Teachers' Tort Liability, Thomas A. Dugan
Teachers' Tort Liability, Thomas A. Dugan
Cleveland State Law Review
The recent notoriety in the Cleveland area attendant upon several reports of alleged batteries committed by teachers has served to focus the attention of both the educator and the citizen on this aspect of liability. This attention may well result in some necessary judicial and legislative clarification in this area, but it may tend to obscure other equally important facets of the teacher's tort liability. It is with this thought in mind that this article is written. The article itself is intended as much for teachers as it is for attorneys. Where possible, it attempts to transcend the attorney's usual …

Basis Of Liability For Blasting In Virginia, William T. Muse
University of Richmond Law Review
In this period of prosperity more private capital is avail- able for construction of all kinds. Also, vast sums of public funds are being appropriated for all types of construction, particularly highway construction. For example, the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways alone will involve the construction of 41,000 miles of highway, and is designed to connect and serve all major urban centers in the United ,States. It is probably the largest peacetime engineering project ever undertaken by man. An estimated three-fourths of a million parcels of land, approximately 1,500,000 acres, will be condemned for highway right-of-way over the …
Legal Safety Standards For Detergents, Marvin D. Silver
Legal Safety Standards For Detergents, Marvin D. Silver
Cleveland State Law Review
In the recent case of Brooks v. Temple Sinai, the Court of Appeals of New York affirmed an award of the Workmen's Compensation Board in favor of the claimant, holding that "the evidence sustained a finding of causal relationship between the splashing of detergent in the claimant's eye and the subsequent loss of sight in such eye, notwithstanding a prior history of eye trouble." Two judges protested vigorously on the grounds of overwhelming testimony against causal relationship and questioned the granting of the award on the bare legal sufficiency of other medical opinion. The decision of the Brooks court seems …
Intoxication And Third Parties, John Vamis
Intoxication And Third Parties, John Vamis
Cleveland State Law Review
Persons under the influence of liquor or drugs are known to be irrational, uncoordinated, erratic and prone to conduct which give rise to injury. It is for this reason that recovery is allowed, under certain conditions, from the person furnishing the intoxicating liquor or drug, by the person injured by the user. One such liable person is the seller of intoxicating liquor who, by the Dram Shop Law, is made liable to persons who suffer injury to person or property or to means of support. The first such law in Ohio was passed on May 1, 1854, and was entitled, …
Consent To Surgery, Gerald M. Smith, R. Joseph Olinger
Consent To Surgery, Gerald M. Smith, R. Joseph Olinger
Cleveland State Law Review
The legal aspects of a patient's consent to operation, or the lack of such consent, are many and varied. The general rule is that consent of the patient, or of someone authorized to act for him, is necessary in order for a physician to legally operate. This rule is not altered by the fact that an unauthorized operation is slight and ordinarily is not accompanied by serious consequences. Where no consent is present, a surgical operation upon the body is a technical battery, and in the absence of exceptional circumstances, appropriate damages may be recovered from the physician. The question …

Municipal Corporations-Liability In Tort-Prospective Judicial Abrogation Of The Sovereign Immunity Concept, Donald E. Vacin
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff's decedent was killed by a fall down the elevator shaft of a building owned and maintained by the City of Detroit. Plaintiff alleged that defendant city negligently failed to protect and enclose the shaft, in violation of its own ordinances, and that such failure was the proximate cause of her husband's death. The city moved to dismiss, claiming that it was engaged in a governmental function and therefore was immune from tort liability. On appeal from an order dismissing the complaint, held, affirmed by an evenly divided court. However, a majority of the court prospectively overruled the judicial …
