Res Judicata As Between Joint Tort-Feasors, George D. Lantz Jun 1927

Res Judicata As Between Joint Tort-Feasors, George D. Lantz

Washington Law Review

In Snyder v. Marken, a negligence action between automobile owners growing out of a collision which resulted in injuries to a third person as well as to the plaintiffs, a judgment in the action by the third person was held unavailable as a defense, upon the ground that parties to a judgment are not bound by it in subsequent controversies between each other unless they were adversaries in the other action wherein the judgment was entered, that is, unless there were issues as between the co-defendants in that action.

The Uniform Sales Act In The State Of Washington, Leslie J. Ayer Feb 1927

The Uniform Sales Act In The State Of Washington, Leslie J. Ayer

Washington Law Review

The Uniform Sales Act was enacted by the State of Washington at the extraordinary session of its legislature convened November 9, 1925, and adjourned January 7, 1926. Under constitutional provision 2 this law went into effect ninety days after the adjournment of the session at which it was enacted. The advantages of uniformity of legislation in matters pertaining to commercial subjects seems so obvious as to require but slight comment. In laws relating to commercial subjects, conditions and problems are rarely of a local nature, and in view of the great amount of trading which exists between the several states, …


Lien Of Judgments Of United States Courts In Washington, F. C. Hackman Feb 1927

Lien Of Judgments Of United States Courts In Washington, F. C. Hackman

Washington Law Review

At common law pecuniary judgments and decrees do not become a lien, in the modern sense of the term, on property of the debtor, so that that effect is a statutory creation. Therefore, whether a judgment is a lien, how made so, to what interest or estate the lien attaches, when the lien commences, how long it endures, and all other particulars must be ascertained from the statutes of the proper jurisdiction. The fixation of the force and effect of judgments and decrees of courts is an attribute of sovereignty. The United States and the several states being sovereignties, each …


The Inns Of Court, Frank E. Holman Feb 1927

The Inns Of Court, Frank E. Holman

Washington Law Review

The tendency of modern lawyers is to permit the profession to become a mere business and to give little or no attention to the tradition and romance of the law. During more than five centuries the Inns of Court have occupied an important place in the history and development of our jurisprudence. The constant growth and continuity which characterizes the great body of English law is not found in the native or national law of continental countries like France and Germany. Toward this characteristic entirety of English law the Inns of Court have contributed largely, for through the centuries of …


Priorities Puzzle Under Ship Moorage Act, Orlo B. Kellogg Feb 1927

Priorities Puzzle Under Ship Moorage Act, Orlo B. Kellogg

Washington Law Review

The Ship Mortgage Act provides that a preferred ship mortgage, that is one which complies with the requirements of the act, shall have priority over all except "preferred maritime liens." It then proceeds to define preferred maritime liens as those liens arising before the recording and indorsement of the preferred mortgage in question, and also those liens arising from damages resulting from torts, those arising for wages of a stevedore when employed directly by the owner or operator, master, ship's husband or agent of the vessel, and those arising for the wages of the crew, for general average and for …


The Trust Receipt—Its Possible Legal Status In Washington, Harry O. Arend Feb 1927

The Trust Receipt—Its Possible Legal Status In Washington, Harry O. Arend

Washington Law Review

Within a period of comparatively recent date there has crept into commercial usage an instrument known as the trust receipt. Because of the extensive use now being made of the trust receipt in Washington, it is well to become acquainted with some of its legal aspects. In British law the rights of the lending bank under the trust receipt have been steadfastly upheld on the ground that the trust receipt is a necessary instrument of commerce. This view has been quite generally followed in the American courts, with the difference, however, that the courts deem it a part of their …


Inheritance By A Murderer From His Victim, H. C. Force Feb 1927

Inheritance By A Murderer From His Victim, H. C. Force

Washington Law Review

The question whether a murderer can inherit from his victim, except in the case of life insurance, is usually answered in the affirmative. The rule is well settled that if the beneficiary under a life insurance policy murders the insured, neither he nor his heirs or representatives can collect the policy. But in cases where a devisee or heir has murdered his testator or ancester, the courts are divided, the majority holding that however undesirable it may be for a murderer to profit by his crime, nevertheless the statutes of wills or of descent are too clear, that the courts …

Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Forfeitable Contract For The Purchase Of Real Estate: A Further Word On The Washington Law, Alfred J. Schweppe Nov 1926

Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Forfeitable Contract For The Purchase Of Real Estate: A Further Word On The Washington Law, Alfred J. Schweppe

Washington Law Review

Almost two years have passed since the six-three decision in Ashford v. Reese, holding that in this state an executory forfeitable contract for the sale of real estate creates no title, legal or equitable, in the vendee. Since that time a Department of the Court has once reaffirmed the doctrine, and the legislature has initiated, but not consummated, an attempt to change the rule. It is not the purpose of this brief article to reiterate what has heretofore been discussed both in the opinions of the Court and in these pages; but merely, for the sake of completeness, to refer …


Concerning Affidavits For Publication Of Summons Under The Washington Statute, F. C. Hackman Nov 1926

Concerning Affidavits For Publication Of Summons Under The Washington Statute, F. C. Hackman

Washington Law Review

Service of process by publication is not a common-law mode of of procedure, but a statutory creation. The rule, which is almost universal, that the statutes governing this matter must be strictly construed, and literally observed to give the court jurisdiction, is adhered to in this state. As a condition precedent to the exercise of the right to serve process by publication the statute requires the execution of an affidavit by the plaintiff, his agent or attorney, containing certain allegations. Without this affidavit a valid service by publication cannot be had.


Warehouse Receipts As Collateral, Crawford M. Bishop Nov 1926

Warehouse Receipts As Collateral, Crawford M. Bishop

Washington Law Review

A warehouse receipt is a contract, delivery of which carries constructive possession and often title to the goods represented thereby. The common law receipt was not negotiable but rather assignable as any other contract. The delivery of the receipt represented the delivery of the goods, and operated to vest in the assignee the same title as would be vested by an actual transfer of the goods themselves coupled with a similar agreement. "At common law a valid assignment could be made without indorsement by a mere delivery of the receipt, with intent to pass title to the goods. And, statutes …


No-Par Stock And Its Effect On Washington Law, Jeffrey Heiman Nov 1926

No-Par Stock And Its Effect On Washington Law, Jeffrey Heiman

Washington Law Review

In 1912 the New York Legislature passed the first statute authorizing the organization of corporations in New York with stock of no-par value. Such stock is defined by Cook as "stock which does not state how much money it represents." Immediately upon the passage of the law in New York a furor arose in the law reviews of the country, either in criticism of, or in defense of, the innovation in the field of corporation finance. That this subject is becoming a popular field of corporate legislation is beyond denial for at the present time thirty-nine states, including Washington allow …
