Welfare And Pension Plans Disclosure Act Amendments Of 1962, G. Robert Blakey Apr 1963

Welfare And Pension Plans Disclosure Act Amendments Of 1962, G. Robert Blakey

Journal Articles

Over-all criticism of the Welfare and Pension Plans Disclosure Act, even as amended, must begin by noting the continuing inadequacy of its disclosure provisions. They are inadequate precisely because they do not require full and complete disclosure. It is clear that strong sanctions now exist which can, if used, deal well enough with such abuses as double dealing and outright thievery. Vigorous prosecution and adequate bonding will do about all that law can do where basic dishonesty is involved. Of greater importance to the ultimate beneficiary, however, is the possibility of incompetent, imprudent or irresponsible management. Only detailed regulation or …

The Federal Trade Commission And Deceptive Advertising Of Drugs, 1960-1961, Donna Kay Green Jan 1962

The Federal Trade Commission And Deceptive Advertising Of Drugs, 1960-1961, Donna Kay Green

Student Scholarship

This Washington Semester Project analyzes the Federal Trade Commission's effectiveness in regulating deceptive drug advertising between 1960 and 1961. The research highlights a significant transition in leadership from Republican Chairman Earl W. Kinter to Democratic Chairman Paul Rand Dixon, reflecting a broader national shift toward consumer protection during the New Frontier era. While Kinter emphasized voluntary compliance and the creation of simple guidelines for businessmen, Dixon initiated a rigorous reorganization aimed at eliminating the regulatory lag that often allowed false claims to outlive their effectiveness. Dixon’s approach focused on centering responsibility within individual attorneys and increasing the use of compulsory …

Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions And Policies, John J. O'Connell Sep 1961

Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions And Policies, John J. O'Connell

Washington Law Review

With the enactment of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, the Washington attorney will be meeting for the first time a comprehensive "antitrust" act designed to operate on the local or "intra-state" level. Because this act is, for the most part, unprecedented in this state, and because it involves, in addition to most of the complexities of federal antitrust law, a few novel features of its own, some sort of introduction to its provisions might be helpful to members of the Washington bar. There appears elsewhere in this issue an examination of the substantive provisions of this new law; my observations …

Sales - Implied Warranty - Privity Of Contract As A Prerequisite To Recovery From Manufacturer, John L. Peschel S. Ed. Jan 1961

Sales - Implied Warranty - Privity Of Contract As A Prerequisite To Recovery From Manufacturer, John L. Peschel S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sustained injuries in the course of his employment when a defective abrasive wheel, while being used in its intended manner, exploded in his face. The abrasive wheel was purchased by plaintiff's employer directly from the manufacturer. Plaintiff sought recovery from the manufacturer on two grounds: negligence in the manufacture of the abrasive wheel and breach of implied warranty for fitness of purpose. The negligence issue was submitted to the jury, which returned a verdict adverse to the plaintiff. The manufacturer's demurrer to the cause of action based upon implied warranty was sustained by the trial court. On appeal from …

Viewpoint Of The Consumer, Catherine H. Hotes Jan 1959

Viewpoint Of The Consumer, Catherine H. Hotes

Cleveland State Law Review

When Adam Smith described his self-regulating economy in the 1770's, he assumed that its motive power would be provided by the interplay of mutual demands and concessions between economic entities, and that such interplay would result in a balance of power. Since that time, the growth of huge corporations that employ modern technology, complex manufacturing processes, mass production, and mass advertising, into "clusters of private collectivisms" has substantially upset any such supposed balance of power.

Insurance - Federal Regulation - Authority Of Federal Trade Commission To Regulate False Advertising By Insurance Companies As Affected By The Mccarran-Ferguson Act, Charles C. Moore S.Ed. Dec 1958

Insurance - Federal Regulation - Authority Of Federal Trade Commission To Regulate False Advertising By Insurance Companies As Affected By The Mccarran-Ferguson Act, Charles C. Moore S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner, the FTC, issued cease and desist orders prohibiting respondent health and accident insurance companies, doing business in interstate commerce, from disseminating allegedly false and deceptive advertising through the medium of local agents. These orders, issued pursuant to the FTC act, sought to proscribe such activity both in states that had statutes prohibiting unfair and deceptive practices and in states that did not. The Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Sixth Circuits concluded that the FTC had no authority to regulate such advertising in states which had prohibitory legislation. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, …

Regulation Of Business - Jurisdiction Of The Civil Aeronautics Board And The Federal Trade Commission - Investigations In The Interest Of The Public, Robert W. Steele S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner, American Airlines, filed a memorandum with the Civil Aeronautics Board requesting that respondent's request for registration of the name North American Airlines be denied. Section 411 of the Civil Aeronautics Act provides that the board has the authority to prevent air carriers from engaging in unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and may issue a complaint against any air carrier when it shall appear to the board that a proceeding by it would be in the interest of the public. The board found that the public was confused as to the origin …


Torts - Liability Of Supplier Of Chattel - Proof Of Manufacturer's Negligence, Whitmore Gray Apr 1956

Torts - Liability Of Supplier Of Chattel - Proof Of Manufacturer's Negligence, Whitmore Gray

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff service station operator brought an action to recover for injuries resulting from the explosion of one of defendant manufacturer's tires. The tire, while admittedly new, had been purchased by a third party some eighteen months before being brought to the plaintiff for mounting. In addition to his own testimony, the only evidence supporting plaintiff's claim of negligence was expert testimony that such an explosion could be caused by defective wire in the bead when a tire was inflated to normal pressure, and also that there was opportunity for negligence in defendant's manufacturing processes. The district court set aside the …

Manufacturer's Advertisement As Express Warranty To Consumer, J. B. Sholley Nov 1932

Manufacturer's Advertisement As Express Warranty To Consumer, J. B. Sholley

Washington Law Review

One of the important developments in economic life in recent years has been the greatly increased production of packaged and labeled goods, advertised and distributed nationally by the manufacturer. The scope of the retailer's function has been correspondingly reduced, especially in regard to inspection. Naturally there has resulted a tendency in the law to increase the responsibility of the manufacturer to the consumer.

Unwary Purchaser, Edward S. Rogers Jun 1910

Unwary Purchaser, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

Anyone who has occasion to examine the cases involving trade mark infringement and other forms of unfair trading by the imitation of names, labels, packages and the like, must at once be struck by their irreconcilable conflict. While, of course, the facts in no two cases are alike, this diversity cannot account for the variance in result. The rule of law to be applied is not seriously disputed. The Lord Ordinary's definition of infringement, in Smith v. Carron, 13 R. P. C. 109, III, can hardly be improved upon: "A trade mark is infringed when goods are sent into the …
