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 …

Publicity Of Accounts And Directors' Purchases Of Stock, A. A. Berle Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Two debates have been carried on in recent years, whose echoes are at present much before the attention both of the public and the courts. The older and quieter one, maintained in the law reviews and in a line of conflicting judicial decisions, concerns the duty, if any, resting on a corporate director who bought or sold shares of stock in his own corporation. The newer and more violent discussion, reverberating through the daily newspapers, the lay magazines, and the financial chronicles, has dealt with corporate accounts; whether they should be public and to what extent; and if not, how …

Jurisdiction Over Foreign Corporations, Maxwell E. Fead
Jurisdiction Over Foreign Corporations, Maxwell E. Fead
Michigan Law Review
During the last century, the standing of foreign corporations in our law has been radically changed; and the law on this subject at the present day is far from being in a settled condition. According to the early view, a corporation could have no legal existence outside of the state of its creation. This view was perhaps best expressed by Mr. Chief Justice Taney in his famous dictum in Bank of Augusta v. Earle. "And this corporation can have no legal existence out of the bounds of the sovereignty by which it is created. It exists only in contemplation …
Jurisdiction Over Unincorporated Associations Composed Of Nonresidents
Jurisdiction Over Unincorporated Associations Composed Of Nonresidents
Michigan Law Review
New York has a statute which provides for suits against unincorporated associations consisting of seven or more members. It reads as follows: An action or special proceeding may be maintained, against the president or treasurer of such an association, * * * upon any cause of action, for or upon which the· plaintiff may maintain such action or special proceeding, against all the associates * * *· Any partnership; or other company of persons, which has a president or treasurer, is, deemed an association within the meaning of this section." General Associations Law (Consol. Laws of N. Y.), sec. 13. …
Trusts-Nature Of Massachusetts Or Business Trust
Trusts-Nature Of Massachusetts Or Business Trust
Michigan Law Review
The exact nature and legal incidents of the business trust, better known as the Massachusetts trust, have been put in question several times in recent years. There have been many conflicting decisions, and they represent varying degrees of hostility or favor towards a method of doing business which seems to possess many of the advantages of incorporation without carrying its burdens. It has recently been said: "The different and confusing conceptions of the law upon the subject of the Massachusetts trust, as evidenced by the many decisions of courts of the different states, and in discussions by the text-writers throughout …
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 …
Voting Trust Agreements, Maurice Finkelstein
Voting Trust Agreements, Maurice Finkelstein
Michigan Law Review
To the student who approaches the study of the law from the point of view of the legal philosophers-from Von Jhering to Pound-the detailed analysis of the law of private corporations in America will seem strange. Accustomed to think of law as a striving to maintain a balance such as the Poundian balance of social interests, he finds in the corporation law of the United States a co-existence of various systems without regard to the conflict of interests thereby created. Each state has its own rules of law and its own policies shaped by a medley of causes. Many states …

International Law--Witholding Of Political Recognition--Suit By Russian Corporation In Court Of Equity, Edwin D. Dickinson
International Law--Witholding Of Political Recognition--Suit By Russian Corporation In Court Of Equity, Edwin D. Dickinson
Articles
"The plaintiff corporation was incorporated in Russia under the Imperial government. Prior to the Russian Revolution it had deposited certain securities and moneys with the defendant, as trustee, as required by the New York statutes, for the protection of policy-holders and creditors. In this suit to compel the return of the funds the defendant claimed that the plaintiff corporation was no longer in existence because of the Russian Soviet decrees.... Held, that although the court cannot recognize the legal validity of the decrees of the Soviet government, the facts of the situation are such that justice and reason require …
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 …

Professor Dickinson's second commentary on Russian Reinsurance Company v. Stoddard and Bankers Trust Company: "The facts in the Russian Reinsurance Company case were without precedent. The Reinsurance Company had been incorporated in Russia in 1899 under a special statute constituting its charter and by-laws.... In 1917 the revolutionary Soviet Government was established in Russia and seven of the eight persons constituting the company's board of directors was driven into exile. In 1918 Soviet decrees nationalized the company, confiscated its property, and apparently terminated its corporate existence. Nevertheless, the exiled directors held meetings in Paris and continued to direct the …
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 …

Unintended Partnerships, Judson A. Crane
Unintended Partnerships, Judson A. Crane
West Virginia Law Review
Infinite variety is possible in the agreements by which persons unite property or services in the hope of gain. As legal problems arise between associates, or between one or all of them and outsiders, the method of solution is to classify the associates as constituting some standard relation, such as partnership, co-owners, or principal and agent, and then to apply the rules of law appropriate to the relation found to exist. As there is a prima facie presumption that persons sharing profits are partners it is often necessary to decide whether or no that relation exists, and in so deciding …
