The 'Right' To Break A Contract, Willard T. Barbour
The 'Right' To Break A Contract, Willard T. Barbour
Articles
It is common knowledge that the fully developed common law affords no means to compel the performance of a contract according to its terms. Does it follow from this that there is no legal obligation to perform a contract, or if obligation there be, that it is alternative: to perform or pay damages? A note in the XIV MICH. L. REV. 480 appears to give an affirmative answer to this question and at least one court (Frye v. Hubbell, 74 N. H. 358, at p. 374) has taken the same view. Probably the most forcible exposition of this position is …

Invalid Contracts For Contingent Fees, James H. Brewster
Invalid Contracts For Contingent Fees, James H. Brewster
Articles
It is not unusual that agreements between attorneys and clients providing for contingent fees contain a stipulation to the effect that no settlement of the controversy concerning which there is a bargain for fees shall be made by the client without the attorney's consent. In the recent case of Davy et at. v. Fidelity and Casualty Ins. Co., 85 N. E. 504, the Supreme Court of Ohio condemns such an agreement as champertous and, by the citation of many Ohio decisions, "demonstrates that this court has always maintained a consistent and unambiguous attitude in regard to contracts of the kind …

Freedom Of Contract, Jerome C. Knowlton
Freedom Of Contract, Jerome C. Knowlton
Articles
The liberty mentioned in the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution "means not only the right of the citizen to be free from the mere physical restraint of his person, as by incarceration, but the term is deemed to embrace the right of the citizen to be free in the enjoyment of all his faculties; to be free to use them in all lawful ways; to live and work where he will; to earn his livelihood by any lawful calling; to pursue any livelihood or avocation, and for that purpose to enter into all contracts which may be proper, necessary …
Outlines Of The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem
Outlines Of The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem
Books
The subject of Agency belongs to a comparatively recent period in our law … Agency belongs distinctively to a commercial age, and its growth has kept pace with the progress of commercial development. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. As soon as it is conceded that one man may be represented by another in business transactions, and that he may have as many such representatives as occasion may require, the field of commercial activity is immensely widened. The modern business man may thus be constructively present in many places and …

The subject of Agency belongs to a comparatively recent period in our law … Agency belongs distinctively to a commercial age, and its growth has kept pace with the progress of commercial activity. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. One person may thus have many an alter ego. A single brain may direct a hundred hands. The modern business man may be constructively present in many places and carry on diverse and widely separated industries at the same time.

A Treatise On The Law Of Sale Of Personal Property, Volume I, Floyd R. Mechem
A Treatise On The Law Of Sale Of Personal Property, Volume I, Floyd R. Mechem
Books
When this task was undertaken the writer believed that there was a real need for an American book upon the law of Sale. In the long time that he bas been at work, various contributions to the subject have been made by others, so that it is possible that the need, if it ever existed, has long since been supplied. The writer, however, whether wisely or unwisely, has persisted in his undertaking, and if bis work shall prove to have a value in some degree commensurate with the labor spent upon it, he will be content.

Contracts: Dalhousie Law School, D Frank Matheson, First Year, Donald Frank Matheson
Contracts: Dalhousie Law School, D Frank Matheson, First Year, Donald Frank Matheson
Thompson Rare Book Collection
This notebook was used by D. Frank Matheson, an alumnus of Dalhousie Law School, Class of 1901, in his first year Contract Law class.
The Matheson Notebooks are a collection of seven bound notebooks used by Frank Matheson during his time at Dalhousie School of Law between 1898 and 1901. In 2018, they were found in the basement of a Lunenburg law firm and donated to Schulich School of Law. There are two or three notebooks from each year of Matheson’s studies, ranging slightly in size and style. The notebooks have pages made from linen rags, are bound with paper …
Cases On The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem
Cases On The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem
Books
The following collection of cases has been prepared, at the request of several leading educators, to accompany the writer’s treatise on the law of agency, the purpose being to illustrate the text by object lessons gathered from the reports. Nothing in the way of annotation has been attempted, beyond an occasional reference to similar cases, as it is thought that the text of the treatise supplies all that is needed in that direction. To make a selection of cases from the great number upon the subject is a difficult task and one in reference to which opinions will necessarily differ. …
Subscriptions, Henry W. Rogers
Subscriptions, Henry W. Rogers
Articles
One cannot expect, within the limits of a single article, to exhaust the law relating to Subscriptions. But within the limits assigned, I propose to consider some portions of the law relating to this subject, which seem to me to be of sufficient interest and importance to merit attention in these pages. The subject of Subscriptions is seemingly a narrow one, and yet it has given rise to very considerable litigation, and out of it have come many interesting questions, upon the determination of which large pecuniary interests have often-times depended, especially in the case of Stock Subscriptions.
Effect Of A Change In The Law Upon Rights Of Actions And Defences, Thomas M. Cooley
Effect Of A Change In The Law Upon Rights Of Actions And Defences, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
A very interesting and important question frequently is, what effect has been produced upon a right of action, or upon a previously existing defence to an action, by a change in the law effected by statute after the right has accrued, or the cause of action has arisen, to which the defence was applicable. The question is encountered in a great variety of cases, and is sufficiently important to be considered under the several heads where the cases seem to range themselves. This is done imperfectly below.
Of The Right To Waive A Tort And Sue In Assumpsit, Thomas M. Cooley
Of The Right To Waive A Tort And Sue In Assumpsit, Thomas M. Cooley
Articles
The distinctions between an action for a tort and one upon contract are such that where the one will lie the other generally will not; but there are nevertheless some cases in which either may be brought at the election of the party injured. Thus, it is sometimes the case, that, in a business relation, the law makes it the duty of a party to observe a certain course of conduct with regard to the rights of others, where by contract he has also undertaken for the same thing; and in such a case a breach of duty is coincident …

Essentially A Mother, Jennifer S. Hendricks
Essentially A Mother, Jennifer S. Hendricks
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
This article connects the constitutional jurisprudence of the family to debates over reproductive technology and surrogacy. Despite the outpouring of literature on reproductive technologies, courts and scholars have paid little attention to the constitutional foundation of parental rights. Focusing on the structural/political function of parental rights, this article argues that a gestational mother has a constitutional claim to be recognized as a legal parent.
The article first discusses the "unwed father cases." Despite believing that natural sex differences justified distinctions in parental rights, the Supreme Court crafted a test giving men parental rights if they established relationships with their biological …
