Domestic Relations—Breach Of Promise To Marry: Relic Revisited To Exclude Expectation Damages—Stanard V. Bolin, 88 Wn. 2d 614, 565 P.2d 94 (1977), D. Joseph Hurson
Washington Law Review
Plaintiff, relying on defendant's proposal of marriage, trained a replacement for her job, placed her home for sale, sold her furniture, and incurred normal expenses incidental to a future union. One month before the date of marriage, defendant informed plaintiff he would not fulfill his promise of marriage; she subsequently became ill, repurchased her home furnishings, and cancelled all wedding plans. Plaintiff brought suit for breach of promise to marry, seeking damages for (1) direct pecuniary losses; (2) pain, impairment to health, humiliation, embarrassment; and (3) loss of the expected financial security of marriage. The superior court dismissed the complaint …

Plaintiff's Standard Of Care After Hochfelder: Toward A Theory Of Causation, Robert P. Bryant
Plaintiff's Standard Of Care After Hochfelder: Toward A Theory Of Causation, Robert P. Bryant
Vanderbilt Law Review
The extended debate by the Institute illustrates the logical and even emotional difficulty of dealing with the victim of an admittedly intentional deception who has acted foolishly in his own behalf and does not seem to deserve recovery. The crux of the controversy in the common law deceit cases mirrors that in the 10b-5 cases:should the victim have to investigate, and what might trigger an obligation to investigate? As this discussion demonstrates, tort principles provide some guidance. In deceit cases, the obligations placed on the plaintiff arise from the requirement that his reliance be justified. To the extent that his …

The Implied Warranty Of Habitability In Residential Leases, Glen L. Kettering
The Implied Warranty Of Habitability In Residential Leases, Glen L. Kettering
West Virginia Law Review
The implied warranty of habitability is a property law concept of relatively recent vintage. The development of this tenant-oriented principle has necessarily involved a departure from the traditional doctrine of caveat emptor. This Note will discuss the implied warranty of habitability itself, the rationale behind it, and the remedies it has made available to the residential tenant subjected to unsafe and unhealthy living conditions. Although much of the Note is devoted to judicial treatment of the implied warranty, particular attention is given to the recent adoption of the warranty by the American Law Institute in its second Restatement of Property. …

Torts—Misapplication Of The Tort Of Interference With Business Relations—Cherberg V. Peoples National Bank, 88 Wn. 2d 595, 564 P.2d 1137 (1977), Craig Gannett
Washington Law Review
Lessor, the Joshua Green Corporation, breached the covenant of quiet enjoyment by refusing to repair the outside wall of the building in which the Cherbergs were leasing space for their restaurant and by threatening to post the building as unsafe. The Cherbergs sued the Green Corporation for breach of contract and for interference with business relations. The trial court sustained both causes of action. The jury awarded $3,100 as contract damages and $38,900 as tort damages for mental anguish. The Washington Court of Appeals upheld the damage award for breach of contract but concluded that the tort of interference with …

Tort Claims Under The Present And Proposed Bankruptcy Acts, Stephen Allen Edwards
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Congress may soon enact the first complete revision of the United States bankruptcy laws in almost four decades. Among the numerous changes proposed by the legislature is a major alteration of the provability and dischargeability of tort claims asserted against the bankrupt's estate. This article will discuss the treatment of tort claims in the present Act and the changes to be made by the proposed Act, and will evaluate alternative approaches to compensating victims of bankrupt tortfeasors.

Warsaw From The French Perspective: A Comparative Study Of Liability Limits Under The Warsaw Convention, Elizabeth G. Browning
Warsaw From The French Perspective: A Comparative Study Of Liability Limits Under The Warsaw Convention, Elizabeth G. Browning
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Warsaw Convention, now over 45 years old, was originally designed to aid the growth of a new, undeveloped, and somewhat perplexing commercial enterprise--the international air transportation industry. Unfortunately, the drafters of the Convention took a narrow, and perhaps ill-advised, view of regulation of liability. They limited the carriers' liability for damage to an amount that could easily have been foreseen to be unworkable and they defined the concept of fault in ambiguous terms. While this fledgling attempt to codify an area of private international law was meant to provide a uniformity of terms that would be workable in a …
Litigant Access Doctrine And The Burger Court, Tinsley E. Yarbrough
Litigant Access Doctrine And The Burger Court, Tinsley E. Yarbrough
Vanderbilt Law Review
The decisions of potentially most far-reaching significance, however, are the Burger Court's pronouncements concerning the nature and application of the personal injury standard in the field of standing, the status of public action lawsuits, and the propriety of federal district court intervention in state judicial proceedings. This Article critically analyzes the Court's developing position in each of these areas and suggests that in each its doctrinal stance is conceptually weak, rarely serves the functions that it ostensibly was designed to perform, and is extremely vulnerable to capricious application.
