Although the device of incorporation has a number of advantages over other types of business organization such as partnerships, joint stock companies, and common law trusts, the advantage that has held the greatest appeal to prospective stockholders has been the advantage of limited liability. This advantage probably accounts for the widespread popularity of incorporation as a business device. In the last 100 years corporate growth has been such that it dominates the business life of the country. It has become apparent with the passage of time, however, that the device of incorporation can be used in such a way as …
Reorganization Under The Chandler Act: Features Of The New Revised Bankruptcy Law That Pertain To Corporate Reorganization, Roger L. Shidler
Reorganization Under The Chandler Act: Features Of The New Revised Bankruptcy Law That Pertain To Corporate Reorganization, Roger L. Shidler
Washington Law Review
The Chandler Act, which makes a complete revision of the bankruptcy laws, became effective on September 22, 1938. In this act there are incorporated some very substantial changes in the law relating to corporate reorganizations. The corporate reorganization provisions in former Section 77-B of the Bankruptcy Act have been changed and revised, and have been incorporated in the new bankruptcy act as Chapter X. Most of the changes were made as a result of the recommendations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, after a study of corporate reorganizations made by direction of Congress. While many of the changes are purely …
Accountability Of Promoters To The Corporation For Profits, Maurice Gershon
Accountability Of Promoters To The Corporation For Profits, Maurice Gershon
Washington Law Review
The Washington cases involving the question of the corporation's right of action against promoters who reap secret profits, do not yet cover the complete scope of legal principles developed on this subject. The cases state general conclusions and are inadequately discussed. In order that the Washington cases may be better evaluated, a brief summary of the general rules as applied in other jurisdictions, will first be presented.

When May An Ultra Vires Contract Be Enforced In Washington?, Elwood Hutcheson
When May An Ultra Vires Contract Be Enforced In Washington?, Elwood Hutcheson
Washington Law Review
Under the early common law, an ultra vires contract of a private corporation was absolutely void, on the theory that there being no power to make such a contract, legally there was no contract. It is at the present time well established in practically all jurisdictions that neither an action at law nor in equity can be maintained either by or against a corporation on an ultra vires contract which remains executory as to both parties or has been only partially performed, even though unanimously ratified by the board and stock holders. It is also well settled that where such …
The "Trust Fund" Theory: A Study In Psychology, Hyman Zettler
The "Trust Fund" Theory: A Study In Psychology, Hyman Zettler
Washington Law Review
The trust fund doctrine was one of the most interesting judicial creations of the last half of the nineteenth century. It performed and still performs a very useful function, but it has suffered much from its unfortunate name. In some jurisdictions the result has been an undue curtailment of its functions; in others, an undue extension of them. The doctrine has apparently come in for its most extensive application in our own jurisdiction. Indeed, it is here reaching out for new fields. It is, therefore, important for us to know the real scope of the theory and whether it should …
The Administration Of The Property Of A Deceased Partner, Burton J. Wheelon
The Administration Of The Property Of A Deceased Partner, Burton J. Wheelon
Washington Law Review
The descent of property to heirs or devisees is a right conferred by society and the statutes governing administration and distribution must, as a general rule, be strictly complied with. The case of the administration of a deceased member of a partnership, however, deals with property which does not belong to the deceased alone, but in which the surviving partners have a common and often equal or superior interest. Furthermore, the obligations incurred by the firm, through its members, bind the members jointly, it being remembered that a partnership is not an entity in the eyes of the law, but …
