The Negotiable Instruments Law With Annotations, Robert E. Bunker

Books

"The Negotiable Instruments Law was enacted by the Legislature of Michigan at its 1905 session and on this 16th day of September, 1905, becomes a law of the State.

Soon after the approval of the Act -- June 16, 1905, -- I undertook the work of annotating the statute and of explaining its origin, scope and purpose in such particulars as seemed to invite explanation....

I submit the result of my work -- undertaken in the hope that it might help the profession and the bankers and the business men in dealing with this statute -- to all who may …

The Liability Of The Custodian Of Public Funds Lost Without His Fault, Gustav Stein

Michigan Law Review

In a work on Public Offices and Officers, the writer characterizes the question of the liability of an officer and his sureties for loss of public funds by the officer without default on his part, as ''of great interest and importance, but one upon which the authorities are in conflict." Since the publication of that work in 1890, a con­ siderable number of cases has arisen continuing the conflict, and llustrating its importance. It is proposed in this article, to state the views entertained by the courts, the extent to which they have been applied, the reasons advanced to support …

Outlines Of The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

The subject of Agency belongs to a comparatively recent period in our law … Agency belongs distinctively to a commercial age, and its growth has kept pace with the progress of commercial development. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. As soon as it is conceded that one man may be represented by another in business transactions, and that he may have as many such representatives as occasion may require, the field of commercial activity is immensely widened. The modern business man may thus be constructively present in many places and …
