Injunctions-Power Of A Court To Modify A Final Permanent, Injunction, Charles B. Blackmar S.Ed. Dec 1947

Injunctions-Power Of A Court To Modify A Final Permanent, Injunction, Charles B. Blackmar S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A court which has issued a permanent injunction may, under certain conditions, open and modify or dissolve the injunction even though the decree in the original action has become final. This power is said to be justified by the continuing operation of the injunction, which regulates future conduct as well as determining the rights of the parties as of the date of rendition of the decree. The same proposition can be restated by saying that injunctions are issued to protect existing rights, but provide no immunity against modification of those rights because of later changes in the applicable law or …

Required Joinder Of Claims, William Wirt Blume

Michigan Law Review

There are three principal reasons for requiring the joinder of claims: (1) To prevent the evils of a multiplicity of suits. (2) To eliminate the possibility of more than one recovery on one liability. (3) To make possible the ranking of claims and a pro rata distribution of property. In this paper the writer will undertake a brief survey of the common situations in which joinder of claims is or may be required, with the object of indicating the extent to which the practice is bottomed on the principle of preventing unnecessary suits.
