Restraints On Alienation In Missouri, Earl F. Nelson Nov 1928

Restraints On Alienation In Missouri, Earl F. Nelson

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

Restraints on alienation are sought to be effected in two ways: First: No attempt is made to attach any character of inalienability to the estate, but it is given on the condition that it shall not be alienated, or until it is alienated; that is, it is subject either to a condition for the breach of which the grantor may enter, or to a limitation which, upon alienation, puts an end to it without entry. The owner of the estate may assign it as he pleases; he is not compelled to keep it against his will; but on assignment it …

Constitutional Law-Eminent Domain-Judcial Review By Certiorari Apr 1928

Constitutional Law-Eminent Domain-Judcial Review By Certiorari

Michigan Law Review

In a previous number of this volume the holding of the supreme court of Michigan was discussed wherein sections 1 and 2, article 13, of the constitution of 1908 were held to make necessity as well as compensation a judicial question in eminent domain cases. Accordingly, in that case, the court held that the feature of the statute (P. A. 1925, No. 352) authorizing the state highway commissioner to make a conclusive determination of necessity, without notice and hearing to the landowner, and without judicial review, was unconstitutional.


Rights Of Vendees Under Executory Contracts Of Sale, George D. Lantz Mar 1928

Rights Of Vendees Under Executory Contracts Of Sale, George D. Lantz

Washington Law Review

It has been held by the Supreme Court of the State of Washington in a number of cases, that an executory contract to sell either real or personal property, generally designated as a conditional sales or installment contract, does not create in the vendee or buyer any legal or equitable interest in the property In so far as the rule applies to real property, there was a disposition on the part of many members of the bar to adversely criticise those decisions and to become fearful of their effect upon the status of the vendee's rights, after the court decided …

The Corporation Sole Mar 1928

The Corporation Sole

Michigan Law Review

In the recent case of Reid v. Barry, the Florida court stirred among the bones of common law relics to invoke the aid of the corporation sole doctrine, coming to the conclusion that the Roman Catholic Bishop of St. Augustine was a sole corporation, capable of holding property by succession. The ancient learning on this anomalous but useful corporate entity is to be found in Blackstone, Coke, and Grant ; the few reported cases that have appeared since the days of these commentators have in general confirmed what they said. Maitland in delving into its history said; "An ecclesiastical …


Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider Mar 1928

Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider

Michigan Law Review

The discussion thus far has dealt with the tort liability of a landlord for failing to perform some duty owed by him to persons upon the demised premises. There remains to be considered the tort liability of a landlord who fails to perform some duty owed by him to persons not upon the demised premises. The majority of the people composing this class are users of property adjoining that of the landlord. The cases dealing with the landlord's duties to persons upon the demised premises should always be distinguished from those dealing with his duties to persons using adjoining property. …

Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider Feb 1928

Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider

Michigan Law Review

At Common Law. According to the rules of the common law a landlord is under no legal duty to repair the demised premises during the term unless he expressly agrees to do so. It therefore may be stated, as a general rule, that he is liable neither to the tenant nor to the tenant's invitees for injuries caused by the premises falling into a state of disrepair during the term.
