An Outline Of The Law Of Libel In Washington, Thomas J. Brennan Feb 1955

An Outline Of The Law Of Libel In Washington, Thomas J. Brennan

Washington Law Review

For legal writers, the law of defamation has provided one of the fairest targets for criticism. It is an area of law which in many respects is extremely anomalous and confused. The Washington law in this respect is no different from that of other jurisdictions. But in reading over the cases it seemed that, rather than criticise or discuss the problems to any great extent, it might be helpful to those concerned with the subject to provide an outline and citations which would serve as a starting point and guide for further research. This is the purpose of this article.


Evidence Of Speed—Highway Radar, Sally Campbell Feb 1955

Evidence Of Speed—Highway Radar, Sally Campbell

Washington Law Review

The problem of the highway speeder is almost as old as the automobile itself. With this problem came two others—one, the detection of the speeding motorist, and two, the use of the means of detection as evidence in convicting the offender. Through the years many devices have been invented to determine the speed of an automobile. Some of these have succeeded m the courtroom and are still used; others have been determined inadmissible in evidence. Some of the means most commonly used at the present time met with difficulty at first and in some instances are still not enough in …


Avoidance Of Disclaimer By Action For Fraudulent Misrepresentation, Eugene H. Sage Feb 1955

Avoidance Of Disclaimer By Action For Fraudulent Misrepresentation, Eugene H. Sage

Washington Law Review

The recent Washington Supreme Court decision in the case of Nyquist v. Foster dealt with the troublesome problem of a chattel vendee's right to rescind upon proof of the vendor's fraudulent misrepresentation in a sales situation where the contract of sale contains a disclaimer clause. The purpose of the disclaimer clause is to prevent a suit by the purchaser upon a theory of either express or implied warranty. The common practice of inserting such a clause in a contract of sale makes any ruling upon its effective scope in limiting a vendee's possible right of action a matter of importance …

Community Property—Ownership During Probate Of The Estate Of One Spouse For Income Tax Purposes, John A. Gose

Washington Law Review

In the case of U.S. v. Merrill, 211 F.2d 297, (9th Cir. 1954), the court held that when a wife dies in the state of Washington leaving solely community property and the surviving spouse serves as executor of her estate, only one-half of the executor's fee paid to the husband from community funds is taxable to him as income. The other one-half of the fee is chargeable to his share of community property. Further, the court in dictum said that when one spouse dies leaving an estate consisting only of community property, the executor or administrator is not the owner …

Torts—Contribution Among Tortfeasors Where The United States Is A Party, Alice D. Johnson

Washington Law Review

United States v. State of Arizona, 214 F.2d 389 (9th Cir. 1954), highlights the recurring problem of contribution between the United States and another joint tortfeasor.

The United States brought a third-party complaint against the State of Arizona as a joint tortfeasor, and it is the action on this third-party complaint which is involved in …

Seamen Are "Wards Of The Admiralty" But Longshoremen Are Now More Privileged, John Ambler Aug 1954

Seamen Are "Wards Of The Admiralty" But Longshoremen Are Now More Privileged, John Ambler

Washington Law Review

The State of Washington has greatly contributed to the strange result which is the subject of inquiry here. Two important cases leading to this result reached the United States Supreme Court from this State. One case was appealed from the State Supreme Court. One was appealed through the Circuit Court of Appeals from a decision of the United States District Court in Seattle. The cases are almost thirty years apart. To appreciate the absurdity of the present state of the law some background material is needed.
