Contract Limitations Of The Common Carrier's Liability, Edwin C. Goddard May 1910

Contract Limitations Of The Common Carrier's Liability, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

When Mr. Justice Nelson, in the New Jersey Steam Navigation Company v. Merchants' Bank, speaking of the power of a common carrier by special agreement to restrict his obligation, said for the court: "We are unable to perceive any well founded objection to the restriction," he opened the way for an amount of litigation which, in volume and expense, both to carriers and shippers, scarcely finds its equal on any other question. The Supreme Court of North Carolina was well within the limit when it said: "The right of a common carrier to limit or diminish his general liability by …

Mutuality Of Options, R. T. Holland Apr 1909

Mutuality Of Options, R. T. Holland

Michigan Law Review

In spite of the fact that options, so-called, have been in use for many years, it is surprising to find that the law is still somewhat unsettled, and that courts frequently express doubt as to their validity at this late day. The main difficulty with this form of contract seems to be an apparent lack of mutuality, and even when sustained, they have, in many cases, been treated as exceptions to the rule that mutuality must be present in all contracts.

The Public Policy Of Contracts To Will Future Acquired Property, Joseph H. Drake Jan 1909

The Public Policy Of Contracts To Will Future Acquired Property, Joseph H. Drake

Articles

The general subject of wills upon consideration seems to have given courts and jurists a good deal of trouble, not only in England and America, but also in the continental countries. The Code Napoleon appears in terms actually to prohibit the making of reciprocal or mutual wills in the same instrument.

An Historical Development Of The Contract Theory In The Dartmouth College Case, R. N. Denham Jr. Jan 1909

An Historical Development Of The Contract Theory In The Dartmouth College Case, R. N. Denham Jr.

Michigan Law Review

The theory enunciated in the famous Dartmouth College Case may be said to date back to the very beginnings of corporations. Just when were the beginnings of corporations and corporation law is, however, a question that has long been a much mooted one, some claiming that they were not known until the middle ages, while others put their inception as far back as the time of Solon in Greece; still others name Numa as the true founder of corporations, by reason of his classification of the Romans into societies according to the manual trade each followed, but the first really …

The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem May 1908

The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

Purpose of this article--The manager of the execution of instruments under seal, such as deeds, bonds and other solemn writings, is of so much importance and has been so frequently discussed, as to merit the more extended treatment, which it is the purpose of this article to devote to it. The word "deed" herein is used to describe all it instruments under seal, and not merely conveyances of land. It is to be observed that the question here is not how authority to execute sealed instruments is to be conferred, but how such an authority is to be executed.
