Vicarious Liability And The Family Automobile, Norman D. Lattin
Vicarious Liability And The Family Automobile, Norman D. Lattin
Michigan Law Review
The advent of the automobile into the family life of the present age brought with it a doctrine which has been the troublesome source of much comment in the adjudicated cases and legal literature generally. Were it not for the fact that the battle still wages with much intensity, with very little outward evidence of abatement, it would be presumptuous to add to the already voluminous supply of legal material concerning the law of the family automobile, commonly termed the "family purpose" or "family car" doctrine. If further justification were needed, the problems arising from air navigation, which threatens to …

Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider
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. …
Torts-Imputed Negligence-Common Enterprise
Torts-Imputed Negligence-Common Enterprise
Michigan Law Review
The Supreme Court of Iowa has recently held that a family group engaged in a pleasure ride was a "common enterprise which no one had any particular right to control" and negligence on the part of the driver might be imputed to the other occupants of the car, barring recovery for an injury caused by the concurring negligence of the driver and the defendant. This, to say the least, is an expansion of the generally accepted doctrine of imputed negligence in America.

Surgeon's Liability For Operation Without The Patient's Consent
Surgeon's Liability For Operation Without The Patient's Consent
Michigan Law Review
Under the maxim volenti non fit injuria, a surgeon may inflict upon the body of his patient what otherwise would amount to a technical battery. The consent of the patient justifies the application of force to his person. Zoterell v. Repp, 187 Mich. 319, 153 N.W. 692; Robinson v. Crotwell, 175 Ala. 194, 57 So. 23; King v.

A generally accepted limitation to this doctrine is that consent to the commission of an unlawful act …
Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider
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.

Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider
Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider
Michigan Law Review
When a landowner leases his property to a tenant he looks upon the transaction as purely a business matter. He is seldom aware, perhaps, of the duties resting upon him, the breach of which may subject him to an action in tort. The relation created is one of the most common known to our law and gives rise to a multitude of problems. The courts in their business-like manner treat the law as well settled, and decide the cases as they are presented with very little discussion of the true principles involved. Legal scholars have discussed very little the tort …
