Using The Federal Tort Claims Act To Remedy Property Damage Following Customs Service Seizures, Richard F. Neidhardt
Using The Federal Tort Claims Act To Remedy Property Damage Following Customs Service Seizures, Richard F. Neidhardt
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Note explains the general application of the FTCA to tort claims asserted against the federal government. Part II demonstrates the inadequacy of current judicial arguments regarding the adjudication of detention-related property damage claims under section 2680(c). Part III presents the. policy considerations behind the FTCA and concludes that those considerations allow courts to interpret the Act to cover detention-related property damage claims.
Developing A Victims' Suit For Injuries Caused By A Compulsorily Released Prisoner, Leonard M. Niehoff
Developing A Victims' Suit For Injuries Caused By A Compulsorily Released Prisoner, Leonard M. Niehoff
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note advocates the development of a tort remedy for victims injured by a compulsorily released prisoner. This remedy would be based on existing tort theory permitting suits against third parties whose negligence causes or facilitates a criminal act. The victim would bring suit against both the state and third parties who aided in the criminal release determination . To support his claim, the victim would allege: (1) that state officials negligently selected the offending inmate for early release; and (2) that the state negligently maintained the unconstitutional prison conditions which precipitated the release.
Part I of this Note discusses …
Class Actions For Punitive Damages, Michigan Law Review
Class Actions For Punitive Damages, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that a Rule 23 class action offers the best way to manage multiple actions for punitive damages. It begins by examining the policy underlying punitive damages and the plaintiffs interest in recovering them. It then explains why a limited fund is created when courts deny punitive damage recovery as a matter of law or when punitive claims exceed defendant's assets. The Note contends that a Rule 23(b)(l)(B) class action provides the best means to manage this limited fund and reviews the circumstances in which a district court may properly certify a class action for punitive damages. It …

Claim Requirements Of The Federal Tort Claims Act: Minimal Notice Or Substantial Documentation?, Michigan Law Review
Claim Requirements Of The Federal Tort Claims Act: Minimal Notice Or Substantial Documentation?, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note finds both the Adams and Swift positions unsatisfactory. Part I contends that Adams misconstrued the legislative history of the FTCA amendments by applying a minimal notice standard and then argues that Swift contravenes the amendments' fairness policy by permitting ambiguous, overreaching documentation requests. Part II contends that courts should interpret section 2675's "presented the claim" language as an accommodation between two competing Congressional objectives: presuit claims settlement and fair treatment of claimants. The Note proposes that until the Department of Justice modifies its current claims regulations, courts should toll the statute of limitations whenever an individual's claim includes …
The Deduction Of Unemployment Compensation From Back-Pay Awards Under Title Vii, Eric A. Martin
The Deduction Of Unemployment Compensation From Back-Pay Awards Under Title Vii, Eric A. Martin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that federal courts should not deduct unemployment insurance benefits from Title VII back-pay awards. Part I reviews the legislative history and purposes behind the remedial provisions of Title VII. Part I also presents the arguments that courts have advanced regarding the deduction of unemployment benefits from Title VII back-pay awards. Part II assesses these arguments in light of analogous common law doctrine and the legislative objectives of Title VII, and advances arguments not yet considered by the courts. Finally, Part II concludes that federal courts should resolve this division of authority by not deducting unemployment benefits from …

Protecting The Whistleblower From Retaliatory Discharge, Martin H. Malin
Protecting The Whistleblower From Retaliatory Discharge, Martin H. Malin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This approach to the problem of whistleblowing, however, is misguided; the appropriate balance is between the employee's interest in acting in accordance with his individual conscience and his duty of loyalty to his employer. This Article argues that although the law should protect individual acts of whistleblowing once they have occurred, it should not affirmatively encourage whistleblowing. Part I discusses the protection currently available to whistleblowers under the common law, collective bargaining agreements, and the antiretaliation provisions of several important statutes. Part II proposes a general standard of whistleblower protection that is designed to protect individual whistleblowers in appropriate circumstances, …
Employment-At-Will Doctrine: Providing A Public Policy Exception To Improve Worker Safety, Daniel T. Schibley
Employment-At-Will Doctrine: Providing A Public Policy Exception To Improve Worker Safety, Daniel T. Schibley
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Occupational safety would be greatly enhanced if employees had a viable option of refusing to work under unsafe conditions without risking their jobs. This Note proposes a public policy exception to the employment-at-will doctrine that would give a cause of action to an employee discharged for refusing to work under unsafe conditions. Part I examines the employment-at-will rule and its recognized exceptions. Part II analyzes the inadequacies of existing statutory remedies for a discharged employee who refused to work under unsafe conditions. Finally, Part III proposes an alternative remedy: providing a common-law exception to the employment-at-will rule that will give …

Perpetuation Of Past Discrimination, Eric Schnapper
Perpetuation Of Past Discrimination, Eric Schnapper
Articles
Part I of this Article offers several justifications for providing remedies for present harms that are caused by past acts of discrimination. Part II describes the different ways in which past discrimination can cause a present injury, and suggests for each way the appropriate legal standard for deciding when there is a present constitutional violation. Part III discusses the problems likely to arise in administering the suggested standards, and concludes that these problems are not inherently different from those involved in ordinary discrimination cases.
A Frivolous Lawsuit May Destroy The Career Of A Professional: Is There No Remedy?, Alice T. Meadows
A Frivolous Lawsuit May Destroy The Career Of A Professional: Is There No Remedy?, Alice T. Meadows
University of Richmond Law Review
The decade of the 1970's saw an increase of crisis proportions in the number of medical malpractice claims, and this crisis has lingered into the 1980's. Furthermore, lawyers, architects, engineers, accountants, and other professionals are becoming increasingly aware that malpractice litigation has not been limited to attacks on health care practitioners.
Section 14(E) Of The Williams Act And The Rule 10b-5 Comparisons, Mark J. Loewenstein
Section 14(E) Of The Williams Act And The Rule 10b-5 Comparisons, Mark J. Loewenstein
Publications
The passage of the Williams Act in 1968 added a set of provisions to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to govern tender offers. In this article, Professor Loewenstein examines the antifraud provision of the Williams Act, codified as section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the development of decisional law under it. After discussing the propriety of inferring a private cause of action from section 14(e), Professor Loewenstein argues that the judiciary's reliance on rule 10b-5 precedents to set the bounds of the 14(e) cause of action is unwarranted. He concludes: 1) that scienter should not …

Mental Hospital Drugging - Atomistic And Structural Remedies, Sheldon Gelman
Mental Hospital Drugging - Atomistic And Structural Remedies, Sheldon Gelman
Cleveland State Law Review
Despite their importance, the discussion of remedies for state hospital drugging has been largely ad hoc and uninformed. This study attempts to fill that gap. It explores four such remedies, attempting to identify the vision of the drug problem that underlies each one; to evaluate that vision and its plausibility; and to determine what the actual effects of imposing the remedy would be. Part I distinguishes between two approaches to remedy-"structural" and "atomistic"-and, as a basis for testing the two, describes a state hospital's handling of the most serious drug side effect. Part II explores a family of atomistic remedies. …
