Guerrieri V. Severini, Jesse W. Carter Oct 1958

Guerrieri V. Severini, Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Where seller repudiated a contract for goods, buyer had the right to treat the declaration as a wrongful renunciation of the contract and obtain similar goods to fulfill the obligation, then seek damages from the seller for the increased cost.


Fox V. Aced [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter Nov 1957

Fox V. Aced [Dissent], Jesse W. Carter

Jesse Carter Opinions

Although there had been a breach of a real property exchange agreement because of the failure of one party to deliver property to the other, the damages award was improper because the award was based in part on bad faith that was not shown.


Washington Timber Deeds And Contracts, Ralph W. Johnson Apr 1957

Washington Timber Deeds And Contracts, Ralph W. Johnson

Articles

The law of Washington concerning the interests conveyed by timber deeds and contracts is foggy. Many vital questions are still totally unanswered, or have been left in confusion, by the cases in point. The principal area of doubt revolves around the question of whether standing timber, which has been sold separately from the land on which it stands, is realty or personalty. The answer is vital for many reasons. It determines whether a husband has power as manager of the community to convey community-owned timber without his wife's signature, which statute of frauds applies to a timber transaction, which recording …


Co-Operative Marketing--Statutes Providing Penalty Against Third Persons Who Induce Breach Of Marketing Contracts, Thomas F. Broden Jan 1947

Co-Operative Marketing--Statutes Providing Penalty Against Third Persons Who Induce Breach Of Marketing Contracts, Thomas F. Broden

Journal Articles

Capitalism is most prudent in accepting into its legal system measures of governmental regulation which apply to economic relations generally and contract relations particularly. Efforts of the executive, legislative or judicial branches of either British or American governments to directly control phases of contractual relationships have generally met staunch and rigid opposition. The spirit of the sacredness and inviolability of the contract relation was a logical outgrowth of the capitalistic system in its inception. At that time freedom was a passion, self-sufficiency a goal. From an era thus shrouded and bedecked with individualism, it is little wonder that measures affecting, …

Conflict Of Laws--The Law Controlling The Validity Of A Married Woman's Contract, Victor H. Lane

Articles

The case of Poole v. Perkins (Va.), IO S. E. 240, involves that troublesome question of whether the validity of a contract is to be ruled by the law of the place where made, or by that of the place of performance.


Contracts For The Benefit Of A Third Person In Michigan, Grover C. Grismore Jan 1920

Contracts For The Benefit Of A Third Person In Michigan, Grover C. Grismore

Articles

In the recent case of Preston v. Preston the supreme court of Michigan had occasion to consider the question as to whether or not one for whose benefit a contract is made has any enforcible rights. The suit was one 'in Chancery, the donee plaintiff was an invalid, and every consideration of justice and equity demanded that she be given relief. The court had, however, to face the fact that in recent cases it had indicated its opinion to be that the third party beneficiary has no rights. In Modern Maccabees v. Sharp, (1910) 163 Mich. 449, 456 the court …


The 'Right' To Break A Contract, Willard T. Barbour Jan 1917

The 'Right' To Break A Contract, Willard T. Barbour

Articles

It is common knowledge that the fully developed common law affords no means to compel the performance of a contract according to its terms. Does it follow from this that there is no legal obligation to perform a contract, or if obligation there be, that it is alternative: to perform or pay damages? A note in the XIV MICH. L. REV. 480 appears to give an affirmative answer to this question and at least one court (Frye v. Hubbell, 74 N. H. 358, at p. 374) has taken the same view. Probably the most forcible exposition of this position is …

Invalid Contracts For Contingent Fees, James H. Brewster Jan 1908

Invalid Contracts For Contingent Fees, James H. Brewster

Articles

It is not unusual that agreements between attorneys and clients providing for contingent fees contain a stipulation to the effect that no settlement of the controversy concerning which there is a bargain for fees shall be made by the client without the attorney's consent. In the recent case of Davy et at. v. Fidelity and Casualty Ins. Co., 85 N. E. 504, the Supreme Court of Ohio condemns such an agreement as champertous and, by the citation of many Ohio decisions, "demonstrates that this court has always maintained a consistent and unambiguous attitude in regard to contracts of the kind …

Subscriptions, Henry W. Rogers Jan 1887

Subscriptions, Henry W. Rogers

Articles

One cannot expect, within the limits of a single article, to exhaust the law relating to Subscriptions. But within the limits assigned, I propose to consider some portions of the law relating to this subject, which seem to me to be of sufficient interest and importance to merit attention in these pages. The subject of Subscriptions is seemingly a narrow one, and yet it has given rise to very considerable litigation, and out of it have come many interesting questions, upon the determination of which large pecuniary interests have often-times depended, especially in the case of Stock Subscriptions.
