The Unborn Plaintiff, David A. Gordon
Michigan Law Review
It is almost twenty-five years since Professor Winfield's article "The Unborn Child" was published. The development of this area of the law during the past quarter century is probably summed up in the distinction between that title and the one to this article.
The Joint And Survivor Account In Michigan-Progress Through Confusion, Richard V. Wellman
The Joint And Survivor Account In Michigan-Progress Through Confusion, Richard V. Wellman
Michigan Law Review
Legal writers have been intrigued for years by the challenge of classifying and identifying the resulting incidents of the joint and survivor bank deposit when an attempt is made to use it as a mode of effectuating a donor depositor's intention to confer benefits on a donee co-depositor. Much in their discussions is useful to one who is concerned with the concept that has evolved in Michigan, where a 1909 statute states that some co-depositors are presumed to be joint tenants. Michigan judges and practitioners must determine, however, whether comment about national trends is applicable here, for in many respects …

Sovereign Immunity Restricted To Noncommercial Activity-Victory Transport Inc. V. Comisaria General De Abastecimientos Y Transportes, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Although frequently criticized, the established doctrine of absolute sovereign immunity has long prevented suits in the courts of the United States against foreign nations without their consent. The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, however, in ,em>Victory Transport Inc. v. Comisaria General de Abastecimientos y Transportes, affirmed a district court order compelling arbitration between an American shipowner and the Spanish Ministry of Commerce in accordance with the terms of a contract to carry wheat from Alabama to Spain. Although the Spanish Consul asserted that the Ministry, as a branch of the Spanish government, was immune from suit …

Evidence introduced at a hearing before a Federal Trade Commission trial …

Evidence Of The Absence Of Fresh Complaint Is Admissible In Sodomy Prosecution-United States V. Goodman, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was convicted of two counts of sodomy by a general court martial. The alleged victims of the defendant had failed to complain immediately following the incidents, and evidence of such failure on the part of one of the witnesses had been admitted at trial. A Navy board of review affirmed the conviction, modifying the sentence. Defendant appealed to the United States Court of Military Appeals on the ground that it had been prejudicial error for the law officer to refuse to give a proffered instruction to the court-martial panel respecting the victim's failure to make fresh complaints. On appeal, …

Reasonable Separation Agreement Executed On Understanding That Wife Would Obtain Foreign Divorce Is Invalid-Viles V. Viles, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In July 1951, plaintiff and her husband, both New York residents, separated under a temporary agreement entitling the wife to 400 dollars a month for support. Soon thereafter, the husband urged his wife to divorce him, but she would not assent unless he raised her support payments to 459 dollars per month. This increase was embodied in a permanent separation agreement, executed in October 1951, which the husband signed on the oral understanding that the wife would obtain a divorce in the Virgin Islands. The wife journeyed to the Virgin Islands and, in December 1951, obtained a valid divorce decree. …

Fifth Circuit Relies On Administrative Standards In School Desegregation Cases--Singleton V. Jackson Municipal Separate School District, Michigan Law Review
Fifth Circuit Relies On Administrative Standards In School Desegregation Cases--Singleton V. Jackson Municipal Separate School District, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
On June 22, 1965, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit entered an order requiring the Jackson, Mississippi, Municipal Separate School District to submit a plan for the total desegregation of the district, and specifically requiring that at least four grades be desegregated in the school year 1965-1966. In reaching its decision, the court gave "great weight" to the standards used by the Office of Education of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to determine whether schools qualify for federal financial assistance. The court reasoned that since the objectives of both the judiciary and the …

Purely Economic Justifications Sufficient To Permit Exercise Of Federal Eminent Domain Power--United States V. Certain Parcels Of Land, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The federal government, pursuant to authorizing statutes, sought to condemn defendant's land, alleging that it was needed as a source of fill for a section of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Defendant offered proof demonstrating that commercial fill could easily be purchased within the immediate area, that it was therefore not necessary for the government to condemn any land in order to complete the construction of the highway, and that his land was zoned "light industrial" and was thus ideally suited for future development. Employing the usual stringent proof requirements, the court granted the government's motion for …

Differing Views On Repayments By Manufacturers To Dealers For Expenses Required By The Manufacturers As Price Readjustments Under I.R.C. Section 6416(B)(1)--General Motors Corp. V. United States; Waterman-Bic Pen Corp. V. United States, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Internal Revenue Code of 1954 exacts a manufacturer's excise tax based on sales price; if the sales price is readjusted by means of a "bona fide discount, rebate or allowance," the manufacturer is entitled to a tax credit under section 6416(b) (1). In two recent cases, General Motors Corp. v. United States, and Waterman-Bic Pen Corp. v. United States, manufacturers have sought tax credits, claiming that their reimbursements to dealers for expenses which the manufacturers had required the dealers to incur subsequent to the time of sale constituted price readjustments. The Court of Claims in General Motors …

Tying Arrangement With Trademark As The Tying Item Is Not A Per Se Violation Of The Antitrust Laws-Susser V. Carvel Corp., Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Several independent franchised soft ice-cream outlets brought suit for treble damages against Carvel Corporation, the franchising company, alleging that the contract between them constituted an illegal tying arrangement in violation of section 3 of the Clayton Act and sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. The contract bound the dealers to purchase from Carvel-appointed suppliers all commodities sold as part of the retail dairy composite. Plaintiffs stipulated that they would rely on per se violations at trial. The district court found that the plaintiffs had failed to show the alleged violations and, in any case, the defendant had proved …

Legislation Requiring Child To Support Mother In State Asylum Is A Denial Of Equal Protection-Department Of Mental Hygiene V. Kirchner, Michigan Law Review
Legislation Requiring Child To Support Mother In State Asylum Is A Denial Of Equal Protection-Department Of Mental Hygiene V. Kirchner, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The California Department of Mental Hygiene brought suit under section 6650 of the state's Welfare and Institutions Code, a provision commonly known as a relative support statute, against the administratrix to recover 7,500 dollars from the intestate's estate. This amount represented the cost of food, housing, and treatment received by intestate's mother in a state mental hospital during the four years she had been confined there following a civil sanity hearing. Plaintiff was granted judgment on the pleadings. On appeal to the California Supreme Court, held, reversed. Since mental hospitals serve a proper public function, it is a denial …
Personal Holding Companies And The Revenue Act Of 1964, Jerome B. Libin
Personal Holding Companies And The Revenue Act Of 1964, Jerome B. Libin
Michigan Law Review
By 1964, many years had elapsed since significant changes were made in the federal income tax treatment of so-called "personal holding companies." For that reason alone, any amendments contained in the Revenue Act of 1964 that dealt with personal holding companies would have deserved attention. But the fact is that the changes made by the 1964 Act are so powerful in their thrust that they require the most careful kind of study by every practitioner charged with advising closely held corporations. Since the new provisions are rather complicated in nature, such a study cannot lead to a full understanding of …

The Act Of State Doctrine After Sabbatino, William J. Bogaard
The Act Of State Doctrine After Sabbatino, William J. Bogaard
Michigan Law Review
The United States Supreme Court recently decided, in Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino, that American courts must enforce a recognized foreign government's expropriation decree even though the decree violates international law. The Court, contrary to the views of respected international lawyers, found this result dictated by the "act of state doctrine," which bars American courts from reviewing the validity of another nation's official acts. The decision, amid frequent revolutionary confiscations and national programs of expropriation, seriously draws into question the wisdom of further investments in developing countries. This is unfortunate because American foreign investments benefit the receiving country …
Grand Jury Secrecy, Richard M. Calkins
Grand Jury Secrecy, Richard M. Calkins
Michigan Law Review
When a leading state such as Illinois enacts "reform" legislation, an impact on the legislatures of other jurisdictions may be anticipated. Accordingly, a need exists for an examination of this legislation in the light of the common-law background of grand jury secrecy and for a further analysis of it in the face of the growing trend toward more liberalized discovery of grand jury minutes in other jurisdictions. It is the contention of the author that such an empirical study will demonstrate that this legislation adopted by Illinois is contrary to all modern judicial thinking and is, in fact, a retrogressive …
