Torts, Cynthia Trimboli Adams, Charles R. Adams Iii
Mercer Law Review
It was a survey period marked by the lack of reconciliation. As always, the victims of civil wrongs other than breaches of contract, unreconciled to the perpetrators of those wrongs, sought redress instead 'in the courts, especially, for present purposes, the appellate courts. Plaintiffs remained unreconciled to the limitations on their rights in malpractice cases and prosecuted more appeals than ever in this burgeoning legal field. Defendants of many stripes, and some plaintiffs, too, unreconciled to the litigational tactics of their adversaries, continued to flood the courts with allegations of abusive litigation. The courts themselves, apparently unreconciled to some of …

Closing The American Products Liability Frontier: The Rejection Of Liability Without Defect, James A. Henderson Jr., Aaron Twerski
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
For over one hundred years American courts expanded the rights of plaintiffs in products liability cases. First the courts eliminated the privity requirement, next the necessity of proving fault, and finally, the necessity of proving a production defect. The next logical step in this progression would be to eliminate the need to show any type of defect at all. In this Article, Professors Henderson and Twerski assert that this step cannot and will not be taken. They explore both the possibility of across-the-board liability without defect and the more limited idea of product-category liability without defect. They describe how a …

Canadian Tort Law: A Review For The Nineties, B T. Hill
Canadian Tort Law: A Review For The Nineties, B T. Hill
Dalhousie Law Journal
My purpose in writing this review follows from a tradition initiated by feminist scholars. My analysis of Canadian Tort Law. Cases, Notes and Materials begins with a survey of the casebook with commentary concerning its historical development as a casebook, focussing on instances where gender issues are raised. I then offer a critique concerning the lack of consideration and misappropriation of gender issues in the recently released 1990 edition of the casebook, using illustrative examples from the casebook and a selection of two feminists' critique of tort law. Some modest suggestions for improvement are made throughout the review, and the …

Constructing A New Action For Negligent Infliction Of Economic Loss: Building On Cardozo And Coase, Michael D. Lieder
Constructing A New Action For Negligent Infliction Of Economic Loss: Building On Cardozo And Coase, Michael D. Lieder
Washington Law Review
This Article proposes the creation of a new tort of negligent infliction of economic loss, a hybrid of negligence, negligent representation, and breach of contract. An action in this new tort would permit an injured party to recover for economic loss caused by a person with whom the party is not in contractual privity. This Article focuses on the infliction of economic loss by negligent construction, where courts have applied various doctrines and arrived at six distinct and inconsistent approaches to liability issues. This Article provides a solution applicable to litigation for negligent construction. Any action should protect an injured …

Morguard Investments Limited: Reforming Federalism From The Top, Peter Finkle, Simon Coakeley
Dalhousie Law Journal
Nations are not only unified markets, but usually they are at least that. In most discussions about national unity, adequate account is taken of the importance of the free movement of goods, capital and people. Rarely, though, does the discussion encompass the necessity of legally assuring such movement in the domestic marketplace through the practical modality of secure remedies for breaches of obligations in contracts and tort. De Savoye v. Morguard Investments Ltd is a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that considers the extent of jurisdiction that provincial courts may exercise and the associated concern with the …

The Georgia Jury And Negligence: The View From The Bench, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
It is virtually impossible to think seriously about torts and not think of negligence; it is virtually impossible to think seriously about negligence and not think of the jury. The staples of the common-law negligence system--striking a liability profile, and assessing a causal loss--are the staples of the civil jury province. The historic inevitableness of the fact, however, has never put the matter beyond reflection, scrutiny, reconsideration, challenge, nor controversy. Assuredly, controversy.

Draft Of From Privacy To Publicity - 1991, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
In defense of a "right 'to be let alone'", Warren and Brandeis published their landmark article, The Right to Privacy, approximately one hundred years ago. Over seventy years later, the American Law Institute endorsed a tort right in defense of privacy, and also included in its section on privacy rights a cause of action to redress "appropriation" of one's "name or likeness". Since then courts have used various bases to grant celebrities rights to protect their commercial identities from commercial exploitation by others. Although most states now recognize a right of publicity either by judicial decision or statute, the cause …

Exclusion Of Personal Injury Damages: Have The Courts Gone Too Far?, Susan K. Matlow
Exclusion Of Personal Injury Damages: Have The Courts Gone Too Far?, Susan K. Matlow
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Internal Revenue Code (Code) sweeps into gross income "all income from whatever source derived," including, but not limited to, compensation for services, interest, dividends, rents, and alimony payments.' Specific statutory exclusions may exempt from gross income certain items that Congress has determined deserve favorable tax treatment. One such exclusion, section 104(a)(2), provides that gross income shall not include "the amount of any damages received (whether by suit or agreement and whether as lump-sums or as periodic payments) on account of personal injuries or sickness."' Congress enacted section 104(a)(2)'s predecessor in 1918," and in spite of subsequent revolutionary tax reform, …
