Public Officers - Tort Liability For Acts Of Nonfeasance And Misfeasance, Michigan Law Review Feb 1940

Public Officers - Tort Liability For Acts Of Nonfeasance And Misfeasance, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Deceased was killed in a boxing match, death being largely the result of aggravated pneumonia, which had been contracted unknowingly two days before the bout. The alien father of the young boxer sought damages, for his son's wrongful death, from one member of the state athletic commission and its chief inspector. The theory of plaintiff's claim was that the officers were individually liable because of breach of their common-law and statutory duties to see that the boxer was given a proper physical examination before the fight. Held, on granting defendant's motion to dismiss, that the law imposed no duty …

The Form of the Summons Under the Recent Michigan Judicature Act - It would be rather remarkable if in revising such a large portion of the statutes as was undertaken by the Commission on Revision and Consolidation of Statutes of the State of Michigan, appointed in 1913, which reported to the legislature the recently enacted Judicature Act (Public Acts of Michigan, 915, § 314), some ambiguity or uncertainty were not to appear in the revision. The Judicature Act is no exception to the general rule, as the lawyer who attempts to begin suit by summons under it will discover at …

Law Of Dramatic Copyright. Ii., Edward S. Rogers Dec 1902

Law Of Dramatic Copyright. Ii., Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

V. Dramatization of novels. - Continued. - Fortunately, we, in the United States, have had very little trouble in regard to the dramatization of novels. The copyright statute provides that the author of a copyrighted book may reserve the right to dramatize and translate his own work. There is no question, however, that but for this act which creates the additional right of dramatization and translation, the English rule would be in force in this country. The exclusive right of translating "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was denied Mrs. Stowe in Stowe v. Thomas, "decided before the enactment of the statute permitting …

The Law Of Dramatic Copyright, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

Literary Property at Common Law.--There have been few legal questions so generally and so fully discussed-as that relating to the property of authors in their. writings. Up to 1769, it was generally conceded that authors enjoyed, by virtue of the common law, a perpetual copyright, and copyrights were sold and made the basis of family settlements. In 1769, the great case of Millar v. Taylor, was decided. An action had been brought in 1766 to recover ior the piracy of "Thomson's Seasons," and it was held by a majority of the judges, Lord Mansfield, Mr. Justice Aston and Mr. Justice …
