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 …

Delay In Delivery Of Cadaver To Next Of Kin, Lawrence S. Grean, Paul Hesse
Delay In Delivery Of Cadaver To Next Of Kin, Lawrence S. Grean, Paul Hesse
Cleveland State Law Review
The general rule is that mental suffering alone, caused by mere negligence, is non-compensable. While a majority of courts seem to hold that damages may be awarded when physical injuries result from mental anguish, even though no "impact" (contact) is involved, in most states the requirement of physical injury appears steadfast. One notable exception to this rule, however, can sometimes be found in the law relating to cadavers. Briefly stated, it holds that mental anguish suffered by the next of kin, resulting from interference with the body of the deceased, is sufficient basis for compensation, irrespective of contemporaneous physical injury. …

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, …

Damages-Compensation For Curtailment Of Life Expectancy As A Separate Element Of Damages-Downie V. United States Lines Co., Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
While plaintiff was aboard ship as an employee of the defendant, he suffered a heart attack which was aggravated by the negligence of one of defendant's employees. In suing under the Jones Act for damages caused by this aggravation of his condition, plaintiff sought recovery for the eight year curtailment of his life expectancy as a separate and distinct item of damages, independent of the economic loss sustained as a result of such curtailment. The jury made a general award of $86,900 of which $25,000 was a special award for the curtailment of plaintiff's life. On defendant's motion, the trial …
