Communist China's Foreign Trade Organization, Gene T. Hsiao Mar 1967

Communist China's Foreign Trade Organization, Gene T. Hsiao

Vanderbilt Law Review

Although as of October 1966 Communist China has been diplomatically recognized by only fifty countries' and thus still remains outside the world legal community, it has trade relations with more than 120 countries and regions. The annual volume of Peking's foreign trade has been estimated at 2.96 billion dollars in 1963 and 4.5 billion dollars in 1966. The latest Western reports from Peking indicate that foreign buyers and sellers see in "China's 700 million people a market with dazzling prospects and a potential source "of supply of goods they can market profitably in their countries." The official organ of the …


Aec Production And Distribution Of Radioisotopes: State Trading In A Free Enterprise Economy, E. Blythe Stason Mar 1967

Aec Production And Distribution Of Radioisotopes: State Trading In A Free Enterprise Economy, E. Blythe Stason

Vanderbilt Law Review

Among the one hundred or so business-type activities of the Government are certain operations of the Atomic Energy Commission. In this article we shall examine the origin, growth and usefulness of just one phase of these AEC activities, that is, the production and distribution of radioisotopes. This activity is singled out for emphasis partly because of the remarkable success story resulting from the use of such isotopes, but more especially because of an unusual and even unique aspect of "state trading" introduced into the business by the AEC. We refer to, and shall explain in some detail, an unusual self-limiting …

Government Contract Disputes—Findings Of Fact Not Binding When Breach Alleged, Anon Oct 1965

Government Contract Disputes—Findings Of Fact Not Binding When Breach Alleged, Anon

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff contracted with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to construct a reactor testing station in Idaho. The contract gave the contracting officer and the head of the AEC (or his representative, the Board of Contract Appeals) authority to make findings of fact as to "disputes concerning questions of fact arising under this contract." Plaintiff submitted various claims in accordance with this disputes clause. Dissatisfied with the resulting administrative decisions, plaintiff brought an action in the Court of Claims for damages resulting from alleged breach of contract by defendant. The subjects of the alleged breach were the same as the claims …

Competitive Bidding—Public Construction Contracts In The State Of Washington, Ralph L. Hawkins Oct 1964

Competitive Bidding—Public Construction Contracts In The State Of Washington, Ralph L. Hawkins

Washington Law Review

In Washington, bidding procedures are controlled by a number of statutes. These have been set out in the appendix for the convenience of the reader. For the most part these statutes are unrelated in scope or content. The lack of uniformity in statutory pattern and the countless variations in administrative practice make any generalization dangerous. However, a brief statement of the general pattern is set out in the footnotes.


Federal Criminal Procedure-Subpoena Of Nonresident Citizen As Witness Before Grand Jury, Andre A. Schwartz Apr 1964

Federal Criminal Procedure-Subpoena Of Nonresident Citizen As Witness Before Grand Jury, Andre A. Schwartz

Michigan Law Review

Defendant, a nonresident citizen of the United States, was subpoenaed by a federal district court to appear before a grand jury investigating alleged fraud in the procurement of government contracts. Defendant having failed to appear, the district court issued an order directing him to show cause why he should not be held in contempt. On appeal from a judgment holding defendant in contempt, held, reversed, one judge dissenting in part. The power of a federal district court to subpoena a nonresident citizen is limited to the actual trial of a criminal action. United States v. Thompson, 319 F.2d …


Government Contracts-Judicial Review Under Disputes Clause, Amos J. Coffman Jr. Apr 1964

Government Contracts-Judicial Review Under Disputes Clause, Amos J. Coffman Jr.

Michigan Law Review

In a factual dispute arising under a standard government construction contract, the contractor followed the procedures required by the disputes clause. The contractor, after its claim was denied by the contracting officer, appealed to the Board of Claims and Appeals of the Corps of Engineers. The Board rejected the claim, and the contractor brought suit in the Court of Claims, alleging, in the words of the Wunderlich Act, that the Board's decision was "capricious or arbitrary or so grossly erroneous as necessarily to imply bad faith, or was not supported by substantial evidence." Over the Government's objection, a commissioner of …

Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Applicability Of State Minimum Price Regulations To Federal Procurement, Alexander E. Bennett Dec 1963

Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Applicability Of State Minimum Price Regulations To Federal Procurement, Alexander E. Bennett

Michigan Law Review

The United States accepted the lowest bids for the supply of milk at three military installations in California. Because these bids were below the minimum prices for wholesale milk prescribed by state law, California instituted proceedings in the state courts for civil damages and injunctive relief against the successful bidders. The United States brought a separate action in a federal district court asking that the state be enjoined from applying its minimum price regulations to milk purchases by the armed services on the grounds that the military installations were federal enclaves over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction and …


Patents-Procedure-Applicability Of Invention Secrecy Act Where Government Use Of Invention Is Authorized, Thomas G. Dignan Jr. Nov 1963

Patents-Procedure-Applicability Of Invention Secrecy Act Where Government Use Of Invention Is Authorized, Thomas G. Dignan Jr.

Michigan Law Review

After extended negotiations, plaintiff entered into a contract with the United States for the development of a new model "hemisphere sight," a mock-up of which plaintiff had previously revealed to the Air Force. Acting upon a request by the Air Force, the Commissioner of Patents issued a secrecy order on the gun sight pursuant to provisions of the Invention Secrecy Act, thus preventing the issuance of a patent to the plaintiff. In order for the United States to have a second source of supply for the sights, the plaintiff revealed its engineering information to another manufacturer upon governmental request to …


Suretyship-Subrogation-Rights Of Surety To Funds Withheld Under A Government Contract, William T. Holcomb Jr. Dec 1962

Suretyship-Subrogation-Rights Of Surety To Funds Withheld Under A Government Contract, William T. Holcomb Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner surety, under the terms of its payment bond, paid laborers and materialmen of a government contractor, who was later adjudicated bankrupt. The Government paid to the trustee in bankruptcy funds it had retained but which had been earned prior to termination of the contract. The district court1 reversed the referee's ruling denying the surety's petition for an order directing the trustee to transfer the retained funds to the surety. On appeal, held, affirmed. The surety was entitled to the funds, in preference to the trustee in bankruptcy, by subrogation to the laborers' and materialmen's equitable priority in the …


Federal Courts - Choice Of Law Application Of Federal Law To Government Subcontract In Federal Diversity Case, H. C. Snyder Jr. Dec 1961

Federal Courts - Choice Of Law Application Of Federal Law To Government Subcontract In Federal Diversity Case, H. C. Snyder Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Defendant obtained a government missile contract, and plaintiff was subcontracted to manufacture containers for the missiles. When certain changes in elements of the containers were ordered by the Government, plaintiff demanded an "equitable adjustment" from defendant pursuant to the terms of the subcontract. Defendant paid only the costs of effecting the necessary changes. Plaintiff instituted this suit in federal district court alleging diversity of citizenship and demanding that the adjustment include, as allowed by California law, compensation for overhead losses caused by a partial work stoppage during the delay in effecting the changes. The district court characterized the contract as …

Constitutional Law - Relation Of Federal And State Governments Applicability Of State Licensing Statute To Federal Contractors, Lee N. Abrams S.Ed. Jun 1957

Constitutional Law - Relation Of Federal And State Governments Applicability Of State Licensing Statute To Federal Contractors, Lee N. Abrams S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A contractor submitted a bid for construction of facilities at an Arkansas Air Force Base over which the United States had not acquired jurisdiction. After this bid was accepted by the federal government and work on the project had begun, the contractor was tried by the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and found guilty of submitting a bid, executing a contract, and commencing work as a contractor without the license required by Arkansas law. The Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court. On appeal to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed. In a brief …


Incidents Of The Government-Servant Relationship, Ivor L.M. Richardson Mar 1956

Incidents Of The Government-Servant Relationship, Ivor L.M. Richardson

Michigan Law Review

The procedures developed in the past five years to meet the threat of communist infiltration into public employment have focused attention on the position of persons working for the federal government. However, the loyalty program and the general problem of dismissal are not the only aspects of federal employment which raise important issues. Other aspects of the government-servant relationship may be of even greater importance to the civil servant in practice. For instance, what are his legal rights to his salary or to his pension if the government refuses to pay? Can he secure redress if he is suspended from …


Contracts - Offer And Acceptance - Effect Of Post Office Regulations On Adams V. Lindsell Doctrine, Norman A. Zilber S.Ed. Feb 1956

Contracts - Offer And Acceptance - Effect Of Post Office Regulations On Adams V. Lindsell Doctrine, Norman A. Zilber S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a bidder on a government contract, attempted to withdraw its bid upon discovering that it had made a mistake in its calculations. The revocation arrived at the government's office the same day the acceptance of the bid was mailed. The government's invitation to bid provided that "the successful bidder will receive Notice of Award ... and such Award will thereupon constitute a binding contract ... .'' Upon the government's refusal to recognize the revocation, the plaintiff brought suit to recover losses resulting from performance at the bid price. Held, there was no binding contract. Since the post office …


Administrative Discretion In The Award Of Federal Contracts, Arthur S. Miller Apr 1955

Administrative Discretion In The Award Of Federal Contracts, Arthur S. Miller

Michigan Law Review

For our present purposes, the point to be seen is that while this article is inquiring into the question of choice of contractor, the government is largely in control of the other chief attribute of traditional liberty of contract: the terms and conditions of the contract itself. We may thus summarize a first conclusion in the inquiry under consideration in this manner: the government is under no restraint as to many of the terms and conditions of its contracts and may impose those conditions it deems necessary. These are imposed as a result of a statute (an example of …

Contracts - Consideration - Effect Of Option To Withdraw Government Surplus Property From Sale, Arthur M. Wisehart S.Ed. Feb 1954

Contracts - Consideration - Effect Of Option To Withdraw Government Surplus Property From Sale, Arthur M. Wisehart S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The Office of Surplus Property accepted defendant's bid for a quantity of sodium carbonate. Submitted on the appropriate government form, the bid was subject to a condition which gave the government " . . . the right to withdraw from sale any property prior to the removal thereof without incurring any liability except to refund to the purchaser any amount paid with respect to the said property." Although the sodium carbonate had not been withdrawn from sale, the defendant refused to perform his promise to buy it. The government brought an action for damages, and the defense was that no …
