Corporations-Preparation Of Stockholders' List-Statutory Provision Jan 1931

Corporations-Preparation Of Stockholders' List-Statutory Provision

Michigan Law Review

On a petition challenging the legality of an election of directors at a special meeting, one of the contentions was that calling this meeting on five days' notice violated section 29 of the Delaware General Corporation Act, as amended by 36 Del. Laws, c. 135, sec. 15, which provided that a list of stockholders entitled to vote be made by the officer in charge, ten days before every election. Held, this is not grounds for avoiding the election; the provisions of the statute are directory only, and where a by-law of the corporation required five days' notice for special …

Crimes - Venue- Non-Support, Abandonment, And Desertion

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was divorced by his wife in A county in 1926. In 1929, defendant was indicted for non-support of his children, in B county, where his former wife and the children had maintained their home since the divorce. An objection to the venue was raised by the defense, on the ground that, if a crime was committed, it was consummated in A county, where defendant had been living during the time he was charged with non-support. Held, that "the venue of non-support is where that support should be rendered." State v. Anderson (Or. 1930) 290 Pac. 1904

Crimes-Former Jeopardy-Prosecution In Two Counties For A Continuous Act Jan 1931

Crimes-Former Jeopardy-Prosecution In Two Counties For A Continuous Act

Michigan Law Review

Defendants transported liquor by a single, uninterrupted act from A county to B county in the same state. Having been convicted and fined in B county for the transportation within its boundaries, they were later indicted in A county for that part of the transportation which took place in that territory. A plea of former jeopardy was sustained by the trial judge, and on appeal this holding was affirmed by a divided court, which held, the act constituted a single offense, punishable in either county, but not in both. State v. Shimman et al. (Ohio, 1930) 172 N.E. 367.

Pleading And Practice Under The Revised Code, Lawrence R. Lynch Dec 1930

Pleading And Practice Under The Revised Code, Lawrence R. Lynch

West Virginia Law Review

In a paper of limited length such as this necessarily must be, it is impracticable to discuss or even to mention many of the changes in pleading and practice contained in the Revised Code. For that reason this discussion will be confined primarily to some important and interesting changes in Chapter 56, entitled "Pleading and Practice." At the outset it may be said that the revisers have retained the common law system of pleading and procedure. They declined follow in the steps of those jurisdictions which have adopted what is known as code pleading and practice. Such changes as the …

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Statutory Interpretation As Judicial Legislation Dec 1930

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Statutory Interpretation As Judicial Legislation

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff brought suit in Missouri to enjoin collection of taxes alleged to be discriminatory, basing his claim for equitable relief on the absence of any other remedy. The supreme court of Missouri dismissed the bill, without hearing on the substantive question, on the ground that there existed, under a state statute, an adequate remedy in appeal to the state tax commission. Previously the court had denied, in several cases, that the statute gave such a right, and had allowed equitable relief in one case on that ground. When the decision in the principal case was rendered, it was too late …

Constitutional Law -Elections - Constitutionality Of The Corrupt Practices Act-The Kohler Case Dec 1930

Constitutional Law -Elections - Constitutionality Of The Corrupt Practices Act-The Kohler Case

Michigan Law Review

The relator brought an action to test the right of the defendant Kohler to the office of governor of the state of Wisconsin, asserting that his election was invalid for violation of the Corrupt Practices Act, particularly in that he had expended more than $100,000 for political purposes in violation of the provision of the act limiting such expenditures for candidates for governor to $4,000. The defendant demurred to the petition, asserting that the Corrupt Practices Act is void and unconstitutional as applied to the governor because (1) the statute seeks to prescribe either qualifications for the office of governor …

Corporations - Directors - Power Of Shareholders To Fill Vacancies

Michigan Law Review

One of a directorate of three having resigned in the middle of his term, a special stockholders' meeting was called to fill the vacancy, and defendant was elected to finish the term. The relator, a stockholder and director, brought a writ of quo warranto to oust the defendant on the ground that the Corporation Act (ch. 32, sec. 21, par. 5, Ill. Rev. Stat. Cahill, 1929) provided that "the directors shall fill all vacancies which may happen in the board * * * by death, resignation, or otherwise, until the next annual meeting of the stockholders," and that therefore the …

Necesssity Of Notice To A Municipal Corporation To Render It Liabile For Defects In Its Streets, Phyllis Cavender Jan 1930

Necesssity Of Notice To A Municipal Corporation To Render It Liabile For Defects In Its Streets, Phyllis Cavender

Washington Law Review

A municipal corporation is not an insurer of its streets; and is not obliged to so construct and maintain them as to secure absolute nnmunity from any danger in using them. Generally stated, its duty is to exercise ordinary care to keep them in a reasonably safe condition for public travel; this duty being in some states imposed by statute, and in others, arising by mere implication. The Washington rule is well illustrated by the case of Sutton v. Snohomish, in which the court said: "Where a city has exclusive control and management of its streets with power to raise …

The Illinois Appellate Courts-Are They Satisfactory? May 1929

The Illinois Appellate Courts-Are They Satisfactory?

Michigan Law Review

The instantaneous answer of "Yes" to this question was given by every Illinois attorney the writer asked while gathering material for this article, and undoubtedly that would be the answer of an overwhelming percentage of the Illinois Bar. In the Constitutional Convention of 1920 in Illinois, not one of the fifty odd lawyer members ever questioned their expediency in all the debates on the judiciary article. And much can, of course, be said in their favor. They relieve the supreme court of a great burden of work. They are closer at hand than the supreme court to most of the …

Municipal Corporations-Methods Of Detaching Outlying Districts Mar 1929

Municipal Corporations-Methods Of Detaching Outlying Districts

Michigan Law Review

Since the power to restrict boundaries is legislative in nature, territory which has once become part of an incorporated community can be detached only by the authority of a statute, and the corporation, the courts, and even the people are powerless to act unless so authorized. 1. DILLON, MUNCIPAL CORPORATIONS, 4th ed. sec. 356. But when the town is booming and each farmer sees himself swept into wealth by the subdivision and sale of his property, who worries about detaching land? It is only when the boom has passed and the farmer finds himself still engaged in agriculture, and burdened …

The Status Of A Municipal Corporation Organized Under An Unconstitutional Statute, Oliver P. Field Mar 1929

The Status Of A Municipal Corporation Organized Under An Unconstitutional Statute, Oliver P. Field

Michigan Law Review

A municipal corporation has governmental as well as proprietary functions to perform. It differs from a private corporation in that its primary functions are governmental. Municipal corporations are usually spoken of as legal persons, or entities, in the same sense that private corporations are, but in studying them it must always be borne in mind that the main purpose for which most of them are created is that they may perform certain governmental functions.
