The Statutes Of Nonvoting Stock In West Virginia, P. B. H. Jun 1957

The Statutes Of Nonvoting Stock In West Virginia, P. B. H.

West Virginia Law Review

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court of West Virginia decided that certain statutory provisions of the Code were unconstitutional insofar as they permitted a limitation on the right of a stockholder in any corporation to vote for the directors of such a corporation. The constitutionality of the applicable statutes was discussed in two articles printed in this law review twenty-four years ago, but in light of the decision in State ex rel. Dewey Portland Cement Co. v. O'Brien4 (for the purposes of this note, this case will be designated the Dewey Cement Co. case.), there is valid reason to …

The Defense Of Laches And A Correlative, John W. Plattenburg Apr 1957

The Defense Of Laches And A Correlative, John W. Plattenburg

West Virginia Law Review

The term laches, when used in a legal sense, generally brings to mind the image of the complainant who has slept on his rights for an unreasonable length of time, and who is now precluded from asserting those rights. Laches connotes the passage of time and a laxness on the part of a party to assert his rights during the time elapsed. The defense of laches, as applied in equity, is a much more restricted doctrine than is apparent in this connotation of the word. The purpose of this note is to show what generally constitutes a defense of laches, …

West Virginia Indeterminate Sentence And Parole Laws, Londo H. Brown Feb 1957

West Virginia Indeterminate Sentence And Parole Laws, Londo H. Brown

West Virginia Law Review

While this part of the study is supposed to be a study of West Virginia's indeterminate sentence law, it is in reality a study of this state's indeterminate sentence and parole laws. No indeterminate sentence law can be of value unless it is correlated to an adequate parole law, and, it is said, no parole law can be of full value unless it is used in conjunction with an indeterminate sentence law. At the outset several generalities may be set forth. There is no perfect answer to the penal problem. When men and women must be deprived of their liberty …


The Doctrine Of Precedent As Applied To Administrative Decisions, Ray Jay Davis Feb 1957

The Doctrine Of Precedent As Applied To Administrative Decisions, Ray Jay Davis

West Virginia Law Review

When the Twentieth Century acceleration of administrative dispensation of justice has come criticism of procedures followed by administrative agencies. Many complaints focus upon procedural differences between administrative and judicial adjudication, considering the latter as the acceptable norm and any deviation therefrom by administrative officials as erroneous. One such objection is that administrative tribunals do not adhere to the Anglo-American doctrine of precedent; that, instead of acting in accord with generalizations gleaned from their previous adjudications, they treat each case as a single, unique instance. Criticism of this sort presupposes that the same values served by judicial adherence to precedent are …
