Probate-Recent Statutes-"Streamlining'' The Administration Of Small Estates, Joseph Gricar S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
One by-product of the research leading to the drafting of the Model Probate Code is a monograph by Professor Paul E. Basye which contains a complete survey of the statutes which simplify or eliminate the regular administration of estates. One portion of the monograph is devoted to statutes which provide methods for the administration of small estates. Since the publication of the monograph, there have been a number of statutes enacted which continue· the trend toward a "streamlined" administration of small estates; with these recent statutes this comment is concerned. Statutes which simplify or eliminate administration but which are not …

Appeal And Error-Significance Of Denial Of Certiorari As Precedent By United States Supreme Court, Edward W. Rothe S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Respondents were found guilty of contempt of court for broadcasting dispatches concerning a person about to be tried on a charge of murder. The convictions were reversed on constitutional grounds by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, relying upon certain decisions of the United States Supreme Court. The state sought a writ of certiorari on the ground that the Maryland court had misconceived the rulings of the Supreme Court. Although the application for certiorari was denied, Justice Frankfurter took occasion to write an opinion stating that the denial of the writ meant only that fewer than four members of the …

Attorneys At Law-Substitution Of Attorneys-Protection Of The Attorney's Right To Compensation, G. B. Myers S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff employed an attorney on a contingent fee basis. After the suit had been begun, but before trial, plaintiff moved to dismiss and to substitute attorneys so that he might bring the action in another state. The attorney objected, claiming that the court should secure him in his right to one-third of the recovery. Plaintiff contended that the attorney was only entitled to the reasonable value of his services. On argument to the court, held, for plaintiff. When the employment is upon a contingent fee basis the attorney discharged without cause has a right only to the reasonable value …

Bills And Notes-The Meaning Of "Next Business Day", Richard B. Gushée S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Two checks, payable to the plaintiff, were forwarded to the defendant drawee for payment on February 13, 1949. After the close of banking hours on February 14, the defendant telegraphed the presenting bank advising that it would not pay the checks. The applicable Illinois statute allowed banks until the end of the "next business day" following the day of presentation to decide whether or not they would pay checks. The plaintiff argued that "business" qualified "day" and that defendant therefore should have indicated its decision within business hours on the day following the day of presentation, and that since it …
International Law-Jurisdictional Immunity Of United Nations Employees-The Gubitchev Case, Melvin J. Spencer S.Ed.
International Law-Jurisdictional Immunity Of United Nations Employees-The Gubitchev Case, Melvin J. Spencer S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Diplomatic officers are immune from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state under well-recognized principles of customary international law, which principles are said to be a part of the law of the United States. As international organizations developed, certain privileges and immunities were given to their personnel by treaties or agreements and it appeared that by common consent of the family of nations their right to immunities might also come to be recognized as a principle of the law of nations. As yet the United States has not recognized such a principle and jurisdictional immunity here must still be provided …

Constitutional Law-Fourth Amendment-Search Without A Warrant Incident To Arrest, G. B. Myers S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Respondent was convicted of selling and of possessing and concealing forged and altered stamps of the United States with intent to defraud. The primary evidence of "possessing and concealing" consisted of numerous forged and altered stamps taken from respondent's one room office by Federal officers immediately after his arrest. The stamps were the product of a one and one-half hour search of the desk, safe and file cabinets in the office. The officers, though without a search warrant for the premises, made the arrest pursuant to a valid warrant. Respondent protested the search, and this protest was renewed by motions …

Discovery-Disclosure Of Trade Secrets In Tort Action, Cleaveland J. Rice S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Prior to trial of suit to recover damages for hand infection alleged to have been caused by the use of defendant's washing compound, plaintiff filed interrogatories requesting the ingredients and proportions used in the compound. Defendant's offer to divulge its secret formula to the court in confidence until the plaintiff should make a prima facie case was ruled upon adversely by the court. Defendant thereupon suffered the statutory penalty of default rather than disclose the secret. Held, default judgment affirmed. In this instance trade secrets were not privileged, and there was no abuse of discretion in the trial court's …

Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, General Secretary of the Communist Party in the United States, was convicted of contempt of Congress after he failed to obey a subpoena of the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives. At the trial counsel for the petitioner during voir dire examination inquired as to the employment of each prospective juror, and challenged all Government employees for cause. Counsel argued that because of the "Loyalty Order" and other security investigations taking place in Washington, Government employees would be afraid to risk the possible consequences of an acquittal and were therefore subject to implied bias. The challenge …

Labor Law--Arbitration--Management's Disciplinary Authority On Union's Breach Of A No-Strike Covenant, Jean Engstrom S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A demonstration protesting the proper discharge of two union officials resulted in the discharge of ninety-six participating employees. The following day the company commuted the penalty to a two-week suspension. The effective collective bargaining agreement provided that there should be no strikes or lockouts "for any reason" unless the grievance and arbitration procedure had been exhausted but it reserved the employer's right to discharge for breach of the agreement. The arbitration board awarded employees back pay for the time of suspension and seniority and other rights incident to employment for the entire period. Although the employee had violated the no-strike …

Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff labor union called a strike against defendant auto corporation in May, 1948, without conforming to the prescribed state procedure. The purpose of the strike was to enforce demands for higher wages and the strike was conducted peacefully. To enjoin possible criminal prosecution the union instituted the instant suit in the state courts, contending that the Michigan labor mediation law, the much publicized "Bonine-Tripp Act," violated the due process and commerce clauses of the Federal Constitution. The Michigan Supreme Court reversed the decision of the trial court which had granted the injunction. On appeal, held, reversed. Congress has occupied …

The plaintiff's complaint for libel set out the letter published, but a motion to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action was sustained by the circuit court on the grounds that there was no allegation of special damages to the plaintiff.

Restitution-Constructive Trust On Recission For Fraud Will Not Displace Lien For Repairs On Vessel, William H. Yager
Michigan Law Review
The Maryland Dry Dock Company sued to enforce its statutory maritime lien for converting a cargo vessel owned by the Republic Steamship Corporation into a passenger ship, and the International Refugee Organization contested the action on the ground that the money used to purchase the vessel was obtained by Republic from IRO by fraud. IRO argued that Republic did not have authority to bind the vessel because the vessel was impressed with a constructive trust in IRO's favor, and that if Republic did have authority the trust took preference over the lien. Held, a constructive trust on rescission for …

Taxation-Income Tax-Corporation Not Taxable On A Sale Of Property By Stockholders Following Genuine Liquidation Distribution, R. Lawrence Storms S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The stockholders of a closely held electric utility corporation offered to sell all the corporate stock to a cooperative competitor. The cooperative countered with an offer to buy a part of the corporation's physical assets. Hoping to avoid a heavy corporate capital gains tax, the stockholders caused the corporation to distribute to them in partial liquidation the property in question, and then executed the previously contemplated sale themselves. The commissioner assessed and collected a capital gains tax from the corporation which then sued and recovered the amount of the tax in the court of claims. On appeal, held, affirmed. …

Soviet Socialism And Due Process Of Law, John N. Hazard
Soviet Socialism And Due Process Of Law, John N. Hazard
Michigan Law Review
An eminent American legal philosopher has recently written in the pages of this Review that Soviet leaders have discovered some ancient truths-namely, that some respect must be paid, sooner or later, to the principle of legality. In the light of various memoirs and disclosures of persons who have experienced or studied life in Soviet labor camps, such a statement invites incredulity. Can it have any basis in fact? Can it be possible that there is a dualism in Soviet practice, with one set of experiences supporting the conclusion that there is a trend toward legality and another set of experiences …
The Constitutional Significance Of Delegated Legislation In England, J. A. G. Griffith
The Constitutional Significance Of Delegated Legislation In England, J. A. G. Griffith
Michigan Law Review
The Committee on Ministers' Powers defined delegated legislation as the "exercise by a subordinate authority, such as a Minister, of the legislative power delegated to him by Parliament." This definition followed logically from the terms of reference which required the Committee to report "what safeguards are desirable or necessary to secure the constitutional principles of the sovereignty of Parliament and the supremacy of the Law."' Behind these two statements lie certain assumptions which coloured the Report of the Committee and influenced its recommendations. One of these assumptions is that Ministers of the Crown are "subordinate" to Parliament so that any …
Faces On The Court House Steps, A. F. Neumann
Faces On The Court House Steps, A. F. Neumann
Michigan Law Review
Judge Frank may one day write a book which it will be possible to take or leave, but I doubt it. Few writers, with his ability and insight in the field of administration of justice, I suppose, succeed in evoking in their readers the spirited reactions that his writings produce. This is the highest praise that any reader can bestow-even though his reaction be a spirited disagreement.
In his most recent book, Courts on Trial, he has attempted to· destroy what he calls "myths" in legal thinking describing the fact-finding process just as he did for the rule determination …

Administrative Law-Federal Administrative Procedure Act-The Supreme Court Gives The Act Its First Interpretation, Fred W. Freeman S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The Federal Administrative Procedure Act received its first thorough consideration by the Supreme Court in the recent case of Wong Yang Sung v. McGrath. The Court held that deportation proceedings must conform to section 5, which provides for notice, opportunity for a hearing, separation of prosecution and quasi-judicial functions, and the issuance of declaratory orders by the agency, and to section 11, which prescribes an independent status for presiding officers. The scope of section 5 is limited to administrative adjudications "required by statute to be determined on the record after opportunity for an agency hearing." There is no specific requirement …
