Buck Act

So in 1940, Congress passed the “Buck Act” 4 U.S.C.S. 104-113. In Section 110(e), this
Act allowed any department of the federal government to create a “Federal Area” for
imposition of the Public Salary Tax Act of 1939, the imposition of this tax is at 4 U.S.C.S.
section 111, and the rest of the taxing law is in Title 26, The Internal Revenue Code. The
Social Security Board had already created an overlay of a “Federal Area.”

Replevin

Replevin (/rɪˈplɛvɪn/) or claim and delivery (sometimes called revendication) is a legal remedy, which enables a person to recover personal property taken wrongfully or unlawfully, and to obtain compensation for resulting losses.[1]

Etymology[edit]

The word “replevin” is of Anglo-Norman origin and is the noun form of the verb “replevy”. This comes from the Old French replevir, derived from plevir (“to pledge”), which is derived from the Latin replegiare (“to redeem a thing taken by another”).

Nature[edit]

In The Law of Torts, John Fleming has written:
From medieval times, there has also come down to us a summary process, known as replevin, by which a man out of whose possession goods have been taken may obtain their return until the right to the goods can be determined by a court of law. Replevin arose out of the need of a turbulent society to discourage resort to self help and although for a long time primarily used in disputes about distress between landlord and tenant, it was gradually expanded to cover all cases of allegedly wrongful dispossession. If the plaintiff wanted return of his chattel in specie, replevin was a more appropriate remedy than either trespass or trover in which only damages could be recovered. Restoration of the property is, of course, only provisional, pending determination of title.[2]
