Re-he-he-ally? I hope that makes its way online, whether video or text.
(oh, and yours as well, Prof Long!)
Michael, email me and I’ll be glad to send you what I’ve got. The oral-delivery version is short and fairly rough (the plan is that these will become chapters of a bigger collection we’re putting together).
Agreed. I am also very interested in hearing/reading Roderick’s ““Enforceability of Interest Under a Title-Transfer Theory of Contract””
As I recently emailed Roderick, I do not believe I will be able to comment on the session he is chairing, since it’s scheduled on a day when I teach two classes at SCU. I agreed to participate last year, before there was a schedule, and as far as I can tell by looking over my email archive I was never informed of when the session had ended up being scheduled.
Perhaps we can do it at some other time and place in the future.
Well as I understand it title-transfer theory wouldn’t necessarily cover interest at all, so it would be more or less just through agreement and informal convention that loans could be made in that framework.
