Statutory Regulation Of Railway Equipment Agreements, Kenneth Duncan Jan 1924

Statutory Regulation Of Railway Equipment Agreements, Kenneth Duncan

Michigan Law Review

Form of Equipment Contracts. A large part of the rolling stock and equipment obtained by railroads in the United States and Canada is financed through the issue of equipment obligations. At the present time, approximately three-quarters of a billion dollars, par value, of these securities are outstanding, and they have come to constitute about six per cent. of the aggregate funded debt of railroads. Yet in spite of their large and growing importance, they are probably not as well understood as other common forms of corporate securities, and it is doubtful if many lawyers are fully cognizant of the …

Statutory Covenants For Title In Missouri, James W. Simonton Nov 1923

Statutory Covenants For Title In Missouri, James W. Simonton

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

The Missouri statute providing that the use of the words, "grant, bargain and sell", in a fee simple conveyance shall be construed as imposing on the grantor certain covenants of title, is not only interesting in respect to its history, but, as it stands at present, it appears to be different in scope from any statute on the subject in any other jurisdiction. Furthermore, this statute has been construed by the Missouri Supreme Court so that the final joint product of the legislative and the judicial branches of the state is surprising.

Artisans' Liens Competing With Claims Of Conditional Sale Vendor Or Chattel Mortgagee Nov 1923

Artisans' Liens Competing With Claims Of Conditional Sale Vendor Or Chattel Mortgagee

Michigan Law Review

The privilege of the artisan or materialman who has performed services or furnished materials in respect of a chattel in his possession to withhold such possession until paid the amount of his charges may be an effective security. Likewise, a chattel mortgagee or conditional vendor may be quite secure. But when a mortgagor or conditional vendee in possession has bailed the chattel to one whose services entitle him, either under the common law or a statute, to a lien for his charges therefor, there are plenty of chances for trouble. Liens being an invasion upon or subtraction from the totality …


Deeds--By And To Infants--Effecti Of Disaffirmance Nov 1923

Deeds--By And To Infants--Effecti Of Disaffirmance

Michigan Law Review

The disaffirmance of a contract made by an infant nullifies it and renders it void ab initio; and the parties are returned to the same condition as if the contract had never been made. Grissom v. Beidleman, 35 Okla. 343. This states the general rule both as to executed and executory contracts, and is particularly applicable to transfers of personal property. WILLISTON, CONTRACTS, § 237; PAGE, CONTRACTS, ed. 2, § 1622. Does this principle apply also to conveyances of real property? Does disaffirmance of a deed by or to an infant ipso facto nullify it and revest the …


Declarations Of Trusts And The Statute Of Uses, James L. Parks Jun 1923

Declarations Of Trusts And The Statute Of Uses, James L. Parks

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

In Neal v. Bryant: plaintiff brought a statutory action to determine and quiet title to a parcel of land known as the "Leazenby land". Defendant claimed title as residuary devisee under the will of plaintiff's father, Joseph Bryant. Testator had executed the will under which defendant claimed on July 9, 1915, and had acquired title to the land in suit on January 25, 1916. When testator obtained the land, he did not go into possession himself, but put plaintiff in possession, telling plaintiff and other that the land was not his but plaintiff's. At all times thereafter plaintiff was possessed …

Landowner V. Intruder; Intruder V. Landowner. Basis Of Responsibility In Tort., Leon Green Mar 1923

Landowner V. Intruder; Intruder V. Landowner. Basis Of Responsibility In Tort., Leon Green

Michigan Law Review

The struggle of the concept of moral blameworthiness to supplant the primitive notion that a person acts at his peril as a basis of responsibility in the field of tort touches every nook and cranny of the common law. The necessity of making use of the same procedure by which the older concept was developed has proved a great hindrance in the way of a quick and complete conquest by the notion of responsibility based upon fault. Negligence cannot yet claim a complete mastery over trespass in the field of unintended violent harms. Nevertheless, in so far as a change …


Constitutional Law--Police Power, Regulation, And Confiscation Mar 1923

Constitutional Law--Police Power, Regulation, And Confiscation

Michigan Law Review

Whether the power be taken away directly, or be deadened and atrophied in its action by adverse criticism and demagogic clamor, when the judiciary no longer feel at liberty to construe the provisions of the fundamental Law 'in the light of reason,' constitutional government, in the sense in which it has been understood for a century and a half, will be at an end, and the doctrine of the police power will have been swallowed up in the capacious maw of unrestrained democracy." 27 HARV. L. REV. 316. Mr. Wickersham penned this warning during the period when the swell of …


Rights Of Finders, Ralph W. Aigler Jan 1923

Rights Of Finders, Ralph W. Aigler

Articles

Much of the confusion and uncertainty in the law regarding the topic indicated above is due to a failure to distinguish between several types of situations and to appreciate the applicability of certain fundamental principles. The words "lost" and "find" are used in such widely varying senses that the all too common method of reaching a conclusion by first applying a name to a thing or situation has in this particular field led to special difficulty.


The Law Of Property Act, 1922, Joseph Warren Jan 1923

The Law Of Property Act, 1922, Joseph Warren

Michigan Law Review

The English law of property legislation, which has been pending for over two years, was passed June 29 last. It will take effect January 1, 1925. For a century the reform of the law of real property has been a burning question in England-far more so than with us. Judges, lawyers, solicitors, conveyancing experts have all taken an active part. Learned societies have spoken through committees and royal commissions have reported. Piece by piece many of the antiquities have been abolished. But no reform is as far-reaching as the present act. In January, 1919, the Acquisition and Valuation of Land …

Perpetuity Statutes, Edwin C. Goddard Jan 1923

Perpetuity Statutes, Edwin C. Goddard

Articles

THE common law of perpetuities is one of the most interesting examples of almost pure judicial legislation. De Donis, The Statutes of Uses and of Wills, but gave wider scope to the development by the courts of rules of law to thwart the attempt of the great landowners to tie up their landed estates in their families in perpetuity. One body of rules to this end limited restraints upon alienation, another the creation of future interests vesting at too remote a period. Restriction of restraints upon alienation, and the rule against perpetuities, these two were developed for the same end, …
