Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Contract For The Sale Of Realty As Determined By The Supreme Court Of Washington In Recent Cases, Herald A. O'Neill May 1929

Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Contract For The Sale Of Realty As Determined By The Supreme Court Of Washington In Recent Cases, Herald A. O'Neill

Washington Law Review

Since the case of Ashford v. Reese, it has been a much mooted question as to the extent of a vendee's rights under an executory contract for the sale of realty The purpose of this article is not to discuss the correctness of the rule of law as laid down in the Ashford case, but to examine the rights of a vendee, irrespective of the question as to whether or not he should have what is known in the law as an equitable title. Logically, even though the doctrine of equitable conversion be rejected, the vendee's remedy of specific performance …

Conviction Of Crime As Affecting The Credibility Of A Witness In The State Of Washington—Competency Of Persons Convicted Of Perjury To Testify In Civil And Criminal Proceedings, Elmer Goering Feb 1929

Conviction Of Crime As Affecting The Credibility Of A Witness In The State Of Washington—Competency Of Persons Convicted Of Perjury To Testify In Civil And Criminal Proceedings, Elmer Goering

Washington Law Review

At common law persons convicted of heinous offenses were not competent as witnesses. In order to be totally disqualified the witness must have been convicted of a crime making him infamous. The infamous crimes consisted of treason, felony, and all forms of the crimen falsi. Just what crimen falsi includes is not entirely clear, but generally it comprehends all crimes which involve fraud or falsehood rendering the guilty party entirely untrustworthy, and injuriously affecting the administration of justice. The disqualification of a witness for infamy has been quite generally abolished by statute. In the state of Washington several statutes have …

Possible Methods Of Relieving The Supreme Court Of Washington, Alfred J. Schweppe Feb 1929

Possible Methods Of Relieving The Supreme Court Of Washington, Alfred J. Schweppe

Washington Law Review

In the past several years there has been much discussion among the bench and bar of the state of Washington concerning ways and means for relieving the Supreme Court to some extent, at least, from the ever- increaslng volume of judicial business, in order that the court may devote more time to important causes. Investigation reveals that the volume of opinion-writing required of each judge of the Supreme Court of this state greatly exceeds that imposed upon most of the appellate court judges in the United States. The individual judges of the Supreme Court of this state are each required …


Implied Warranty Of Quality Under The Uniform Sales Act, J. Gordon Gose Feb 1929

Implied Warranty Of Quality Under The Uniform Sales Act, J. Gordon Gose

Washington Law Review

The Uniform Sales Act was adopted by the legislature of the state of Washington m the extraordinary session of 1925. This act, patterned after similar legislation previously enacted in England, is designed to bring the law of the different states into conformity To effect this purpose the draughtsmen of the act largely codified the common law, but even where such a course was followed it is inevitable that the pre-existing law of some jurisdictions must be overruled. It is the purpose of the present discussion to consider the provisions of the Sales Act relative to implied warranty of quality in …

The Permissibility Of Comment On The Defendant's Failure To Testify In His Own Behalf In Criminal Proceedings, Leslie H. Dills Oct 1928

The Permissibility Of Comment On The Defendant's Failure To Testify In His Own Behalf In Criminal Proceedings, Leslie H. Dills

Washington Law Review

When the question as to whether or not a prosecuting attorney should be permitted to comment on the failure of the accused in a criminal action to testify in his own behalf first arose in the state of Washington, the Supreme Court rested its decision denying the right to make such comment on a statute. The abrogation of this statute by the Supreme Court under its rule-making power, leaves this question of vital importance in criminal practice open and undecided in this State.

Admissibility In Federal Courts Of Evidence Wrongfully Obtained By Persons Other Than Federal Officers Or By Cooperation Between Such Persons And Federal Officers, Marion A. Marquis Oct 1928

Admissibility In Federal Courts Of Evidence Wrongfully Obtained By Persons Other Than Federal Officers Or By Cooperation Between Such Persons And Federal Officers, Marion A. Marquis

Washington Law Review

It is a firmly established rule in the federal courts, that evidence obtained by an illegal search and seizure, within the purview of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, is not admissible providing timely steps are taken for its exclusion or return. However, that rule is limited in its application to federal officers or agents, so that quite generally it may be said, that evidence obtained by private,mdividuals or municipal or state officers, acting as such, is admissible in federal courts, regardless of the manner in which it is obtained.

Death As Affecting Officers And Agencies, Paul P. Ashley Jul 1928

Death As Affecting Officers And Agencies, Paul P. Ashley

Washington Law Review

Behind the law of offer and acceptance runs the theory, though in truth it is but a fiction, that contractual agreement is predicated upon a literal meeting of the minds of the contracting parties. Sine a dead mind cannot agree, it has with logic inevitably followed that an offer is eo instanti revoked upon the death of the offeror.

Time Of Entry Of Interlocutory Decree Of Divorce As Affecting Date Of Final Decree, F. C. Hackman

Washington Law Review

The neglect of parties to divorce suits to file the interlocutory decree in their respective suit on the day of rendition or promptly, and, in order to remedy such omission, the procuring at some subsequent time of the entry of the interlocutory decree nue pro tune as of the date of rendition, the entry of final decrees on the last day of the period of six months which must elapse before a final decree may be lawfully entered, are practices of omission or commission common enough, and which so vitally concern the status of the parties interested, as to deserve …

The American Law Institute, Emmett N. Parker Jul 1928

The American Law Institute, Emmett N. Parker

Washington Law Review

At the 1914 meeting of the Association of American Law Schools held at Chicago, some papers were read and discussion had evidencing a conviction on the part of those present that the volume, complexity and uncertainty of the unwritten or common law in the United States had become such that there should be set on foot a movement looking to the establishment of some permanent organization having for its object the clarification of our unwritten or common law by way of restatement in a simplified, direct and orderly form. The World War checked the progress of this movement, though it …
