The Judicial Council Movement, Charles H. Paul Oct 1925

The Judicial Council Movement, Charles H. Paul

Washington Law Review

Out of the chaos of ill conceived reform legislation, piecemeal attempts at judicial improvement, and general failure to achieve concrete results in remedying the defects in our legal procedure, there has evolved a nation wide movement for the formation of Judicial Councils to aid in solving our procedural problems. Knowledge of this movement is important to Washington lawyers because the Washington State Bar Association at its convention in August recommended the creation of a Judicial Council for Washington, and a special committee of the bar will be appointed to secure the passage of a Judicial Council act at the next …


The Right Of A Married Woman To Bring An Action For Damages For Personal Injuries Where The Husband Has Refused To Join, Edward Starin Oct 1925

The Right Of A Married Woman To Bring An Action For Damages For Personal Injuries Where The Husband Has Refused To Join, Edward Starin

Washington Law Review

One of the interesting developments in the law of community property has been the rule which declares that a married woman while living with her husband has no right to prosecute an action for personal injuries caused by the negligence of a third person without procuring her husband to join as a party plaintiff in the action. While, under the statute, the common law disabilities of a married woman are completely removed and while under the same statute the wife has the same right to appeal to the courts for redress for any unjust usurpation of her natural or property …

May A Man Provide In His Will That His Wife Shall Not Take Under It Unless She Shall Survive Him For A Period Of Forty-Eight Hours?, Stephen Darden Brown Oct 1925

May A Man Provide In His Will That His Wife Shall Not Take Under It Unless She Shall Survive Him For A Period Of Forty-Eight Hours?, Stephen Darden Brown

Washington Law Review

The advantages are apparent that might be gained by a man including in his will the provision that his wife should not take under it unless she should survive him for a period of, say, forty-eight hours. As an example, there is the famous French case of Fair v. Vanderbilt, in which both spouses were killed, the wife surviving the husband fifty-nine seconds, and of which a learned author once remarked, "It was the first time in history that a man and his wife were ever killed while riding together." No provision had been made in contemplation of either co-accidental …

The Assignment Of Merchants' Book Accounts As Security, Robert B. Porterfield

Washington Law Review

Repudiating the rule commonly attributed to the famous case of Dearie v. Hall, a rule which for at least 70 years had been understood to be the rule of the Federal courts, the United States Supreme court decided in 1924 that as between successive assignees of the same chose in action, mere priority of notice did not give priority of right.


The Administration Of The Property Of A Deceased Partner, Burton J. Wheelon Jun 1925

The Administration Of The Property Of A Deceased Partner, Burton J. Wheelon

Washington Law Review

The descent of property to heirs or devisees is a right conferred by society and the statutes governing administration and distribution must, as a general rule, be strictly complied with. The case of the administration of a deceased member of a partnership, however, deals with property which does not belong to the deceased alone, but in which the surviving partners have a common and often equal or superior interest. Furthermore, the obligations incurred by the firm, through its members, bind the members jointly, it being remembered that a partnership is not an entity in the eyes of the law, but …

Dumpor's Case: Its Status, Robert S. Macfarlane Jun 1925

Dumpor's Case: Its Status, Robert S. Macfarlane

Washington Law Review

Dumpor's Case holds, according to the syllabus in Sir Edward Coke's Reports (4 Coke 119b) that "a condition in a lease that the lessee or his assigns shall not alien without the special license of the lessor, is determined by an alienation by licence, and no subsequent alienation is a breach of condition, nor does it give a right of entry to the lessor." The same case more properly titled "Dumpor v Symms" (Coke) or "Dumper v Syms" is reported by Sir George Croke (Croke's Eliz. 815) The head note there reads: "On a proviso that a lessee and his …

The Washington Statute On Nuncupative Wills, Edward Starin Jun 1925

The Washington Statute On Nuncupative Wills, Edward Starin

Washington Law Review

In the old days of our common law, when the art of writing was limited to but a comparative few, the idea of a nuncupative or oral will gained a fairly firm footing. But with the spread of the ability to write, such wills came to be looked upon with disfavor owing to the opportunities presented for fraud and perjury Hence as early as the reign of Henry VIII. important restrictions were imposed on the right and power to make a nuncupative will. Contemporary legal writers expressed the idea that such a will could be made only when the testator …
