Environment, Natural Resources And Land Use, J. William Futrell

Mercer Law Review

During the survey period, both the courts and the legislature moved to resolve basic uncertainties as to the validity of land use, natural resource, and environmental protection laws and regulations. In Barrett v. Hamby, the court clarified the relationship between the taking clause and police power regulation and moved to a position closer to the mainstream of American law. The General Assembly sought to resolve any doubts as to the State's ability to legislate in the land use and natural resource protection field by adding language to the proposed editorial revision of the state constitution which specifically bases future …

Insurance, Maximilian A. Pock

Mercer Law Review

Of the 45 "insurance" cases handed down during the current survey period less than half merit serious scrutiny and comment at this time. Of the remainder, some address themselves solely to procedural issues with "insurance" law providing but a fortuitous backdrop, while others involve only factual disputes raised largely in duels involving the grant or denial of motions and counter motions for summary judgment.

To preserve editorial continuity the cases decided during the current survey period will be discussed in conformance with the general outline and subject matter headings used in past years. Where certiorari to the supreme court has …

Real Property, George A. Pindar

Mercer Law Review

The period of this survey includes a great quantity of judicial writing from the Georgia appellate courts dealing with difficult problems and often accompanied by sharp and persuasive dissenting opinions.

Trial Practice And Procedure, J. Ralph Beaird, C. Ronald Ellington

Mercer Law Review

Each year the Georgia appellate courts decide several hundred cases that raise issues of trial practice and procedure. The period surveyed in this article covers the tenth year of cases interpreting the Long-Arm Statute and the ninth year of cases decided under the Civil Practice Act. The gradual judicial development of these important laws has been fascinating to watch and comment on. A steady improvement in both the quality and predictability of these decisions can be observed and should be applauded.

The cases selected for comment herein are those deemed the most significant because they either indicate a new direction …

Wills, Trusts And Administration Of Estates, James C. Rehberg

Mercer Law Review

Both the General Assembly and the courts were active during the past year in the area of fiduciary law. The marked increase in legislation, at least as compared to that of the immediately preceding session, may be a reflection of the nationwide attention being given to revision of the probate codes. The work of the General Assembly and of the courts will be discussed in that order.

Workmen's Compensation, George N. Skene

Mercer Law Review

During the survey period, the appellate courts of Georgia decided about 35 cases and the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in one; the General Assembly passed three workmen's compensation bills in 1975 and none in 1976; and the State Board of Workmen's Compensation opened eight offices throughout the state and staffed each with an administrative law judge (a new name for directors and deputy directors).

The Omnibus Hearing: Benefit Or Burden For State Courts?, Joel J. Fryer

Mercer Law Review

The inefficiency of the criminal justice system has come to be recognized by judicial reformers as a major problem that has been exacerbated by the expansion of the rights of defendants. During the past 15 years, largely in response to U.S. Supreme Court decisions attempting to insure due process and promote fairness, trial courts have had to accommodate not only the resultant changes in criminal practice and procedure but also the increased caseload caused by defendants' assertion of constitutional rights which have been recently articulated and guaranteed. The recognition that the burden placed on courts must not be so great …

Assault Leading To Homicide May Be Used To Invoke Felony-Murder Rule, William P. Adams

Mercer Law Review

In Baker v. State, the Georgia Supreme Court held that "the Georgia legislature intended felony murder to encompass all felonies as 'felony' is defined in Code §26-401(e)." The court refused to adopt the "merger" doctrine that has been applied by some states to the felony-murder rule., The defendant was convicted of felony murder' for the shooting death of Roger Clark and sentenced to life imprisonment. Clark and one other person entered the defendant's bedroom before 5:30 one morning to collect a debt allegedly owed to Clark by the defendant. The defendant fired one shot over the heads of the …

A Party Need Not Show Prejudice Or Surprise To Impeach Its Own Witness, Robert R. Gunn Ii

Mercer Law Review

In Wilson v. State, the Supreme Court of Georgia unanimously held that a party may impeach the credibility of its own witness with that witness' prior inconsistent statement without showing that the testimony is a total surprise or affirmatively damaging to the party's case.

Bill Ray Wilson was convicted of murder and armed robbery on the basis of testimony from three prosecution witnesses. His case consisted solely of his sworn denial. The testimony of one prosecution witness was inconsistent with a previous written, sworn statement in which the witness had said Wilson had confessed to the murder in his …

Consent To Elective Surgery Valid Even If Doctor Didn't Warn Of Known Risks, Richard L. Hodge

Mercer Law Review

In Young v. Yarn, the Georgia Court of Appeals interpreted the Georgia Medical Consent Law as not requiring a physician to warn a patient of the known risks of elective surgery for the patient's consent to be valid. The court thus decided that the doctrine of informed consent does not exist in Georgia as between patient and physician.

The plaintiff, Mrs. Maxine Young, engaged the defendant, Dr. Charles P. Yarn, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery, to perform a meloplasty (facelift). While the defendant did render a general explanation of the procedures involved, he did not advise her …

Scienter Required For Civil Liability Under Sec Rule 10b-5, William H. Buckley

Mercer Law Review

In Ernst & Ernst v. Hochfelder, the U. S. Supreme Court held that an action for civil damages cannot be maintained under §10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, unless there is an allegation of the defendant's intent to deceive, manipulate or defraud. Thus, some element of scienter is required, and liability cannot be imposed for negligent conduct alone.

The suit arose following exposure of a fraudulent securities scheme perpetrated by Leston B. Nay, president and principal stockholder of First Securities Company of Chicago (First Securities), a member of the …
