Evidence - Admissibility Of Age In Hospital Record As Business Entry, Craig E. Davids

Michigan Law Review

Representing his birth date as 1866, deceased purchased from defendant insurance company in 1921 a policy on his life, which provided that in the event of any misrepresentation of age the insured's beneficiary would receive only that amount which a standard policy issued at his true age would stipulate for the premiums paid.

Michigan Law Review

The Milk Control Board issued an order providing in part that where milk or cream was sold in single service paper containers a nonrefundable container charge of one cent be added to the applicable wholesale or retail price.

Evidence - Admissibility Of Hospital Records As Business Entries, Robert C. Lovejoy May 1942

Evidence - Admissibility Of Hospital Records As Business Entries, Robert C. Lovejoy

Michigan Law Review

As a defense to a suit on an insurance policy, the defendant insurer claimed that the plaintiff was intoxicated at the time of the fatal accident. Defendant offered in evidence a portion of the case record of the hospital to which plaintiff was taken after the accident, the record stating that he was "apparently well under influence of alcohol." Although it was duly authenticated under the federal statute permitting business entries to be used as evidence, this evidence was excluded by the trial court as being an observation rather than a diagnosis. Held, reversed. There was no basis for …

The Hearsay Rule, Edmund M. Morgan Jan 1937

The Hearsay Rule, Edmund M. Morgan

Washington Law Review

Any attempt to define a legal concept makes advisable an inquiry into its origin and evolution. If it be a substantive law concept, the social purpose that is designed to serve—whether the avoidance of evils or the creation or furtherance of positive benefits—must be considered. If it be a concept of procedural law, the functions it is, or is thought to be, designed to perform in the process of reaching the factual and legal bases for satisfactory determination of disputes between litigants must be examined. It is proposed, therefore, first to look briefly at the causes which brought the hearsay …

Presumptions - Constitutional Validity Of Statute Establishing Proof Of Reputation As Prima Facie Evidence Of Commission Of Crime Feb 1932

Presumptions - Constitutional Validity Of Statute Establishing Proof Of Reputation As Prima Facie Evidence Of Commission Of Crime

Michigan Law Review

The rise and sway of the gangster as a menace to American social and economic security has led, of late, to the employment of unique means of combating lawlessness. Faced by a tremendous increase in the difficulties lying in the path of those seeking the conviction of professional criminals for major crimes, the police and prosecutors often turn towards a means of fighting crime originally devised to make life uncomfortable for petty off enders. The enforcement of the pistol laws and the vagrancy statutes against millionaire gangsters, and repeated arrests on suspicion, have been resorted to as a means of …

W. 914, the plaintiff brought action to vacate the award of the Industrial Commission in favor of the children of the deceased workman, who was killed in the course of his employment with the plaintiff company.

Some Problems In Hearsay And Relevancy In Missouri, E. W. Hinton Jun 1917

Some Problems In Hearsay And Relevancy In Missouri, E. W. Hinton

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

There is no rule better known than that hearsay evidence is generally not admissible. It is equally true, though not so widely known, that there are a large number of specific exceptions to this general rule of exclusion. Hearsay, has been so long under the ban that the profession not uncommonly thinks of it as not being evidence at all, rather than as a kind of evidence generally excluded for reasons of policy connected with the jury trial. This notion is responsible for a good deal of confusion in dealing with the exceptions under which hearsay is received. Instead of …
