The Russian Reinsurance Case, Edwin D. Dickinson Oct 1925

The Russian Reinsurance Case, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

Professor Dickinson's second commentary on Russian Reinsurance Company v. Stoddard and Bankers Trust Company: "The facts in the Russian Reinsurance Company case were without precedent. The Reinsurance Company had been incorporated in Russia in 1899 under a special statute constituting its charter and by-laws.... In 1917 the revolutionary Soviet Government was established in Russia and seven of the eight persons constituting the company's board of directors was driven into exile. In 1918 Soviet decrees nationalized the company, confiscated its property, and apparently terminated its corporate existence. Nevertheless, the exiled directors held meetings in Paris and continued to direct the …

Conflict Of Laws Rules As Constitutional Limitations Apr 1925

Conflict Of Laws Rules As Constitutional Limitations

Michigan Law Review

With the constant growth of the United States as a commercial nation, it has been inevitable that state lines should figure in business transactions to an ever diminishing extent. Business relations, keeping pace with the rapid development of modem means of transportation, have increasingly assumed an interstate aspect. With this extension of commercial dealings, the question of the legal rights of the parties so engaged has frequently arisen. Diversity of local rules of law has led to much litigation and disagreement. Differences in local rules might be overcome through the services of competent commercial lawyers, and contracts might then be …

Conflict Of Laws-Testamentary Trusts Feb 1925

Conflict Of Laws-Testamentary Trusts

Michigan Law Review

The rules of conflict of laws are, in many instances, in chaotic condition. Particularly is this true in parts of the law applying to trusts of personal property created by will. When the domicile of the testator, the place of execution of the will, the residence of the trustees, and the trust estate are all in the same jurisdiction, it is evident that the law of that state will control. But when the domiciles of the trustees and the testator differ, or when the trust estate is in a foreign land, we are presented with our specific problem of the …

Legitimation And Adoption In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich May 1924

Legitimation And Adoption In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich

Michigan Law Review

Legitimation is defined in Bouvier's Law Dictionary as the act of giving the character of legitimate children to those who were not so born. To make the description complete, it should be added that the natural relation of parent and child must exist between the parties (if strangers in blood the case becomes one of adoption) and that the act or acts of legitimation must be provided for by law.

Conflict Of Laws-"Full Faith And Credit"-Injunction Restraining Suit In Foreign State Mar 1924

Conflict Of Laws-"Full Faith And Credit"-Injunction Restraining Suit In Foreign State

Michigan Law Review

X, an Iowan, is injured by Y, a fellow citizen, who obtains an injunction in Iowa restraining X from suing in Minnesota. X having subsequently commenced suit in Minnesota, Y files his bill asking the court of that state to enforce the Iowa decree. Should the Minnesota court enforce the foreign injunction decree, as a matter of "comity"? Must it do so, under the "full faith and credit" clause? Strangely enough the Minnesota court has had two of the comparatively small number of cases involving these particular questions. In State ex rel. Bossung v. District Court, 140 Minn. 494, …

Recognition Of Foreign Decree Annulling Marriage Feb 1924

Recognition Of Foreign Decree Annulling Marriage

Michigan Law Review

Decisions considering the question of jurisdiction to annul a marriage or the recognition to be afforded to a decree of annulment rendered by a But upon questions in the law of divorce authorities are legion. American lawyers naturally tum to divorce as the means of securing relief for clients from distasteful or unbearable marital difficulties. But annulment cases are increasing in number, and the increase in some states may be expected to continue. In Di Lorenzo v. Di Lorenzo, 174 N. Y. 467, the court of appeals said that every misrepresentation of a material fact, made with the intention …

Conflict Of Laws--The Uniform Divorce Act And Full Faith And Credit Jun 1923

Conflict Of Laws--The Uniform Divorce Act And Full Faith And Credit

Michigan Law Review

in spite of the recognized need for uniformity in divorce law, the Act Regulating Annulment of Marriage and Divorce has not met with widespread favor. This act was framed by the National Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws in 1900 and was approved in 1907 by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. It has been adopted only by Delaware, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. While general adoption would remove much of the present uncertainty in the law, some interesting problems are still left for solution.

Foreign Marriages And The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich May 1923

Foreign Marriages And The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich

Michigan Law Review

It is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract." A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the …

Divorce Problems In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich Jan 1923

Divorce Problems In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich

Articles

Divorce may be considered as the termination of the legal relationship between husband and wife by an act of the law. With the purely local aspect of legal questions regarding divorce, Conflict of Laws is not concerned. If a husband and wife are married and have their home in one state, legal questions concerning their divorce are local matters only. These will include the grounds for divorce, the particular court in which the action is brought, the procedure to be followed from commencement to termination of the action. In such a case it is only when some question concerning the …

Les Gouvernements Ou États Non Reconnus En Droit Anglais Et Américain, Edwin D. Dickinson Jan 1923

Les Gouvernements Ou États Non Reconnus En Droit Anglais Et Américain, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

Professor Dickinson tackles the subject of non-recognition of governments or states in English and American law: "Pour conclure, voici les propositions de l'auteur. La reconnaissance d'un Gouvernement or Etat etranger est exclusivement une question politique. L'existence d'un Gouvernement ou Etat etranger est exclusivement une question de fait.... C'est une chose deja grave que de voir d'une menace dans les conflits diplomatiques..."

Foreign Marriages And The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich Jan 1922

Foreign Marriages And The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich

Articles

With the purely local phases of the law governing the relation of husband and wife, Conflict of Laws has no concern. Nor do we deal with Public International Law problems, such as the question of expatriation by marriage. We are concerned with two questions: first, what law governs the creation of the marriage relation; and second, the recognition and protection to be given the relation and incidents arising therefrom, under the law of states other than that in which the relationship was created.

Book Reviews, Hessel Edward Yntema, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

To Joseph Story goes the credit of having introduced to American and to English law that field which he, following Ulric Huber, denominated the conflict of laws. It should not, however, be forgotten that behind Story lay at least six centuries of continental criticism upon which he drew for his materials. And it should be of peculiar interest to those trained in the Common Law to have pointed out the extent to which this most controversial of subjects was from the outset influenced by the practice of the courts. In the present monograph, originally written in celebration of the seventy …

Book Reviews, Joseph H. Drake

Michigan Law Review

The appearance in permanent form of these five lectures, which were first published in the Fortnightly Review in 1878 and i879, will be welcomed by all interested in the history of jurisprudence, since they put forth in most attractive form several of the basic principles of the subject as they were understood by learned English jurists forty years ago. They are reissued in practically unchanged form, with annotations by Professor Lefroy, whose untimely death apparently occurred before the volume was printed, though there is no notice of that sad event in the book itself.

Effect At The Situs Rei, Of A Decree Ordering Conveyance Of Foreign Land, Edgar N. Durfee Jan 1919

Effect At The Situs Rei, Of A Decree Ordering Conveyance Of Foreign Land, Edgar N. Durfee

Articles

In a recent article in this Review, Prof. Willard Barbour discussed the question indicated by the above title. His cbnclusions may be-briefly slated as follows: that such a decree of a competent court having jurisdiction of the person of the defendant creates a personal obligation upon the defendant which a court of equity at the situs should enforce just as it would a contract or trust concerning this land made in the foreign jurisdiction: and that, as between the States of this Union, the "full faith and credit" clause of the Constitution makes such enforcement of the foreign decree obligatory. …
