Conflict Of Laws-Wrongful Death-Suit By Foreign Administration, Douglas L. Mann S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, an administrator appointed by an Illinois probate court, brought suit in Michigan under the Indiana death act1 to recover for the wrongful death of decedent which resulted from an accident occurring in Indiana. The trial court sustained defendant's motion to dismiss on the ground that plaintiff had no standing to sue in a Michigan court. Held, reversed. The rule barring actions brought by foreign administrators does not apply to suits brought under the usual type of wrongful death act. Howard v. Pulver, (Mich. 1951) 45 N.W. (2d) 530.
Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden
Extraterritorial Effects Of Confiscations And Expropriations, Ignaz Seidl-Hohenvelden
Michigan Law Review
The study of the problem of extraterritorial effects of confiscations and expropriations from the point of view of Comparative Law has special practical importance. There are hardly any codified rules applicable to foreign confiscations and expropriations, either in statutory law countries or in common law countries. Hence, decisions have to be based largely on generally accepted rules of public and private international law. Such general acceptance can only be proved by a comparative analysis of foreign as well as of domestic precedents.
