Secured Transactions In The Philippines, Estelito P. Mendoza
Secured Transactions In The Philippines, Estelito P. Mendoza
Washington Law Review
Philippine law on secured transactions is primarily statutory. Special laws dealing with chattel mortgages have been in effect since August 1, 1906. Title XV of the Philippine Civil Code deals with guaranty transactions and title XVI covers pledges and mortgages, with its major emphasis on pledges. The Chattel Mortgage Law was enacted by the Philippine Commission and is, thus, American in nature, while the Civil Code provisions are largely Spanish in origin.

Tax Consequences Of Doing Business In The Philippines, Ricardo J. Romulo
Tax Consequences Of Doing Business In The Philippines, Ricardo J. Romulo
Washington Law Review
The impact of the Philippine system of taxation is of great importance to American investors and businessmen. According to the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, the total direct United States investment in the Philippines at the end of 1963 was 415 million dollars and of this amount 110 million dollars are invested in manufacturing. Consequently, the aim of this Article, after briefly tracing the history of Philippine tax laws, is to present a thorough but concise discussion of the tax consequences of establishing and operating a business, with emphasis on American owned or controlled corporations, in the Philippines.

Personal Property As Collateral In Japan And The United States, Kazuaki Sono, Warren L. Shattuck
Personal Property As Collateral In Japan And The United States, Kazuaki Sono, Warren L. Shattuck
Washington Law Review
It is our purpose to compare Japanese and United States law and practice in the area of personal property security. Since it is not possible to find a precise common terminology for different types of security transactions, it seems desirable to arrange the discussion in terms of possessory and non-possessory security, and to use as subheads in the latter category the names of the American security devices. Security transfers of intangibles, chattel paper, and title documents are discussed under the possessory-security classification. An appendix includes English translations of cited Japanese statutes and pertinent Civil and Commercial Code as well as …

Alien Lawyers In The United States And Japan—A Comparative Study, Kaname Ohira, George Neff Stevens
Alien Lawyers In The United States And Japan—A Comparative Study, Kaname Ohira, George Neff Stevens
Washington Law Review
The steadily increasing economic and social contacts between Japan and the United States are illustrative of a development which has brought lawyers and laymen of all countries face to face with the need for more adequate, and accurate, information about the laws of all countries. Since the lawyer is the fount to which the informed layman turns for legal advice, it would seem quite natural for such a layman, faced with a problem involving foreign law, either to seek advice from his own attorney, or to turn to an alien admitted to the bar of the country, the laws of …
Introduction To U.S.-Japanese Investment, Dan Fenno Henderson
Introduction To U.S.-Japanese Investment, Dan Fenno Henderson
Washington Law Review
The legal environment for foreign investment in Japan has undergone sweeping changes in the past year, both in the Japanese domestic legislation and in the international law spheres. New international law commitments started with findings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) about a year and a half ago that Japanese economic conditions warranted a relaxation of foreign exchange controls, and after the necessary adjustments, on March 12, 1964, Japan arranged to shift her IMF status from an Article XIV country to an Article VIII country, meaning essentially that thereafter her foreign exchange budget was abolished and her current accounts (i.e., …
Contract Problems In U.S.-Japanese Joint Ventures, Dan Fenno Henderson
Contract Problems In U.S.-Japanese Joint Ventures, Dan Fenno Henderson
Washington Law Review
U.S.-Japanese joint ventures are by far the most important form of direct foreign investment in Japan. For unlike most advanced governments elsewhere in the world, Japanese officialdom has, with precious few exceptions, denied validation under the Law Concerning Foreign Investment to all enterprises wholly-owned or even majority-owned by foreigners. Furthermore, it was basic Japanese policy not to validate even a minority equity in a Japanese enterprise unless the foreigner possessed essential technology which he would not make available to Japanese industry by straight patent or know-how licensing arrangements. Since before July 1963 validation only meant the right to repatriate capital …
Japanese Investment Trusts, Hiroo Mizushima, Howard L. Lund, Masao Sekiguchi
Japanese Investment Trusts, Hiroo Mizushima, Howard L. Lund, Masao Sekiguchi
Washington Law Review
Foreigners have been freely permitted to purchase shares of Japanese corporations since 1950, with the condition that the principal would not be freely remitted abroad. Until 1960 little attention was paid to this opportunity. The recent increase in foreign interest in Japanese equities has coincided with the easing of currency and exchange restrictions, particularly the shortening of the waiting period for the conversion of invested principal to the original currency of the investor. As of April 1, 1963, the waiting period was entirely eliminated, with the expectation of increased foreign investments. Because of the significant increase of foreign offerings in …
The Protection In Japan Of Inventions By Employees During The Course Of Their Employment, Bunzo Takino, Ward M. French
The Protection In Japan Of Inventions By Employees During The Course Of Their Employment, Bunzo Takino, Ward M. French
Washington Law Review

The history of the revisions which have produced the present article will be discussed, then an interpretation of article 35 will be made, and finally an analysis and criticism of this article through a comparison with foreign laws will be provided.
The Antimonopoly Law Of Japan And Its Enforcement, Michiko Ariga, Luvern V. Rieke
The Antimonopoly Law Of Japan And Its Enforcement, Michiko Ariga, Luvern V. Rieke
Washington Law Review
The Antimonopoly Law of Japan became effective in July 1947, less than two decades ago. The act was extravagantly endorsed by the U.S. occupation forces as a charter for the economic future of Japan. It was indeed a significant undertaking, designed to implant democratic practices where none had existed before, and it required basic, almost revolutionary, changes in the economic structure of the nation. Equally important was the circumstance that this law was neither sought nor desired by the Japanese. It was imposed upon a defeated people, a device entirely alien to the history and culture of those who were …
Soviet Comrades' Courts, Harold J. Berman, James W. Spindler
Soviet Comrades' Courts, Harold J. Berman, James W. Spindler
Washington Law Review
A major aspect of Soviet criminal law reform since 1959 has been the transfer of certain judicial functions to Comrades' Courts, which are nonprofessional tribunals established to try petty offenses in enterprises, apartment houses, collective farms, universities, and elsewhere. These are called "social," rather than "state," agencies, because they are not staffed by civil servants but by volunteers and because they are conceived to perform a persuasive rather than a coercive function. Apart from their practical importance, they play an important part in symbolizing the theory that in the new period of "expanded construction of communism" there will be a …
Joint Ventures In Japan, Carl J. Bradshaw
Joint Ventures In Japan, Carl J. Bradshaw
Washington Law Review
In most aspects of establishment and operation, joint venture corporations do not differ from any other corporate enterprise. A joint venture operating in a foreign country encounters daily problems of negotiable instruments law, property law and insurance law, to name but a few, in the same way that every corporation in that country does. Thus, it may seem presumptuous to write about joint ventures in a particular country unless one is willing and able to produce a comprehensive survey of that country's legal system. There are several areas of the foreign law, however, which are primary, in terms both of …
The New Japanese Approach To The Taxation Of Foreign Individuals And Enterprise, Griffith Way
The New Japanese Approach To The Taxation Of Foreign Individuals And Enterprise, Griffith Way
Washington Law Review
It is only partly true that the lack of materials on Japanese taxation which are available to the foreign lawyer in English is the result of difficulties of language or a lack of familiarity with the legal and tax systems. Rather more it seems to reflect the Japanese bar's own lack of interest in the subject, a large part of which is occasioned by the lack of tax litigation. The tax field has been long and well occupied by the government tax economist on the one hand and the ordinary accountant on the other; the lawyer's role has been peripheral. …

Admission To The Bar, Disbarment And Disqualification Of Lawyers In Japan And The United States—A Comparative Study, Kaname Ohira, George Neff Stevens

It is the purpose of this paper to discuss and compare the procedure for admission to the bar and the grounds for disbarment and disqualification of lawyers in Japan and the United States.
Japanese Equity Financing With Special Reference To Issues In The United States, John B. Christensen
Japanese Equity Financing With Special Reference To Issues In The United States, John B. Christensen
Washington Law Review
Japanese industry since the war has been characterized by a very high rate of growth and a severe shortage of equity capital. Given the attractions of this high growth rate coupled with the political and economic stability of the country, it was natural that foreign equity investment would be attracted to Japan. This is particularly true in view of the disturbed conditions existing in other capital-short areas of the world and the recent stagnation in investment demand in the United States, the largest exporter of capital. This mating of supply with demand has not been without its difficulties, however. The …
Soviet Law And Soviet Society, By George C. Guins (1954), V. A. Riasanovsky
Soviet Law And Soviet Society, By George C. Guins (1954), V. A. Riasanovsky
Washington Law Review
The present work comprises Soviet Philosophy of Law, Land and Labor Law, State Law, Soviet Justice and also social structure (Soviet Society), International Law (principles and practice) and the legal order in the Soviet satellites. Application of the comparative method allows the author to describe all the differences between the legal system of the modem democratic nations and Soviet law. Owing to the analysis of both systems and their psychological and sociological effects, it becomes easier to understand what the Soviet legal system means for an individual and society, for national economy and morals. It is a new approach to …
Some Aspects Of Tokugawa Law, Dan F. Henderson
Some Aspects Of Tokugawa Law, Dan F. Henderson
Washington Law Review
The fall of China to communist forces has brought many otherwise complacent people to the realization that the enemies of democracy are outnumbering its friends in Asia. This is not a new phenomenon. Facts and frankness require us to recognize that neither in the past nor present has Western democracy demonstrated the capacity to take root and grow in Asia. But the fact that the present trend is not only undemocratic but actively directed against our nation has kindled a new desire to understand the reasons for the difficulties of democracy in the Far East.
Soviet Socialism And Embezzlement, John N. Hazard
Soviet Socialism And Embezzlement, John N. Hazard
Washington Law Review
Socialism has been heralded as the cure for crime. To the Marxist the claim seems reasonable. He believes that crime springs from poverty coupled with despair. Reorganization of the economic and socal structure of society under socialism is promised as the route to hope and wealth. In consequence, socialism should create conditions under which the citizen will have no need to steal and no desire to kill. To examine the effect of the thesis upon the writings of Soviet authors and the policy of the Soviet leaders this paper will review what has happened to the crime of embezzlement over …
Revision Of The Japanese Mining Law Under The Occupation, Albert H. Solomon
Revision Of The Japanese Mining Law Under The Occupation, Albert H. Solomon
Washington Law Review
In line with the policy of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers to democratize the mining industry of Japan, a study of existing mining law was undertaken in 1946 by a National Mining Law Revision Committee appointed by the Minister of Commerce and Industry (now Minister of International Trade and Industry). After four years of investigation, drafting, and redrafting of a revised Mining Bill, with technical assistance from a visiting mineral law expert from the United States and from lawyers and agricultural and forest economists employed in the Japanese government and in the Headquarters of SCAP, as well as …
The Legal Nature Of Soviet Collective Farms, George C. Guins
The Legal Nature Of Soviet Collective Farms, George C. Guins
Washington Law Review
Soviet legislation concerning collective farms (kolkhozes) reveals in an exceptionally clear manner all the peculiarities of the centralized economy. As a legal entity a kolkhoz owns its "socialist property," but this does not include the most valuable element of agricultural economy, that is, the land. Members of collective farms work on land which belongs to the state. Even the house and garden plots which are placed at the disposal of individual farmers and their families do not belong to them. Actually, only the surplus production belongs to the kolkhozes and they may dispose of it as they see fit, selling …
Democratization Of The Family Relation In Japan, Sakae Wagatsuma
Democratization Of The Family Relation In Japan, Sakae Wagatsuma
Washington Law Review
After the war, that part of the Japanese Civil Code which relates to family relationships, i.e., Book IV, Relatives, and Book V, Succession, underwent a thorough-going amendment, the chief objective of which was to democratize the legal relations among Japanese family members. As the main features of this amendment of the Japanese Civil Code have been explained in detail by Mr. Kurt Steiner in "Postwar Changes in the Japanese Civil Code" in the August issue of this Review, it appears advisable for the present writer to lay stress on the following two points: (1) public opinion on the amendment of …
The Reception Of Highly Developed Legal Systems By Peoples Of Different Cultures, Ernst Levy
The Reception Of Highly Developed Legal Systems By Peoples Of Different Cultures, Ernst Levy
Washington Law Review
The reception of legal ideas of one people by another is a universal phenomenon in world history Wherever the civilization of a tribe or nation reaches a stage enabling it to build up a legal system, the conditions of a reception are at hand. The march of ideas, legal as well as cultural, often follows in the path of material goods. Already the Code of Hammurabi of about 1750 B.C., which long was held to be the oldest code of mankind, displays strong Sumerian influences along with the native Semitic elements. Receptions permeate the following thousands of years; they have …
Postwar Changes In The Japanese Civil Code, Kurt Steiner
Postwar Changes In The Japanese Civil Code, Kurt Steiner
Washington Law Review
The developments of law in Japan since the beginning of the Occupation have been marked by an increased influence of Anglo-Saxon legal ideas. For example, future legal historians concerning themselves with the Japanese Code of Criminal Procedure may wel find that a new period, the Anglo-American period, began during the Occupation. The revision of the Civil Code in 1947, however, would more properly be considered as the second step of the reform of civil law which began in the Meiji Era. It completes the transition of Japanese civil law to the continental European family of law
Penalties And Rewards In Soviet Law, George C. Guins
Penalties And Rewards In Soviet Law, George C. Guins
Washington Law Review
The Soviet system and practice of penalties and rewards have several peculiarities which are undoubtedly bound up with Soviet socialism.
Revisions Of The Criminal Code Of Japan During The Occupation, Howard Meyers
Revisions Of The Criminal Code Of Japan During The Occupation, Howard Meyers
Washington Law Review
With the coming into force of the new Constitution of Japan on May 3, 1947, the Criminal Code had to be revised to excise those provisions which were contrary to the Constitution, since Article 98 of that document declared that such provisions had no legal force or validity. A Legislative Investigation Committee was appointed by the Japanese government, composed of leading judges, law professors, procurators, and officials of the Ministry of Justice. The writer worked with members of this group, as the representative of SCAP (Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers). The first and principal Code revision was submitted in …
