Kentucky Law Survey: Commercial Law And Consumer Credit, Harold R. Weinberg

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

This article is a survey of commercial law and consumer credit in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The most significant development during the past survey year was the demise of the holder in due course doctrine and other related doctrines which insulated creditors financing consumer sales from consumer claims and defenses. As a result of this development, consumers will now be able to assert claims or defenses arising out of the sale financed against the financer under certain circumstances. Other developments also surveyed herein relate to the Uniform Commercial Code statutes of frauds and prejudgment creditors’ remedies.

Purchase Of Consumer Paper And Subjection To Collateral Forces, Benjamin Geva

University of Richmond Law Review

The purchase of commercial paper issued in return for consumer goods [hereinafter referred to as consumer paper] is a common and wide-spread sales financing practice. Various judicial techniques and legislative schemes have been employed to disqualify purchasers of consumer paper from becoming holders in due course [hereinafter referred to as HDC], thus rendering these purchasers subject to defenses to the instrument based upon consumer dissatisfaction with the goods. Underlying the denial of HDC sttus to purchasers of consumer paper are the following premises: (1) the sale of consumer goods is not a commercial transaction and should not be governed by …

Equal Credit Opportunity Act Amendments Of 1976, Judith B. Henry

University of Richmond Law Review

It would be difficult to exaggerate the role of credit in today's society. But for the availability of credit, it would be impossible for most Americans to obtain an education, purchase a car, own a home, or start a business. Because of the increasing popularity of credit cards, credit is relied on daily in consumer transactions. Yet a number of persons have been unable to obtain credit, not because of an inability to repay, but because of their membership in a particular class.

Arms Transfers By The United States: Merchant Of Death Or Arsenal Of Democracy, Archibald S. Alexander

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Controversial events of the last few years have presented the American public with the question whether arms transfers by the United States have gotten out of hand. Has our country become the chief "merchant of death," as believed by many at the time of Senator Nye's investigation soon after World War I, or is it the "arsenal of democracy," as generally believed during and after World War II? This article deals with transfers of all kinds of non-nuclear arms from or by the United States, and it examines all types of transfers including grants, transfers on credit, government to government …

Commercial Law, John M. Hewson Iii

Mercer Law Review

Last year's Survey reported that the field of commercial law was expanding rapidly and that the courts were receptive to innovative solutions to protect consumers from the rigors of the traditional commercial-law concepts. This year has been mixed. Some courts have pushed "consumerism" to new lengths, while other have retraced their steps from the extremes of the past few years and returned to more traditional commercial law concepts. This article discusses some of the more important developments in the peripheral area of Truth-in-Lending as well as report the cases and statutes for the 1975-76 year within the traditional realm of …

Secured Party's Right To Sue Third Persons For Damage To Or Defects In Collateral, Harold R. Weinberg

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The proverb “there is many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip” might have been written with the secured creditor in mind. Many tragedies may befall him to defeat his expectations. He takes his security interest hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst—nonperformance of the obligation secured. If he does not carefully comply with the Article Nine provisions concerning the enforceability and perfection of a security interest, he may ultimately be unsecured. If his security interest is enforceable and perfected, it may turn out that some other party has priority to the collateral. Even if the secured …

Fiduciaries And Fairness Under Rule 10b-5, Thomas J. Sherrard

Vanderbilt Law Review

In Marshel v. AFW Fabric Corp., decided on February 13,1976, the court unanimously sustained a challenge to long-form merger under New York law for the sole purpose of "going private,"concluding that despite full disclosure, the merger itself constituted a fraudulent scheme because it represented an attempt by the majority stockholders, in violation of their fiduciary obligations, to utilize corporate funds strictly for personal benefit and for no legitimate corporate purpose...

It is the purpose of this article to analyze the Green and Marshel decisions against the backdrop of previous cases in the area of fraudulent mismanagement, to gauge their impact …

Products Liability--Assumption Of Liability In Sale Of Assets, James Ronald Snyder

West Virginia Law Review

One of the usual factors to be considered in the acquisition of one corporation by another is whether the transferee is to assume the transferor's liabilities. Often the intent of the parties can be effectuated by choosing one form of acquisition over another. For example, if the parties intend that the transferee assume all of the liabilities of the transferor, the transaction could be structured as a merger because, by operation of law, the transferee assumes all of the transferor's liabilities in a merger. On the other hand, if the parties decide that the transferee will assume none of the …
