COMMENTS FORMAL REQUIREMENTS OF PLEDGE UNDER LOUISIANA CIVIL CODE ARTICLE 3158 AND RELATED ARTICLES' According to the scholar Denis, "[t]he pledge springs from natural law and is of the farthest antiquity;" it secured debts "in the primitive relations of men." ' 2 Although the specific beginnings are unknown, fre- quent mention of the pledge in ancient texts evidences its early application3 and points to at least one conclusion: that in its earliest stages of development, formalities of pledge were much simpler, albeit more dra- matic, than those of today. Herodotus, in his Histories, explains that a debtor in ancient Egypt would deliver the mummy of his father to his creditor, who was quite willing to make a loan on this basis. 4 Since the mummy was of great religious value to the debtor, he would certainly pay the debt in order to redeem the pledge. In ancient Athens and Rome, the mechanics of pledge were similarly simple: the debtor and creditor contracted that, upon default of the loan, the debtor would become the slave of the creditor until the debt was repaid.

SECURITY INTERESTS UNDER PLEDGE AGREEMENTS THE extent to which security law in responding to the ned of business practice nmust reconcile conflicting commercial foirces is illustrated Iby the doctrinal history of the pledge. Both parties to a credit transaction frequently desire, for reasons of expense or business expediency, that the security reb be retained by the borrower. On the other hand, third persons may demand notice of the lender's security interest in order to guide their course uf dealing with the debtor.' The search for a mean proves particularly difficult when the parties avail themselves of the pledge device. Once borrower and lender select its simple formula in order to avoid the requirements sur- rounding such alternative devices as the chattel mortgage and conditional sale, the courts respond to the demand of third persons for notice by com- pelling the lender to take possession of the property as a condition precedent 1.

    Business law- B.Com II semester Topic- Contract of bailment and pledge By- Dr Sunita Srivastava, Department of commerce, University of Lucknow Contract of Bailment And Pledge Meaning of bailment- The word ‘Bailment’ is derived from French word ‘baillier’ which means to deliver. According to sec 14, a “Bailment’ is the delivery of goods by one person to another for some purpose, with a condition to return the goods when the purpose is over or otherwise disposed off according to the direction of the person delivering them. Parties in bailment contract Bailor- The person delivering the goods is called the bailor. Bailee- The person to whom the goods are delivered is called the bailee. Example: - 1. Mr. X who is going out of station delivers a dog to Mr. Y for proper care. 2. Mr. A hires a horse for riding. 3. Mr. A deliver watch for repair. 4. Mr. A gives a cloth to his tailor for stitching. Essential Elements of a valid bailment Agreement between bailor and bailee Delivery of goods Ownership not change Only movable goods Delivery for some purpose Change in forms Return of goods There must be an agreement between the bailor and bailee. This agreement may be express or implied. However, a bailment may be implied by law as it happens in the case of finder of lost goods. In bailment, it is necessary that the goods should be delivered to the bailee. It is the essence of the contract of bailment. It is further necessary that the possession of the goods should be voluntarily transferred and is in the accordance with the contract.

MINNESOTA LAW REVIEW Vol. 6 FEBRUARY, 1922 No. 3 THE RIGHTS OF A PLEDGOR ON TRANSFERS OF A PLEDGE By JAMES LE:wIS PARKS* N certain communities, personal property of one kind or another is frequently deposited by way of pledge or pawn to secure the performance of an obligation. The question as to the rights of the pledgor and pledgee in the property, both before and after the maturity' of the debt is of importance, and the results flowing from an improper and illegal transfer of the pledge by the pledgee are often complicated. It is, accordingly, proposed in the following pages to consider transactions involving transfers of the property by the pledgee, and to endeavor to formulate the rules which regulate the rights and obligations of the parties in this respect. According to Story's definition, which has been universally accepted, a pledge or pawn

The minority position, as expressed in separate concurring opinions by Justices Harlan and Stewart, was that the state conviction should be reversed because absence of an opportunity to confront and cross-examine the witness, through counsel, was a denial of due process of law guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment, but that the fourteenth amendment should be controlling in- dependently of the sixth. Justice Harlan argued that the Court had not incorporated the first eight amendments in toto was evidence that not all of the provisions of the Bill of Rights are fundamental, 3 2 yet the Court ignored the possibility that all parts of any one provision may not necessarily be fundamental. The traditional and indispensable diversity of the federal system, subject of course to due process of law, was also alluded to by Justice Harlan as a reason not to bind the states rigidly in the area of criminal law enforcement.

  • Customary Pledge of Land in Nigeria
    International Journal of Innovative Legal & Political Studies 7(2):25-30, April-June, 2019 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2019 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2467-8503 Customary Pledge Of Land In Nigeria Okafor, Samuel Obumneme Esq LLB, BL, LLM, Notary Public Senior Lecturer, Department of Business Law, Faculty of Law, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Agbani-Enugu State, Nigeria Aduaka Charles Emenogha Esq LLM, BL, Ph.D Senior Lecturer, Department of International Law & Jurisprudence, Faculty of Law, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Agbani-Enugu State, Nigeria ABSTRACT Pledge of land under the native law and custom could easily be mistaken for customary tenancy as the two transactions are very similar but yet highly divergent in many ways. Economics and other domestic needs may lead to a landowner giving out the possession of his land upon a pledge and while he gives out possession, retains title very much in the same way as the overlord under a customary tenancy arrangement. The rules and characteristic of customary pledge were based mainly on the degree of trust which people had in one another in the olden days under the customary setting. Today however, most pledges of land have due to long possession resorted to adverse claims over the pledged land against the pledgors which has resulted to needless and avoidable litigations over conquest for title. The peculiar nature of the customary pledge and the ease with which it could be exploited by the unscrupulous pledgee to attempt to expropriate the pledgor of his interest in the land has brought up the need to examine the nature of customary pledge and appreciate its reassuring peculiar characteristics which have refused to yield to the schemes of the greedy and to give them a leeway to foreclose redemption.

  • The Extent and Significance of Debt Slavery
    R. franc, social, 43, Supplement, 2002, 173-204 Alain TESTART The Extent and Significance of Debt Slavery Abstract The phenomenon of debt slavery has either been greatly underestimated or, on the con trary, overestimated through confusion with other ways of dealing with the debtor, like pawn ing, for instance, or the possibility of reimbursing debt through labor. After carefully defining debt slavery, the article shows how widespread it has been, and explains its social- significance as follows: inequalities between rich and poor, already present in most primi tivesocieties, may be redefined in terms of masters and slaves. The transformation, or threa tened transformation, of a debtor into a slave considerably strengthens the power of the dominant. The article concludes with a hypothesis about the origins of the state. For reasons that will not be elucidated here, the extent of debt slavery, par ticularly in primitive societies, has been seriously underestimated. (1) We much too readily take for granted the idea that war was the main, if not exclu sive, source of slaves, and slavery. The following two examples should enable us to free ourselves of this notion. In the case of the Yurok Indians living in what is now northwestern California, war slavery was so infrequent that Kroeber himself, our main authority on this population, denied its existence. (2) He did point out another type of "slavery" (further on I shall examine whether this is the appropriate term), well-known among these people, and resulting from insolvent debt. After application of a highly developed system of fines, whoever had broken a taboo, especially rel ative to mourning, or offended a man, accidentally caused a fire, or destroyed wealth, had to provide compensation in the form of appropriate payment; if he was unable to do so, he was put into a form of bondage to the injured party.

Mauer Ph.D.-candidate Roman Law and Juristic Papyrology, Leiden University, Department of Legal History, Steenschuur 25, 2311 ES Leiden [email protected] Summary The authors examine how papyrological sources from Roman Egypt written in Greek on antichresis relate to classical Roman law. Antichresis attested in papyrological anti- chretic contracts had a lot in common with antichresis emerging from Roman dispute resolutions. There was only one substantive difference: in classical Roman law, protec- tion of the debtor was emphasized, whereas in the Greek papyrological antichretic con- tracts the position of the creditor was favoured. Given the similarities found, the authors conclude that antichretic loan both as an independent legal institution and as a pactum antichreticum was a pan-Mediterranean legal concept.
