Trends In The Law Of Damages, John W. Reed
Trends In The Law Of Damages, John W. Reed
Articles
The law of damages deals with the process of translating harm into dollars. It is not, however, a coherent body of knowledge. Rather, it consists of an amalgam of many concepts and rules having to do with fundamental policy questions about loss-shifting, risk-spreading, and allocation of functions between judge and jury. Because damages is a "non-subject," little attention is paid to it in law school curricula and there is little writing about it. As one commentator put it, the law of damages "plods its way, ignored by academicians and 'accepted' by the courts. . . . The 'winds of change' …
Providing An Effective Remedy In Shareholder Suits Against Officers, Directors, And Controlling Persons, Michael H. Woolever
Providing An Effective Remedy In Shareholder Suits Against Officers, Directors, And Controlling Persons, Michael H. Woolever
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Corporate officers, directors, and controlling persons occupy a fiduciary relationship toward the corporation and its shareholders in the exercise of control over corporate affairs. This fiduciary obligation requires that officers, directors, and controlling persons act in good faith and perform their offices in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders and not to their own advantage. When this duty is breached, a shareholder may bring an action against these fiduciaries, either in his own name or derivatively for the benefit of the corporation. Under present law, however, it may be impossible for an American court to secure jurisdiction …
Manageability Of Notice And Damage Calculation In Consumer Class Actions, Michigan Law Review
Manageability Of Notice And Damage Calculation In Consumer Class Actions, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Comment will examine the likelihood that Rule 23, as it has been interpreted since its amendment, will provide a mechanism through which consumers may successfully resolve their grievances. The focus will be on the manageability problems of providing the requisite notice and of devising a method of calculation and distribution of damages.

Attorney's Fees As An Element Of Costs: The Copyright Experience, E. K. Ii
Attorney's Fees As An Element Of Costs: The Copyright Experience, E. K. Ii
Georgia Law Review
The amount of money frequently involved in copyright litigation, especially on the part of the defendant, is trifling. The expense of any litigation is considerable. Unless, therefore, some provision is made for financial protection to a litigant, if successful, it may not pay a party to defend rights, even if valid, a situation opposed to justice.... It is increasingly recognized that the person who forces another to engage counsel either to vindicate, or defend, a right should bear the expense of such engagement and not his successful opponent.
Procedural Problems Of Class Suits, Joseph J. Simeone
Procedural Problems Of Class Suits, Joseph J. Simeone
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this article is to discuss numerous aspects of the class device, to discuss the many procedural problems confronting court and counsel, to determine the effectiveness of one type of class suit-the spurious-and in the conclusion, to propose legislation for a new rule independent of the rules regarding class actions, a remedy which would more effectively permit the dispatch of numerous claims arising from similar fact patterns.
Radiation Injuries And Statistics: The Need For A New Approach To Injury Litigation, Samuel D. Estep
Radiation Injuries And Statistics: The Need For A New Approach To Injury Litigation, Samuel D. Estep
Michigan Law Review
The emphasis given by the mass media of communication to some of the dramatic problems arising from the use of nuclear energy unfortunately has diverted attention from some of the matters about which something can be done by lawyers, administrators, and legislators without the necessity of complicated international negotiations between various parties to the "Cold War." The headlines leave the uninformed, and perhaps often also the informed, public with the impression that even for radiation injuries the important problems all deal with such questions as: (1) Will only a few or many millions of people survive an all-out nuclear war? …
Compulsory Joinder Of Parties In Civil Actions, John W. Reed
Compulsory Joinder Of Parties In Civil Actions, John W. Reed
Michigan Law Review
Compulsory joinder cases involving interests in land display one peculiar and important characteristic: there is almost never any need in the state courts to wrestle with the question of whether a person is indispensable as distinguished from necessary. One hastens to add that this attribute of land cases appears to have gone largely unnoticed, but it exists none the less. It arises out of the fact that in a suit involving real property it is never impossible for the court to obtain jurisdiction over all persons interested therein to an extent which will enable the court to adjudicate controversies over …
Corporations - Shareholders - Majority Liability For Improper Stock Redemption By Corporation And For Misrepresentations In Private Stock Purchases From Minority Holders, James M. Tobin
Michigan Law Review
In 1942 a seemingly innocuous suit was brought against the Axton-Fisher Tobacco Corporation to determine the propriety of the alteration of a stock redemption. In 1955 Judge Leahy of the Federal District Court for Delaware handed down an opinion on the damages and relief to be given in the case in what he hopefully termed was the final phase of this famous litigation. It is the purpose of this comment to appraise the basis of the recovery allowed by Judge Leahy. Two readily distinguishable problems will be treated: (1) the nature of relief from a stock redemption called by fiduciaries …
Injunctions In California, William Consiglia
Injunctions In California, William Consiglia
Student Theses
No maxim is more firmly rooted in English and American
jurisprudence than the one which, given a free translation,
decries that, "no wrong shall exist without a remedy."
In conformity with the spirit of this ancient maxim, when
the English Lord Chancellors of former times found the
common-law writs inadequate to redress particular
grievance, they invented an extraordinary remedy
to which they afterwards frequently resorted, but
cautiously, to meet the exigencies of such cases as
they arose, to prevent hardship and injustice. They
viewed such extraordinary forms of relief very much
as the medical profession does poisonous antidotes,
to be …
Limitation Of Actions-Effect Of Fraudulent Concealment
Limitation Of Actions-Effect Of Fraudulent Concealment
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sued in equity for a money judgment on defendant's promissory notes. Defendant had fraudulently represented that her husband's estate was liable on these notes, inducing plaintiff to sue the estate and thus delay for more than six years in starting suit against defendant. Plaintiff had sued defendant at law on the notes, defendant had pleaded the statute of limitations, and plaintiff had discontinued. Held, that plaintiff could recover a money judgment in equity, since the remedy at law was barred by the statute of limitations. Dodds v. McColgan (N. Y. App. Div., 1930) 241 N. Y. S. 584.
Constitutional Law-Methods Of Testing The Constitutionality Of Rate Status Involving Heavy Penalties
Constitutional Law-Methods Of Testing The Constitutionality Of Rate Status Involving Heavy Penalties
Michigan Law Review
Where a state statute prescribes maximum intrastate railroad rates and also attaches heavy penalties for violations of the statute by a railroad or its agents, and where a railroad thinks the rates are confiscatory and hence unconstitutional, it is faced with an apparent dilemma. Must it either submit to the supposed confiscatory rates or else run the chance of incurring heavy penalties in case the statute is held constitutional? Or, is there another alternative-a painless way of testing the validity of the rates?
Injunction As Remedy For Unlawful Taxation
Injunction As Remedy For Unlawful Taxation
Michigan Law Review
Whether or not a court of equity should issue an injunction restraining the assessment or collection of an illegal or wrongful tax is a question concerning which there is little harmony among the cases and writers. 4 POMEROY, EQUITY JURISPRUDENCE, ed. 4, §1781; HIGH, lNJUNCTIONS, ed. 3, §484, p. 363; 37 HARV. L. REV. 255.
Resale Price Fixing From A Different Angle
Resale Price Fixing From A Different Angle
Michigan Law Review
The proposition that resale price fixing agreements are illegal, while by no means universally accepted, is definitely established in the federal courts as well as in quite a number of the state courts. Whatever we may think of its soundness from an economic viewpoint it will doubtless receive even wider recognition as time goes on. For a collection and discussion of the authorities see 20 MICH. L. REV. 904; 19 MICH. L. REV. 265; 19 A. L. R. 925.
Anticipatory Breach And The Enforcement Of Contractual Duties, Henry Winthrop Ballantine
Anticipatory Breach And The Enforcement Of Contractual Duties, Henry Winthrop Ballantine
Michigan Law Review
The doctrine of anticipatory breach, announced in England in 1853 in the leading case of Hochster v. De La, Tour, presents some interesting questions of legal theory. While it has been almost universally accepted by the courts of this country, the principles upon which the doctrine rests have been seriously questioned and the courts have shown an unfortunate bewilderment and hesitation in its extension and application. Professor Williston, probably the leading American authority in the field of contracts, has for many years been a vigorous critic of this doctrine. He goes so far as to assert that the doctrine …
Liability Of Manufacturer To Remote Vender For Defective Automobile Wheel, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Liability Of Manufacturer To Remote Vender For Defective Automobile Wheel, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Articles
Plaintiff. in February, 19O9. purchased from the Utica Motor Car Company, a Cadillac six-passenger touring car, manufactured by the Cadillac Motor Car Company, of Michigan. The Utica company was a dealer in motor cars, and purchased to resell; it was the original vendee, and the plaintiff was the sub-vendee. The car was used very little until July 31, 1909, when the plaintiff, an experienced driver, while driving the car on a main public road in good condition, at a speed of 12 to 15 miles per hour, was severely and permanently injured by the right front wheel suddenly breaking down …

Boycott - Medical Association, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Articles
The opinion of McCardie, J., (without a jury), in Pratt v. British Medical Association (1919), I K. B. 244, (noted in the MICHIGAN LAW REVIEW, June, 1919, p. 704), brilliantly reviewing the English cases, merits a fuller statement of the facts and principles involved than was possible in a short note. The action was by Doctors Burke, Pratt, and Holmes, against the British Medical Association and four of its officers, for damages for conspiracy, slander and libel.
Recovery Of Money Paid Under Duress Of Legal Proceedings In Michigan, Edgar N. Durfee
Recovery Of Money Paid Under Duress Of Legal Proceedings In Michigan, Edgar N. Durfee
Articles
THE case of Welch v. Beeching, recently decided by the Supreme Court of Michigan, raises puzzling problems conconcerning the recovery of money paid under pressure of legal proceedings. It is the purpose of this paper to give that case a more adequate setting, in relation to the whole field of law to which it pertains, than was provided by the brief opinion of the court. We shall not attempt to exhaust the authorities, nor to present a rounded treatment of the whole subject touched upon.
