The Liability Of Third Parties Under Title Vii, Andrew O. Schiff

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note considers the extent to which Title VII covers discrimination by third parties other than employment agencies and labor organizations. Part I analyzes the rationale for covering third parties, discussing Title VIl's language and the policies that Congress intended it to serve. Part II proposes a framework for analyzing the liability of third parties. Part III applies this framework to three instances where courts have disagreed about the liability of a particular third party: insurance companies' administration of employee benefits, state licensing agencies' licensing of individuals for various occupations, and hospitals' granting of staff privileges to doctors.

Warsaw Convention Liability Limitations: Constitutional Issues, Thomas J. Dolan

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The equal protection claim closely tracks the substantive due pro- cess claim. Both claims will succeed only if the liability limitations prove not to be means rationally related to a legitimate purpose. A right-to-travel challenge to the liability limitations should also fail. The liability limitations simply do not restrict travel. Nor do the liability limitations impose a prohibitive penalty on international air trav- elers. There is no constitutional right to the most desirable liability terms nor to the least expensive transportation. There remains the question of whether the liability limitations, converted to dollars at the last official price of gold, …

Cardozo Revisited: Liability To Third Parties; A Real Property Perspective, Robert Kratovil

Seattle University Law Review

One of the most outstanding jurists of our time, Justice Benjamin Cardozo, articulated a principle spanning the "seamless web" of the law which, unfortunately, has been obscured by the attempts of courts, casebook writers, and law professors to pigeonhole the principle into familiar categories. Justice Cardozo established the principle that a person who undertakes a task is liable for injury to remote third parties, regardless of lack of privity, which arises from the person's negligent performance of the task. Cardozo also enunciated an exception to this rule which developed into a widely accepted opposing rule. This Article first traces the …

The Joint Enterprise: Collaboration Between The Public And Private Sectors, Howard Anawalt, Karen Robbins

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article first outlines the structures of the joint and tripartite enterprises. It then addresses two legal concerns facing an operational enterprise, the potential tort liability of enterprise participants and antitrust restrictions. Tort liability is a threshold concern of any joint venture or partnership, and antitrust law is a basic constraint on the operations of any business. The article proceeds to show that the problems they pose for a joint enterprise can be minimized or avoided. In the third part of the article the authors demonstrate the special utility of the joint enterprise.
