The U.C.C. And Franchise Act Remedies: Coast To Coast Stores, Inc. V. Gruschus, Misty Ellen Mondress

Seattle University Law Review

Coast to Coast Stores, Inc. v. Gruschus was the first Washington case to deal with the potential conflict between the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) and the Franchise Investment Protection Act (FIPA), arising when a franchisor repossesses goods after a franchisee defaults under a security agreement. The Washington Supreme Court avoided the conflict, however, by holding that because the franchisor never terminated the franchise, the FIPA protections were not triggered. The U.C.C. remedies therefore applied: the franchisor could collect the proceeds of a liquidation sale of the secured goods-in this case the franchisee's inventory and supplies-in reduction of the franchisee's indebtedness; …

The Relationship Of Contractual Remedies To Political And Social Status: A Preliminary Inquiry, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This paper has, then, two major themes. In the first part I hope to elucidate the relationship of political, legal, and social status associated with land ownership to the unique legal remedies - specific performance and non-recovery of damages - which society created in respect to exchanges of land (and thus exchanges of status) for money. In the conclusion I examine the transformation of legal rules applied to agreements in which labour is exchanged for money. If, in fact, property rules in contract evolved in response to the political, legal, and social attributes of land ownership, then one may be …

Restitution -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, John W. Wade

Vanderbilt Law Review

For the prevention of unjust enrichment of a defendant the courts make available a number of restitutionary remedies to a plaintiff. These remedies developed separately, and they differ somewhat in their characteristics, but during recent years writers have seen that there is a single principle underlying them all, whether they are administered at law or in equity.

Contracts-Fraud-Rescission For Non-Disclosure Of Insolvency, Sheridan Morgan

Michigan Law Review

Modern decisions have provided an important device for the protection of creditors through extension of the duty of disclosure by persons in extreme financial distress. The remedy chiefly used is rescission, which can be secured on the ground of "fraud," with restitution of property transferred in ignorance of the purchaser's distressed condition. The "fraud" need not consist of express misrepresentation of fact, though express misrepresentation often appears as an independent ground leading to the same result. The commercial importance of the remedies thus developed seems to justify consideration both of their practical consequences and of the theories on which relief …
