Evaluating Article 2 Of The Uniform Commercial Code: A Preliminary Empirical Expedition, James J. White
Evaluating Article 2 Of The Uniform Commercial Code: A Preliminary Empirical Expedition, James J. White
Articles
A proponent of commercial law codification, Mr. Eaton was one of the first American lawyers to perceive that mere codification of the law did not necessarily produce certainty and lack of discord in the law of commercial transactions. Indeed, in the same article Eaton reveals that of the 1,091 cases that had arisen under the Negotiable Instruments Law, only 704 cited the Act and in the other 387 "the Negotiable Instruments Law [was] ignored by the courts in the decisions, and (so far as the reports show) by the counsel in these cases...."

The scope of the general definition of "relevant evidence" in the Federal Rules of Evidence is ambiguous. It is unclear whether Congress, for instance, intended that certain issues be considered legislatively determined or that those issues rest within the discretion of the courts. There is also some uncertainty over the definition's applicability to several types of evidence--particularly undisputed facts such as those that provide background information or are judicially admitted.

Delanoy V. Public Service Commission Appeal Board, R. A. Macdonald
Dalhousie Law Journal
Rarely does an Administrative Law decision raise the issue of the proper relationship between boards and courts as starkly as the recent Federal Court of Appeal judgment in Delanoy v. Public Service Commission Appeal Board.1 Generally, judicial review tends to focus upon the limits of natural justice (i.e. procedural questions) rather than the problems of formal (non-procedural) jurisdiction and therefore permits courts to assert legalistic values under the guise of "due process". However, almost as if impelled by the favourable comments that their incursions into this field have drawn from academics, the courts have manifested in recent years an almost …
