Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider Feb 1928

Tort Liability Of A Landlord, Raymond Harrison Harkrider

Michigan Law Review

At Common Law. According to the rules of the common law a landlord is under no legal duty to repair the demised premises during the term unless he expressly agrees to do so. It therefore may be stated, as a general rule, that he is liable neither to the tenant nor to the tenant's invitees for injuries caused by the premises falling into a state of disrepair during the term.

A Re-Interpretation Of Gee V. Pritchard Jun 1927

A Re-Interpretation Of Gee V. Pritchard

Michigan Law Review

It has been said that the office and jurisdiction of equity unless enlarged by express statute are limited to the protection of rights of property. This doctrine, often repeated, has been so severely criticized and so strained in its application that one is inclined to doubt that it has appreciable vigor at the present time. Yet to borrow the phrase in which a learned writer disposed of another of equity's hoary errors, "though we may observe that the rule is dying, it is unfortunately not yet a corpse; and the difficulty is that no lawyer knows when it will be …

Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Forfeitable Contract For The Purchase Of Real Estate: A Further Word On The Washington Law, Alfred J. Schweppe Nov 1926

Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Forfeitable Contract For The Purchase Of Real Estate: A Further Word On The Washington Law, Alfred J. Schweppe

Washington Law Review

Almost two years have passed since the six-three decision in Ashford v. Reese, holding that in this state an executory forfeitable contract for the sale of real estate creates no title, legal or equitable, in the vendee. Since that time a Department of the Court has once reaffirmed the doctrine, and the legislature has initiated, but not consummated, an attempt to change the rule. It is not the purpose of this brief article to reiterate what has heretofore been discussed both in the opinions of the Court and in these pages; but merely, for the sake of completeness, to refer …
