David G. Russell -- Private Nuisance--Urban Redevelopment

Outside the realm of eminent domain and zoning, the law of private nuisance provides judicial response to problems of conflicting land uses. As the private landowner's legal weapon for eliminating a use incompatible in the neighborhood, private nuisance law affords an effective remedy because the unreasonable, nonconforming use can be enjoined or its perpetrator subjected to liability for damages. Nevertheless, indiscriminate application of existing doctrine might jeopardize fair and efficient resolution of problems of land use control. Considered in the light of equity and economics, a recent New York decision reveals the need …

Trends In The Law Of Damages, John W. Reed

Articles

The law of damages deals with the process of translating harm into dollars. It is not, however, a coherent body of knowledge. Rather, it consists of an amalgam of many concepts and rules having to do with fundamental policy questions about loss-shifting, risk-spreading, and allocation of functions between judge and jury. Because damages is a "non-subject," little attention is paid to it in law school curricula and there is little writing about it.

Such a division was thought to be a necessary alternative to the often expensive and time consuming tax litigation procedure in the Tax Court, the Court of Claims, and the district court. Congress adopted the proposal and it was incorporated into the Tax Reform Act of 1969. This Note will discuss the proceedings of bringing suit in the Small Tax Case Division and will propose ways …
