Negligence - Interspousal Tort Immunity - Action By Wife Against Deceased Husband's Estate, Charles E. Voltz

Michigan Law Review

When the automobile driven by plaintiff's husband collided with another vehicle, plaintiff's husband was killed and she was seriously injured and rendered mentally incompetent. Plaintiff's guardian brought a negligence action for her injuries against the other driver, who impleaded the administrator of her husband's estate as a third-party defendant. The trial court denied administrator's pre-trial motion for summary judgment, and subsequently entered judgment against the administrator. On certification, held, affirmed. The doctrine of tort immunity between spouses is based on a policy of preserving domestic peace and harmony and preventing fraudulent collusion against insurance companies, and does not apply …

Practical Aspects Of Ohio Divorce Proceedings, Anthony R. Fiorette

Cleveland State Law Review

In its enforcement, the lawyer, as an officer of the court, occupies a top position of responsibility. The opportunity to deter, and perhaps prevent, the ultimate dissolution of the family comes first to him, and carries with it, a challenge to his patience, tolerance and particularly to his concept of social service. When pursuit of divorce and consequent family disorganization appears unavoidable, counsel is accorded a further opportunity to minimize expenses, avoid scandal and bitterness, and to plan the future welfare of the minor children and the estranged spouses. In performing this task he seeks to evaluate how the court …

Family Law 1961 Survey Of New York Law: Part Four: Torts And Family Law, Roger J. Goebel, Arthur W. Rashap

Faculty Scholarship

Legislation designed to enable prompt judicial supervision of private adoptions was the most significant advance in domestic relations law this year. The legislature also subjected the contracts and earnings of infants engaged in professional activities to judicial control. Notable Court of Appeals decisions granted an annulment for constructive abandonment through refusal of sexual relations, denied an injunction against divorce proceedings in a foreign nation, and refused to abrogate the old rule against actions in tort by a child against his parent. Probably the most notorious case of the year was the action for debauchery brought by an eighteen-year-old plaintiff against …
