Michigan Law Review
When the corner grocer sells a can of beans and a peck of fresh spinach, does he make himself responsible for the contents of the can, or acquire liability because of a green worm buried deep in the leaves?
Sales - Status Of Title-Retaining Instruments As Against Third Persons
Sales - Status Of Title-Retaining Instruments As Against Third Persons
Michigan Law Review
The exploitation of the legal concept of divided property interests in chattels by ingenious draftsman-lawyers has resulted in the variety of title-retaining instruments commonly used today in the creation of vendor-vendee relationships. Among the more familiar forms may be mentioned the conditional sale, bailment lease, chattel mortgage, and trust receipt. The chief motive of the seller in resorting to these devices seems to lie in the belief that the buyer is a poor credit risk, and the particular instrument which a seller will employ in a given situation will depend largely upon the relative legal advantages which he seeks to …

Municipal Corporations-Standards Required In Licensing Ordinances
Michigan Law Review
Defendant appealed from conviction for operating a used auto business without obtaining a license for such business under a city ordinance requiring same to be granted by the city commission if in its opinion applicant was a proper and suitable person, the place to be used was proper, having in mind the nature and character of the business and possibility of commission of crime, and the sanitary facilities thereon were proper.

Utilization Of State Commissioners In The Administration Of The Federal Motor Carrier Act, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The problem of securing effective governmental regulation of economic interests that overlap state boundary lines, while at the same time curbing the growth of a centralized bureaucracy and preventing the disintegration of local government, becomes daily more disturbing. For this reason the passage of the Motor Carrier Act in the closing days of the 74th Congress and its approval by the President on August 9, 1935, was an event of singular importance for students of American governmental administration. Important as the legislation is in its substantive aspects, it is equally noteworthy because of its administrative provisions. The striking feature of …

Bills And Notes - Rule Of Decision In Federal Courts - Application Of Swift V. Tyson To The Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, the transferee after maturity of certain promissory notes made by defendant in Florida, sued in his own name on the notes in the Federal District Court for Pennsylvania. Under the Pennsylvania practice, an assignee after maturity could not sue in his own name unless the notes were negotiable. The District Court concluded that the notes, which contained a provision for interest on overdue interest payments, were non-negotiable and sustained a demurrer. This was affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on the ground that although the Florida Negotiable Instruments Law was the law of the …

Gessaman, who was a dealer in new and used automobiles, was indebted to the bank and other creditors.

Sales - Implied Warranty Of Fitness - Restaurateur
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, proprietor of a hotel and dining room, served unwholesome food to the plaintiff who became ill as a result of its impurity. The plaintiff sued for the damages resulting from his illness, on the theory that there was an implied warranty that the food was fit for human consumption. Held, the serving of food for immediate consumption on the premises was not a "sale" within the Uniform Sales Act, and therefore there was no warranty attached under the terms of the Act, and there was no implied warranty of fitness of food so served at common law. Lynch …

Sales - Section 14, Uniform Conditional Sales Act - Removal To Other State Without Refiling

Legal Problems In National Merchandising, Richard Ford
Michigan Law Review
An interstate sales organization encounters an infinite number of problems of legal tactics, some of which recur with great frequency, and are more or less common to every industry. For discussion in this paper the writer has selected a few such problems, chiefly from the electric refrigeration business; these are presented in the belief that they are typical of many lines of national merchandising.

State Taxation Of Interstate Motor Carriers, Paul G. Kauper
State Taxation Of Interstate Motor Carriers, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
Motor transportation for hire, as indicated earlier in the article, has become a business of large proportions and, like every other business, should be subject to the ordinary business taxes. More particularly, since it is a form of public transportation, it should be subject to the same kinds of taxes that are exacted from other businesses of the public utilities type.
Constitutional Law - Federal Control Over Crime - Scope Of Power To Regulate Crime Under The Commerce Clause
Michigan Law Review
The increase of criminal activities interstate in scope, and the growing dissatisfaction with state enforcement of local laws, have focused attention of late upon the power of Congress to regulate crime under the commerce clause of the Constitution. Outstanding among proposals for congressional legislation are the following: making interstate felonies federal offenses; punishing criminals who flee across state lines after committing a crime; and restricting the sale and transportation of firearms. Most, if not all, of this suggested legislation must rest on the commerce clause for its validity. We purpose here to discuss the nature and scope of this power, …

Constitutional Law - Interstate Commerce - Motor Carrier Operating Within - Single State As A Link In Interstate Transportation, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff was engaged in business as a common carrier of goods by motor vehicle. He transported goods between the docks of Los Angeles harbor and points in and around Los Angeles, but all the goods which he carried were originally shipped in from or were consigned to destinations outside the State. His operations, however, were independent of the operations of connecting carriers. The California Railroad Commission ordered the plaintiff to cease operations until he secured a certificate of public convenience and necessity. Held, on review, that the plaintiff was engaged in interstate commerce, and that the Commission's order …
State Taxation Of Interstate Motor Carriers, Paul G. Kauper
State Taxation Of Interstate Motor Carriers, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
Though the Supreme Court has never had occasion to express its views as to the gasoline tax in its relation to interstate motor carriers (see first instalment of this article), it has been confronted with a series of cases involving automobile registration taxes. Every State today imposes such taxes. A brief discussion of the theory and nature of such taxes will aid in understanding their legal consequences.
Constitutional Law-Strike As Interference With Interstate Commerce
Constitutional Law-Strike As Interference With Interstate Commerce
Michigan Law Review
Whether the federal courts have jurisdiction to apply the mailed fist of the injunction to the settlement of strike disputes sometimes depends on whether the strike is deemed an interference with interstate commerce. Thus, the Supreme Court held in the recent case of Levering & Garrigues v. Morrin that relief must be denied a group of New York structural steel fabricators who sought to enjoin the boycott activities of the iron workers union, because " . . . the sole aim of the conspiracy was to halt or suppress local building operations as a means of compelling the employment of …

Constitutional Law - Interstate Commerce - State Regulation Of Motor Carriers - Highway Conservation, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
In conformity with the Texas statute regulating contract carriers, the plaintiffs applied for permits to operate as contract carriers in interstate commerce. The Texas Railroad Commission denied the application on the grounds that the proposed use of the highways would unreasonably interfere with their use by the general public and would constitute an undue burden on said highways. Held, by a three-judge court, that the Commission was acting within its authority in refusing the application on these grounds, that such refusal was valid as to interstate motor carriers, and that evidence supported the Commission's findings, consequently the bill to …

Constitutional Law -Interstate Commerce -Navigable Waters -Validity Of Federal Water Power Act
Constitutional Law -Interstate Commerce -Navigable Waters -Validity Of Federal Water Power Act
Michigan Law Review
The Federal Power Commission found that the plaintiff's proposed hydroelectric development on the non-navigable New river in Virginia would affect interstate commerce on the navigable Kanawha river to which the New river was tributary. The Commission thereupon tendered the plaintiff a standard or major form license for the project. Such a license, had it been accepted by the plaintiff, would have subjected it to all the provisions of the Federal Water Power Act of 1920, including those concerning the regulation of rates, issuance of securities, expropriation of excess profits, amortization reserves, and recapture at the end of fifty years on …
