Joinder And Splitting Of Causes Of Action, Charles E. Clark
Joinder And Splitting Of Causes Of Action, Charles E. Clark
Michigan Law Review
The pleading rules concerning joinder and splitting of causes of action are complements of each other, though designed to achieve different objectives. The joinder rule is that separate causes cannot be "joined" or pleaded in the same suit unless they fall within one of the classes of permissible joinder specified in the codes. The purpose of the rule is to prevent too wide a field of litigation and too diverse issues in a single suit and thus to avoid a case of undue confusion and complexity. The rule against splitting is that a single cause shall not be "split" or …

Jurisdiction Over Unincorporated Associations Composed Of Nonresidents
Michigan Law Review

It reads as follows: An action or special proceeding may be maintained, against the president or treasurer of such an association, * * * upon any cause of action, for or upon which the· plaintiff may maintain such action or special proceeding, against all the associates * * *· Any partnership; or other company of persons, which has a president or treasurer, is, deemed an association within the meaning of this section."

Survivor Of Actions Under The Sherman Anti-Trust Act
Survivor Of Actions Under The Sherman Anti-Trust Act
Michigan Law Review
The question of survival of actions ex delicto following the death of a party thereto has caused no small amount of litigation, and in actions under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, due to the large sums that are always involved and a consequent desire on the part of the plaintiff to reach all possible sources of compensation, the problem assumes a peculiar importance. Section 7 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act simply provides that, "Any person who shall be injured in his business or property by any other person or corporation by reason of anything forbidden or declared to be unlawful by …

Evidence By Surviving Participant Of A Contract Or Other Transaction
Evidence By Surviving Participant Of A Contract Or Other Transaction
Michigan Law Review
Among the most prolific and endless sources of litigation of recent times are the so-called "dead man statutes", which forbid the surviving participant in a contract or other transaction to testify regarding it unless the opposing party waives the restriction. These statutes lay down a rule of thumb which treats all cases, meritorious or unmeritorious, exactly the same. In attempting to apply them to the cases the courts have made one fine distinction after another, only to interject still finer ones in between, until the whole· makes a labyrinth in which suitor and court have often found themselves hopelessly lost. …

An Appraisal Of English Procedure, Edson R. Sunderland
Michigan Law Review
On paper the program of the London meeting of the American Bar Association last year was not a crowded one. No busy morning sessions hurried the members away from their hotels; at noon there was a leisurely opportunity for comfortable luncheons; and the drowsy summer afternoon was far advanced before the real business of the day began. But the printed program only marked the high points of the meeting. All through the week, by day and by night, there was London to be seen, the Abbey, the Tower, the Thames, palaces, parks and galleries, and the thousand historic spots which …
Insurance-Liability Of Insurance Company For Negligence In Exercising Its Option To Settle Or Defend
Insurance-Liability Of Insurance Company For Negligence In Exercising Its Option To Settle Or Defend
Michigan Law Review
In a recent New Hampshire case, the plaintiff had insured with defendant company against liability for personal injuries to plaintiff's employees not exceeding $5,000.00. The policy under the title of "Service" provided that defendant would investigate all claims and settle them "according to the law". The defendant insurer also agreed to defend such suits as might be brought against plaintiff because of such injuries. One of plaintiff's employees was injured and though he offered to settle for $1,300.00, the defendant refused the offer. Thereupon the employee sued and recovered $13,500.00 in an action defended by defendant company according to their …

Arbitration Under The Modern Statutes
Arbitration Under The Modern Statutes
Michigan Law Review
Of late years the way of the "fair and free trial in open court," to which every man is deemed to have an inalienable right, has become so long, devious, intricate and costly, that the law faces the danger of falling into general disrepute. The calendars of courts in most jurisdictions ·are crowded and filled for months and years in advance. the situation being most acute in the larger cities and commercial centers. the very places where delays are most undesirable. New York City serves as a horrible example-here an ordinary case generally takes three years to come to trial. …

Adverse Possession in the Case of the Rights of Way of the Pacific Railroad Companies - While the weight of authority is probably to the effect that railroad rights of way may be lost by adverse possession, the authorities are by no means agreed. The rights of way of certain of the Pacific Railroad Companies have been declared not to be subject to the ordinary rules as to adverse possession, on the ground that by the Congressional grants the four-hundred-foot-strips -were conveyed only for railroad purposes with the ultimate possibility of reverter in the United States, which had the effect …

Pecote: A Bit of Legal Archaeology - -In the case of Pusey v.

The bill was demurred to in that the plaintiff did not by his bill pretend to be entitled to this horn, either as executor or devisee; nor had he in …

The Renvoi Theory Repudiated as a Test for Determining the Negotiability of a Note - A recent case decided by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma (Bell v. Riggs, 127 Pac. 427) involving, among others, a question as to what law governs the negotiability of a note made in one State and payable in another, though of little intrinsic value so far as that point is concerned, is of some interest because the attorney for the holder of the note made a curious attempt to adapt the renvoi theory to his case. The term renvoi is used as a convenient descriptive …

Liability For Accidents In Aerial Navigation, Simeon E. Baldwin
Liability For Accidents In Aerial Navigation, Simeon E. Baldwin
Michigan Law Review
It cannot be long before the American courts will be called upon to decide whether, under the principles of the common law, aeronauts, who cause damage by a descent to the earth, are liable at all events, or only when chargeable with negligence or want of skill. Is there a right to navigate the air, corresponding to the right to navigate the sea? ·

The German Law-Suit Without Lawyers, Simon E. Baldwin
The German Law-Suit Without Lawyers, Simon E. Baldwin
Michigan Law Review
As in the Roman practice, during the formulary period, there were two judicial stages to every law-suit, one in which the issue was determined and: the mode of trial directed, and another for the trial itself, so there are two judicial stages to every German law-suit. In the first, the court finds out what is really in controversy; in the second is the trial. In most cases there must be written pleadings drawn by lawyers, and a trial conducted by lawyers. A plaintiff is not allowed to conduct his own cause in any of the higher courts. But the plaintiff …
