Torts -- 1957 Tennessee Survey, John W. Wade Aug 1957

Torts -- 1957 Tennessee Survey, John W. Wade

Vanderbilt Law Review

One who performs an act is ordinarily under a duty to act carefully.When the defendant has acted there is seldom a problem regarding the duty to use care. But when the defendant has failed to act the question of duty raises a substantial problem.' The rule is stated that there is no duty to act, but the exceptions are many. One arises when there is a particular relationship between the parties; another, when the defendant had commenced to act. Both exceptions are involved in Union Carbide & Carbon Corp. v. Stapleton.


Contracts -- 1957 Tennessee Survey, Paul J. Hartman Aug 1957

Contracts -- 1957 Tennessee Survey, Paul J. Hartman

Vanderbilt Law Review

Breach of contract to publish advertisement--certainty of lost anticipated profits--nominal damages: The rule of "certainty" with respect to awarding damages for a breach of contract is simply a standard requiring a reasonable degree of persuasiveness in the proof of the fact of damage and of the amount of damage.' Through the use of the standard of certainty, the court is enabled to insist that the jury must have factual data--something more than guesswork--to guide themin fixing the award. Loss of commercial profits, claimed as damages for breach of contract, has become the principal field for the application of the standard …

Privity; Property Damage; And Personal Injuries . . . A Re-Appraisal, Malcolm L. Edwards Jul 1957

Privity; Property Damage; And Personal Injuries . . . A Re-Appraisal, Malcolm L. Edwards

Washington Law Review

The responsibility of a vendor of personal property to persons other than his immediate vendee has troubled courts throughout our legal history. The primary purpose of this comment is to analyze this liability for personal injuries or property damage in an action for breach of warranty. The inquiry is strictly limited to those obligations which arise incidentally to a sale or contract to sell personal property. It does not extend to sales of realty or to those transactions which are not sales, such as service contracts and contracts of bailment. The discussion is further limited to the vendor's liability for …

Effect Of Exculpatory Clauses Under The Federal Tort Claims Act, John B. Thurman Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The effect of an exculpatory clause' in a federal contract was the subject of two recent cases brought against the government under the Federal Tort Claims Act. In United States v. Kelly the subject of the contract was the sale of "edible garbage," and the contract provided that the garbage was sold "as is" and "without recourse" against the government, and that in any case where the liability of the government was established, the recovery would be limited to the contract price. In Air Transport Associates v. United States the subject of the contract was the use by plaintiff's commercial …


Torts - Recent Legislation - Parental Liability Statutes, Joseph T. De Nicola, William J. Wise, Robert C. Casad S.Ed. Jun 1957

Torts - Recent Legislation - Parental Liability Statutes, Joseph T. De Nicola, William J. Wise, Robert C. Casad S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Fourteen states now have statutes imposing vicarious liability upon parents for tortious acts of their children. These statutes, with one exception, all have been enacted within the past six years, and they present the most significant attempt to date by legislatures to control the incidence and remedy the effects of juvenile vandalism. The parental liability laws vary with respect to the ages of the children covered, and they place different pecuniary limits on the extent of the parent's liability. Coverage may extend to personal injuries as well as to property damage. All except the Louisiana statute, however, apply only to …

Torts - Uniform Contribution Among Tortfeasors Act - Effect Of Release On Injured Person's Claim, Herbert A. Bernhard S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs were injured in a collision involving vehicles driven by the individual defendants Hershberger and Mong. Mong settled with each of the seven plaintiffs for varying amounts, receiving from them releases which not only discharged him from all liability but also reduced the damages recoverable against Hershberger by fifty percent. Plaintiffs then sued Hershberger, who joined Mong as an additional defendant. After verdicts were rendered against both defendants, the trial court denied Hershberger's motion to compel reduction of the verdicts so that in each of the seven instances his liability would be the lesser of (a) fifty percent of the …

Michigan Law Review

In the summer of 1949, appellant entered into an oral contract for an indefinite time with the appellee whereby the former was granted an exclusive wholesale distributorship of appellee's farm and garden equipment.

Evidence - Dead Man's Statute - Interpretation Of "Transaction", Howard N. Nemerovski S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff was a passenger in an automobile which collided with one driven by defendant's intestate. Both drivers were killed, and plaintiff sued defendant, administrator of intestate's estate, for personal injuries, alleging negligence. There were no other eye-witnesses to the collision, and the trial court, relying upon the Alabama dead man's statute, would not permit plaintiff to testify to any of the details or circumstances of the accident, or even to the fact that she had been involved in an accident with an automobile driven by the decedent. The jury found for defendant. On appeal, held, reversed. Plaintiff, passenger in …

Torts - Guest Act - Negligent Conduct Of The Driver, William K. Muir Jr. Jun 1957

Torts - Guest Act - Negligent Conduct Of The Driver, William K. Muir Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff was a gratuitous passenger in an automobile driven by defendant. Defendant, intending to coast to his destination, turned off the ignition, removed the key, and placed it in his pocket. The removal of the key caused the steering gear to lock, and defendant was unable to avoid a collision with a tree. Plaintiff suffered injuries and brought suit. Evidence was adduced to show that in defendant's type of automobile the steering wheel was so constructed as to lock upon removal of the key. Testimony revealed that defendant understood the general operation of the lock, but that the particular mechanism …
