Radiation Injuries And Time Limitations In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Samuel D. Estep, Walter R. Allan
Radiation Injuries And Time Limitations In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Samuel D. Estep, Walter R. Allan
Michigan Law Review
The increasing use of radioactive materials and radiation-producing devices in industry and elsewhere makes it clear that injuries from exposure to radiation must be anticipated. It becomes relevant, therefore, to inquire into the extent to which the present workmen's compensation statutes will be able to cope with the injuries which may arise from the use of this new source of energy.
Torts-Negligent Misrepresentation-Abolition Of The Privity Requirement, Leon E. Irish
Torts-Negligent Misrepresentation-Abolition Of The Privity Requirement, Leon E. Irish
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, professional consulting engineers, contracted with the city of Chattanooga to design a sewage system. As part of their performance of the contract they prepared a report of geological conditions which was to be distributed by the city to prospective bidders. Plaintiff, a tunneling subcontractor, had no dealings with the defendants, but did rely on their report in making its bid. Because one of defendant's draftsmen carelessly omitted pertinent geological information from the report, it took plaintiff three weeks longer to complete the work than had been anticipated. Plaintiff sued defendant for damages for misrepresentation; held, plaintiff may recover. …
Third-Party Liability And Adjustments Between Different Employers And Insurance Carriers In Tennessee, William J. Harbison
Third-Party Liability And Adjustments Between Different Employers And Insurance Carriers In Tennessee, William J. Harbison
Vanderbilt Law Review
In this article the author discusses the Tennessee law as to the relative positions of employers and third party tort feasors in workmen's compensation situations. After discussing the employer's right to subrogation to his employee's right of action, the employer's right to a lien on any recovery in such an action, and the right of the third party to indemnity from the employer, he concludes by treating the problem of joint and successive employers, taking special note of the heretofore untapped resources of the Tennessee Second Injury Fund.

Torts -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, Dix W. Noel
Torts -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, Dix W. Noel
Vanderbilt Law Review
Most of the tort cases during the survey period do not involve any significant changes in the law. Mindful of the necessity of stability and predictability, and of a tradition of even-handed continuity, our courts have been naturally hesitant to upset established rules. However, in a few areas (injuries to unborn children, application of the immunity doctrine to a minor whose disability is removed, scope of liability for negligent misrepresentation) the courts have been faced with new problems and changed conditions. In these areas the decisions frankly accept responsibility for some development of legal doctrine to keep it responsive to …
Liability Of Unincorporated Association For Tortious Injury To A Member, Judson A. Crane
Liability Of Unincorporated Association For Tortious Injury To A Member, Judson A. Crane
Vanderbilt Law Review
Whether a partnership should be treated as a legal entity has been discussed in connection with the drafting of the Uniform Partnership Act' and its interpretation. It seems that the act is in some respects consistent with the entity theory, particularly in the creation of "tenure in partnership" of the joint property. As to liability of the partnership for tortious injury of a member by the partners or partnership employees, it seems clearly to have adopted the non-entity or aggregate approach. Section 13 provides that the partnership is liable for loss or injury by wrongful act or omission caused --to …
Advocating The Rights Of The Injured, Benjamin Marcus
Advocating The Rights Of The Injured, Benjamin Marcus
Michigan Law Review
When workmen's compensation was first introduced a half century ago, it was felt necessary to cushion the shock in a number of ways. One of these was the idea of a bargain, an exchange, in which the worker, to obtain the new remedy based on liability without fault, gave up his existing remedy, the right to a tort action against his employer for a negligent injury. It is time that the terms of that bargain be re-examined.

Longshoreman-Shipowner-Stevedore: The Circle Of Liability, Harney B. Stover, Jr.
Longshoreman-Shipowner-Stevedore: The Circle Of Liability, Harney B. Stover, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
It is universally recognized that in the past two decades the United States Supreme Court has substantially revised the law under which seamen, longshoremen and harbor workers (or their survivors) may recover damages for personal injury and death. One of the more recent and most authoritative texts in the field of admiralty and maritime law devotes an entire chapter, 147 pages in length, to the subject of the rights of seamen and maritime workers (or their survivors) of recovery for injury and death. The introduction to that chapter likens the Court's rewriting of the law in this field to a …

Corporations-Officers And Directors-Liability For Representative Acts Under The Sherman Act, Leon E. Irish
Michigan Law Review
An indictment brought under section 1 of the Sherman Act charged appellee and the corporation that employed him with conspiracy to eliminate price competition in the greater Kansas City milk market. Appellee was charged solely, in his capacity as officer, director or agent of the corporation. The district court dismissed the indictment on the ground that natural persons are indictable under section 1 of the Sherman Act only for acts done on their own account. On direct appeal to the Supreme Court, held, reversed and remanded. A corporate officer is liable under section 1 of the Sherman Act whether …
