Quasi-Contracts -- Unsolicited Performance Of A Statutory Duty, Edward S. Biggar Jan 1940

Quasi-Contracts -- Unsolicited Performance Of A Statutory Duty, Edward S. Biggar

Michigan Law Review

An Indiana statute required county officers to publish reports of public business in two newspapers, representing the leading political parties of the county. Plaintiff, one of the two newspapers in Decatur county, printed the required notices without first obtaining official authorization. After defendant had disallowed the claim for this service, plaintiff appealed to the circuit court, there obtaining a verdict. Defendant appealed from the denial of its motion for a new trial. Held, that plaintiff had performed an obligation created by law and was entitled to recover on quasi-contract principles. On motion for rehearing, defendant urged the statute prohibiting recovery …

Libel And Slander - Secondary Publication Of News Item Received From Reliable Agency, Collins E. Brooks Jan 1939

Libel And Slander - Secondary Publication Of News Item Received From Reliable Agency, Collins E. Brooks

Michigan Law Review

Defendant published a news item to the effect that plaintiff had been adjudged guilty of "martial misconduct" in a divorce action. The information had been obtained from a reliable news agency, but was, in fact, false. Held, defendant was liable. The fact that the item was obtained from a reliable news-gathering agency, and published in good faith in the ordinary course of business, while sufficient to preclude the award of punitive damages, did not justify or excuse the publication, nor prevent the recovery of compensatory damages. Szalay v. New York American, Inc., (App. Div. 1938) 4 N. Y. …

Contracts - Consideration - Forbearance To Exercise A Right Jan 1931

Contracts - Consideration - Forbearance To Exercise A Right

Michigan Law Review

Defendant was the assignee of a mortgage on a farm owned by the plaintiff. He gave newspaper notice of intent to foreclose, and ten days before the foreclosure period expired he signed and delivered to the plaintiff a writing in which he "agreed" to pay them three thousand dollars "providing said foreclosure of mortgage expires in my name." The foreclosure did so expire and this suit was brought to recover the money promised. Held, the promise is not enforceable, due to lack of consideration. Shaw v. Philbrick (Me. 1930) 151 Atl. 423.

Libel - Plaintlff's Portrait-Story Concerning Another Dec 1930

Libel - Plaintlff's Portrait-Story Concerning Another

Michigan Law Review

Defendant published in a newspaper the picture of the plaintiff, Alta Woolf, under the headline, "Sued for Balm," and above a caption to the effect that "Mrs. Ruth Felgenauer (above) 11002 Nelson Ave." had been made defendant in an alienation suit. To the plaintiff's libel action, defendant demurred. Held, the trial court was correct in sustaining the demurrer because, in its entirety, the publication was not calculated to lead third persons to believe that it referred to plaintiff. Woolf v. Scripps Pub. Co. (Ohio, Ct. App. 1930) 172 N.E. 389.
