Parties - Right To Sue Defendant By Fictitious Name, Oliver B. Crager
Parties - Right To Sue Defendant By Fictitious Name, Oliver B. Crager
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought an action of detinue to repossess an electric refrigerator against "John Doe, whose name is to the plaintiff otherwise unknown, but will be inserted by way of amendment when ascertained," in accordance with an Alabama statute allowing suits to be started against defendants by a fictitious name. Writ of seizure issued on the same date as the summons, but the sheriff did not make service. When it was found that the refrigerator was in the possession of a woman, plaintiff amended the complaint to substitute "Mary Roe, whose name is to the plaintiff otherwise unknown, etc." Service was …

Practice And Procedure - General Verdict On Several Counts - Is New Trial Necessary When One Of Two Counts Is Unsupported By Evidence?, Edmund R. Blaske
Practice And Procedure - General Verdict On Several Counts - Is New Trial Necessary When One Of Two Counts Is Unsupported By Evidence?, Edmund R. Blaske
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sued defendant to recover damages arising from personal injuries claimed to have been suffered by him while in the employ of defendant, who was not under the workmen's compensation statute. In the first count of his declaration plaintiff claimed that defendant did not furnish him a safe place in which to work, and in the second count that defendant set him at work on dangerous materials. The jury returned a verdict of "guilty on both counts" and assessed "total damages" at $998.71. The trial court, on a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, ruled that as a matter of …
Judgments - Federal Declaratory Judgments Act, Charles R. Moon Jr.
Judgments - Federal Declaratory Judgments Act, Charles R. Moon Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Underlying the declaratory judgment is the idea that in an organized and civilized society where law and order are thoroughly recognized and established, coercion is normally unnecessary to settle legal disputes between parties. The belief is that in many lawsuits the plaintiff is not seeking a means of coercing the defendant but that the plaintiff and the defendant merely want a final and conclusive decision of a disputed question on which their legal relations depend. The value of the declaratory judgment lies in that it may be used to settle this dispute, in many cases before any other form of …
Federal Practice-Counterclaim By Lntervenors
Federal Practice-Counterclaim By Lntervenors
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sued Freeman Company for infringing a patent by selling a certain patented device. The manufacturer of the device, and vendor of Freeman Company, obtained leave to intervene as a defendant under federal equity rule 37, and thereupon filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff for alleged infringement of other patents, claiming the right to do so as a "defendant" under federal equity rule 30. The plaintiff moved to dismiss the counterclaim. The motion was granted by the district court and affirmed on appeal by the circuit court. On certiorari the United States Supreme Court held that "defendant" under equity rule …
Estoppel And Statutes Of Limitation, John P. Dawson
Estoppel And Statutes Of Limitation, John P. Dawson
Michigan Law Review
Among all the spheres of its activity estoppel probably performs no more useful service than in the alleviation of hardship caused by statutes of limitation. Here as in other places the elements of estoppel and its relations to more basic legal concepts are exceedingly hard to define. At some points its effects on limitation acts could be described in terms of express contract; at other points it merges into "fraud"; in general it provides the medium for official expressions of disapproval where civil litigation exceeds the permissible limits of private warfare.
Practice And Procedure - Reservation Of Decision On Motion For Directed Verdict As Means Of Avoiding Unnecessary New Trials
Michigan Law Review
What may be done to remedy the situation if a jury brings in a verdict in favor of a party against whom a verdict should have been directed? This question becomes pertinent in view of the fact that judges, while hard pressed by counsel in the heat of trial, frequently wrongfully deny a motion for directed verdict and submit the case to the jury. One obvious remedy is the granting of a new trial by the trial judge, or by an appellate court after reversal. But this practice has proved eminently unsatisfactory, for it submits the aggrieved party to the …
Actions-Single Injury To Person And Property As One Cause Of Action
Actions-Single Injury To Person And Property As One Cause Of Action
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff suffered personal injuries and damage to his truck when the truck which he was driving collided with an automobile driven by the defendant's intestate, the latter being killed instantly by the collision. The plaintiff then brought this action alleging that the collision was caused by the intestate's negligence and asking damages for both personal and property injuries. The defendant contended that since his intestate was killed by the very blow which caused damage to the plaintiff no action lay against the intestate in his lifetime and since there was no statute giving an action against his administrator, the …
Fraudulent Concealment And Statutes Of Limitation, John P. Dawson
Fraudulent Concealment And Statutes Of Limitation, John P. Dawson
Michigan Law Review
In a recent article the writer has discussed a common exception to statutes of limitation - the exception for claims based on undiscovered "fraud." It was there pointed out how useful this exception has been made through the wide definition of "fraud" that is now fully established. By judicial decision "fraud" has been extended far beyond the field of misrepresentation of fact into the twilight zones of "constructive fraud" and out toward the open spaces of naked tort. But some boundaries had to be fixed even to the extension of substantive principles by the painless process of definition. There remained …
Appeal And Error - Application For Separate Trials - Nature Of Order Denying
Appeal And Error - Application For Separate Trials - Nature Of Order Denying
Michigan Law Review
The decedent was riding with his brother as a guest when a collision with another automobile caused his death. The executrix of his estate sued his brother and the driver of the other car jointly. The defendants were suable jointly for their concurring negligences but a statute authorized the court in its discretion to allow separate trials. Upon an appeal from an order overruling an application by the defendants for separate trials the court held that it was an "intermediate order involving the merits or materially affecting the final decision" and thus directly appealable. Manley v. Paysen, (Iowa 1932) …
Civil Pleading In Scotland, Robert Wyness Millar
Civil Pleading In Scotland, Robert Wyness Millar
Michigan Law Review
Said Lord Chancellor Loreburn, in his answers to the questions addressed to him by Mr. Justice Lurton, preparatory to the drafting of the Federal Equity Rules of 1912: "It may be worth while for Mr. Justice Lurton and his coadjutors to consider the Scottish method of pleading which, in my opinion, is the best." This can only mean that the Lord Chancellor regarded the method in question as superior to that obtaining under the English Rules - certainly a high testimonial coming from such a quarter. Whether the opinion is justified or not is a question which may be left …

The defendant, an attorney at law and resident of Minnesota, came into Wisconsin to take depositions to be used in suits pending in Minnesota. Upon arrival he and the witnesses were served with an injunction restraining the taking of the depositions. While awaiting a hearing upon the injunction, in which he intended to appear in his own behalf and as attorney for the witnesses, personal service of a Wisconsin summons in the instant action was made upon him, naming as defendants himself and the law firm of which he was a member. A motion to set aside the service of …

Contempt-Punishment Of One Not A Party To An Injunction
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff sued A and B for infringement of patent rights. The suit was dismissed as to A and B testified that the business was solely his. A decree was then entered against B, "his agents, employees, associates and confederates * * *," which enjoined them from "infringing, or aiding or abetting, or in any way contributing to the infringement * * *" of the patents.
