Little House Of Horrors: May A Condominium Association Be Held Liable For Failure To Provide Adequate Security Or Maintenance In The Common Areas?, Phyllis M. Rubinstein, William A. Walsh Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The use of the condominium form of ownership has grown at a rapid pace. Since 1961, when Congress authorized the Federal Housing Administration to insure mortgages on condominium dwellings, the lawmaking bodies of every state and the District of Columbia have passed enabling legislation that provides for the creation of a condominium regime with a statutory base. The condominium is a unique form of property ownership, which now constitutes a significant percentage of all new housing starts. Although the development of the condominium has many positive aspects, the unique structure of a typical condominium regime has presented the legal community …
Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton
Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton
University of Richmond Law Review
There is a growing trend in Virginia, as well as in many other states, for injured citizens to hold local governments liable for personal injuries and loss of property resulting from the negligent inspection by building officials of privately owned buildings and structures. The recent abrogation of the doctrine of sovereign immunity in the majority of jurisdictions has served to encourage such litigation, but abrogation alone has proven to be no guarantee of recovery for negligent inspection. Rather, the majority of jurisdictions have continued to enjoy immunity by asserting that building inspectors perform a discretionary governmental function for which no …
Virginia Laws Affecting Churches - Restated, J. Rodney Johnson
Virginia Laws Affecting Churches - Restated, J. Rodney Johnson
University of Richmond Law Review
Twenty-five years ago, the late William T. Muse, then Dean of the University of Richmond School of Law, observed that although there was considerable law in Virginia relating to churches this law was widely scattered throughout the statutes and the cases. To remedy this state of affairs, Dean Muse wrote a concise but complete summary of these laws. In the quarter-century that has elapsed since Dean Muse's article was published, Virginia has adopted a new constitution, many church-related statutes have been enacted and a number of church-related cases have been decided, some of which have refined established principles and others …

Liability Of Landlord For Personal Injury Due To Inadequate Or Lack Of Lighting In Common Areas
Liability Of Landlord For Personal Injury Due To Inadequate Or Lack Of Lighting In Common Areas
University of Richmond Law Review
When a landlord leases a part of the premises to individual tenants, as in an apartment building, he necessarily retains control over areas used in common and must exercise ordinary care to keep these areas in a reasonably safe condition.' This duty arises because common areas are part of the estate reserved by the landlord for the use and benefit of all the tenants. The responsibility of the lessor extends to the lessee, members of the lessee's family, and all persons on the premises at the invitation of the lessee, whether the invitation be express or implied.
Caveat Emptor To Strict Liability: One Hundred Years Of Products Liability Law, Emanuel Emroch
Caveat Emptor To Strict Liability: One Hundred Years Of Products Liability Law, Emanuel Emroch
University of Richmond Law Review
The development of the law of products liability is historically related to industrial growth, business and economic expansion, and the growing demand over the years for consumer protection. As the industrial system has come of age and man has begun to make excursions into outer space, the ancient principle of caveat emptor-"let the buyer beware" has been significantly changed in favor of the consumer. As we emerged from the ancient mercantile society, where the seller and buyer usually met and bargained, to an impersonal market characterized by corporate organization, industrial and technological advancement and complexity, and sophisticated marketing and finance, …

Perpetuities, Privity And Professional Liability, D. Orville Lahy
University of Richmond Law Review
As the number of malpractice cases against members of all professions continues to increase, it seems appropriate to review several new developments which may be of considerable importance to the practicing lawyer with respect to his professional liability. The time has come to approach this delicate subject with some plain language about property law and the portentous responsibility of the legal profession in the context of the rule against perpetuities.
The "Attractive Nuisance Doctrine" In Virginia, William T. Muse
The "Attractive Nuisance Doctrine" In Virginia, William T. Muse
University of Richmond Law Review
Children deem it their prerogative to roam wherever they please. In particular, they have a tendency to wander on other people's land and meddle with anything they find there. In doing so they frequently get hurt. The problem of the liability of occupiers of land for such injuries has taken up much of the time of American courts in the last one hundred years and has resulted in many published decisions. The trial courts in Virginia have devoted much thought and time to this problem, and since 1887 twelve cases have been heard and decided by the Supreme Court of …
