Administrative Law-Evidence-Probative Value Of Hearsay Testimony Before Administrative Tribunals Jun 1926

Administrative Law-Evidence-Probative Value Of Hearsay Testimony Before Administrative Tribunals

Michigan Law Review

In the recent case of Lloyd-McAlpine Logging Co. v. Whitefish (Wis. 1926) 206 N. 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. Under the Wisconsin statute (Stat. 1925, sec. 102.11 (3) (c)) in awarding compensation to the children, a showing that they were living with the deceased and that there is no surviving dependent parent, is required. The Commission, on the testimony of a witness whose expressions were mere conclusions, with no …


Wills-Admissibility Of Statements Of Testator In Proceedings Contesting A Will May 1926

Wills-Admissibility Of Statements Of Testator In Proceedings Contesting A Will

Michigan Law Review

There are, perhaps, very few matters upon which ordinary men are more reticent than the testimentary disposition of their property. The testator, having made his will, often practices the utmost secrecy regarding it, evading questions and, sometimes, even violating the truth in order to preserve peace among his kinsmen until he is gone. And yet, when proceedings are brought for the purpose of contesting the will, we often find the courts admitting in evidence statements made by the testator before or after the making of the will. In a recent California case, in response to the objection that the alleged …

Evidence By Surviving Participant Of A Contract Or Other Transaction Jan 1926

Evidence By Surviving Participant Of A Contract Or Other Transaction

Michigan Law Review

Among the most prolific and endless sources of litigation of recent times are the so-called "dead man statutes", which forbid the surviving participant in a contract or other transaction to testify regarding it unless the opposing party waives the restriction. These statutes lay down a rule of thumb which treats all cases, meritorious or unmeritorious, exactly the same. In attempting to apply them to the cases the courts have made one fine distinction after another, only to interject still finer ones in between, until the whole· makes a labyrinth in which suitor and court have often found themselves hopelessly lost. …

Wills--Admissibility Of Parole Evidence To Show Mistake Of Scrivner Dec 1925

Wills--Admissibility Of Parole Evidence To Show Mistake Of Scrivner

Michigan Law Review

Perhaps very few legal questions have given rise to more controversy than that of the admissibility of parol evidence to show the intent of a testator. An interesting phase of the general question was presented to the supreme court of errors of Connecticut in the recent case of Stearns v. Stearns, (Conn. 1925) 130 Atl. 112. Parol evidence was offered to show that the testatrix intended to devise and bequeath all the residue and remainder of her estate to her husband and that instructions were so given to the scrivener but he failed to draft the will in accordance …
