Carriers-Counterclaim-Shipper's Counterclaim In Carrier's Action For Freight, As Illegal Discrimination

Michigan Law Review

To the railroad's action to recover unpaid freight, the shipper set up as a counterclaim his loss (an amount greater than the freight) from damage to that shipment due to the plaintiff's negligence. The United States district court for the southern district of California held for the defendant, that this might be done. Upon appeal, the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit certified the question: Where a carrier brings an action at law to recover freight charges-in a district where state law provides that if a defendant fails to set up a counterclaim arising out of the transaction …

Validity Of Conditional-Sale Contracts As Affected By Express Or Implied Permission To Sell In The Ordinary Course Of Business, Phyllis Cavender Apr 1930

Validity Of Conditional-Sale Contracts As Affected By Express Or Implied Permission To Sell In The Ordinary Course Of Business, Phyllis Cavender

Washington Law Review

Conditional sales have always been viewed with more or less disfavor by the courts, but now, in every state, with the exception of Louisiana, such a reservation of title by vendor is valid as against the bona fide purchasers and creditors of the conditional vendee, if there has been sufficient compliance with the recording laws that may exist. The question to be herein considered is whether that general rule is in any way modified where the goods are purchased for the purpose of resale. This is a problem of practical significance to the business world in that it involves the …

The "Sales In Bulk" Act, Edwin U. Driscoll Aug 1929

The "Sales In Bulk" Act, Edwin U. Driscoll

Washington Law Review

In the Magna Carta will be found what is said to be the first covenant for the protection of creditors' against fraudulent conveyances and other unjust acts of debtors. Since that time the attention of people through their constituted legislators has been directed to the enactment of statutes looking toward protection of creditors. Among the latest of these have been so-called "Sales in Bulk" laws, which have now been adopted in one form or another by the large majority of the states in the Union, all of which are aimed at the defrauding of creditors by the sale of all …

The Immunity Of Foreign States When Engaged In Commercial Enterprises: A Proposed Solution, John G. Hervey

Michigan Law Review

Do governments which engage in commercial undertakings assume the civil and criminal liabilities imposed upon private corporations engaged in similar enterprises, or do governments confer sovereign privileges upon their undertakings? Can governments engage in commercial enterprises and thereby escape the liabilities imposed upon private individuals? More particularly, are foreign governments engaged in such undertakings exempt from process in the American courts?

Implied Warranty Of Quality Under The Uniform Sales Act, J. Gordon Gose

Washington Law Review

The Uniform Sales Act was adopted by the legislature of the state of Washington m the extraordinary session of 1925. This act, patterned after similar legislation previously enacted in England, is designed to bring the law of the different states into conformity To effect this purpose the draughtsmen of the act largely codified the common law, but even where such a course was followed it is inevitable that the pre-existing law of some jurisdictions must be overruled. It is the purpose of the present discussion to consider the provisions of the Sales Act relative to implied warranty of quality in …

The Radio And Interstate Commerce Jun 1928

The Radio And Interstate Commerce

Michigan Law Review

As each newly discovered scientific principle is taken advantage of in the practical world, new legal problems arise around it. One way or another it is eventually taken care of by the expansion of the legal system to embrace the new situation. The discovery of radio transmission is an example made striking by the extraordinary speed with which it has become a part of the people's daily life and the conflicts of interest that are peculiar to it. The law found itself relieved of many of the embarrassments in dealing with the problem by the fact that Congress early undertook …

Interstate Ferries And The Commerce Clause, C. M. Kneier Apr 1928

Interstate Ferries And The Commerce Clause, C. M. Kneier

Michigan Law Review

The Constitution of the United States confers upon Congress the power to regulate commerce among the several states; the transportation of passengers and freight across a navigable river from one state to another by ferryboat, however short the distance traversed, or frequent the trips made, is interstate commerce. It is the purpose of this study to point out what action Congress has taken under the power thus conferred upon it relative to interstate ferries and to determine the relative spheres of authority of the states and of the National Government over this subject.
