Extraordinary Writ Of Prohibition In Missouri, The, J. P. Mcbaine

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

The frequent use of the writ of prohibition by the Bar of this state has incited the writer to investigate the Missouri decisions and, if possible, to classify them to the end that we may make an orderly and analytical statement of the Missouri law on this important topic.

The Rylands Vs. Fletcher Rule In West Virginia, Edmund C. Dickinson Jun 1924

The Rylands Vs. Fletcher Rule In West Virginia, Edmund C. Dickinson

West Virginia Law Review

The apparent tendency of recent legislation to recur to the early conception of liability regardless of fault has called attention again to that much discussed subject, and particularly to that manifestation of it which we call the rule in Rylands v. Fletcher. It is not the purpose of the writer to discuss the theoretical merits of that rule or to engage in any controversy as to its scope or utility. Assuming its existence and recognition in some jurisdictions, the purpose of this article is to analyze the West Virginia cases involving the doctrine with a view to ascertaining the extent …


Recognition Of New Types Of Negotiable Instruments, Ralph W. Aigler Jun 1924

Recognition Of New Types Of Negotiable Instruments, Ralph W. Aigler

Articles

“The expression ‘negotiable instrument’ is one of variable meaning, and what is meant thereby often can be determined only by the context… Primarily ‘negotiable’ indicates transferability with a certain facility…..

“It may be not without interest to consider how instruments gain the negotiable quality and to trace, sketchily perhaps, the process of recognition.”


The New Colombian Law Of Bills And Notes Jun 1924

The New Colombian Law Of Bills And Notes

Michigan Law Review

The collection of "Laws Presented to the Government of Colombia by the Commission of American Financial Experts, and an Exposition of Motives by the Latter" (Bogota, 1923, Casa Editorial de Cromos; with an introduction by Dr. Cesar Julio Rodriguez), states by way of introduction that Law 60 of 1922 authorizes the government to contract abroad with five experts in public administration to come to Colombia and assist in the preparation of bills for laws or decrees for the reorganization of the national fiscal system. In accordance with this law the Colombian Minister at Washington, Dr. Enrique Olaya Herrera, engaged the …


Simplified Civil Procedure Under The Wisconsin Code Jun 1924

Simplified Civil Procedure Under The Wisconsin Code

Michigan Law Review

A rare illustration of the possibility of simplified procedure, under the modern codes, is presented by a recent decision of the Wisconsin court. Singularly enough the case was also productive of some very interesting problems of substantive law, and will be commented upon, from that standpoint, elsewhere in this publication. As for the fact situation, it will be sufficient for our present purposes, to note that the plaintiff was injured, while riding as a guest, as the result of a collision occasioned by the negligent driving of her host and the operator of another automobile. The guest and the driver …


To Contribute Or Not To Contribute?--A Basic Inconsistency In The Law Of Negligence Jun 1924

To Contribute Or Not To Contribute?--A Basic Inconsistency In The Law Of Negligence

Michigan Law Review

X accepts an invitation to ride with his friend A, in the latter's coupe. B has a party of friends in his new limousine. Both drivers are careless; the cars collide; and X is injured. X brings suit against B, and the latter has A brought into court as a defendant, a proceeding permitted under the provisions of the Wisconsin code of civil procedure. B claims the right of contribution against A, in the event that X is successful in his suit, and also asks affirmative relief against A for the damage done to his limousine. A counters with a …

"Current Funds" As "Money" In Commercial Paper Jun 1924

"Current Funds" As "Money" In Commercial Paper

Michigan Law Review

By the Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law, §1 (2), it is provided that an instrument to be negotiable "must contain an unconditional promise or order to pay a sum certain in money"; and by Section 6 (5) it is declared that "the validity and negotiable character of an instrument are not affected by the fact that * * * [it] designates a particular kind of current money in which payment is to be made." The Illinois statute inserts before the word "designates" the following: "Is payable in currency or current funds, or." There is nothing in the language of the statute …

It is assumed that O acts within his territorial jurisdiction.


Contracts--Modern Rules As To Past Consideration Furnished At Request May 1924

Contracts--Modern Rules As To Past Consideration Furnished At Request

Michigan Law Review

Very early in the history of contract law it was recognized that goods delivered or services rendered in the past could not furnish valid consideration for a present promise, for there was no quid pro quo, no element of exchange. But the equities in favor of the promisee in such cases, in view of the fact that assumpsit would lie only on an express promise, were frequently so strong that in 1615 we find an exception created. Lampleigh v. Brathwait, Hobart 105, held, that if the past services or goods had been furnished at request, the present promise …

The Passing Of The Partnership By Operation Of Law

Michigan Law Review

A case recently decided in the United States Supreme Court, Giles et al. v. Vette et al., Sup. Ct. U. S. Adv. Ops. Jan. 7, 1924, No. 59, gives us another illustration of the clever way in which the codifiers of the UNIFORM PARTNERSHIP ACT steered their course between the epithetical jurisprudence, built upon the case of Waugh v. Carver, [1793] 2 Henry Blackstone, 235, and the jurisprudence of realities, derived from the interpretation of Cox v. Hickman, [1861] 8 H. of L. cases, 268, by the English court in Mollwo v. Court of Wards, [1872] …

Some Constitutional Phases Of The Cummins Railroad Consolidation Bill Apr 1924

Some Constitutional Phases Of The Cummins Railroad Consolidation Bill

Michigan Law Review

The Supreme Court in four decisions has gone far in sustaining Congress and the Interstate Commerce Commission in regulating interstate commerce: (1) in sustaining the Adamson Act of 1916, establishing an eight-hour day for interstate railroads. Wilson v. New, 243 U. S. 332 (1917); Ft. Smith, etc. R.R. 71. Mills, 253 U.S. 306 (1920); (2) in sustaining the "recapture" clause in the Transportation Act of 1920 impounding surplus earnings of prosperous railroads, Dayton-Goose Creek Ry. v. United States, decided January 7, 1924; (3) in sustaining the order of the Commission raising intrastate railroad fares which were so …
