Municipal Corporations-Power Of Board Of Appeals To Vary Application Of Zoning Ordinance
Municipal Corporations-Power Of Board Of Appeals To Vary Application Of Zoning Ordinance
Michigan Law Review
Although there was some dispute among the earlier authorities, it is the rule today that comprehensive zoning ordinances, if enacted under proper legislative authority, are constitutional and will be upheld in so far as they are reasonable in application. In order to give aggrieved property owners an opportunity to obtain relief upon the basis of the ordinance itself without attacking its constitutionality, it has become common practice to give the board of appeals the power to vary the operation of the ordinance in specific cases.
Municipal Corporations - Validity Of Setback Ordinances In Improved Districts
Municipal Corporations - Validity Of Setback Ordinances In Improved Districts
Michigan Law Review
Mulleady sought but was refused permission to inclose with glass a porch on a lot located in the city of Trenton. The municipality was authorized to make building regulations for the purpose of lessening congestion in streets, securing safety from fire, panic, or other danger, promoting health, morals, or general welfare, providing adequate light and air, or avoiding concentration of population. Section 12 of the municipal ordinance provided that no building should be erected, reconstructed, or altered so as to project in any wise beyond the average setback lines observed by the buildings on the same side of the street …
Landlord And Tenant-Covenants-Effect Of A Municipal Ordinance
Landlord And Tenant-Covenants-Effect Of A Municipal Ordinance
Michigan Law Review
L. let a building to T. with the provision in the lease that if the premises should be rendered unfit for occupancy by reason of fire or other casualty, L. would rebuild the same at his own expense. Subsequently the city council passed a building code prohibiting the rebuilding of a structure destroyed more than sixty per cent by fire. The building in this case was almost entirely destroyed by fire and L. was refused a permit to rebuild. Previous to the refusal of the commissioner to grant a permit, T. had preferred L. the monthly rent which L. had …

Constitutional Law-Eminent Domain-Michigan Constitutional Provision
Constitutional Law-Eminent Domain-Michigan Constitutional Provision
Michigan Law Review
The necessity for the exercise of the power of eminent domain in a given case is a legislative question into which the courts cannot inquire, unless an abuse of legislative power is asserted. This results from the very nature of the power to take property for a public use, which power in itself is inherent in sovereignty. When the legislature determines to take a piece of property it is exercising the power in the normal manner. If the use is public, no further determination is necessary once the legislative decision is made. The real reason for the rule would seem …

A Manual On Land Registration, Arthur Gray Powell
Historical Treatises
Excerpt from the preface:
I decided that my labors would prove most useful if I attempted to write a practical, rather than a learned treatise on the subject. While the subject is one that might bear much fruit under learned treatment, still what the present moment most demands is a practical handbook which will inform the profession and the officers who are to administer the law what to do and how to do it, when a landowner comes seeking to register his land.
There has been no effort at style, except that I have striven to state matters in a …

The Rights And Remedies On Permitting, Diverting, Increasing And Obstructing The Natural Flow, John R. Rood
Michigan Law Review
It is evident that no one hard and fast rule could be applied to all cases, either in city or country, "without producing injustice and impolitic results. The needs and conditions in city and country are different. They usually differ widely in different parts of the same city. These considerations have induced the Supreme Court of New Hampshire to adopt the flexible rule, that: "In determining this question all the circumstances of the case would, of course, be considered; and among them the nature and importance of the improvements sought to be made, the extent of the interference with the …
