The Need For Revisiting The Imposition Of Bad Faith Liability: Industrial Indemnity Co. V. Kallevig, J. Benson Porter, Jr.
The Need For Revisiting The Imposition Of Bad Faith Liability: Industrial Indemnity Co. V. Kallevig, J. Benson Porter, Jr.
Seattle University Law Review
This Note posits two recommendations. First, in order to harmonize the bad faith standards applied in Kallevig and Gingrich, the Kallevig reasonable justification standard should be applied in situations involving questions similar to those confronted by the Gingrich court. Second, this Note contends that the Kallevig court's analysis imposing liability under the CPA was defective because it failed to take proper account of the frequency requirement within the unfair trade practices regulations. By ignoring the frequency provision, the Kallevig decision allows inconsistent treatment of similar factual situations depending on whether the decision is being made by an agency or …
Individual Negotiation Of Warranty Disclaimers: An Economic Analysis Of An Assumedly Market Enhancing Rule, Thomas J. Holdych, George Ferrell
Individual Negotiation Of Warranty Disclaimers: An Economic Analysis Of An Assumedly Market Enhancing Rule, Thomas J. Holdych, George Ferrell
Seattle University Law Review
In this Article, we will examine the economic forces that shape the typical contract for the sale of goods to determine whether Berg's requirements of explicit negotiation and specific disclosure are justified, and if not, whether the Berg rules should be modified or abolished. In particular, we will examine how buyers and sellers determine the terms of the contracts they enter. Most importantly, we will consider the common assertion that consumers have no ability to bargain and therefore have no influence on what terms merchants and manufacturers include in their standard contracts. We will also consider whether merchants systematically …

Automatic Consumer Protection Recovery Act For Lack Of Informed Consent: Quimby V. Fine, Dr. Carroll Rusk, Jr.
Automatic Consumer Protection Recovery Act For Lack Of Informed Consent: Quimby V. Fine, Dr. Carroll Rusk, Jr.
Seattle University Law Review
This Note will demonstrate the need to refine the entrepreneurial aspects test as it applies to medical professionals and suggest a rationale for identifying those lack-of-informed-consent actions to which the Consumer Protection Act rightfully applies. Specifically, this Note seeks to: 1) demonstrate that satisfaction of the statutory elements of a lack-of-informed-consent claim necessarily satisfies the five prongs of the Hangman private dispute test; 2) show that the additional requirement that the lack of informed consent "relate to the entrepreneurial aspects of the medical practice" has not been definitively interpreted, and that it may be unintelligible in context; 3) identify the …
Insurance Anti-Rebate Statutes And Dade County Consumer Advocates V. Department Of Insurance: Can A 19th Century Idea Protect Modern Consumers?, John S. Conniff
Insurance Anti-Rebate Statutes And Dade County Consumer Advocates V. Department Of Insurance: Can A 19th Century Idea Protect Modern Consumers?, John S. Conniff
Seattle University Law Review
In 1984, a Florida court of appeals held that the Florida statutes prohibiting insurance agents from rebating part of their commissions to customers violated the due process clause of the Florida Constitution. The court concluded that no rational relationship exists between the anti-rebate statutes and the legitimate state purpose of protecting the public. The Florida decision is noteworthy because every state prohibits insurance agents and brokers from rebating to their customers a part of the commission earned from the sale of an insurance policy. In addition, every state prohibits unfair discrimination in pricing insurance policies and prohibits agreements between agents …
On The Propriety Of The Public Interest Requirement In The Washington Consumer Protection Act—Wash. Rev. Code § 19.86, Susan K. Storey
On The Propriety Of The Public Interest Requirement In The Washington Consumer Protection Act—Wash. Rev. Code § 19.86, Susan K. Storey
Seattle University Law Review
This Note discusses first, whether the judicially created public interest element of a private consumer protection case can be justified by the language of the Consumer Protection Act and, second, assuming some justification for the element can be found, whether the public interest test, as delineated in Anhold v. Daniels and Hangman Ridge Training Stables, Inc. v. Safeco Title Insurance Co. serves a purpose intended by the legislature.” This Note concludes that the public interest element is unnecessary because it hinders and often prevents consumer litigation of private damage actions under the Act. Moreover, the public interest element cannot be …
Forfeiture Clauses In Land Installment Contracts: Time For Equitable Foreclosure, Donna R. Roper
Forfeiture Clauses In Land Installment Contracts: Time For Equitable Foreclosure, Donna R. Roper
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment will trace the history of the Washington courts' decision to deny foreclosure by judicial sale in land installment contracts with forfeiture clauses and will demonstrate the viability and preferability of foreclosure by judicial sale as an equitable remedy for a defaulting buyer. The Comment will also describe how other states, either legislatively or judicially, have resolved the inequity of forfeitures.
