Domestic Relations -- 1962 Tennessee Survey, William J. Harbison

Vanderbilt Law Review

The case of Folk v. Folk' dealt with a long-continued domestic dispute in which the husband sought unsuccessfully to terminate a separate maintenance decree. The litigation had begun in 1954 as a divorce suit by the wife. Although her prayer for divorce had been denied, she had been allowed separate maintenance from her husband because of his mistreatment of her. The chancellor in that action had provided that the separate maintenance payments should continue unless the wife should unreasonably reject a sincere attempt at reconciliation by the husband. The court of appeals had stricken this portion of the decree but …

Parent-Child Tort Actions, Richard W. Dunn

Cleveland State Law Review

The rule in all states that have heard such actions is that an unemancipated child cannot sue his parent for a negligent tort in their ordinary family relationships. There does not appear to be any exception to that rule, unless the "business injury" rule (discussed below) is an exception. It is the opinion of this writer that this iron rule is archaic and should be changed. A total stranger may recover damages for the negligent act of a person who may be a parent, yet that same parent's own child may not recover.

A Re-Evaluation Of The Privilege Against Adverse Spousal Testimony In The Light Of Its Purpose, Paul F. Rothstein

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The recent development in American federal criminal evidence law to be examined and compared with English law in this paper, is a new evolutionary turn taken by the husband-wife privilege against adverse spousal testimony, manifest in the Supreme Court decision of Wyatt v. United States. The House of Lords, in Rumping v. D.P.P., just decided, suggests that the English spousal privileges might be susceptible of similar development.

Taxation-Federal Income Tax-Divocrce Property Settlement As A Taxable Event, Martin B. Dickinson Jr., S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Respondent taxpayer transferred stock to his former wife pursuant to a voluntary property settlement agreement incorporated in their divorce decree. As consideration for the securities conveyed, his wife released her rights to alimony, dower, and intestate succession under Delaware law. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue assessed as taxable gain the difference between the taxpayer's basis for the stock and its market value at the time of the transfer, but the Court of Claims ruled that the taxpayer realized no taxable gain from the transfer. On certiorari, held, reversed. The exchange was a taxable event in which the taxpayer received …

The Challenge Of Apportionment, Donald B. King

Washington Law Review

During the past half century, one of the most significant problems in the area of community property has been the apportionment of income or of an increase in value in situations involving the expenditure of community labor on separate property. Arising out of a conflict between fundamental community property concepts, this problem has served to perplex lawyers and judges alike. Confronted with the problem, courts have designed a number of systems of apportionment with wide-ranging consequences. Some of these systems, however, are inequitable, others are inflexible, and still others lack any definite criteria. Despite the efforts devoted toward solving this …

Vanderbilt Law Review

The constitutional provision governing patents gives Congress the power to promote the progress of useful arts "by securing for limited Times to... Inventors the exclusive Right to their... Discoveries. "'Because an "exclusive right" suggests an exclusive grant, the Patent Office interference proceeding has been created for the purpose of determining administratively the question of priority of rights between two or more parties claiming substantially the same invention. This article attempts to state in terms of an informal axiomatic system the rules of law for determining priority of invention, and then examine that system to explore its possible paradoxes Finally, an …
