Optometrists' Tort Liability, Gerald F. Sweeney Jan 1959

Optometrists' Tort Liability, Gerald F. Sweeney

Cleveland State Law Review

The question "Do you need glasses?" should be answered in the affirmative by many people, nowadays. Most of us, at some time, find it necessary to visit one of the many establishments for the correction of defective vision. When the time does arrive, we are confident that our chosen "professional" will fill our needs adequately, yet, mistakes and oversights occur. What happens when a serious injury occurs as a result of this possibility? This article attempts to answer that question briefly.


Duration Of Seamen's Maintenance And Cure Rights, Howard S. Stern Jan 1959

Duration Of Seamen's Maintenance And Cure Rights, Howard S. Stern

Cleveland State Law Review

It is well settled that an injured or disabled seaman is entitled to "maintenance and cure" at the expense of the owners of his vessel at least until the end of the voyage,' provided that the need therefor exists that long. The minimum limits of this liability are fixed and certain, and have been so for over fifty years. The more important problem concerns the maximum limit of liability. Stating the problem in the form of a query: At what point does liability for maintenance and cure cease? On this point there is wide divergence of opinion. One of the …


Drafting Of The Simple Will, Ellis V. Rippner Jan 1959

Drafting Of The Simple Will, Ellis V. Rippner

Cleveland State Law Review

The so-called "simple" will is by far the most common type of will drafted by the attorney. In jest it has been said to be that legal instrument requested by the newly retired business man who wishes to "place his house in order" prior to an extended vacation. Double-parked in front of his attorney's office, he wants the will drafted "instanter" so that he can start his trip with "peace of mind." In fact, seldom does a client suggest that his estate problem requires anything more than a "simple will." In truth, however, no properly drafted will can properly be …


Physician's Use Of Hospital Facilities: Right Or Privilege, Jewel Hammond Mack Jan 1959

Physician's Use Of Hospital Facilities: Right Or Privilege, Jewel Hammond Mack

Cleveland State Law Review

The issue is clear: Do the hospitals exist primarily as corporations (business entities), of primary concern only as "private preserves" governed solely as their administrators wish?Or do the hospitals exist primarily as facilities for medical aid to the public; as instrumentalities for physicians to use in aiding the public? Put otherwise, the issue is: Do doctors exist for the convenience of hospitals, or hospitals for the convenience of doctors? Should public interests or hospital management interests come first?The answers are obvious. The law as it is now is contrary to the public's interests.


Physician-Patient Privilege In Ohio, Naoma Lee Stewart Jan 1959

Physician-Patient Privilege In Ohio, Naoma Lee Stewart

Cleveland State Law Review

Throughout its history the physician-patient privilege has been the subject of controversial discussion, and in recent years these discussions have been dominated by voices of bitter disapproval and severe criticism. Judges, lawyers, textwriters, and teachers have denounced the privilege by characterizing it as everything from a "monumental hoax" to a "clever legerdemain loaned by the law to the parties to suppress the truth." Critics maintain that in the majority of reported cases the patient invoked the privilege, not to protect his privacy or to prevent the disclosure of humiliating personal facts (supposedly the purpose for the creation of the privilege), …


Hospital Records As Evidence, Robert B. Dunsmore Jan 1959

Hospital Records As Evidence, Robert B. Dunsmore

Cleveland State Law Review

Court decisions are not in harmony as to the admissibility of hospital charts and records as evidence in a court of law. At common law they are not recognized as valid evidence. In the absence of a statute requiring hospitals to keep clinical charts or records, many courts adopt the view that such a chart or record is admissible as evidence only under some exception to the Hearsay Rule and after a proper foundation has been laid for bringing the case within the particular exception. If such a foundation is laid, a hospital chart or record is, according to the …

Exculpatory Clauses In Leases, Margaret Mazza Jan 1959

Exculpatory Clauses In Leases, Margaret Mazza

Cleveland State Law Review

Exculpatory clauses in leases are used in order to free the lessor from liability for his future acts of negligence. For the purpose of this article we will assume that there was a legal duty resting upon the party asserting the clause as a defense. The validity of such a provision then requires a choice between two conflicting policies: (1) a person should be liable for the negligent breach of his duty; (2) a person should have the right to contract freely. The common law developed the rights and duties of the parties in certain relations and determined that damages …

Bankruptcy - Priorities - Status Of Employer Contributions To Union Welfare Fund, John W. Simpson Jan 1959

Bankruptcy - Priorities - Status Of Employer Contributions To Union Welfare Fund, John W. Simpson

Michigan Law Review

Under a collective bargaining agreement an employer was required to contribute eight dollars monthly to a union welfare fund for each of its employees who were union members. A trust agreement authorized the trustees of this fund to file claims of priority in any proceeding involving the employer's insolvency. In a bankruptcy proceeding the trustees of the fund sought priority as wage claimants for the employer's unpaid contributions to the fund which had accrued during the three months prior to bankruptcy. In the same proceeding the United States sought priority for unpaid taxes. The referee ruled that the unpaid employer …
