Conflict Of Laws - Penal Provisions In Foreign Law - Liability Of Shareholders In De Facto Corporation, James M. Potter S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Defendants, residents of Tennessee, while attempting to form a corporation under the laws of Arkansas, inadvertently failed to file the articles of incorporation with the county clerk, although they were filed with the Secretary of State of Arkansas. The resulting business association was an Arkansas de facto corporation. Under Arkansas law the shareholders of a de facto corporation are personally liable for the debts of the corporation. Plaintiff, a creditor who dealt with the corporation, sued in a Tennessee court and asked that the Arkansas rule be applied. The trial court refused to do so on the ground that it …

Lectures On Federal Antitrust Laws, University Of Michigan Law School

Summer Institute on International and Comparative Law

The papers delivered at the 1953 Institute deal chiefly with current problems and policy questions under three major federal antitrust laws - the Sherman Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and the Clayton Act, including the Robinson-Patman Amendment. These statutes affect the daily operations of all sizes and types of American business. Judicial interpretations and the administration and enforcement of these laws involve both legal and economic criteria and tests of competition and monopoly. The Institute provided a forum for authoritative analysis of these aspects in order to create a better understanding of the antitrust laws as one of the …

A Decade Of Administrative Law: 1942-1951, Bernard Schwartz

Michigan Law Review

The past ten years have been particularly momentous ones in the development of American administrative law. It is, indeed, not too much to say that there are few, if any, aspects of that field which have not witnessed important changes during that time. It is for this reason that an analysis of administrative law developments during the past decade should prove useful. However valuable an annual survey of the law may be, it suffers from the shortness of the period which it covers. An analysis of developments during a decade enables a broader perspective to be obtained.

It will be …

It is the purpose of this article to inquire, so far as possible, into the actual operation of the damage apportionment statutes, and to offer some conclusions as to the most desirable form of act for any legislature about to set forth upon these relatively uncharted seas.

The Cy Pres Doctrine And Changing Philosophies, Edith L. Fisch

Michigan Law Review

The cy pres doctrine arose so far back in antiquity that its origins are obscure. Apparently it was known and used in Roman law, for an application of the cy pres doctrine is reported in the Digest of Justinian. In the early part of the third century a city received a legacy bequeathed for the purpose of commemorating the memory of the donor by using the income of the legacy to hold yearly games. As such games were illegal at that time a problem arose concerning the disposition of the legacy. Modestinus, a well known jurist, found the solution.

Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Ii, William F. Fratcher

Michigan Law Review

"Estate for life" is a generic term embracing interests in land of several types. The duration of such an estate may be measured by the life of the tenant himself, by the life of some other person, by the joint lives of a group of persons (i.e., the life of the member of the group who first dies), or by the life of the survivor of a group of persons. In the last two cases the tenant himself may or may not be a member of the group. When the duration of the estate is measured by the life of …

Real Property-Notice-Recitals In Unrecorded Deeds In Chain Of Title, James S. Taylor

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff, Eiring, owner of all rights in a tract of land, attempted to convey certain mineral rights to Earnest by deed. The alleged rights passed from Earnest by subsequent mesne conveyances to McMillan, and, on the death of McMillan, to the defendant as trustee. Eiring brought an action against the defendant in statutory trespass to try title to the land. In the deed from Eiring to Earnest blank spaces were left in the granting clause. Held, the blank spaces rendered the deed void, and the deficiency was not cured by reference to another indefinite deed. After holding this, …

Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: I, William F. Fratcher

Michigan Law Review

During the century and a half which followed the Norman Conquest, the owner of land who attempted to transfer it might meet with opposition from three interested parties, his feudal overlord, his heir apparent and his tenant. His feudal overlord might object to a transfer by way of substitution, that is, one under the terms of which the transferor did not retain a reversion; because the proposed transferee was not a suitable person to perform the feudal services due for the land. As these services were frequently of a personal or military nature such an objection was not necessarily captious. …

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.

Lectures On Taxation Of Business Enterprise, University Of Michigan Law School

Summer Institute on International and Comparative Law

The problems relating to the taxation of business enterprise cover a wide area. Economic considerations and policy problems, always present and always important, assume added significance in a crisis period marked by high budgets and the need for increased revenues. The interpretation and application of the tax laws, notably the federal income tax statutes, create problems as numerous as they are difficult and complex. Here is an area of interest that challenges the attention and interest of legislators, economists, lawyers, accountants, corporate executives and public administrators.

In its choice of the general theme for the 1951 Summer Institute and in …
