Blood Grouping Tests And The Presumption Of Legitimacy

University of Richmond Law Review

This comment deals briefly with the presumption that a child born to a married couple is the legitimate issue of that marriage. The status of this presumption in Virginia is considered in light of the Virginia statute authorizing the use of blood grouping tests in certain cases where the paternity of a child born during wedlock is at issue. The constitutionality of such tests is not within the scope of this comment.

Parental Immunity- Its Effect On Vicarious Liability

University of Richmond Law Review

Parental immunity prohibits a child from instituting a suit against his parent for a personal tort. However, when a child has sustained injury as a result of his parent's tortious act committed in the course of his employment, and the child seeks recovery against his parent's employer under the doctrine of respondeat superior, the majority of jurisdictions feel that this immunity is purely personal and should not be extended to the employer.
