Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Liability of Stockholders in Corporations Our courts discharge and avoid all collateral agreements not to pay, and all devices to avoid payment.1 But in England, if a man agrees to receive only paid-up shares, although the transaction exhibits the very essence of fraud, he can not be made to pay for them. His agreement stands or falls as an entirety. If it is valid, he cannot be made to pay, because it was agreed that he should not pay; if it is void, he cannot be made to pay, because he is not a share holder.2 In the view of our courts, a conveyance of shares in a failing company to an insolvent person is deemed a fraud upon the rights of creditors, and void.3 But in England such a conveyance is valid if out and out, and not a mere sham.4 In other words, if it actually passed title as between the transferor and the transferee, so that the latter does not continue to hold merely as a trustee for the former, and subject to his orders, it is a good transfer, no matter with what intent made.

It is believed that thereby the relative importance of a given case can be more easily ascertained and determined. It is also worthy of note that the dates of the cases become of great use when there is a conflict of authority. By the dates also the important facts are brought out that the law of Stock and Stockholders is of very recent origin that most Of the cases have arisen within the past fifty years; that the /law relative to stockholders' actions against directors has arisen within thirty years, and that we are as yet only on the threshold of that new jurisprudence which, though now in a formative state, is for the future to regulate the great subject of corporations having a capital stock.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Private Corporations, Vol. 1 The first edition of this work was prepared according to a plan difiering, in some Zrespects, from that fol lowed in any previous treatise on the same subject. The author was of the opinion, that the law relating to private business corporations could not be clearly understood, unless the fact were recognized that such a corporation is really an association formed by the agreement of its shareholders, and that the existence of a corporation as an entity, independently of its members, is a fiction; and that, while the fiction of a corporate entity has important uses and cannot be dis pensed with, it is nevertheless essential to bear in mind distinctly that the rights and duties of an incorporated association are, in reality, the rights and duties of the persons who compose it, and not of an imaginary be ing. An attempt was therefore made to discuss and state the entire body of the law peculiar to private business corporations from this point of view.

The former then placed the stock under its own mortgage, and, this having been foreclosed, the purchaser attacked the validity of the first-mentioned mortgage. The court sustained the mortgage, however, on the ground that all the stock had voted therefor.

This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 986 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Private Corporations IT is generally recognized that, while legislatures may endeavor to direct, courts should follow the business habits of the people, and, without thwarting what custom has found convenient, render decisions in accordance with scientifically adjusted principles of justice. Even then the law must be somewhat behind the practice of the business community; for questions cannot be litigated until the transactions giving rise to them have been engaged in, and although business men seek to act with reference to the law, occasions for novel methods of business continually arise, and novel questions come before the courts. It is clear, moreover, that though a court bring the decision of the novel point within recognized legal principles, some extension or modification of the law has occurred. And thus courts continually change the law by en deavoring to keep it abreast of the people's life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
