Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton
Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton
University of Richmond Law Review
There is a growing trend in Virginia, as well as in many other states, for injured citizens to hold local governments liable for personal injuries and loss of property resulting from the negligent inspection by building officials of privately owned buildings and structures. The recent abrogation of the doctrine of sovereign immunity in the majority of jurisdictions has served to encourage such litigation, but abrogation alone has proven to be no guarantee of recovery for negligent inspection. Rather, the majority of jurisdictions have continued to enjoy immunity by asserting that building inspectors perform a discretionary governmental function for which no …
Spouse Abuse: Proposal For A New Rule Of Thumb, Cheryl A. Wilkerson
Spouse Abuse: Proposal For A New Rule Of Thumb, Cheryl A. Wilkerson
University of Richmond Law Review
Since the mid-1970's, the nation has been giving increased attention to the problem of spouse abuse. This increased attention arose a decade after the nation became acutely aware that child abuse was a problem in this country. Heightened awareness of the fact that violence occurs between family members was accompanied by recognition that available legal remedies were inadequate. The remedies available to the abused spouse in most states other than Virginia include not only prosecution through the criminal justice system but also civil protective orders which may be obtained by victims either as an alternative to or in conjunction with …
Coal Slurry Pipeline, Mary Kathleen Martin, Laurie L. Riddles
Coal Slurry Pipeline, Mary Kathleen Martin, Laurie L. Riddles
University of Richmond Law Review
Coal, a primary energy source, is presently fueling the fires of debate in Virginia. The controversy has arisen over a plan developed by private investors to construct a coal slurry pipeline. The pipeline, as proposed, would transport between five and twenty-five million tons of coal annually from southwest Virginia to the Tidewater area. The coal would be pulverized and combined in a fifty percent mixture with water. Once the coal reaches its destination, the water would be extracted by centrifuge, leaving the coal ready for use.
The Virginia Judicial Council's Intermediate Appellate Court Proposal, Martha B. Brissette
The Virginia Judicial Council's Intermediate Appellate Court Proposal, Martha B. Brissette
University of Richmond Law Review
The ever-expanding volume of appellate litigation in Virginia has engendered a crisis in appellate justice in this state which can be adequately addressed only by the creation of an intermediate appellate court. Not only is Virginia the most populous state without such an intermediate court, its highest court also has the largest caseload of any single state appellate court.
The Questionable Validity Of The Automatic Exemption Of Attorneys From Jury Service, Barbara Ann Dalvano
The Questionable Validity Of The Automatic Exemption Of Attorneys From Jury Service, Barbara Ann Dalvano
University of Richmond Law Review
On January 10, 1980 Senator Emick proposed a bill in the Virginia General Assembly to abolish the automatic and optional exemptions from jury service of persons engaged in certain occupations. The bill was not passed in its proposed form. Section 8.01-341, providing optional exemptions, still remains in force in its entirety. Automatic exemptions, however, were eliminated for optometrists, clerks of both houses of the General Assembly, ministers, jail keepers, superintendents of public and mental hospitals, undertakers, veterinarians, members of fire departments, pharmacists, clinical psychologists and citizens of Broad Water and Cobb Islands. Licensed practicing attorneys, however, along with several other …
Design-Build Contracts In Virginia, Kevin B. Lynch
Design-Build Contracts In Virginia, Kevin B. Lynch
University of Richmond Law Review
Construction law is a varied and intricate outgrowth of the innumer- able complex relationships inherent in any building project. The role of the architect, once the master builder, has undergone and continues to undergo a redefinition. Due to recent changes in the construction industry, especially the development of construction management and design-build concepts, the regulatory framework within which the building project operates is, in many states, in need of reform. The purpose of this comment will be to examine the impact of the development of design- build concepts on the traditional model of owner, architect, and contractor relationships and to …
Virginia Abolishes Locality Rule In Medical Malpractice, John Y. Richardson Jr.
Virginia Abolishes Locality Rule In Medical Malpractice, John Y. Richardson Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The Virginia General Assembly, in recognition of a modem medical society, has abolished the presumption which favors the application of a "same or similar" locale standard to determine the requisite care of a health care provider. The "same or similar" standard has been used consistently since 1918 in malpractice litigation and, more recently, in proceedings before the medical malpractice review panels in Virginia. This standard was first adopted by statute in 1977, and though it appeared to intend a broader standard than the local standard, it was in fact interpreted as a clear statutory adoption of the Virginia case law …
Regulation Of Consumer Credit In Virginia: A Suggestion For Legislative Improvement, Douglas P. Rucker Jr., William C. French
Regulation Of Consumer Credit In Virginia: A Suggestion For Legislative Improvement, Douglas P. Rucker Jr., William C. French
University of Richmond Law Review
The American economic system is the most successful yet developed, and consumer credit has played a vital role in that economy. Consumer credit has experienced tremendous growth, and has adjusted to the demands of changing life-styles, economic needs, and geographic distinctions, as well as to the different types of consumer goods which have become available with a minimal amount of government intervention. What government intervention there has been has involved restraint and restriction. There now exists the need to improve the consumer credit industry to enable the citizens of Virginia to continue to be able to obtain both the necessities …
Virginia Wealth Transfer Tax- Proposed Alternatives, Michael D. Flemming
Virginia Wealth Transfer Tax- Proposed Alternatives, Michael D. Flemming
University of Richmond Law Review
House Resolution 34, which was approved by the House of Delegates during the 1977 session of the Virginia General Assembly, observed that Virginia's inheritance and gift tax laws have remained essentially unchanged for more than 50 years and commissioned a study of those laws "in light of recent developments."' The proponents of House Resolution 34 no doubt had the 1976 amendments to the federal estate and gift tax laws fresh on their minds. But in addition to the federal changes, several of the states have altered their approach to transfer taxation in recent years. These changes expand the options available …
Corporate Conflicts Of Interest Under The Virginia Stock Corporation Act, Stephen R. Larson
Corporate Conflicts Of Interest Under The Virginia Stock Corporation Act, Stephen R. Larson
University of Richmond Law Review
Dealings between a corporation and its officers or directors present a perennial corporate law problem. Officers and directors are often the people most interested in the success of the corporation and they accordingly may well be willing to contract with their corporation on terms far more favorable to it than are otherwise available. On the other hand, these same people are often in a position to cause the corporation to enter into contracts which are highly advantageous to the officer or director involved, but which are grossly unfair and detrimental to the corporation itself.
Lack Of Due Process In Virginia Contempt Proceeding For Failure To Comply With Order For Support And Alimony
University of Richmond Law Review
At common law a husband had a legal duty' to support his wife and children. Today in Virginia failure to support one's family is not simply a violation of a legal duty, it is a criminal act, carrying a penalty of up to twelve months at hard labor for the delinquent husband. The wife, however, without resorting to this criminal action, can effectuate the same result in a civil proceeding before a divorce court.
