Required Joinder Of Claims, Dieter L. Hoegen

Michigan Law Review

In review we can say that within a comparatively broad field of the American law required joinder of claims is the rule. There are some exceptions. The German law has no rule of compulsory joinder of claims. Here, there are some exceptions, too. In this sense and within a field which is marked out by the American rule and the German exceptions, the relationship of rule and exceptions is reversed in the two systems.

Required Joinder Of Claims, Dieter L. Hoegen

Michigan Law Review

This comparative study is confined to the situation of one claimant against one claimee. The principles which will be considered seem to be rather well settled both in the American and the German law.

It may, at least, promote a reconsideration of the propriety of those concepts.

Criminal Justice In Germany: Ii, Hans Julius Wolff

S. A. Yet the necessity of having such knowledge is a rather broad one in Germany as in all other European countries selling trade-marked articles to their customers on the other …

International Standing In Court Of Foreign Corporations, Elvin R. Latty

Michigan Law Review

The Supreme Court of Mexico has recently pronounced a decision of more than passing interest to the American Bar, not only because of the legal basis upon which the decision was rendered, but also because of its probable far-reaching consequences. The plaintiff corporation, organized under the laws of Delaware, brought suit for infringement of its trade mark which had been duly registered in Mexico.

It does not appear that the plaintiff was engaged in business …
