The Report Of The Osgoode Hall Study On Compensation For Victims Of Automobile Accidents, Allen M. Linden Jan 1965

The Report Of The Osgoode Hall Study On Compensation For Victims Of Automobile Accidents, Allen M. Linden

Books

The Osgoode Hall Study was aimed at filling the factual lacuna which prevented an informed assessment of the Ontario system of compensating automobile accident victims. Those in charge of the study set out to collect and analyze statistical data which would illuminate the strength and weaknesses of the present system of loss distribution. A survey was designed which would discover the financial costs incurred by injured individuals and whether they were uncompensated, undercompensated or overcompensated for these costs. The project further aimed at describing the interrelation of the tort, private loss insurance and government reparation schemes, the role of lawyers …

Attorney's Liability In Non-Client And Foreign Law Situations, John E. Martindale

Tort Immunity Of Minor Governmental Officers, Morton L. Kaplan

Cancellation Of Salary Indebtedness: Stock Distribution As Realization Of Income To Shareholder-Employee, William Tabac Jan 1965

Cancellation Of Salary Indebtedness: Stock Distribution As Realization Of Income To Shareholder-Employee, William Tabac

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This article discusses C.I.R. v. Fender Sales, Inc., 338 F. 2d 924 (9th Cir. 1964). The author concludes that by taxing at ordinary rates the benefit realized by respondents when they invested the income in the corporation which they owned in exchange for its stock, the court eliminated the possibility--suggested by the dissent--of any undeserved capital gains treatment. The case serves to reinforce the fait accompli in the tax law between the treatment of ordinary income and capital transactions.


Negligent Parking Of Automobiles, James G. Young Jan 1965

Negligent Parking Of Automobiles, James G. Young

Cleveland State Law Review

Liability for an accident involving both a moving vehicle and a stationary one is most commonly imputed to the moving vehicle. However, numerous cases involving various fact situations have held otherwise. It is the object of this note to review the reasoning of these decisions.


Insurance Companies' Liability For The Acts Of Agents, Kenneth Montlack Jan 1965

Insurance Companies' Liability For The Acts Of Agents, Kenneth Montlack

Cleveland State Law Review

The formerly prevalent view that a party to an insurance contract is bound by his representations in all respects has been modified. Today, an increasing variety of acts or declarations by the insurance agent will shift the liability to the insurance company. The company is held to be estopped from pleading the insured's contract violations which were due to the actions of the insurer's agents. Because the general rules of agency apply to insurance agents, the company is responsible for those acts of a licensed agent performed within the scope of his authority.Thus the two problem areas in determining the …

Moral Challenge To The Legal Doctrine Of Rescue, Gerald L. Gordon Jan 1965

Moral Challenge To The Legal Doctrine Of Rescue, Gerald L. Gordon

Cleveland State Law Review

Our legal code prescribes no general duty, other than moral, to come to the aid of another human being who is in danger, even though the outcome is to cost him his life and even though no greater act is required of the putative rescuer, as in the Genovese situation, than phoning the police. This principle of law is so deeply established and solidly entrenched that there are no known reported cases directly controverting it.


Foreseeability In American And English Law, Harry G. Fuerst Jan 1965

Foreseeability In American And English Law, Harry G. Fuerst

Cleveland State Law Review

Foreseeability is "the ability to see or know in advance, hence, the reasonable anticipation that harm or injury is the likely result of acts or omissions." In order to determine culpable negligence and establish the right to recover for a wrong, there must be a sequence of events like concatenation, or a series of united events like the links of a chain, called proximate cause. The definition of proximate cause is, "that cause which in natural and continuous sequence, unbroken by any efficient intervening cause, produces the injury, and without which the result would not have occurred."


Longshoremen's Actions For Unseaworthiness And Negligence, Peter G. Sandlund Jan 1965

Longshoremen's Actions For Unseaworthiness And Negligence, Peter G. Sandlund

Cleveland State Law Review

Seaworthiness within the field of the general maritime law, and negligence as applied under the Jones Act and the Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Act afford ample remedies to the parties covered by the respective acts and by the strict liability imposed upon the owner of an unseaworthy vessel. But by allowing recovery under theories that mix the two remedies the courts are creating an additional remedy not granted by Congress when it adopted the Jones Act and the Longshore Act.


Shopping Center Parking Lot Liability, Beverly E. Sylvester Jan 1965

Shopping Center Parking Lot Liability, Beverly E. Sylvester

Cleveland State Law Review

More than sixty-eight million automobiles were registered in the United States in 1963 alone. This horde of automobiles, along with the mass exodus to the suburbs, has caused shopping centers to become integral parts of community living, and has made facilities for parking around them of principal importance. The resultant revolution in merchandising has extended the property owner's duty of care to include such parking areas.

The "Attractive Nuisance Doctrine" In Virginia, William T. Muse Jan 1965

The "Attractive Nuisance Doctrine" In Virginia, William T. Muse

University of Richmond Law Review

Children deem it their prerogative to roam wherever they please. In particular, they have a tendency to wander on other people's land and meddle with anything they find there. In doing so they frequently get hurt. The problem of the liability of occupiers of land for such injuries has taken up much of the time of American courts in the last one hundred years and has resulted in many published decisions. The trial courts in Virginia have devoted much thought and time to this problem, and since 1887 twelve cases have been heard and decided by the Supreme Court of …
