Corporations - Right Of Shareholder Under Uniform Stock Transfer To Have Shares Transferred Contrary To Corporation By-Laws, Lawrence N. Ravick S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The defendant, a Michigan corporation, adopted a "constitution" (by-laws) which contained the following provisions: " ... no member shall be allowed to own more than five shares of stock at any one time." This restriction was not written into the articles of incorporation or printed upon the stock certificates. Plaintiff was at one time the president and director of the defendant corporation. While an officer, he acquired twenty-five shares of stock, having at the time full knowledge of the by-law provisions. When he was no longer an officer, plaintiff purchased an additional share of defendant's capital stock and requested the …

Corporations - De Facto Existence - Necessity Of Good Faith Attempt To Incorporate Under And Of Colorable Compliance With Incorporation Statute, Richard R. Dailey
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, a purported holding corporation, was organized in 1922 before the enactment of a state statute authorizing such corporations. The articles of incorporation stated that the purpose of the corporation was "to acquire, own and hold" shares of stock in a realty company. There was actual user of corporate power by the defendant under this attempted incorporation until the time of this suit in 1954. The legislature in 1941 amended the incorporation statute to authorize incorporation of a holding company, but no action was taken by the defendant pursuant to this amended statute. In an action for a declaratory judgment, …

Corporations-Power Of Legislature To Revive Corporate Charter, John S. Slavens S.Ed
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, a New York corporation, was engaged in operating steamboats for sightseeing purposes below Niagara Falls. Defendant was incorporated in 1892 for a term of fifty years, the maximum then permitted by statute. Through inadvertence the charter was not renewed in 1942. The corporation continued in its regular course of business, and in 1947 when the oversight was discovered, the board of directors, with the approval of three-fourths of the shareholders, immediately revived the corporation under a statutory provision enacted in 1944. Plaintiffs, shareholders of the corporation, claimed that application of the provision was an unconstitutional deprivation of their rights …
Trends In Modern Corporation Legislation, Kenneth K. Luce
Trends In Modern Corporation Legislation, Kenneth K. Luce
Michigan Law Review
Any discussion of trends and developments in modem corporation legislation must assume some understanding of the historical antecedents of that legislation and the judicial approach to its interpretation. As a practical matter the outline of modern legislation has emerged within the memory of living men, but "in order to know what it is, we must know what it has been, and what it tends to become." The state is less concerned today than long ago about the corporation becoming a state within the state and usurping political power, although such concern could and does evidence itself from time to time. …

Corporations - Alteration Of Charter Under Reserved Power - Change In Remedy To Enforce Stockholders' Liability, Michigan Law Review
Corporations - Alteration Of Charter Under Reserved Power - Change In Remedy To Enforce Stockholders' Liability, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The constitution of Maryland of I 867 provided that owners of bank stock should be liable for debts of the corporation to an extent equal to the value of the stock owned by them. The bank in which the defendants owned stock was organized under legislation of 1870 containing the provision, "this act and every part of it may be altered from time to time, or repealed by the legislature." The Maryland court held that, while the constitution provided no remedy, the right was conferred on each creditor in his individual capacity to be enforced by separate suits against those …
Revenue Financing Of Public Enterprises, E. H. Foley Jr.
Revenue Financing Of Public Enterprises, E. H. Foley Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Courts have been slow to take judicial notice of the growing needs of local communities. Legislatures have restrained municipal corporations from engaging in business enterprises upon the assumption that the object was mere hope of gain, that the investment of municipal funds in such enterprises was simply a speculation, or that the effect was to divert municipal corporations from their legitimate ends and to poach upon the preserves of private enterprise. Novel municipal undertakings have been feared as an entering wedge of state socialism or governmental paternalism. Even when the instrumentality of private adventure was disposed to leave a need …

Domestic Corporate Tangible And Intangible Invested Capital, Frederick M. Thulin
Domestic Corporate Tangible And Intangible Invested Capital, Frederick M. Thulin
Michigan Law Review
With a tax law on the statute books that fixes a moderate flat rate of taxation on business income, no question of invested capital need be considered. The income tax laws of 1913 and 1916 and the flat rate or normal tax section of the 1917 law and the proposed 1918 law bear out this statement.
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Federal Incorporation, Myron W. Watkins
Michigan Law Review
Since the beginning of our national history the Constitution, which is essentially the source of the law rather than its framework, has with more or less promptitude fulfilled the function of sanctioning new rules of action which will permit a fairly symmetrical institutional development in the face of the changing conditions of the environment in which the people live and think and act. Always the habits of the people are changing, always the situation facts are being modified, and the Constitution in its widest and truest meaning but provides the means whereby thru this flux the body of the people …

Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick
Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick
Michigan Law Review
At last Great Britain has legalized Limited Partnership. More than a quarter of a century ago, Sir Frederick Pollock called attention to the fact that the United Kingdom was almost the only civilized country of the world which had not adopted this institution. The remark was made in an address devoted to an explanation of a bill, which he had drafted, to cover the entire subject of partnership. Long before this, the economical advantages of limited partnership had been set forth by John Stuart Mill and other writers; and repeated attempts had been made to secure a statute legalizing this …

Limits To State Control Of Private Business, Thomas M. Cooley
Limits To State Control Of Private Business, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
The present purpose is to inquire whether, in the matter of the regulation of property rights and of business, legislation has not of late been occupying doubtful, possibly unconstitutional grounds. The discussion in the main must be limited to fundamental.-principles, aided by such light as legal and constitutional history may throw upon them, since the express provisions of the constitutions can give little assistance. They always contain the general guaranty of due process of law to life, liberty, and property, but in other particulars they for the most part leave protection to principles which have come from the common law. …
