Exhibition Of Person In Personal Injury Cases, Dennis M. Burgoon Jan 1962

Exhibition Of Person In Personal Injury Cases, Dennis M. Burgoon

Cleveland State Law Review

It is to be admitted that the proof of injury, which is directed to the senses, is a most convincing means of proof, and is the best evidence of a material fact, but it is not the fact that such exhibition is material that comes into dispute when such an exhibition is sought to be admitted, rather it is the claimed prejudicial effect of such exhibition, or the possibility that it might be indecent that raises the objection to this form of evidence.

Legal Safety Standards For Detergents, Marvin D. Silver Jan 1962

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 …

Municipal Corporations-Liability In Tort-Prospective Judicial Abrogation Of The Sovereign Immunity Concept, Donald E. Vacin Jan 1962

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 …

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 …

Agency -- 1961 Tennessee Survey, Elvin E. Overton Oct 1961

Agency -- 1961 Tennessee Survey, Elvin E. Overton

Vanderbilt Law Review

The topic "agency" includes the areas of "master and servant" as well as those of "principal and agent." There were few cases in these areas decided by the Tennessee courts during the period under survey. Generally, basic principles were applied to routine cases.In certain instances the reliance upon a prior fact determination avoided the necessity of an elaborate treatment of the facts. In one or two cases the court reached a result that may not be deemed desirable though supported by much authority. Significant points received less attention than they deserved in certain cases. In one case the basic question …
