Selected Cases On The Law Of Bailments And Carriers: Including The Quasi-Bailment Relations Of Carriers Of Passengers And Telegraph And Telephone Companies As Carriers, Edwin C. Goddard

Books

In making this volume of "Selected Cases on the Law of Bailments and Carriers," the guiding principle has been to secure the clearest and fullest statement and application of every leading principle of the subject within the range of a moderate sized book. The important cases, especially on the law of Carriers, are so many as to make it impossible to include all the leading eases. Moreover, the law of Carriers is such a very modern thing as to make it desirable to include many cases too recent to be considered leading cases. Accordingly, an effort has been made to …

Administrative Powers Of The President, John R. Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

Turning now to those particular branches of administration where the Constitution confers on the President special powers, we shall find that in these fields he has still more ample authority. Not only do the constitutional grants guard him from encroachment on the part of Congress, but they enable him at times to assume a large degree of legislative power.

Rights Of Employer And Employee To Inventions Made By Either During The Relationship, Dwight B. Cheever

Michigan Law Review

The interesting and difficult question not infrequently arises, what are the respective rights of employer and employee to inventions made by either during the continuance of the relation. While the constantly occurring cases are almost always complicated by special and peculiar facts which must modify to a greater or less extent the decision to be reached in the particular case, it is believed that the following review of the controlling principles and leading cases on the subiect will be of assistance. Since the courts have repeatedly said that "no one is-antitled to a patent for that which he did not …

Outlines Of The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

The subject of Agency belongs to a comparatively recent period in our law … Agency belongs distinctively to a commercial age, and its growth has kept pace with the progress of commercial development. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. As soon as it is conceded that one man may be represented by another in business transactions, and that he may have as many such representatives as occasion may require, the field of commercial activity is immensely widened. The modern business man may thus be constructively present in many places and …

Law Of Dramatic Copyright. Ii., Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

V. Dramatization of novels. - Continued. - Fortunately, we, in the United States, have had very little trouble in regard to the dramatization of novels. The copyright statute provides that the author of a copyrighted book may reserve the right to dramatize and translate his own work. There is no question, however, that but for this act which creates the additional right of dramatization and translation, the English rule would be in force in this country. The exclusive right of translating "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was denied Mrs. Stowe in Stowe v. Thomas, "decided before the enactment of the statute permitting …

Authority Of Allen V. Flood, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

In the case of Allen v. Flood, one of the Lords asked this interesting question, "If the cook says to her master, 'Discharge the butler or I leave you,' and the master discharges the butler, does the butler have an action against the cook?"' This, Lord Shand said, was the simplest form in which the very question in Allen v. Flood could be raised.
