The Case Of The Unwary Home Buyer: The Housing Merchant Did It, E. F. Roberts Jul 1967

The Case Of The Unwary Home Buyer: The Housing Merchant Did It, E. F. Roberts

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The author points up the decline of caveat emptor as a viable doctrine governing the sale of new homes and analyzes the emergence of implied warranty as a remedy for both structural deficiencies and personal injuries. He argues that the concept of implied warranty tends to obfuscate real distinctions between the builder-vendor’s responsibility for the material integrity of a new home and for personal injuries occasioned by defects therein, concluding that legislation is needed to reestablish a system of order in the law.

Physical Injury And The Misrepresentation Exception Of The Federal Tort Claim Act § 2680(H), Anon

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff, operating a dragline while improving the channel of a small creek, struck and detonated a natural gas pipeline which was shown on Government site plans to be located outside the work area. Plaintiff sued the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act to recover for his personal injuries. Defendant moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, contending that the case was bottomed on misrepresentation and therefore excluded from the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. section 2680(h). The United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi granted Defendant's …

Labor Law-Prima Facie Tort Doctrine Bars Unreasonable Deprivation Of Union Membership-Hurwitz V. Directors Guild Of America, Inc., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In July 1965 the officers of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) and the Screen Directors International Guild (SDIG) concluded a merger agreement which provided that DGA was to be the surviving union and SDIG members were to become members of DGA automatically upon signing the DGA non-Communist loyalty oath. Although the SDIG membership ratified the merger agreement by a majority vote, six members steadfastly refused to sign the oath and as a result were not admitted to membership in DGA. They thereupon brought a diversity suit in a New York federal district court: and moved for a preliminary injunction …

Manufacturer's Liability For Defective Automobile Design, Anon Mar 1967

Manufacturer's Liability For Defective Automobile Design, Anon

Washington Law Review

"The chariots shall rage in the streets" was a prediction announced twenty-five centuries ago. The degree of fulfillment of this vision must certainly have been beyond the wildest expectations of its maker, for every year, the raging chariots consume tens of thousands of lives and billions of dollars of property in the United States alone. With automobiles as well as chariots, the law has long imposed civil liability as a consequence for negligent operation of a vehicle which results in death or injury. However, liability of a manufacturer for errors in performance of his duties is a recent phenomenon, and …

Extension Of The Sullivan Rule To Non-Official Public Figures, Anon

Washington Law Review

On two separate occasions, Dr. Linus Pauling sued news services for libel. In one case, involving a magazine which had identified Dr. Pauling as a communist without proof of the accusation, his libel action was dismissed by a New York court. In the second case, an editorial in defendant's newspaper falsely reported that Dr. Pauling had been cited for contempt of Congress. He had failed to comply with a congressional demand for a list of associates who had aided him in circulating a petition against nuclear testing, but was never actually cited for contempt. A federal district court's verdict for …
