Subdivided Land Sales Act, Elliott H. Dejarnette

University of Richmond Law Review

In response to a committee study on the sale of recreational property, the 1978 Virginia General Assembly passed the Subdivided Land Sales Act. This act is designed to control the typical recreational land developer whose development consists of a hundred or more lots, part of which are sold by land sales installment contracts pursuant to a common promotional plan and where the purchasers are to have the use of and access to common facilities and amenities for which they pay annual assessments. It is estimated that there are over three hundred and fifty such recreational developments already existing in Virginia. …

Effect Of Virginia Workmen's Compensation Act Upon The Right Of A Third-Party Tortfeasor To Obtain Contribution From An Employer Whose Concurrent Negligence Caused Employee's Death Or Injury, Robert I. Stevenson Jan 1978

Effect Of Virginia Workmen's Compensation Act Upon The Right Of A Third-Party Tortfeasor To Obtain Contribution From An Employer Whose Concurrent Negligence Caused Employee's Death Or Injury, Robert I. Stevenson

University of Richmond Law Review

The Supreme Court of Virginia has never been asked to determine a third party's contribution rights where his negligence has combined with that of an employer to cause personal injury to an employee covered by the Virginia Workmen's Compensation Act [hereinafter referred to as the Act]. Although the question is a novel one in Virginia, courts in other jurisdictions have coped with the problem and have arrived at diverse solutions. At the outset, a brief review of the Act and of the Virginia contribution statute seems appropriate.


Choice Of Law: The Abandonment Of Lex Loci Delicti--Should Virginia Follow The Trend?, Thomas J. Cavuto Jan 1978

Choice Of Law: The Abandonment Of Lex Loci Delicti--Should Virginia Follow The Trend?, Thomas J. Cavuto

University of Richmond Law Review

One of the great virtues of the common law is its dynamic nature that makes it adaptable to the requirements of society at the time of its application in court. There is not a rule of the common law in force today that has not evolved from some earlier rule of common law, gradually in some instances, more suddenly in others, leaving the common law of today when compared with the common law of centuries ago as different as day is from night. The nature of the common law requires that each time a rule of law is applied it …


A Technical Look At The Eighty Per Cent Rule As Applied To Employee Selection Procedures, Jacob Van Bowen Jr., C. Allen Riggins Jan 1978

A Technical Look At The Eighty Per Cent Rule As Applied To Employee Selection Procedures, Jacob Van Bowen Jr., C. Allen Riggins

University of Richmond Law Review

In litigation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, statistical data has been referred to as "the only game in town." This characterization only slightly overstates the importance of statistical data to prove or rebut a case of employment discrimination. In the first decade of Title VII litigation, statistical analysis in the courts was relatively uncomplicated, sometimes involving a mere recital of percentage differences or lack thereof between minority and majority classes. In recent years, however, courts and Title VII litigants have begun to take a more sophisticated view of the use of statistics in Title VII …

The International Reach Of United States Antitrust Law And The Significance Of Timberlane Lumber Co. V. Bank Of America, Richard D. Allred

University of Richmond Law Review

The United States Congress clearly has the power to regulate commerce within its territorial boundaries and with foreign nations, pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. However, implementation of the framers' policy decision to protect American markets and provide an open economic atmosphere has created a myriad of problems and questions with the overwhelming rise of multinational corporations internationally and domestically. In early attempts to deal with anti-competitive forces, Congress in 1890 enacted the Sherman Anti-trust Act. In addition to its efforts in 1890, Congress has periodically responded to international and domestic antitrust needs. The Clayton Act of …

Economic Competition And The Supreme Court: Decisions In The 1977 Term, Jeff Miles, John Russell

University of Richmond Law Review

Through the years, the Supreme Court has emphasized numerous times that "[t]he heart of our national economic policy long has been faith in the value of competition." Indeed, this principle was reiterated last Term. Crucial to economic competition are the anti-trust laws, especially the Sherman Act.
