Conflict Of Laws-Jurisdiction-Foreign Corporation Not Doing Business In The State Nov 1927

Conflict Of Laws-Jurisdiction-Foreign Corporation Not Doing Business In The State

Michigan Law Review

A summons addressed to the defendant corporation was served upon one of its officers at his private residence in Minnesota. The defendant, appearing specially, moved to set aside the service on the ground that it was a foreign corporation not transacting business in the state and that it had empowered no one to accept service of process there in its behalf. The plaintiff contended that the acquisition and ownership of property in Minnesota brought the defendant into the state and under the jurisdiction of its courts. Held, jurisdiction over the corporate property did not give jurisdiction over the corporate …

Conflict Of Laws-Claim Under Compensation Act-Suit In State Other Than That Of Injury Apr 1927

Conflict Of Laws-Claim Under Compensation Act-Suit In State Other Than That Of Injury

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs brought suit in the federal court for the southern district of Texas on grounds of diversity of citizenship under the Louisiana Employers Liability Act to recover for the death of their father who had been killed by falling from defendant's dredge upon which he was employed. The contract of employment was made, and the death occurred in Louisiana. The Act is of the "optional" type. It provides that the employer shall, upon the accidental death of an employee in the course of his employment, pay compensation to the employee's dependents. Payment is to be made at periodical intervals for …

Acquisition Of Foreign Domicil And The Doctrine Of Renvoi

Michigan Law Review

A recent English decision has virtually overruled the leading case of In re Johnson, and revived interest in problems raised by application of the much discussed doctrine of renvoi.


Judicial Precedent In Mexican Law Nov 1926

Judicial Precedent In Mexican Law

Michigan Law Review

It is well known that precedent in the modern legal systems based upon the Roman law does not play the important role that it performs in the United States and Great Britain. A decision in an Anglo-American supreme court not only determines the point at issue but establishes a rule under which decisions may be made in the future. A decision in a Latin-American, or in a Continental supreme court has only the value of a judgment on the particular point in question. The body of decisions rendered upon the same point of law is not considered in the countries …

Inheritance Problems In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich Apr 1926

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

Michigan Law Review

A man, domiciled in Michigan, dies. He leaves real and personal property in Michigan, and in addition a farm in Ohio, with the usual stock of animals, agricultural implements and other farm property upon it; he leaves a mercantile business in Wisconsin, and shares of stock in several corporations chartered in as many different states. What law or laws will determine the devolution of his estate?


Conflict Of Laws-Adoption-Jurisdiction Mar 1926

Conflict Of Laws-Adoption-Jurisdiction

Michigan Law Review

Sociologists treat of the subject of adoption very sparsely. It is but a desired end in their work, and having its foundation in law, yields but slightly to sociological supervision. However, there exist many reports and treatises in the field of child placement and the effect thereof on the child. The most cursory examination of these works reveals that from the social point of view, at least, the work is conducted with but one end in view, i. e., the welfare of the child. Adoption, as a means to this end, has the same reason for its foundation. To this …

Treatment Of Capacity To Contract In Conflict Of Laws Cases, Raymond J. Heilman Feb 1926

Treatment Of Capacity To Contract In Conflict Of Laws Cases, Raymond J. Heilman

West Virginia Law Review

The decision of a ease often depends upon the conception which is held of the fundamental nature of the problem presented in the controversy. Perhaps in no field is this more true than in that of the "conflict of laws." And it may be ventured that in no other has resulted more confusion and inconsistency in adjudications a result of failure to analyze the legal problems in particular cases down to their foundations and even their sub-structures, or as a result of failure to agree upon such analysis. Because of the additional complexity which the "conflict of laws" phase gives …

The Power Of The Written Assertion, Gustavus Ohlinger Jan 1926

The Power Of The Written Assertion, Gustavus Ohlinger

Michigan Law Review

In his Outline of History Mr. Wells comments on the exaggerated estimate which people generally, through reading the Old Testament account, have come to entertain of the wisdom of Solomon and of the glory and prestige of the Israelitish Kingdom during his reign. By way of contrast, the facts, which are readily available and discernable even in the scriptural narrative, reveal this much advertised monarch as a rather insignificant chieftain and his kingdom as a pawn in the policies of his powerful neighbors-a striking example, according to Mr. Wells, of the power of the written assertion over realities in men's …


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, …
