Corporations -- Effect Of Statements Made In Stock Prospectus, Law Review Staff
Corporations -- Effect Of Statements Made In Stock Prospectus, Law Review Staff
Vanderbilt Law Review
In the case of United Funds, Inc. v. Carter Products, Inc.,' the City Circuit Court of Baltimore, Maryland, handed down a decision which" broke new legal ground." The case, involving the effect of statements made in stock prospect uses on a corporation's future actions, has provoked surprisingly little discussion by legal commentators, and none at all on the "new" ground it broke. The purpose of this comment is to examine the Carter Products decision, to attempt to place it in proper legal perspective, and finally to evaluate it as a new development in the law.
Securities Regulation-Applicability Of Exchange Act Section 10(B) To Transaction Effected By Means Of Intrastate Telephone Call, Michael A. Warner
Securities Regulation-Applicability Of Exchange Act Section 10(B) To Transaction Effected By Means Of Intrastate Telephone Call, Michael A. Warner
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff alleged that he had been defrauded in a sale of securities to the defendant. Plaintiff attempted to invoke section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1984, which prohibits various fraudulent practices in securities trading. In order to state a cause of action under 10(b), it was necessary for plaintiff to allege that a means or instrumentality of interstate commerce had been used directly or indirectly in connection with the sale. The sale in this case had been effected through telephone conversations over wires located within the city of Philadelphia. However, the wires carrying the calls could be used …

Initial Capitalization And Financing Of Corporations, Chester Rohrlich
Initial Capitalization And Financing Of Corporations, Chester Rohrlich
Vanderbilt Law Review
Since one of the varied uses to which stock purchase options maybe put is as a means of raising, or facilitating the raising, of capital, we deem it appropriate to direct attention to them. Like so many instrumentalities, they are subject to abuse and raise some difficulties, but used honestly and with discretion, they do represent a means (a) of compensating promoters and underwriters and retaining their continuing interest in the financial success of the corporation, (b) of adding speculative attraction to the security with which it is issued, or, less frequently, (c) of raising funds by direct and independent …
Fifteen-Year Survey Of Corporate Developments, 1944-1959, Miguel A. De Capriles
Fifteen-Year Survey Of Corporate Developments, 1944-1959, Miguel A. De Capriles
Vanderbilt Law Review
The foregoing survey, it is believed, amply demonstrates the kaleidoscopic variety of the corporate developments of the past fifteen years, even though for obvious reasons much of the detail has had to be omitted. General conclusions are difficult to draw. It seems likely that the success of capitalist enterprise in this, period and the self-imposed improvement in standards of corporate. Fanchon & Marco, Inc. v. Paramount Pictures, 202 F.2d 731 (2d Cir. management have retarded the underlying trend toward expansion of the role of government in the regulation of economic affairs. There has been no occasion for new dramatic statutory …
Business Associations--1959 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal
Business Associations--1959 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Eighty-first General Assembly enacted a considerable number of significant statutes affecting business organizations or their activities. One of the new statutes made important changes in the Securities Law of 1955. Several of the statutes were designed, or at least professed to be designed, to encourage the commercial and industrial development of Tennessee. On the other hand, Tennessee courts handed down during the survey period only two or three opinions touching on business associations questions, and those questions were of but little importance. In general, this article discusses the statutes first, then the judicial decisions.
Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Treatment Of Gains From Commodity Futures Transactions Of Manufacturing Consumer, Neil Flanagin S.Ed.
Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Treatment Of Gains From Commodity Futures Transactions Of Manufacturing Consumer, Neil Flanagin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Taxpayer, a manufacturer of products made from corn, purchased and sold corn futures contracts as a part of its regular buying program in order to protect itself against a possible shortage of raw materials. Taxpayer contended that the gains realized on these transactions should receive capital asset treatment. The Tax Court and the court of appeals held that the gains constituted ordinary income. On appeal, held, affirmed. The transactions, though not true hedges, were entered into for business purposes and as an integral part of taxpayer's operations. Consequently, they should be treated the same as hedges, and the gains …
Responsibilities In The Transfer Of Stock, Francis T. Christy
Responsibilities In The Transfer Of Stock, Francis T. Christy
Michigan Law Review
During the past few years there have been increasing efforts on the part of a number of organized groups to establish statutory definitions of the responsibilities of corporations and their transfer agents in the transfer of stock. Among these groups are the Commission on Uniform State Laws, which sponsored the Uniform Fiduciaries Act, the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, which have jointly produced the new Uniform Commercial Code, the Committee on Simplification of Security Transfers of the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of the American Bar Association, of which Committee …

Securities - Rights Of Used Car Purchasers Under Trust Receipt Financing, Walter H. Weiner S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The recent enactment of the Uniform Trust Receipts Act: by the Michigan legislature was an important and much needed revision in the Michigan law of chattel security. Although the UTRA has been referred to as a " . . . perplexing maze of technical phrases ... ," it is submitted that the act contains a clear presentation of the changes which are to be effected, and should go far in freeing the financing of goods in the flow of commerce from some anachronistic shackles. The particular intent of this comment is to explore the impact of the UTRA and other …
Taxation - Commerce Clause - Tax By Seller State On Contract To Sell Interstate, Walter B. Connolly
Taxation - Commerce Clause - Tax By Seller State On Contract To Sell Interstate, Walter B. Connolly
Michigan Law Review
Appellants were partners in the securities business with offices in New York City. In the course of their business they agreed to sell shares of stock to two firms, one engaged in business in Philadelphia, the other in Washington, D. C. The securities were mailed to banks in Philadelphia and Washington for delivery upon payment of sight drafts attached. Under the tax law of the state of New York, a tax was levied on the sale of this stock. Appellants sought a refund of the tax on the ground that the statute imposed an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce. Held …

Constitutional Law -Validity Of Registration Provisions Of Public Utility Holding Company Act Of 1935, Gerald L. Stoetzer
Constitutional Law -Validity Of Registration Provisions Of Public Utility Holding Company Act Of 1935, Gerald L. Stoetzer
Michigan Law Review
In recognition of the abuses that arise from the monopolistic tendencies of holding companies in the public utility field and of the inability of the respective states to exert the necessary control thereof, Congress has attempted to draw certain of the public utility holding companies within the inquisitorial and regulatory control of the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, reciting in great detail facts showing the necessity for control of holding companies having as subsidiaries electric and gas operating utilities, indicates that Congress regarded the uncontrolled utility holding company as "an agency which, …

Corporations-Stock Conversion-Obligation Of Interstate Carrier
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, holding preferred stock of the defendant railroad convertible into common stock, sought to exercise his right of conversion, and on the railroad's failure to comply, filed the present suit for damages. The answer set up as an affirmative defense that the defendant, an interstate common carrier, is subject to the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission; by the 1920 amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U. S. C. A. sec. 20a, it was made unlawful for any carrier to issue stock except by the Commission's sanction; on Feb. 7, 1927, for the first time demand was made for …

The Law School -As a result of the increased requirements for admission, which are now in their second year of operation, the attendance at the Law School is less than that of last year, though the decrease is less than was anticipated at the time of the adoption of the higher requirements. The entering class (the second, under the new standard) is about thirty larger than that of last year. There are no changes in the teaching staff, and none of great importance in the curriculum.
