A New Tort For Texas: Breach Of The Duty Of Good Faith And Fair Dealing., Evelyn T. Ailts Jan 1987

A New Tort For Texas: Breach Of The Duty Of Good Faith And Fair Dealing., Evelyn T. Ailts

St. Mary's Law Journal

The concept of good faith and fair dealing as a general derivative contractual obligation remains unrecognized in Texas. However, in English v. Fischer the Texas Supreme Court recognized a duty of good faith and fair dealing exists in some contracts. Subsequent courts, including the Texas Supreme Court, have refused to apply a purely contractual obligation of good faith and fair dealing in every case. Instead, courts have recognized a good faith duty as arising out of “special” relationships of the contracting parties rather than being inherent in the contract itself. The courts focus on “special relationships” as a determinative of …

Book Review, John B. Marshall Jan 1987

Book Review, John B. Marshall

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Neither author devotes major attention to the vast array of practical problems that beset the developing world and impair all efforts for progress. This was not their purpose. Neither book attempts to catalog the problems or discuss proposed solutions, other than economic regionalism. Taking a broader view than these books and their treatment of economic regionalism, one finds that the problems of material circumstances and human condition appear to be more extensive and more powerful than regionalism can solve. The variety and seriousness of the problems faced by the developing countries explain the lack of success of regionalism and discourage …

The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr Jan 1987

The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr

Faculty Works

The Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona have existed as a stable or steady state society for a thousand years or more, and, even though they have felt the impact of white growth society in this century, they have maintained a greater cultural integrity than any other native people in the United States. This Article examines traditional Hopi values and institutions, especially their law. Hopi thinking and social organization were shaped by a profound reverence for their environment and an equally profound awareness of the constraints it imposed. With its growing sense of a need for balance with the environment, modern …


The Political Economy Of Co-Financing America's Urban Renaissance, Robin P. Malloy Jan 1987

The Political Economy Of Co-Financing America's Urban Renaissance, Robin P. Malloy

Vanderbilt Law Review

America's urban centers are experiencing a renaissance of sorts that reflects the vitality of a renewed interest in the city.Dynamic growth and revitalization of the central city have emerged since the 1970s as key focal points for investment and development, replacing years of investing primarily in suburbanization. The emerging activity in America's urban down towns has been more than an isolated or segmented investment in office buildings. With strong political support and the emergence of an affluent group of new urbanites, some central cities are said to be transforming into entirely new urban environments where people not only work, but …

Inclusionary Zoning And Linkage: Land Use Planning Techniques In An Age Of Scarce Public Resources, Paul S. Quinn Jr. Jan 1987

Inclusionary Zoning And Linkage: Land Use Planning Techniques In An Age Of Scarce Public Resources, Paul S. Quinn Jr.

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

This paper discusses the historical development of inclusionary zoning and linkage and the reasons why both techniques are important issues for land use planning. Next, the paper examines current linkage programs in Boston and Miami, which have served as model programs throughout the nation. The paper also addresses the constitutional challenges to linkage and the merits of each argument. Finally, guidelines for a successful linkage program are explained with an analysis of ways to survive constitutional challenges. The paper concludes the linkage programs are necessary if current economic trends continue and affordable housing becomes even more scarce in the future.

Introduction, Julian C. Juergensmeyer Jan 1987

Introduction, Julian C. Juergensmeyer

University of Florida Journal of Law & Public Policy

Over the past decade, the State of Florida—its environment sensitive, its population exploding, and its economy expanding—has pioneered innovative land planning and development regulation law. Our Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, State Comprehensive Plan Act, Environmental Land and Water Management Act, and Regional Planning Council Act are considered models in many American states and even in foreign countries. The Growth Management Act of 1985 is unique in providing for a statewide planning framework that strengthens our major land use regulation and environmental protections laws and requires consistency between all state, regional, and local planning activities.
