Franchisor Liability For The Torts Of Its Franchisees: The Case For Substituting Liability As A Guarantor For The Current Vicarious Liability, John L. Hanks Apr 1999

Franchisor Liability For The Torts Of Its Franchisees: The Case For Substituting Liability As A Guarantor For The Current Vicarious Liability, John L. Hanks

Articles

The author reviews the justifications for applying the law of vicarious liability in the franchising context and concludes that its application is often inefficient and arbitrary. He argues that the employee-independent contractor dichotomy used by courts to determine franchisor liability is not well-suited to franchising, where the relationship encompasses both concepts. He proposes that vicarious liability not be applied in the franchising context. Instead, the courts by case law or state legislatures by statute should impose a guarantor status on franchisors that would expose them to liability for the torts of the franchisees only if the franchisee was unavailable to …

“Like Master, Like Man”: Constructing Whiteness In The Commercial Law Of Slavery, 1800-1861, Ariela J. Gross Nov 1996

“Like Master, Like Man”: Constructing Whiteness In The Commercial Law Of Slavery, 1800-1861, Ariela J. Gross

Cardozo Law Review

In 1836, Leonard Wideman bought a slave named Charles from Jonathan Johnson, paying in part with a $100 note. Not long after, Johnson sued Wideman in the Circuit Court of Abbeville, South Carolina for failing to pay his note. In defense, Wideman argued that he should not have to pay Charles's price because Johnson had fraudulently represented Charles to be sober, honest, and humble, when, in fact, he was insubordinate, vicious, a drunkard, and a runaway. The trial turned not only on Charles's character, but also on the character of his masters: Johnson, Wideman, and others who had previously owned …

Circuit Court Erie Errors And The District Court's Dilemma: From Roto-Lith And The Mirror Image Rule To Octagon Gas And Asset Securitization, Nikiforos Mathews Jan 1996

Circuit Court Erie Errors And The District Court's Dilemma: From Roto-Lith And The Mirror Image Rule To Octagon Gas And Asset Securitization, Nikiforos Mathews

Cardozo Law Review

Part I of this Note examines the mistake made by the Tenth Circuit in Octagon Gas. It further discusses the related problem inherent in a district court's belief that it is bound by a circuit court's previous Erie decision in light of the recent Winter Panel decision. Part II demonstrates that, despite the doctrine of precedent, district courts are not invariably bound by the diversity decisions of their circuit courts under the modem Erie doctrine, and therefore, should independently determine the state issues before them. Part III returns to Winter Panel and examines how the District Court of Massachusetts …

A Rejoinder, Jonathan R. Macey Mar 1995

A Rejoinder, Jonathan R. Macey

Cardozo Law Review

In a rare moment of self-restraint, I resolved not to bother to write a comment to David Ratner's spirited but unconvincing reply to my earlier article in the Cardozo Law Review. Since Ratner's response contained no defense whatsoever of the work of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), no criticism whatsoever of my general theory of agency obsolescence, and no theory of its own to defend the SEC, it seemed to me at first that the best course of action was to allow Ratner's reply to serve as its own refutation.
