Replevin Of The Contents Of Safe Deposit Boxes, Beverly Douglas Jr.
Replevin Of The Contents Of Safe Deposit Boxes, Beverly Douglas Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
It is often stated that a plaintiff cannot recover in replevin' or detinue unless the defendant is in possession of the disputed goods at the commence- ment of the action. This requirement is fundamentally one of practicality. Since possession of the chattel is the primary object of an action for specific recovery, replevin is inappropriate unless the defendant is in a position to restore this possession to the plaintiff. But one may sometimes be able to put another in possession and have a duty to do so without himself having that combination of physical control and intent which the law …

The judgment debtor had some money deposited with the defendant bank in Y county on which plaintiff sought execution. The writ was directed to the sheriff of X county but was delivered to the sheriff of Y county. The writ was served on the defendant bank and the vice president of the bank made a return stating that the bank had no property in its possession, nor under …

Defendants mortgaged their farm to plaintiff and later conveyed to one Ahart, who assumed the mortgage indebtedness. In a written extension agreement between all three parties it was provided that the defendants and Ahart should be jointly and severally liable for the debt. After foreclosure proceedings were started, Ahart and the plaintiff entered into a written contract by which the plaintiff agreed to release Ahart from all personal liability on the mortgage indebtedness in consideration of a deed to the farm. Thereafter the plaintiff sought a deficiency judgment against the defendants. Held, the defendants were not discharged from their …

Mortgages - Recording - Effect Of A Mortgage Recorded In The Book Of Deeds, Paul M. Oberndorf
Michigan Law Review
An interest in certain land was mortgaged by the owners to the plaintiff in October, 1933. This same interest was subjected to a lien of certain judgment creditors recovered against the owners in July, 1936. The defendant, as assignee of the claim of the judgment creditors, claimed priority over the mortgagee by reason of the fact that the mortgage was delivered to the register for the purpose of being recorded as a deed and was in fact so recorded. The judgment creditors disclaimed all notice of this prior mortgage. The statutes of New Jersey provide that mortgages should be registered …

Subsequently Garber paid the plaintiff $2,000, and plaintiff gave him a receipt acknowledging "full satisfaction of the judgment rendered against me in the within action. The receipt of said sum is not a release of any …

Exemptions - Loss Of Homestead Exemption, Felicia I. Hmiel
Michigan Law Review
Due to inability to make a living, the defendant and his family left their homestead in 1932 with the intention of re-occupying it as soon as they secured enough money to buy the necessary equipment to maintain themselves on the farm. In October, 1937, a judgment was recovered by plaintiff against defendant, execution was issued and levy made on the still vacant homestead, and a date of sale set for June, 1939.

Mortgages - Foreclosure Sale - Possibility Of Setting Aside Sale Because Of Probable Higher Bid, James W. Mehaffy
Michigan Law Review
A trust deed secured a loan of $85,000. The mortgage was foreclosed, the trustee authorized to bid at the sale, and an upset price of $12,500 fixed. A stranger made a higher bid than the trustee, and the property was sold to him for $40,100. The trustee now seeks a resale, offering evidence to show that the property could bring $50,000 to $60,000 if the trustee bought it, remodeled the building, and had time to find a suitable purchaser. There was no question of a deficiency decree. Held, that the lower court erred in refusing to confirm the original …

Assignments -Validity Of Gratuitous Written Assignment
Michigan Law Review
Deceased took defendant, his son, to a notary and there made and acknowledged written assignments of three mortgages he owned. He handed these assignments to defendant, saying "I give you these. Put them in the safety-deposit box." Defendant went away with the assignments which reappear only after the father's death; they were found in an envelope, marked with defendant's name in deceased's hand, in a safety-deposit box owned jointly by deceased and defendant. Deceased always retained possession and enjoyment of the actual mortgage instruments. Plaintiff, another son, claims these mortgages should be part of deceased's estate. The court held that …
Vendor And Purchaser - Mortgaging Of Land By Vendor - Effect On Vendee's Duty To Continue Installment Payments
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs agreed in writing to purchase a tract of land from the defendant, the purchase price to be paid in stated installments or in full at any time at the option of the plaintiffs. Two days after the formation of the contract the defendant mortgaged the land, and about eight months later placed a second mortgage on it. Plaintiffs denied having any knowledge of the mortgages until attempts were made to foreclose them. Previous to this, however, they had defaulted in their payments. In an action in general assumpsit to recover the amount of the installments paid it was held …

Mortgages -Assignment In Good Faith After Maturity Cuts Off Prior Latent Equities
Michigan Law Review
M executed a negotiable note payable to the order of P, secured by a mortgage. After maturity, P assigned the note and mortgage without his indorsement to X for value. Y procured an assignment of these from X by fraud and in turn assigned them to Z, a purchaser without notice and for value. In Z's suit to foreclose the mortgage, X intervened, demanding the delivery of the same to himself. Held, Z's bona fide purchase cut off X's latent equity. Frank v. Brown, 255 Mich. 415, 238 N. W. 237 (1931).
Mortgages - Exchange For Deed With Option To Repurchase Or Sell To A Third Person And Take The Excess Of Purchase Money
Michigan Law Review
There is no principle more firmly established in equity than the one that the right of redemption constitutes an integral part of every mortgage. Neither by a stipulation in the mortgage itself, nor by any separate contemporaneous agreement, nor by giving a deed intended as a mortgage is it possible for the mortgagor to waive his equitable right to redeem. The application of this principle makes ineffectual the delivery of a deed in escrow at the time the note and mortgage are given, on condition that if the mortgagor does not pay his debt promptly the deed shall be delivered …
Trusts-Devices For Defeating Rights Of Creditors
Trusts-Devices For Defeating Rights Of Creditors
Michigan Law Review
Attempts to protect property rights from the claims of creditors are faced at common law with the initial objection that restraints on the power of alienation are wholly ineffective. An exception has been recognized in this country in the case of equitable interests for life or for years. This exception, criticized severely at the time it was first recognized, has established itself in the law of most states in this country, though rejected in two jurisdictions.

Mortgages-Foreclosure-Default In Interest
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff was a mortgagee of certain real property. A clause in the mortgage provided that the whole amount should become due after default for twenty days in the payment of any installment of interest. Through an arithmetical error of its clerk, the defendant corporation, owner of the equity of redemption, paid $401.87 less than the amount of interest due on one installment. The total interest due was $4621.56. The clerk discovered the error and notified the mortgagee that it would be corrected as soon as the president of the corporation, who alone was authorized to sign checks, returned from Europe. …
Reformation Of Instruments-Mistake Of Facts Underlying Intention
Reformation Of Instruments-Mistake Of Facts Underlying Intention
Michigan Law Review
A debtor determined to mortgage all his property for the benefit of several creditors. His son, commissioned to draw the instrument, was informed that a note to the plaintiff, indorsed by the debtor, would be taken care of by the party primarily liable. So he intentionally omitted the plaintiff's note from the mortgage executed to the other creditors. The note was never paid. After foreclosure of the mortgage, leaving no surplus, the plaintiff sought reformation of the mortgage so as to be included as mortgagee, claiming that the debtor's intention to secure all bank creditors was not executed through mistake …

Mortgages - Equity Jurisdiction - Personal Decrees Against The Mortgagor
Mortgages - Equity Jurisdiction - Personal Decrees Against The Mortgagor
Michigan Law Review
The Michigan supreme court recently held that the jurisdiction of equity in proceedings for the foreclosure of mortgages is governed by statute, and that equity can only render a personal decree against the mortgagor where the statute expressly permits it. This view, if correct, must be recognized as an exception to the well settled doctrine that a court of equity which has obtained jurisdiction of a controversy on any ground or for any purpose, may retain such jurisdiction for the purpose of administering complete relief. Michigan has repeatedly affirmed this general doctrine.

Mortgages-Sale Under Trust Deed Mortgage For Inadequate Price-Effect
Mortgages-Sale Under Trust Deed Mortgage For Inadequate Price-Effect
Michigan Law Review
The defendant, administrator of the estate of the mortgagee, bought the mortgaged property at the foreclosure sale for one thousand dollars. He bought for himself and not for the estate. He sold the property to a third party for three thousand five hundred dollars. The plaintiff mortgagor brought this suit to compel the defendant to account for the two thousand five hundred dollar difference between the price he paid for the property, and the amount he received for it, allowing a credit for the amount still due on the plaintiff's note-two thousand dollars. Held, where, as in this case, …
