Conditions And Limitations In Restraint Of Marriage, Olin Browder Jr.
Conditions And Limitations In Restraint Of Marriage, Olin Browder Jr.
Michigan Law Review
From ancient times it has been a practice of testators to provide for the termination of a devised estate upon the marriage of the devisee, or to make their gifts conditional upon a beneficiary's marrying in a prescribed manner. In this way, a parent may hope to extend beyond his death his influence over recalcitrant or irresponsible offspring. But restraints on marriage may have other purposes. More often than not, a testator, by limiting an estate until marriage or by providing for forfeiture upon marriage, may merely seek to assure the maintenance of a female beneficiary until a husband assumes …
Any More Light On Haddock V. Haddock? The Problem Of Domicil In Divorce, Harold Wright Holt
Any More Light On Haddock V. Haddock? The Problem Of Domicil In Divorce, Harold Wright Holt
Michigan Law Review
AT first glance it seems a work of foolhardiness or of supererogation to embark upon a rediscussion of any problems arising from Haddock v. Haddock. True, the decision of the majority of the Supreme Court in that case has not won wholehearted support from the bench or legal profession. True it is, also, that collusive divorces still flourish. These considerations alone might, perhaps, lead the reader to concede that it would not be unfruitful to speculate upon an eventual modification of some of the principles which the Court in that case approved. If, however, further justification is demanded of …

Held, an action for injury to the wife's right of consortium was available at common law. Swanson v. Ball, (S. D. 1940) 290 N. W. 482.
Injunctions - Power To Restrain Foreign Divorce Proceedings Declaratory Judgment As Adequate Legal Remedy, Michigan Law Review
Injunctions - Power To Restrain Foreign Divorce Proceedings Declaratory Judgment As Adequate Legal Remedy, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff petitioned a New York court to restrain her husband from prosecuting an action for divorce in a Florida court, alleging that the parties were married in New York, had lived there as husband and wife for twelve years, were still residents of New York, and that the defendant's business was located in the state. The complaint also alleged that the defendant had abandoned the plaintiff without cause; that plaintiff could not bear the expense of defending the Florida action and, in the event of judgment, would lose her status as wife and her concomitant property rights. Held, this …

Adoption - Effect On Adoption Proceeding Of Prior Consent Of Parent, Felicia I. Hmiel
Adoption - Effect On Adoption Proceeding Of Prior Consent Of Parent, Felicia I. Hmiel
Michigan Law Review
In 1923 the mother of an illegitimate child surrendered the child to the Children's Home Society and signed an agreement consenting to adoption by any parents chosen by the institution. In 1926 in an adoption proceeding, the child was adopted by the plaintiff's intestate with the society's consent, but with no consent of the mother other than that given in 1923. Upon the death of the intestate in 1936 the plaintiffs, the natural heirs at law, brought suit to set aside the adoption proceedings as being void for lack of parent's consent. Held, that the general consent given by …
Appeal And Error - Bad Faith Of Counsel As A Basis For Granting A New Trial Where Fact That Defendant Was Insured Was Brought To Attention Of Jury, Raymond H. Rapaport
Appeal And Error - Bad Faith Of Counsel As A Basis For Granting A New Trial Where Fact That Defendant Was Insured Was Brought To Attention Of Jury, Raymond H. Rapaport
Michigan Law Review
It is generally agreed that the jury in a personal injury action should not be informed that the defendant is covered by indemnity insurance. The reasons for the rule are that the matter of insurance is irrelevant, and that the exposition of its existence is prejudicial. The jury is likely to grant more and larger verdicts for the plaintiff when it is known that an insurance company, rather than the individual defendant being tried, will have to pay the judgment. However, the fact that the defendant is insured reaches the jury in a multitude of ways. While direct evidence of …
