Civil Procedure On The American Frontier, William Wirt Blume

Workmen's Compensation - Federal Employers' Liability Act - Basis Of Liability Not Common Law Negligence, Robert L. Knauss S.Ed.
Workmen's Compensation - Federal Employers' Liability Act - Basis Of Liability Not Common Law Negligence, Robert L. Knauss S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, a laborer in a railroad section gang, was assigned to burn weeds near a railroad track. He was injured when he fell into a culvert as he was trying to escape from smoke and flames which had been fanned by a passing train. A jury in the Circuit Court of St. Louis awarded damages under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). The Supreme Court of Missouri reversed upon the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to support a finding of the railroad's liability, and the case should not have been allowed to go to a jury. On certiorari …
Required Joinder Of Claims, Dieter L. Hoegen
Required Joinder Of Claims, Dieter L. Hoegen
Michigan Law Review
In review we can say that within a comparatively broad field of the American law required joinder of claims is the rule. There are some exceptions. The German law has no rule of compulsory joinder of claims. Here, there are some exceptions, too. In this sense and within a field which is marked out by the American rule and the German exceptions, the relationship of rule and exceptions is reversed in the two systems.
Required Joinder Of Claims, Dieter L. Hoegen
Required Joinder Of Claims, Dieter L. Hoegen
Michigan Law Review
This comparative study is confined to the situation of one claimant against one claimee. The principles which will be considered seem to be rather well settled both in the American and the German law. The fact, however, that besides many a common result we shall find fundamental differences in the pertinent basic concepts of the American and German systems makes the discussion worthwhile. It may, at least, promote a reconsideration of the propriety of those concepts.
Civil Procedure - Joinder Of Statutory Causes Of Action With Common Law Negligence Where There Are Different Parties Defendant, George W. Marti
Civil Procedure - Joinder Of Statutory Causes Of Action With Common Law Negligence Where There Are Different Parties Defendant, George W. Marti
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought an action against defendant for injuries received in an automobile accident caused by defendant's negligence in driving while intoxicated. She sought to join with this claim actions against several bar owners under a statute providing for liability of bar owners for injuries caused by one to whom they had unlawfully sold alcoholic beverages. One of the defendant bar owners moved to dismiss for misjoinder or to compel an election of causes on the ground that since only compensatory damages could be recovered against the defendant-consumer upon common law negligence, and both exemplary and compensatory damages could be recovered …
Husband And Wife - Right Of Wife To Sue For Loss Of Consortium Due To Negligent Injury To Husband, James M. Porter S.Ed.
Husband And Wife - Right Of Wife To Sue For Loss Of Consortium Due To Negligent Injury To Husband, James M. Porter S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought an action for loss of consortium with her husband, allegedly due to defendant's negligent injury of the husband. In a prior suit the husband's cause of action against the defendant had been settled and dismissed with prejudice. The trial court dismissed the present suit for failure to state a cause of action. On appeal, held, reversed. The wife has a valuable property right of consortium. Iowa statutes pertaining to the rights of married women clearly indicate the intent of the legislature to remove the common law bar of coverture that prevented a wife from maintaining an action …
Judicial Review In Europe, Gottfried Dietze
Judicial Review In Europe, Gottfried Dietze
Michigan Law Review
The years following the Second World War witnessed a wave of constitution making in Europe. In East and West alike, popular government was instituted through new basic laws. But whereas the constitutions of Eastern Europe established a Rousseauistic form. of democracy through the creation of an omnipotent legislature, those of the West, while reflecting a belief in parliamentary government, to a larger or smaller degree limited the power of the legislature through the introduction of judicial review. This acceptance of judicial review can be attributed mainly to two factors. It sprung from a distrust of a parliamentarism under which, during …

Wills - Execution - Attestation, Max H. Bergman
Michigan Law Review
Prospective witnesses to a will saw the testatrix standing in an adjoining room engaged in writing. Soon thereafter, the testatrix asked them to come in and sign a paper. Her name had already been written on the document, and she neither signed it in the witnesses' presence nor in any manner indicated the writing to be her will. The witnesses read enough of the document, however, to know it was a will, before subscribing it in the presence of the testatrix and one another. Three of the testatrix' sons objected to the probate of the will on the ground that …
