Relevance Of Industry Custom In Strict Product Liability, Kathleen M. Doyle
Relevance Of Industry Custom In Strict Product Liability, Kathleen M. Doyle
Washington Law Review
In Lenhardt v. Ford Motor Co., the Supreme Court of Washington held that evidence of industry custom is inadmissible in a strict product liability case. The Washington court held that the custom of the industry is not always a relevant factor in determining the reasonable expectations of the ordinary consumer. The court reasoned that admitting evidence of industry or manufacturers' customs and practices would improperly shift the inquiry from the reasonableness of the buyer's expectations to the reasonableness of the seller's conduct. The court recognized that this shift in focus would introduce concepts of fault that are relevant in a …
Recovery For "Loss Of Chance" In A Wrongful Death Action—Herskovits V. Group Health, 99 Wn. 2d 609, 664 P.2d 474 (1983), Linda M. Roubik
Recovery For "Loss Of Chance" In A Wrongful Death Action—Herskovits V. Group Health, 99 Wn. 2d 609, 664 P.2d 474 (1983), Linda M. Roubik
Washington Law Review
In Herskovits v. Group Health, the Washington Supreme Court held that loss of a less-than-50% chance of survival is a compensable injury under the Washington wrongful death statute. The court did not agree, however, on the proper method for determining causation in a loss of chance case. Neither of the two methods of causation analysis proposed by the court is satisfactory. Recovery for loss of a less-than-50% chance of survival is not possible under traditional causation principles, and should be allowed only if a court is willing to adopt a possibility standard of proof and adjust damages to reflect the …

The Warranty Of Merchantability And Computer Software Contracts: A Square Peg Won't Fit In A Round Hole, Edward G. Durney
The Warranty Of Merchantability And Computer Software Contracts: A Square Peg Won't Fit In A Round Hole, Edward G. Durney
Washington Law Review
Courts have consistently held that Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) governs transactions involving computer hardware. Treatment of computer software transactions has been less consistent. This Comment contends that computer software, an intangible, is not within the scope of Article 2. It further contends that the warranty of merchantability cannot meaningfully be applied by analogy in computer software contracts. Finally, this Comment concludes that existing tort and contract causes of action provide software users with sufficient protection.
A Unified Approach To State And Municipal Tort Liability In Washington, Mark Mclean Myers
A Unified Approach To State And Municipal Tort Liability In Washington, Mark Mclean Myers
Washington Law Review
This Comment examines and analyzes the two judicially created limitations on governmental tort liability in Washington. It concludes that the discretionary governmental acts immunity is a proper limitation on governmental tort liability, but that the public duty doctrine should be abandoned.
Autopsy Of A Plain English Insurance Contract: Can Plain English Survive Proximate Cause?—Graham V. Public Employees Mut. Ins. Co., 98 Wn. 2d 533, 656 P.2d 1077 (1983), Lynn B. Squires
Washington Law Review
This Note first analyzes the majority's introduction of a tort concept of proximate cause for deciding insurance cases-and for covertly making public policy. Second, the Note analyzes the dissent's failure to modify its traditional contract analysis to meet the needs of consumers who purchase standard form contracts. The Note recommends the use of an adhesion contract analysis and a common sense test of causation for deciding consumer insurance cases. The Note considers the insurance industry's dilemma as it attempts to respond to plain language legislation while still controlling its exposure to liability. The Note considers as well the public in …

A Fresh Look At Premises Liability As Affected By The Warranty Of Habitability, Michael J. Davis, Phillip E. Delatorrre
A Fresh Look At Premises Liability As Affected By The Warranty Of Habitability, Michael J. Davis, Phillip E. Delatorrre
Washington Law Review
This article will present the different positions that courts have taken during these recent years of experimentation in landlord premises liability, discuss how courts have become muddled in sorting out the various theories, and propose a system of liability that would be fair and soundly based on modem policy considerations. We shall first place the question in context by considering the traditional theories of liability. We will then discuss the statutory impact on landlord responsibility and consider the recent tort and warranty theories that set the stage for the period of experimentation. Our ultimate objective is to arrive at ,a …
Action Accrual Date For Written Warranties To Repair: Date Of Delivery Or Date Of Failure To Repair?, Carey A. Dewitt
Action Accrual Date For Written Warranties To Repair: Date Of Delivery Or Date Of Failure To Repair?, Carey A. Dewitt
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that the statute of limitations for an action for breach of a repair warranty should begin to run not when the goods are delivered (on-delivery rule), but when the manufacturer has failed to repair the goods (failure-to-repair rule). Part I considers the current division of authority relating to the action accrual date (the date at which the limitations period begins) for repair warranties. It analyzes the issue of whether the repair warranty is a species of future performance warranty under section 2-725(2) and examines non-Code law on repair promises. Part II discusses the advantages and disadvantages of …
The Tort Liability Of Investigative Reporters, John W. Wade
The Tort Liability Of Investigative Reporters, John W. Wade
Vanderbilt Law Review
One of the most significant developments in recent years, in both constitutional and tort law, began with the holding in New York Times v. Sullivan that the first amendment places substantial restrictions on the common law tort action for defamation. Although the ramifications of New York Times are still developing,that continuing reform of the law of defamation will result is to be expected. The readjustment of the balancing of conflicting interests that New York Times represents came about at the behest of the press,and the press have been the primary beneficiaries of these developments. Indeed, some commentators contend that the …
The Measure Of Recovery Under Rule 10b-5: A Restitution Alternative To Tort Damages, Robert B. Thompson
The Measure Of Recovery Under Rule 10b-5: A Restitution Alternative To Tort Damages, Robert B. Thompson
Vanderbilt Law Review
The thesis of the Article is that much of the confusion about rule 10b-5 remedies turns on the courts' failure to recognize adequately that the rule derives from two separate and independent sources at common law. Rule 10b-5 draws primarily on tort concepts that focus on harm to the plaintiff and limit recovery by principles of legal causation. In addition, the rule, like common-law fraud, traces its lineage to principles based on unjust enrichment. This second source focuses on the defendant's gain and requires the defendant to return all benefit received through the fraudulent transaction, even if that gain exceeds …

Release Of Joint Tortfeasors-Virginia Code Section 8.01-35.1 And Its Retroactive Application, Gary R. Allen
Release Of Joint Tortfeasors-Virginia Code Section 8.01-35.1 And Its Retroactive Application, Gary R. Allen
University of Richmond Law Review
This comment was prompted by the 1979 enactment of Section 8.01- 35.1 of the Code of Virginia, which changed the law in Virginia regarding the release of, and contribution among, joint tortfeasors. Contribution statutes such as section 8.01-35.1 provide an equitable remedy for the problem of unjust enrichment (or, more accurately, unequal punishment) whenever one of several joint tortfeasors pays more than his ratable share of a claim. There has been considerable debate concerning the retroactive effect of these statutes-that is, whether a newly promulgated contribution statute can be applied retroactively to affect a claim which arose before the statute …
Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton
Local Government Liability In Virginia For Negligent Inspection Of Buildings, Structures And Equipment, Matthew W. Broughton
University of Richmond Law Review
There is a growing trend in Virginia, as well as in many other states, for injured citizens to hold local governments liable for personal injuries and loss of property resulting from the negligent inspection by building officials of privately owned buildings and structures. The recent abrogation of the doctrine of sovereign immunity in the majority of jurisdictions has served to encourage such litigation, but abrogation alone has proven to be no guarantee of recovery for negligent inspection. Rather, the majority of jurisdictions have continued to enjoy immunity by asserting that building inspectors perform a discretionary governmental function for which no …
