Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Law Merchant and Negotiability, Vol. 3 Although the actual origin of the Law Merchant is enveloped in obscurity, this much may be said with certainty, it existed in its early stages as a body of varying customs obtaining among a certain class of the population - the class of merchants. As the number of the merchants increased, so the existence of these customs became more pronounced, with the result that they gradually became of sufficient importance to be generally recognised by the king's court, and finally to be included in the general law of the land. A notable peculiarity of the Law Merchant in its earlier stages was its international character combined with its administration as purely local custom, at the same time it partook of the nature of the widest and of almost the narrowest system of law. According to Blackstone, the English common law consisted of general customs, particular customs, and customs recognised by special jurisdictions - such as that of the Admiralty courts. In the earlier stages of our legal history particular customs, where they occurred, formed a kind of local common law, which was recognised, determined, and administered by purely local courts, but it is a historical fact that the king's courts gradually extended their own jurisdiction by encroaching upon that of the local courts, and conse quently the king's judges became well acquainted with many of the more important local customs, and afterwards were prepared to accord them full judicial recognition. One of the most striking illustrations of this is to be found in the final and complete judicial recognition of the custom of gavelkind.

This book was released on 2004-12-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study traces the history of the law of bills and notes in England from medieval times to the period in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries when bills played a central role in the domestic and international financial system. It challenges the traditional theory that English commercial law developed by incorporation of the concept of negotiability and other rules from an ancient body of customary law known as the law merchant. Rogers shows that the law of bills was developed within the common law system itself, in response to changing economic and business practices. This account draws on economic and business history to explain how bills were actually used and to examine the relationship between the law of bills and economic and social controversies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Negotiable Instruments: Lecture; American Correspondence School of Law Negotiable paper includes all choses in action which were recognized as possessing the quality of transfer ability. A chose in action is the right to recover a thing as distinguished from the thing itself, including contracts and promises which confer on one party the right to recover a personal chattel or a sum of money from another by action. Under the old rule of the com mon law a chose in action was not the subject of trans fer so that the assignee thereof could sue in his own name; but a suit might be brought in equity in the name of the assignor for the benefit of the assignee, subject, however, to all rights existing between the original par ties. The inconvenience, uncertainty and delay of such a procedure led to the recognition among merchants of a custom to treat certain choses in action in the form of a written direction or promise to pay a certain sum of money to another as transferable, and enforceable by the holder in his own name and in his own right, and this custom became part of the Law Merchant, and as such was later recognized and enforced in the common law courts. Commercial paper includes all choses in action which, under the existing common law, possess the quality of transferability and embraces all evidences of indebted ness which are commonly used in the transaction of busi ness as the representatives of money for the purpose of transferring credits. As here defined, it includes negoti able and non-negotiable instruments. De Hass v. Dibert, 70 Fed. 227, 17 C. C. A. 79, 30 L. R. A. 189.

Download or read book The End of Negotiable Instruments written by James Steven Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The End of Negotiable Instruments: Bringing Payments Systems Law Out of the Past, author James Rogers challenges the basic assumptions of the law of checks and notes and its history, and provides a well-reasoned account of how the law could be changed to better suit the evolution of new payment technologies. The modern American law of payment systems is in disarray. Efforts to create a unified body of law for payment systems have so far been unsuccessful. Part of the reason for that failure is the assumption that the existing law works well for the traditional paper-based check system, and that problems have been created only by the evolution of new technologies. The End of Negotiable Instruments argues that this assumption is unfounded. The basic law of checks is itself anachronistic. There are no other books that undertake a similar analysis—there are legal treatises on the law of checks and notes, but all of them take for granted the basic assumptions challenged in this book. Several articles were published in the late twentieth century concerning the dispute over the application of certain doctrines of traditional negotiable instruments law to modern consumer finance transactions, but none of this literature went on to consider the broader question of whether there is anything worthwhile left in negotiable instruments law.
