Futures Debt Dismissed If No Delivery In Futures Trading
The federal court of appeals ruled that a debt from futures trading with no delivery or receipt of the commodity cannot be collected. Judge John A. Pardee announced the decision, reversing a Georgia district court verdict. The case, involving broker D W Adams and Waldo L Clement for 10000 dollars, treats such margins as gambling and void where gambling debts are invalid by state law. The ruling sends the case back for a new trial.
