Resolving Ambiguities Against The Conditional Sale, Lucile Lomen
Resolving Ambiguities Against The Conditional Sale, Lucile Lomen
Washington Law Review
As a financing device, the conditional sales agreement has become very popular, but there are many legal problems arising from its use which are pitfalls for the unwary draftsman. There is a lack of harmony among the several jurisdictions as to the meaning of the term "conditional sale" and as to its incidents, once such a device is found. In several cases the Washington court has indicated a hostility to this form of financing, holding a purported conditional sales agreement to be a chattel mortgage. It is important then to have a clear understanding of the limitations of the conditional …
Maximum Prices With Respect To Agricultural Commodities, Robert H. Shields
Maximum Prices With Respect To Agricultural Commodities, Robert H. Shields
Michigan Law Review
As we all know, prices of agricultural commodities during this war have been directly and substantially affected by Government controls and will probably continue to be so affected in the immediate future. These controls take two forms: First, there are those relating to price floors, that is, minimum support prices with respect to agricultural commodities; and, second, there are those relating to price ceilings, that is, maximum prices with respect to agricultural commodities.
Contracts-Doctrine Of "Commercial Frustration" As Applied To Leases Of Real Property, Margaret Groefsema S. Ed.
Contracts-Doctrine Of "Commercial Frustration" As Applied To Leases Of Real Property, Margaret Groefsema S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A mushroom crop of litigation has sprung up as a result of wartime governmental restrictions on production and consumption of civilian goods, particularly with respect to regulations of the sale of gasoline, tires, automobiles, and automobile accessories. Numerous problems have confronted the courts involving leases of property for the purpose of selling or servicing motor vehicles, where the lessee has sought to be released from his covenant to pay rent by invoking the so-called doctrine of "commercial frustration."
Sales-Automobile Dealer Financing And The Bona Fide Purchaser, Robert M. Barton S. Ed.
Sales-Automobile Dealer Financing And The Bona Fide Purchaser, Robert M. Barton S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
With the prospect of increased manufacture of automobiles for civilian use, the problem of financing the dealer and his customers will again loom large. In the past the burden has largely been assumed not by banks, whose credit practices and collection machinery are better adapted to short term, single payment credits, but by the finance or acceptance companies. These organizations mushroomed into prominence after World War I as retail installment selling became more and more prevalent, and with the "easy payment plan" offered by the dealer to the retail buyer, there was produced a corresponding need by the dealer himself …

Administrative Law-Price Control Act-Recent Amendments, Robert A. Sprecher
Michigan Law Review
On July 1, 1944, the "Stabilization Extension Act of 1944" became effective, thereby introducing several important changes in the field of price control law. Many of these changes have the effect of granting relief to persons subject to price control, while others are designed to aid the price administrator in his enforcement of the Price Control Act.

Sales - Place Of Title - "Cash Sales"
Sales - Place Of Title - "Cash Sales"
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiffs contracted to sell lambs not yet in existence to Boylen; $500 was paid at the execution of the contract in May, an additional $500 was to be paid in August, and the remaining amount was "to be paid on delivery of the lambs." The August payment was made. On September 20 plaintiffs delivered the lambs to Boylen at a railway shipping station. There was no station agent at the place, no bill of lading was taken out and no bill of sale or other paper transferred. Apparently the lambs were simply delivered into the possession of Boylen and …
Coverage Of The Fair Labor Standards Act, Malcolm M. Davisson
Coverage Of The Fair Labor Standards Act, Malcolm M. Davisson
Michigan Law Review
The Fair Labor Standards Act was upheld by the Supreme Court as a valid exercise of the commerce power in United States v. Darby. By expressly overruling Hammer v. Dagenhart and limiting the application of Carter v. Carter Coal Co., the Court recognized that production is not to be divorced from commerce and extended greatly the range of Congressional control over substandard labor conditions through exercise of the commerce power. There remained, however, the determination of the coverage of the act, which is essentially a problem of statutory delineation in the application of the act to particular fact …
Sales - Retail Dealers - Liability For Defects In Canned Goods
Sales - Retail Dealers - Liability For Defects In Canned Goods
Michigan Law Review
One Ocon, a retail dealer, sold a can of spinach to plaintiff's wife, who, because of something deleterious about the spinach, became ill from eating it. Plaintiff sued for damages resulting from his wife's illness. The court of appeals certified to the supreme court the following question:--"Was Ocon, the retail dealer, liable to Josey for selling his wife a can of unwholesome spinach, plainly labeled with the processor's name and address, upon the theory that he (Ocon) impliedly warranted that such spinach was fit for human consumption?" Without complicating the problem by an issue of the plaintiff's rights as distinct …
Sales - Warranty - Significance Of Phrase "Reasonably Fit For Purpose"
Sales - Warranty - Significance Of Phrase "Reasonably Fit For Purpose"
Michigan Law Review
The purchaser of a mechanical corn picker sued to recover the money paid for it, alleging that the seller had warranted that the machine was reasonably fit for the purpose whereas in use it missed a third of the ears, shelled some of those it did pick, husked others poorly and knocked down standing corn. The appellate court reversed a judgment for the defendant seller, because the trial court had instructed the jury that the warranty required only that the machine should do the work as satisfactorily as other mechanical pickers of that time would do it. Juvland V. Wood …

Unfair Competition- Unlawful Trade Practices -Michigan Statute - Misleading Practices By ''Wholesale Sellers", Jay W. Sorge
Unfair Competition- Unlawful Trade Practices -Michigan Statute - Misleading Practices By ''Wholesale Sellers", Jay W. Sorge
Michigan Law Review
During recent years "phony" wholesalers have been defrauding the public by selling merchandise at "wholesale" prices which are actually higher than the retail prices of the same articles. These sales are made by three methods: (a) through the use of open showrooms, in which the articles are displayed as they would be at a wholesale house, although the actual business carried on is with individuals; (b) by distributing courtesy cards entitling the bearer to discounts at certain retail or wholesale houses, and (c) by sending out to members of organizations or to individuals catalogs which advertise standard brands at low …
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Power To Regulate Intrastate Transactions - Milk Prices, Michigan Law Review
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Power To Regulate Intrastate Transactions - Milk Prices, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Pursuant to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, conferring on the Secretary of Agriculture the power to regulate the handling of milk which is "in the current of interstate or foreign commerce, or which directly burdens, obstructs or affects interstate or foreign commerce in such commodity or product thereof," the secretary issued marketing orders fixing minimum prices to be paid to producers of milk in the Chicago area. Respondent, who purchased and sold milk only within the state of Illinois, refused to comply with the order. The United States sought enforcement of the order, but the complaint was dismissed. …
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Regulation Of Renovated Butter Manufacture, Michigan Law Review
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Regulation Of Renovated Butter Manufacture, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, who was engaged in the manufacture of renovated butter from packing stock butter, brought an action to enjoin Alabama officials from enforcing state laws relating to the inspection and seizure of the raw material. Plaintiff contended that since the production of renovated butter was taxed and regulated by the United States, state action was excluded. The federal act conferred upon the Secretary of Agriculture, among other things the duty of ascertaining "whether or not materials used in the manufacture of said process or renovated butter are deleterious to health or unwholesome in the finished product, and in case such …
Trade Restraints - Unlawful Trade Statutes - Sales By Employers To Employees Of Goods Not Handled In Regular Course Of Business, Jay W. Sorge
Michigan Law Review
The title of that once popular tune may soon be changed to "I Can't Get It For You Wholesale." During the last two years the legislatures of four states have passed laws making it unlawful for employers, either individuals, corporations, or other associations, to sell merchandise or other products to their employees unless these articles were actually manufactured by the employer or sold by him in the regular course of his business. It is the purpose of this comment to discuss the need and advisability of such legislation, the statutes which have been enacted, and their enforcement and constitutionality.
United States - Contracts - Effect, When Tax Is Declared Unconstitutional, Of Provisions For Increase Or Decrease Of Purchase Price For Taxes "Imposed" Or "Changed", Wilbur Jacobs
Michigan Law Review
Between May 1935 and January 1936 the federal government purchased flour from respondent through contracts which contained a so-called "up and down" tax clause. The basic price charged included the A.A.A. processing taxes. During this same period respondent obtained an injunction against the collection of said processing taxes and, as a result of the decision of the Supreme Court in United States v. Butler, was relieved of liability for the tax. In a later suit brought by respondent in the Court of Claims to recover on other contracts, the government claimed a setoff for the amount of these taxes. …
Tort Liability Of Suppliers Of Defective Chattels, Paul A. Leidy
Tort Liability Of Suppliers Of Defective Chattels, Paul A. Leidy
Michigan Law Review
A recent case decided by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and a recent article appearing in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review have served to focus attention upon the interesting problem of the liability, on other than warranty principles, of the vendor of a defective chattel. Because of the line of attack taken in the dissenting opinion and in the article, attention is directed, specifically, to the vendor's duty of inspection and, incidentally, to the liability of the manufacturer of a defective article, the reasons for that liability, and the question: Are the situations of the actual maker and the …

Trade Restraints - Is The United States A Person Within The Treble Damages Provision Of The Sherman Antitrust Act?, William C. Whitehead
Michigan Law Review
The United States filed a complaint charging that defendants had attempted collusively to fix prices in bids submitted by them to the federal government. A judgment for three times the money damages sustained was sought under the Sherman Antitrust Act. Held, that the United States is not a person within section 7 of the act under which relief was demanded. United States v. Cooper Corp., 312 U. S. 600, 61 S. Ct. 742 (1941).
The Supreme Court, The Commerce Clause, And State Legislation, Vincent M. Barnett, Jr.
The Supreme Court, The Commerce Clause, And State Legislation, Vincent M. Barnett, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Recent decisions have revealed a growing rift in the Supreme Court on the question of the effect of the commerce clause on state legislation. This question, a perennial one in our constitutional history, concerns state legislation affecting in some way or other the carrying on of interstate business, and the validity of that legislation in view of the clause giving Congress the authority to regulate interstate commerce. The permissible scope of state activity in the absence of Congressional action has been the troublesome problem. If Congress acts, the issue is a relatively simple one. When the state action conflicts with …
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Scope Of Federal Power Over Intrastate Activities-Fair Labor Standards Act, Michigan Law Review
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Scope Of Federal Power Over Intrastate Activities-Fair Labor Standards Act, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Authority of Congress to regulate intrastate activities through the commerce clause is derived from two principal sources: (1) the federal power to preserve the flow of commerce by eliminating potential burdens and obstructions; (2) the federal power to prohibit the interstate transportation of goods resulting in the spread of conditions which Congress considers detrimental to the general welfare. Utilization of the first source of authority over intrastate activities is exemplified by the National Labor Relations Act, enabling the federal government to regulate an aspect of local production likely to burden commerce. Utilization of the second source of authority is exemplified …
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Federal Trade Commission - Jurisdiction Over Intrastate Commerce Affecting Interstate Commerce, John C. Johnston
Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Federal Trade Commission - Jurisdiction Over Intrastate Commerce Affecting Interstate Commerce, John C. Johnston
Michigan Law Review
Appellee, an Illinois corporation engaged in manufacturing and selling candy within the state of Illinois, used in marketing its product a method of "break and take" packages involving an element of chance. The Federal Trade Commission had found that this practice constituted "unfair competition" and had ordered one hundred twenty of appellee's competitors who were engaged in interstate commerce to cease using it. The commission issued a like order against appellee on the theory that its activities, although wholly intrastate, "affected" interstate commerce. Appellee appealed from the order, contending that the Federal Trade Commission Act did not authorize the commission …

Constitutional Law - Commerce Clause - Labor Law - Power Of State To Enjoin Unfair Labor Practices Of Employees In Industries Engaged In Interstate Commerce, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The appellant (defendant in the case below) and certain of its members were found guilty of unfair labor practices as defined by the Wisconsin Employment Relations Act. Plaintiff-appellee issued a cease and desist order, which was sustained by the lower court despite defendant's contention that the statute was unconstitutional on the ground that Congress had precluded such state legislation affecting interstate industries by enacting the National Labor Relations Act. Held, plaintiff's order sustained. State legislation not repugnant to the Wagner Act is operative in this field so long as the National Labor Relations Board has not acted in the …
Constitutional Law - Validity Of State Use Tax On Mail Order Sales Of Foreign Corporation, Michigan Law Review
Constitutional Law - Validity Of State Use Tax On Mail Order Sales Of Foreign Corporation, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The respondent, a New York corporation licensed to do retail business in Iowa, did a large mail order business there also. Iowa customers sent orders by mail to the company's warehouses located outside that state, and the merchandise was shipped directly to the purchaser. On these mail order sales the company neither collected from its customers, nor paid to the state, the Iowa use tax. The petitioner, chairman of the state tax commission, threatened to cancel the respondent's license as a retailer and its permit to do business in Iowa unless such use tax were paid. Respondent obtained an injunction …
Sales Taxes, Interstate Trade Barriers, And Congress: The Gulf Oil Case, M. R. Schlesinger
Sales Taxes, Interstate Trade Barriers, And Congress: The Gulf Oil Case, M. R. Schlesinger
Michigan Law Review
The capacity of the federal government to deal with the increasingly irritating problem of interstate trade barriers is an important question high-lighted by the recent Supreme Court decision in McGoldrick v. Gulf Oil Corp. The Court there decided that in view of the superior federal authority over foreign commerce Congress could validly prohibit an otherwise legal city sales tax on imported petroleum manufactured into fuel oil and sold for use on foreign-bound ships.
