Dearle Vs Hall Case: The Rule Of Dearle V Hall
The rule of Dearle v Hall further provides that a notice must be given to a debtor, trustee or any other holder of the fund according to the circumstances of the fund. Therefore the performance to the legal or equitable obligation that has been subjected to the assignment lies with the person who receives the notice as the assignor and the person who gives the notice as the assignee. In the circumstances where there are more than one trustees, a notice to one of them becomes effective whether such trustee notifies the other trustees or not. The rule also applies even when circumstantially the trustee who receives the initial notice ceases the capacity as a trustee through death or retirement without having communicated to the co-trustees the …show more content…
From this perspective the awareness of a preceding assignment by the assignee makes it difficult for the assignee to attain priority over the preceding assignment even where the debtor has been notified by the subsequent assignee. In a situation where the receivable had been assigned and notification for the assignment received by the debtor prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings, the law provides that the assignee has priority over the rights to the assignment held by the insolvency administrator. This position of the law thus may be argued to be rigorous and cumbersome prima facie in that the potential assignee or assignees of the receivable would have to enquire from the debt holder with high level of accuracy and timeliness in response from such debtor whether there are any assignments to the receivables prior to their assignment. The said debtor is expected to know and give with accuracy the receivables that have already been …show more content…
In such a situation the potential assignee or assignees will find it difficult to identify the debtors. The system of requiring the assignees to first gather information whether the receivables have been assigned therefore becomes a costly exercise for the assignees causing inefficiency and losses in the business of receivables. In the area of assignment of receivables, the English law has been fragmented to cater for assignments by companies and individuals where it provides that the assignments by a company is registrable only if such assignment is by way of security over book debts. Under the English law, an assignment by way of sale is not registrable. However the law does not restrict the registration of assignments by individuals irrespective of the type. In the effort to harmonise the registration of assignments, the Law commission has given recommendations in its report in support for the registration of assignments by companies as well. This position has serious implications while viewed in the perspective of charge over receivable which is practically similar to the sale of receivables. Just like the charge over receivables is registrable, the sale of receivables should also be allowed and implemented to avoid the ensuing implication of non-registration. Failure to register the sale of receivables results to reliance by the assignee on representations of the

    The facts of this case were that the taxpayer (and three others in partnership) entered a complex scheme, which involved the partnership, and annuity and loan arrangements. The scheme was financed through a series of "round robin" cheques and promised substantial deductions in the first five years of the 15-year plan. A number of documents were exchanged but no cash payments were made. This was calculated to return neutral cash flows with high tax deductions initially and high assessable income, especially in the last five years. A feature of the scheme was that there was an opportunity to terminate it in the last five years. In the relevant year the partnership derived assessable income of $170,000 and claimed deductions of $360,000.…

    The case here is referred to as whether the business carries on by Kem Weichoreak Kang-Kem, plaintiff, and Marilyn Jean Paine, defendant, was carried on in common and whether the partnership exists. Judge Barrett J compared the evidence coming out of this case to s.1(1) of the Partnership Act 1892 that defines partnership as the relation which exists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit and also compares to s.2 of the Act that determines the rules for the existence of partnership. Barrett J found that it was the plaintiff who wished to open the restaurant and expressed it to the defendant in November 1991. He also told the defendant he had no money because of the failed business venture that had caused him to become a bankrupt. She kept him, paying his personal expenses and when the plaintiff expressed an interest in opening a restaurant, she was prepared to help him with the venture as it would be in the interests of both of them if he could find something at which he could prosper financially. Having reviewed the evidence concerning both the Junction restaurant and the Lake restaurant, Barrett J also found that the plaintiff represented the Junction restaurant to have been owned solely by the defendant until about 1997 and the proprietorship, in terms of enjoyment of "operating rights" passed to him thereafter under an arrangement which included a sublease of the premises, the defendant remaining the lessee at all times. After that change, he represented himself as sole owner of the Junction restaurant. Also the defendant alone was the lessee of the premises at the Lake and was the licensee under the Liquor Act. The funds used to establish the Junction restaurant were, to the extent of $100,000, provided by the defendant by way of loan to the plaintiff. The funds used to establish the Lake restaurant were borrowed, to the extent of some $115,000, by the plaintiff and the defendant as joint borrowers. Barrett J stated that the…

    In Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court accepted that the “critical mass” concept was not an “outright racial balancing”, where race was used as a factor in the admission process (Alexander 151). Therefore, the Court held that diversity is a compelling interest for the University of Michigan Law School as long as race is not the only factor considered for admission. In addition, the Court concluded that the “benefits of diversity are substantial” and “promotes cross racial understanding, helps to break down racial stereotypes, and enables students to better understand persons of difference races” (Chemenrisky 772). Moreover, “the Court accepted the university’s argument that the education of all students is enhanced with a diverse student body”…

    Every case starts with an alleged crime. In the Sandoval case, the crime was murder. Sandoval was soon put into the system after he was arrested. After the arrest, Sandoval would have been book and then gone to his first appearance hearing where he is informed that he was getting charged with first-degree murder. Next would be the preliminary hearing where the defense would have received an arraignment, formally charging the suspect of the crime and asking what his plea is. Some states do not have a preliminary hearing system so they would use a grand jury system. The defendant can plea guilty, not guilty or no contest. The prosecution must establish probable cause to the judge by showing that a crime occurred and that the accused cause that…
