Slumlordism As A Tort, Joseph L. Sax, Fred J. Hiestand
Slumlordism As A Tort, Joseph L. Sax, Fred J. Hiestand
Michigan Law Review
The war against poverty has been fought with rather more vigor than its initiators contemplated. Thus far, however, the major engagements have taken place in the streets of Watts and Chicago, which is not quite what they had in mind. Some, who think it odd that as we pass more laws we get more lawlessness, will perhaps content themselves by observing that the feeding hand is always bitten. Those less easily satisfied have begun to see the need for adopting some legal solutions as far reaching as the problems they are designed to abate; the following article is addressed to …

Strict Liability In Tort: A Modest Proposal, David G. Epstein
Strict Liability In Tort: A Modest Proposal, David G. Epstein
Law Faculty Publications
Centuries ago, the noted Irish satirist, Jonathan Swift, made a "modest proposal' that the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle remedy a severe food shortage they were experiencing by eating their young. To some, a proposal of the adoption of strict liability in tort-regardless of how limited-is no more a modest proposal than Mr. Swift's. It is submitted that this opposition to strict liability in tort is at least in part due to a misunderstanding of the present state of the law as to a manufacturer's liability to injured consumers. In most jurisdictions, the adoption of strict liability in tort for …

Collective Bargaining And The Antitrust Laws, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Collective Bargaining And The Antitrust Laws, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Other Publications
A central aim of the antitrust laws is the promotion of competition. A central aim of collective bargaining is the elimination of competition-according to classical trade union theory, the elimination of wage competition among all employees doing the same job in the same industry. Given these disparate aims, the antitrust laws and collective bargaining will almost inevitably tend to clash. To harmonize them, the type of competition which the law is intended to foster must be carefully distinguished from the type of competition which union-employer bargaining can properly displace. The Supreme Court's last major effort to draw the demarcation line …

Banks And Banking-Bank's Liability For Breach Of Its Duty To Corporate Depositor-Maley V. East Side Bank Of Chicago, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The three stockholders of a close corporation contracted to sell all of the corporate stock to Shulman for $5,000 down and a balance of $17,000 in two notes payable in thirty days. A resolution filed with the defendant depositary bank provided that Paul, the former president, was to act as the interim treasurer for the corporation and was to cosign, with Shulman, all checks drawn on the corporate account until the balance of the purchase price was tendered. Approximately one week after the agreement was made, the bank received an inordinate number of inquiries regarding the credit of the corporation, …
The Irregular Issuance Of Warehouse Receipts And Article Seven Of The Uniform Commercial Code, Douglass G. Boshkoff
The Irregular Issuance Of Warehouse Receipts And Article Seven Of The Uniform Commercial Code, Douglass G. Boshkoff
Michigan Law Review
The draftsmen of Article Seven were well aware of the problems caused by irregular issuance of warehouse receipts and there will be fewer problems of irregularity under the Code for two reasons. First, the Code's formal requirements for issuance of warehouse receipts are less stringent than are those imposed by the UWRA, thereby lessening the chances of any irregularity occurring. Second, the Code contains two sections which aim to minimize the consequences of any irregularities which may occur. In this article I will discuss the types of defects that have been troublesome over the years, focussing on the ways in …
Inducing Breach Of Contract In Trade Disputes: Development Of The Law In England And Canada, Innis Christie
Inducing Breach Of Contract In Trade Disputes: Development Of The Law In England And Canada, Innis Christie
Innis Christie Collection
In the course of his judgement in the Posluns case Gale J., now the Chief Justice of the High Court of Ontario, thus defined the tort of inducing breach of contract. The Posluns case was an action by a stockbroker against the Toronto Stock Exchange, but it is in the context of trade disputes, especially in cases of picketing, that the tort of inducing breach of contract is significant in Canada. In the confused fact situations arising out of trade disputes Canadian courts have not always been as careful as was Gale J. to identify each of the elements of …
