New York Life Insurance Company V. Dunlevy Revisited: The Power Of A Court To Exercise Jurisdiction For The Wrong Reason, Wilfred J. Ritz Jan 1964

New York Life Insurance Company V. Dunlevy Revisited: The Power Of A Court To Exercise Jurisdiction For The Wrong Reason, Wilfred J. Ritz

Duquesne Law Review

Judgments can be divided into two classes: those that are valid and those that are void. Furthermore, according to Section 5 of the Restatement of Judgments: A judgment is void unless the State in which it is rendered has jurisdiction to subject to its control the parties or the property or status sought to be affected. The bases of jurisdiction, it is to be noted, are stated in the alternative - the parties or the property or the status. It is difficult to see how, in any realistic sense, a court can control property or status, without also having control …

Virginia's New "Long Arm" Statute, J. Westwood Smithers

University of Richmond Law Review

At its recent 1964 session, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted a statute which will widely expand the jurisdiction of our courts over nonresidents. The purpose of this brief editorial is to call attention to the new law, to provide a copy of it for our readers, and to make a few rather cursory comments on its significance.

Federal Procedure-Jurisdiction Of District Court To Grant Declaratory Judgement To Nontaxpayer Whose Property Has Been Seized By District Director Of Internal Revenue, Philip B. Bass Jan 1964

Federal Procedure-Jurisdiction Of District Court To Grant Declaratory Judgement To Nontaxpayer Whose Property Has Been Seized By District Director Of Internal Revenue, Philip B. Bass

Michigan Law Review

Personal property of plaintiff, a delinquent taxpayer, was seized and sold by defendant district director of internal revenue. Defendant contended that the seized property actually belonged to plaintiff's corporation, which also was delinquent in its taxes; he planned to apply the proceeds of the sale of the property against the corporation's tax liability. Plaintiff sued in federal district court for a declaratory judgment that the property belonged to him, not the corporation, and that the proceeds should be applied against his own tax liability. Plaintiff and defendant were citizens of the same state. Plaintiff sought to base federal jurisdiction either …

The Constitution And Preclusion/Res Judicata, Allan D. Vestal Nov 1963

The Constitution And Preclusion/Res Judicata, Allan D. Vestal

Michigan Law Review

The interrelation of lawsuits is one of the most troublesome, yet least commented upon, areas of the law. The ramifications are great; related lawsuits may be pending concurrently, either brought by the same individual-repetitive litigation--or brought by different parties-reactive litigation. Such lawsuits may occur serially over a period of time. The courts are then faced with problems which have traditionally been discussed in terms of res judicata, bar, merger, or estoppel. It is impossible to cover the whole area or even a sizable part of it in a single article, but it is feasible to examine one facet which certainly …


Notice Requirements Of Guaranty Contracts, Richard F. Dole Jr. Nov 1963

Notice Requirements Of Guaranty Contracts, Richard F. Dole Jr.

Michigan Law Review

The following is an attempt to verify Corbin's educated guess through the application of factual analysis. If significant facts can be isolated which produce the same result regardless of the theory applied by the court, no real conflict can be said to exist. An initial exploration of the problems involved is a prerequisite to delineating the area in which factual analysis must be used.


The New Michigan Pre-Trial Procedural Rules-Models For Other States?, Robert Meisenholder Jun 1963

The New Michigan Pre-Trial Procedural Rules-Models For Other States?, Robert Meisenholder

Michigan Law Review

The new Michigan procedural laws are embodied in a revised set of statutes and court rules which became effective January 1, 1963, after a long period of study by a Joint Committee on Michigan Procedural Revision. They abolish an anachronistic distinction between procedures in law and equity, abrogate a scattered, disorganized set of rules and statutes, and create a unified, coherent procedural system.


Federal Jurisdiction-Three-Judge Courts-The Recent Evolution In Jurisdiction And Appellate Review, Peter W. Williamson S.Ed. Jun 1963

Federal Jurisdiction-Three-Judge Courts-The Recent Evolution In Jurisdiction And Appellate Review, Peter W. Williamson S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

This comment seeks to analyze each decision against its historical background. No more than a proforma attempt will be made to integrate one decision with the others, for sufficient material is not yet available to predict with any accuracy the Court's ultimate achievements in this important area of federal civil procedure.


Federal Jurisdiction-Federal Civil Procedure-Right To Jury Trial Of Seaman's Claim For Maintenance And Cure Where Joined With Claim Under Jones Act, Edwin A. Howe Jr. Jun 1963

Federal Jurisdiction-Federal Civil Procedure-Right To Jury Trial Of Seaman's Claim For Maintenance And Cure Where Joined With Claim Under Jones Act, Edwin A. Howe Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff seaman, having been injured while in the employ of defendant shipowner, filed an action in federal district court. Plaintiff invoked the court's federal-question jurisdiction alone, under section 1331 of the federal Judicial Code. He alleged claims for negligence under the Jones Act, for unseaworthiness, and for maintenance and cure, and demanded jury trial of all three counts. The trial court sustained the demand as to the first two counts, but ordered that the claim for maintenance and cure be tried to the judge alone, sitting as a court of admiralty. On appeal from the order denying jury trial …


Ripeness And Reviewable Orders In Administrative Law, Louis L. Jaffe May 1963

Ripeness And Reviewable Orders In Administrative Law, Louis L. Jaffe

Michigan Law Review

The requirement of "ripeness" as a condition for judicial review is not so much a definable doctrine as a compendious portmanteau, a group of related doctrines arising in diverse but analogically similar situations. In its most general sense ripeness is a requirement not of the administrative action to be reviewed but of the judicial controversy between the plaintiff and the agency. Consider the case where an agency has gone no further than to threaten a certain action which the plaintiff in an equity or declaratory proceeding claims would be contrary to law: here, in all strictness, the controversy concerns …

Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--Scope Of Arguable Nlrb Jurisdiction, Martin B. Dickinson Jr., S.Ed. Mar 1963

Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--Scope Of Arguable Nlrb Jurisdiction, Martin B. Dickinson Jr., S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Picketing by petitioner interrupted the unloading of respondent's cargo vessels. A state court granted respondent's request for a permanent injunction against further picketing, despite petitioner's contention that, since it was a "labor organization" within the meaning of section S(b) of the Labor Management Relations Act and respondent had alleged an unfair labor practice, the National Labor Relations Board had exclusive jurisdiction of the dispute. The Supreme Court of Minnesota affirmed the granting of injunctive relief. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed, one Justice dissenting. Since an unfair labor practice has been alleged and petitioner is …

Political Thickets And Crazy Quilts: Reapportionment And Equal Protection, Robert B. Mckay

Michigan Law Review

If asked to identify the two most important cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in the twentieth century, informed observers would be likely to name, in whichever order, Brown v. Board of Education and Baker v. Carr.


Legislative Apportionment And Representative Government: The Meaning Of Baker V. Carr, Jo Desha Lucas Feb 1963

Legislative Apportionment And Representative Government: The Meaning Of Baker V. Carr, Jo Desha Lucas

Michigan Law Review

In three recent cases the Supreme Court has reopened the question of the extent to which federal courts will review the general fairness of state schemes of legislative apportionment. It is a question on which the Court has had nothing to say for over a decade, leaving the bar to patch together the current state of the law from the outcome of cases disposed of without opinion considered against a backdrop of language used in earlier decisions.


Jurisdiction In International Application Of United States Antitrust Laws, Hiroshi Fukuda Jan 1963

Jurisdiction In International Application Of United States Antitrust Laws, Hiroshi Fukuda

Cleveland State Law Review

However, the trend to apply United States antitrust laws to international trade agreements has given rise to another important question, namely the jurisdictional problem of antitrust laws. Many people, both in this country and abroad, criticized this trend as an abuse of power and invasion of foreign sovereignty. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to analyze the underlying theories of jurisdiction with respect to antitrust laws and to discover the existing jurisdictional limitations imposed by the courts on themselves.


Administrative Law-Judicial Control-Injunctive Extension Of The Rate Suspension Period Under The Interstate Commerce Act, John Eppel Jan 1963

Administrative Law-Judicial Control-Injunctive Extension Of The Rate Suspension Period Under The Interstate Commerce Act, John Eppel

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiffs, two interstate carriers and a municipal corporation, and defendants, four railroad companies, were parties to an investigation and suspension proceeding before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Section 15(7) of the Interstate Commerce Act allows the Commission to suspend the effectiveness of rate revisions proposed by carriers for seven months while it is deciding whether to approve them. If no decision is reached by the end of the suspension period, the proposed rates automatically become effective subject to a subsequent determination of their validity by the ICC. Expiration of the order suspending defendants' rate proposals was imminent when, in an unprecedented …


Section 301 And The Primary Jurisdiction Of The Nlrb, Michael I. Sovern Jan 1963

Section 301 And The Primary Jurisdiction Of The Nlrb, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

Several labor cases recently decided by the Supreme Court have brought into issue a conflict between the NLRB's primary jurisdiction over matters subject to sections 7 and 8 of the NLRA and the doctrine that courts have jurisdiction to enforce collective agreements. Professor Sovern discusses these cases and argues that the Court properly decided that the principle of exclusive NLRB jurisdiction should yield in suits on collective agreements, but he criticizes the Court for not having articulated a satisfactory rationale in support of this result. After an analysis of the doctrine of preemption, he considers five types of labor-contract suits …

The Constitution And Contempt Of Court, Ronald Goldfarb Dec 1962

The Constitution And Contempt Of Court, Ronald Goldfarb

Michigan Law Review

Few legal devices find conflict within the lines of our Constitution with the ubiquity of the contempt power. These conflicts involve issues concerning the governmental power structure such as the separation of powers and the delicate balancing of federal-state relations. In addition, there are civil rights issues attributable to the conflict between the use of the contempt power and such vital procedural protections as the right to trial by jury, freedom from self-incrimination, double jeopardy, and indictment-to name only the most recurrent and controversial examples. Aside from these problems, there are other civil liberties issues, such as those involving freedom …


Bankruptcy-Fradulent Transfers-Venue For Plenary Actions Under Section 70(E), Martin B. Dickinson Jr. Dec 1962

Bankruptcy-Fradulent Transfers-Venue For Plenary Actions Under Section 70(E), Martin B. Dickinson Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff trustee in bankruptcy brought a plenary action under section 70(e) of the Bankruptcy Act in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for recovery of fraudulently transferred property located within the district. The defendants were citizens of Illinois, except the bankrupt's daughter, a California citizen. The district court granted the daughter's motion to dismiss for lack of venue. On appeal, held, reversed and remanded. Sections 23(b) and 70(e)(3) of the Bankruptcy Act exclude actions under section 70(e) from the requirements of the general venue provision of Title 28, U.S.C.; in all cases under section 70(e) …


Federal Appellate Jurisdiction-International Extradition-Review Of Extradition Proceedings, Martin R. Fine S.Ed. Dec 1962

Federal Appellate Jurisdiction-International Extradition-Review Of Extradition Proceedings, Martin R. Fine S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The Consul General of Venezuela filed a complaint in a federal district court, pursuant to treaty and statute, seeking the extradition of former President Perez Jimenez for the crimes of murder and embezzlement. While the required extradition hearings were pending, Venezuela sought to use the civil deposition and subpoena procedure8 to compel several New York banks to produce records of deposits and to give depositions concerning the accounts of Jimenez and his alleged confederates. Jimenez moved for a protective order' to prevent Venezuela from obtaining and using these records as evidence against him in the extradition hearings. On appeal from …
