Family Law 1960 Survey Of New York Law: Part Four--Torts And Family Law, Roger J. Goebel

Faculty Scholarship

This year was one of quiet evolution rather than of substantial progress in the area of family law. The event having the greatest effect on the average citizen was undoubtedly the raising of the marriage license fee in New York City to three dollars. The most noteworthy of the other minor legislative changes were an egalitarian enactment forbidding wives from contracting to abrogate their duty of support of incapacitated husbands and an authorization of resident parole centers for paroled juvenile delinquents whose home life is inadequate .

Credit Cards And The Virtual Acceptance, Frederick M. Hart

Faculty Scholarship

A recent case decided in a lower New York court indicates an interesting use of the virtual acceptance. Neither the decision nor the opinion is of great import, but the case is noteworthy because of the theory advocated by the plaintiff which shows a clever (and successful) attempt to adapt a principle developed during the last century to a modern type of credit transaction. In addition, it furnishes an opportunity to discuss a significant change made by the Uniform Commercial Code in the field of Negotiable Instruments. The action was brought by the financer of a credit club to collect …

Constructive Trust And Equitable Lien: Status Of The Conscious And The Innocent Wrongdoer In Equity, Henry P. Monaghan

Faculty Scholarship

The field of restitution, broadly considered, involves all those situations in which a person who holds property (or has consumed it) must deliver it (or its value) to the claimant in order to prevent the unjust enrichment of the holder. In this sense the ancient common law writs for the recovery of chattels or their value (detinue, replevin, and trover) and land (ejectment) are perceived to be restitutionary in character. A more modem development in the law courts, the allowance of quasi-contractual relief upon the common counts in general assumpsit, rests upon the same basis. In a leading English case, …

Proposed Revision Of New York Civil Practice, Jack B. Weinstein, Michael I. Sovern, Daniel H. Distler, Stanley H. Fuld

Faculty Scholarship

Our present Civil Practice Act is a patchwork affair; provisions have been changed and sections have been added and eliminated as the particular necessity of the times dictated, without any real regard for rational or integrated compilation.

The problem of revision has long confronted us. There has been none for more than 110 years. Very wisely, the Temporary Commission on the Courts directed such a revision, and in 1955 appointed an advisory committee consisting of outstanding attorneys of extensive and varied experience from all over the state. They were delegated to study and prepare appropriate legislation. The research and drafting …

Delay And The Dynamics Of Personal Injury Litigation, Maurice Rosenberg, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

Delayed justice is one of man's stubborn maladies. Just as stubborn is' man himself, and this has led him to persist in prescribing for the delay affliction instead of trying to understand it. Today there are still those who believe that solution can precede understanding and that what this country needs is a good five-cent "cure" for delay. Happily, others have recognized the need to put first things first. All through the country more and more groups are at work methodically getting the facts that are essential to understanding what is wrong and what is needed. The Columbia University Project …
