A Tenant's Right To Set-Off, Michael Weir
A Tenant's Right To Set-Off, Michael Weir
Michael Weir
In this article the author will discuss the attributes of set-off at common law and in equity. The decision of British Anzani (Felixstowe) Ltd ν International Marine Management (UK Ltd), has provided an impetus to the doctrine of equitable set-off in its application to leases. This case confirms α considerable latitude to a tenant to set off liquidated and unliquidated damages against rental. The author will then discuss the rules of set-off against a landlord constituted by a mortgagee in possession. This discussion will reveal that the application of set-off in that circumstance is dependent upon the local statutory provisions …
Regulatory Takings: A Chronicle Of The Construction Of A Constitutional Concept, Garrett Power
Regulatory Takings: A Chronicle Of The Construction Of A Constitutional Concept, Garrett Power
Garrett Power
In the American constitutional system the sovereign has the power to enact “regulations which are necessary to the common good and general welfare.” But the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution proscribes that : “No person shall be . . . deprived of . . . property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” And the question of whether a sovereign regulation has “taken” private property without just compensation has puzzled the United States Supreme Court for over two hundred years in over four hundred cases. This paper chronicles …

High Society: The Building Height Limitation On Baltimore's Mt. Vernon Place, Garrett Power
Garrett Power
The "Anti Skyscraper" Law of 1904 is often described as Maryland's first zoning law and one of the first zoning laws in the United States. But there is more. Behind this dusty statute is a story of speculation, selfishness, collusion and changing social values, which takes a century and a half to unfold and which has something to say about the role of government in regulating the use of land.
Entail In Two Cities: A Comparative Study Of Long Term Leases In Birmingham, England And Baltimore, Maryland 1700-1900, Garrett Power
Entail In Two Cities: A Comparative Study Of Long Term Leases In Birmingham, England And Baltimore, Maryland 1700-1900, Garrett Power
Garrett Power
Urban planning is often thought of as a conscious collection of governmental choices made as to the shape and social structure of the city. Thoughtful and forward looking public policies are viewed as mapping out the future. Overlooked or understated in this estimation are the less purposeful influences on the urban morphology and city sociology. This paper examines one such influence, land tenure, by taking a comparative look at the residential development of Birmingham, England, and Baltimore, Maryland, between 1700 and 1900. Birmingham and Baltimore both housed their working class populations in densely-packed dwellings with shared party walls. And both …

Apartheid Baltimore Style: The Residential Segregation Ordinances Of 1910-1913, Garrett Power
Garrett Power
On May 15, 1911, Baltimore Mayor J. Barry Mahool signed into law an ordinance for “preserving the peace, preventing conflict and ill feeling between the white and colored races in Baltimore City.” This ordinance provided for the use of separate blocks by African American and whites and was the first such law in the nation directly aimed at segregating black and white homeowners. This article considers the historical significance of Baltimore’s first housing segregation law.

Pyrrhic Victory: Daniel Goldman's Defeat Of Zoning In The Maryland Court Of Appeals, Garrett Power
Pyrrhic Victory: Daniel Goldman's Defeat Of Zoning In The Maryland Court Of Appeals, Garrett Power
Garrett Power
Nowadays government regulation of the use of urban land is taken for granted. Such was not always the case. Some sixty years ago, the Maryland Court of Appeals held it unconstitutional for Zoning Commissioner J. Frank Crowther to deny a request for a permit to operate a tailor shop in the basement of a Eutaw Place home. This paper examines the case of Goldman v. Crowther. Goldman's story reads like a comic melodrama with a tragic ending. But the saga also illuminates the social condition - it sheds light and casts shadows on the practice of xenophobia, the nature of …

Putting Community Equity In Community Development: Resident Equity Participation In Urban Redevelopment, Barbara Bezdek
Putting Community Equity In Community Development: Resident Equity Participation In Urban Redevelopment, Barbara Bezdek
Barbara L Bezdek
The special concern of this paper is to recalibrate the benefits and burdens of public-private partnerships as they remake inner city neighborhoods, by braking the rate at which urban land is being reclaimed from low-wealth residents by local government practices to disperse occupants, sweeping aside their tangible and intangible capital. Public oversight requirements have not kept pace with the dispossession, yet the costs that these development decisions impose on the social fabric of communities rend the shared networks necessary to residents’ abilities to meet basic social needs. This destruction of low-wealth communities is a form of equity-stripping, produced by local …

Chapter Ii Property Agents And Motor Dealers Act 2000 (Qld): The Answer To Our Prayers Or The Devil In Disguise?, Tammy Johnson
Tammy Johnson
In the mid to late 1990s the Gold Coast real property market was the subject of intense marketeering operations. Investigation revealed that the legislation regulating the real estate industry at that time was unable to combat such unethical and unscrupulous behaviour. The Queensland Government realised that action must be taken to provide for protection of consumers in the real property market. After some hasty drafting, the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000 (Qld) became effective on 1 July 2001. The aim of the Act was simple - to provide for consumer protection. After numerous and frequent amendments, the Act …

This presentation argues that the internet offers both great promise and possible peril for anti-discrimination in housing. The potential for self-regulation is mixed but ultimately weak. The presentation concludes with a call for federal regulatory reform.

Systemic Classism, Systemic Racism: Are Social And Racial Justice Achievable In The United States?, Thomas Kleven
Systemic Classism, Systemic Racism: Are Social And Racial Justice Achievable In The United States?, Thomas Kleven
Thomas Kleven
This paper argues that the United States is systemically a highly classist and racist society, that systemic classism and racism are intimately interrelated phenomena, and that reforming this situation requires a mass movement of working class people of all ethnicities for social and racial justice for all. Section II discusses aspects of American society infected by systemic classism and racism. The focus is on the economic system, the local governmental structure, and the political process – central and interrelated features of society’s class and racial hierarchies. The thesis is that these institutions are structured and operate so as to systematically …

This Article functions as a companion to a piece, Solar Rights, recently published in the Boston University Law Review. In that piece, the author analyzed the absence of a coherent legal framework for the treatment of solar rights - the rights to access and harness the rays of the sun. The growing popularity of, and need for, solar collector technology and other solar uses calls for reform. Answering the call for reform in Solar Rights, this Article proposes a framework within which a solar rights regime might be developed. First, as a baseline, any regime must recognize the natural characteristics …

Coping Through California's Budget Crises In Light Of Proposition 13 And California's Fiscal Constitution, David Gamage
Coping Through California's Budget Crises In Light Of Proposition 13 And California's Fiscal Constitution, David Gamage
David Gamage
This chapter reflects on the ways in which California's fiscal constitution exacerbates the state's budget crises. Without institutional reform, California will likely experience repeated waves of increasingly severe budget crises throughout the coming decades. As such, this chapter presents and analyzes a number of alternatives for reforming California's fiscal constitution so as to ameliorate the dynamics currently leading to repeated harmful budget crises.

The University As Constructed Cultural Commons, Katherine J. Strandburg, Michael J. Madison, Brett M. Frischmann
Brett Frischmann
This paper examines commons as socially constructed environments built via and alongside intellectual property rights systems. We sketch a theoretical framework for examining cultural commons across a broad variety of institutional and disciplinary contexts, and we apply that framework to the university and associated practices and institutions.
