Liability Of Master For Wilful Or Malicious Acts Of Servant (Ii), Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

Returning now to the general question of the master's liability for malicious acts in cases not affected by any such special considerations as those which have just been considered, it may be premised, as has been already stated, that the tendency of the modem cases is undeniably to attach less importance to the motive with which the act was done and to give more attention to the question whether or not it can be deemed to fall within the scope of the servant's employment.

Unenforceable Trusts And The Rule Against Perpetuities, George L. Clark

Articles

Bequests upon trust to use the income thereof each year in keeping a monument or grave in repair, or in saying masses,8 or in having a brass band to play at the testator's grave each year on the anniversary of the testator's death9 have been held invalid, and the reason given is that the gift is a "perpetuity"1 or is in "violation of the rule against perpetuities."11 What do the courts mean by calling such a gift a "perpetuity?"

In the language of Judge Cowen, which fairly states the doctrine of these cases, "the dividing line is the wilfulness of the act." It is perhaps not strange that a distinction in the master's responsibility for negligent acts and for wilful acts should constantly present itself. The very idea …

Contract Limitations Of The Common Carrier's Liability, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

When Mr. Justice Nelson, in the New Jersey Steam Navigation Company v. Merchants' Bank, speaking of the power of a common carrier by special agreement to restrict his obligation, said for the court: "We are unable to perceive any well founded objection to the restriction," he opened the way for an amount of litigation which, in volume and expense, both to carriers and shippers, scarcely finds its equal on any other question. The Supreme Court of North Carolina was well within the limit when it said: "The right of a common carrier to limit or diminish his general liability by …
