Party Walls - Replacement And Removal, Charles W. Allen

Michigan Law Review

The usual American theory of the rights of adjoining land owners in a party wall is that each owns in severalty that part of the wall on his land and each has an easement of support in that part on the land of the other. If the structure is erected under an express contract, the rights of the parties are determined by the terms of their contract. And when the easement of support is created by prescription, its scope is measured by the prior user, and no right to remove or replace the wall can exist by virtue of the …

Evidence - Curative Admissibility, Theodore R. Vogt

Michigan Law Review

If one party be permitted, for any reason, to introduce inadmissible evidence, may his opponent counter with like evidence to offset any· advantage the former may have obtained? Or, as Dean Wigmore puts it: "Does one inadmissibility justify or excuse another?"

The problem is again brought to notice by the decision of the Iowa Supreme Court in the recent case of Maasdam v. Jefferson County Farmers' Mutual Insurance Association. In that case the lower court was reversed because it refused to permit the defendant to introduce evidence as to the market value of the insured articles after plaintiff had …

Corporations - Common Board - Fraud - Ratification By Majority Stockholders, Theodore R. Vogt

Michigan Law Review

Defendants were directors and officers of a managing corporation and its subsidiary. Both corporations paid defendants salaries, those from the managing corporation approximating the fees paid to it by the subsidiary for management services which were rendered by defendants. Held, payment of management fees by the subsidiary under such circumstances is fraudulent and recoverable from defendants, in a derivative suit by minority stockholders, despite a resolution of the majority stockholders of the subsidiary ratifying the payment. Eshleman v. Keenan, (Del. Ch. 1936) 187 A. 25.

Taxation - Exemptions - Municipally-Owned Property

Michigan Law Review

In settlement for collateral notes given to secure its deposits in a bank which became insolvent, a municipality had conveyed to it an office building, located in a county other than the one in which said municipality was situated. The city thereafter rented the offices to tenants operating private businesses. The county in which the building was located subjected it to an ad valorem tax. Contesting the right to its collection, the city failed to pay the assessed taxes, for a period of four years. Held, the property, although municipally-owned, not being held or used for any governmental or …

The Fiction Of Peaceful Picketing, Frank E. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

Efforts of labor organizations during the past decade to secure the enactment of legislation guaranteeing strikers the privilege of peaceably picketing their employers' places of business, appear to have gained for union members no more than a Pyrrhic victory. Although at least nineteen states now have statutes intended to prohibit judicial interference with peaceful picketing, a review of recent cases in this ever timely field indicates that in general such laws have been construed to limit the privileges of pickets to activities so pusillanimous as to be of little aid to the strikers and of little annoyance to employers. In …

Election Of Remedies - As Between Conversion And Replevin - Measure Of Recovery

Michigan Law Review

Through fraud, defendant received from plaintiff certain shares of stock together with other securities to secure a loan of $300,000 to the plaintiff. Defendant wrongfully hypothecated this stock. Plaintiff, after learning of the conversion, sued for the specific stock in replevin. During the course of the action he changed his demand to one in damages for conversion. The court held that plaintiff may not change the theory of his cause of action from replevin to conversion. Satterwhite v. Harriman Nat. Bank & Trust Co., (D. C. N. Y. 1935) 13 F. Supp. 493.
