Change Of Position And Estoppel As Defences To An 'Action For Money Paid By Mistake, Karl J. Dore Oct 1992

Change Of Position And Estoppel As Defences To An 'Action For Money Paid By Mistake, Karl J. Dore

Dalhousie Law Journal

The recent decision in RBC Dominion Securities Inc.v. Dawson' raises some interesting questions regarding the defences available to a claim in restitution for the recovery of money paid by mistake. At issue were the, defences of change of position and estoppel. Both defences are recognized in Canadian law, but questions remain regarding their limits and their relationship.


Morguard Investments Ltd.: Emerging International Implications, Simon Coakeley, Peter Finkle, Louise Barrington Oct 1992

Morguard Investments Ltd.: Emerging International Implications, Simon Coakeley, Peter Finkle, Louise Barrington

Dalhousie Law Journal

Events often gain a momentum of their own, sometimes well beyond that anticipated by those who set them in motion; this is as true in the field of law as it is in other areas of human endeavour. MorguardInvestments Ltd. v. De Savoye' is a legal event which seems to be taking on a rapidly building momentum. Basing themselves on this decision, Canadian courts, especially those in British Columbia, are recognizing and enforcing judgments from other courts in civil matters, even when these judgments bear few, if any, of the hallmarks that traditionally entitled a foreign judgment to be recognized …


The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change?, Ian Holloway Oct 1992

The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change?, Ian Holloway

Dalhousie Law Journal

Coming as it does in the midst of all the palaver over political correctness within the American academic community, The Hollow Hope is, if nothing else, an opportune articulation of iconoclasm in the debate over civil rights and constitutional law in the United States.' Professor Rosenberg's questioning of the "cult of the court" provides a welcome expression of healthy skepticism towards an institution which conventional myth reveres beyond its due.


The Georgia Jury And Negligence: The View From The (Federal) Bench, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Sep 1992

The Georgia Jury And Negligence: The View From The (Federal) Bench, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

This is the second part of a two-part inquiry into the quality of jury performance in Georgia negligence cases. Evaluation begins from within. That is an especially prominent truth in respect to the trial of negligence cases. The lay-professional partnership composing the civil trial system is unique. the professional's continuity provides a point of perfect perspective on the transient lay component--both its capacity and its performance. If the professional will share that perspective, it can structure a benchmark for foundational appraisal. To their great credit, the state and federal trial judges of Georgia are unstinting in assisting to construct that …

The Hazelwood Hazard: Litigating And Legislating In The State Domain When Federal Avenues Are Closed, Alexander Wohl Jan 1992

The Hazelwood Hazard: Litigating And Legislating In The State Domain When Federal Avenues Are Closed, Alexander Wohl

St. Thomas Law Review

The focus of this article is to move the awareness of the ability to expand individual rights in the state domain one step further, into the legislative arena; to examine efforts to overcome judicial restrictions under the United States Constitution not simply through an increased use of state judicial remedies but, in instances where that option may fall short or may not be the best alternative, through action in the individual state legislatures. As a means of studying this procedure, this article will focus on a particular Supreme Court decision that limited a previously existing right under the Bill of …

Book Review, Graham Hughes Jan 1991

Book Review, Graham Hughes

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Decades of conflict with Soviet Russia compelled the West to come up with soothing explanations of the German Nazi past. If Germany was our gallant ally, standing fast in NATO against the menace of Communism, it somehow must be cleansed of any stain of original sin. This has been accomplished by portraying the Nazi years as a monstrous aberration--a characterization naturally fostered and promoted by the Germans themselves. Germany had struggled in the years of the Weimar Republic toward a democratic system and a just society. Under this view of things, a handful of evil maniacs, who incomprehensibly had succeeded …
