A Radical Restatement Of The Law Of Seller's Damages: Michigan Results Compared, Robert J. Harris
A Radical Restatement Of The Law Of Seller's Damages: Michigan Results Compared, Robert J. Harris
Michigan Law Review
Conventional doctrine does not address itself directly to the choice among valuation techniques, although the various parochial damage formulae give some clues. Underlying this series of articles is an assumption that the doctrine makes more sense when restated in valuation terms. These articles involve an effort to restate in such terms one sector of expectation damage law-the part that governs cases in which plaintiff is a "seller."
Advocating The Rights Of The Injured, Benjamin Marcus
Advocating The Rights Of The Injured, Benjamin Marcus
Michigan Law Review
When workmen's compensation was first introduced a half century ago, it was felt necessary to cushion the shock in a number of ways. One of these was the idea of a bargain, an exchange, in which the worker, to obtain the new remedy based on liability without fault, gave up his existing remedy, the right to a tort action against his employer for a negligent injury. It is time that the terms of that bargain be re-examined.
Longshoreman-Shipowner-Stevedore: The Circle Of Liability, Harney B. Stover, Jr.
Longshoreman-Shipowner-Stevedore: The Circle Of Liability, Harney B. Stover, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
It is universally recognized that in the past two decades the United States Supreme Court has substantially revised the law under which seamen, longshoremen and harbor workers (or their survivors) may recover damages for personal injury and death. One of the more recent and most authoritative texts in the field of admiralty and maritime law devotes an entire chapter, 147 pages in length, to the subject of the rights of seamen and maritime workers (or their survivors) of recovery for injury and death. The introduction to that chapter likens the Court's rewriting of the law in this field to a …
The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission: Its Functions And Jurisdiction, Edward D. Re
The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission: Its Functions And Jurisdiction, Edward D. Re
Michigan Law Review
Even the casual student of nationalizations and confiscations must be aware of the fact that whereas nationalizations were formerly isolated occurrences, they have today become matters of almost common practice. The Mexican expropriations, the Soviet nationalizations, and the Iranian nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company are in modern times merely landmarks of an apparently ever-widening path. A reading of the daily newspapers has offered adequate warning to the American investor abroad that no part of the world has been immune from this phenomenon. Whether under the label of "agrarian reform" or "socialization," these nationalizations are of the greatest importance, and, …
Federal Antitrust Law--Price Discrimination--Proof And Measurement Of Damages In Treble Damage Action, Richard A. Miller S.Ed.
Federal Antitrust Law--Price Discrimination--Proof And Measurement Of Damages In Treble Damage Action, Richard A. Miller S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Section 2(a) of the Robinson-Patman Act makes it unlawful for a seller to charge buyers who compete with each other different prices for commodities of like grade and quality. Price discrimination which violates this section operates to confer an unlawful benefit upon a favored buyer by making his costs of obtaining, using, or reselling the particular commodities involved lower than the similar costs of non-favored buyers and puts non-favored buyers at a competitive disadvantage to the extent that the difference in costs affects the ability of favored and non-favored buyers to compete with one another. If this wrongfully induced competitive …
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.
Civil Aeronautics Act-Discrimination-Private Cause Of Action For Punitive Damages, L. B. Hirsch
Civil Aeronautics Act-Discrimination-Private Cause Of Action For Punitive Damages, L. B. Hirsch
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff held a reconfirmed tourist reservation on one of defendant's St. Louis-to-Los Angeles flights. Defendant oversold the flight and subsequently "bumped" the plaintiff from the flight in favor of a first-class passenger who was given plaintiff's accommodations in the tourist section. Defendant's agent booked a reservation for the plaintiff aboard another airline and provided plaintiff with lunch. The only expense incurred by the plaintiff as a result of being removed from defendant's flight was the cost of a telephone call to inform his wife of his new arrival time; and plaintiff was inconvenienced by a delay of four hours on …
Restitution--Quasi-Contract--Non-Conformance With State Building Contractors Licensing Statute As Basis For Denial Of Restitution, Stefan Tucker
Restitution--Quasi-Contract--Non-Conformance With State Building Contractors Licensing Statute As Basis For Denial Of Restitution, Stefan Tucker
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, owners of an apartment building containing stores and living units, contracted with plaintiff to replace the roof of the building. Pursuant to the contract plaintiff replaced the roof, and when defendants refused to pay for the work done, plaintiff sued in the alternative for damages on the contract or for restitution on an implied contract. Defendants moved for dismissal at pre-trial, contending that plaintiff was a residential alteration contractor and as such was required by state statute to have a license in order to bring an action for the collection of compensation. On appeal from pre-trial orders dismissing the …
Torts-Libel-Constitutionality Of Retraction Statute Eliminating General Damages Recovery, John W. Galanis
Torts-Libel-Constitutionality Of Retraction Statute Eliminating General Damages Recovery, John W. Galanis
Michigan Law Review
Following publication of allegedly libelous statements made by defendants during a televised news broadcast, plaintiff commenced an action to recover damages. Defendants' motion to strike the allegations of general and punitive damages was granted by the trial court since the complaint did not allege that defendants intended to defame plaintiff, or that defendants refused to publish a requested retraction of a non-intentional libel, both of which are conditions precedent to recovery of such damages under the Oregon statute. Plaintiff failed to plead further and judgment was entered for defendants. On appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court, held, affirmed. The …
The Casual Relation Issue In Negligence Law, Leon Green
The Casual Relation Issue In Negligence Law, Leon Green
Michigan Law Review
Two significant legal studies of "Causation"-one English, one American-have been recently published. The English book brings to the subject more scholarly learning and a more comprehensive examination of its literature than any other book that has been written. The authors are devoted disciples of causation principles and make a stout defense of the causation concept as the structural core of negligence law. They examine the philosophical, common sense and semantic backgrounds of causal concepts as the basis of legal liability, find that they have merit, and launch extended, and sometimes devastating, attack upon theories that question their adequacy, though in …
A General Theory For Measuring Seller's Damages For Total Breach Of Contract, Robert J. Harris
A General Theory For Measuring Seller's Damages For Total Breach Of Contract, Robert J. Harris
Michigan Law Review
This article is concerned with the legal rules which should govern the process of valuing what plaintiff saved by exercising his power to stop further performance upon notice of defendant's serious breach. Where plaintiff is a "buyer" (whether he buys land, services, personality, or the temporary use of some kind of property), and he was to pay the price in dollars, few difficulties arise in valuing his saved performance. But if he was a "seller" of any of those commodities, valuation is hard. Thus our inquiry is chiefly concerned with cases in which plaintiff is a "seller," not a "buyer."
Damages-Pain And Suffering-Use Of A Mathematical Formula, Thomas D. Heekin S .Ed.
Damages-Pain And Suffering-Use Of A Mathematical Formula, Thomas D. Heekin S .Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Measurement of damages for pain and suffering is, in a sense, an attempt to measure the unmeasurable; yet as long as our law recognizes a right to recover for pain and suffering, the jury or judge must arrive at some concrete figure. The traditional approach of simply instructing the jury that they should arrive at a reasonable amount provides little, if any, guidance. The question is whether this approach, nevertheless, remains the best of a bad lot of alternatives. If more guidance is desirable, what can be accomplished within the framework of our present system? The mathematical formula discussed in …
Insurance Law - Recovery - Action For Wrongful Refusal To Settle Claim Precluded By Bankruptcy Of Insured, James A. Mcdermott
Insurance Law - Recovery - Action For Wrongful Refusal To Settle Claim Precluded By Bankruptcy Of Insured, James A. Mcdermott
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff, as trustee in bankruptcy of the insured, sued the defendant insurer to recover damages resulting from a judgment entered against the insured in a personal injury suit. This judgment subjected the insured to a liability of 89,000 dollars in excess of the 10,000 dollar automobile liability_ coverage carried with the insurer. The insurer, pursuant to its policy, had undertaken the insured's defense and had failed, allegedly in bad faith, to settle the suit for an amount within the limits of its coverage. Before judgment was entered in the personal injury suit the insured was insolvent; six months following …
Workermen's Compensation-Third-Party Actions-Employer's Recovery On An Implied Warranty, Philip Sotiroff
Workermen's Compensation-Third-Party Actions-Employer's Recovery On An Implied Warranty, Philip Sotiroff
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff seeks to recover the amount of a workmen's compensation award paid to his employee as a result of injuries received when an exhaust valve malfunctioned causing a press which the employee was operating to double-trip. Defendant, an independent parts supplier who had sold plaintiff the valve, moved to dismiss the complaint because of insufficiency of evidence to sustain the verdict and plaintiff's legal incapacity to sue. On appeal from an order denying the motion to dismiss, held, affirmed, one judge dissenting. Plaintiff has two independent causes of action, one against the manufacturer on an assigned negligence theory, and …
Constitutional Law - Eminent Domain - Extension Of Fifth Amendment "Taking" To Include Destruction Of Lien Right By The Doctrine Of Immunity Of Government Property From Attachment, Henry J. Price
Michigan Law Review
Upon default of the contracting shipbuilder, the United States acquired title to certain materials in accordance with a contract provision. Petitioners, who had previously acquired materialmen's liens on these materials, claimed that assertion of the doctrine of immunity of government property from attachment resulted in a "taking" of their liens in violation of the fifth amendment. This was rejected by the Court of Claims. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed, three Justices dissenting. Since the builder had title at the time the materials were furnished, the property was not a "public work" and thus the …

Federal Antitrust Law - Stockholders' Remedies For Corporate Injury Resulting From Antitrust Violations: Derivative Antitrust Suit And Fiduciary Duty Action, William Y. Webb S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The question of what remedies are available to a stockholder whose corporation has been injured or is threatened with injury by acts violative of the federal antitrust laws is largely unexplored. The staggering fines suffered by a number of corporations in the recent electrical industry criminal antitrust convictions demonstrate, however, that the question is both timely and important. Moreover, its answer could have a great impact both upon the means of protecting corporate minority rights and upon the means of private enforcement of the federal antitrust laws. The stockholders' derivative suit affords two remedies which deal with these two points …

As a result, two private hospitals terminated plaintiff's staff membership …

Sales - Implied Warranty - Privity Of Contract As A Prerequisite To Recovery From Manufacturer, John L. Peschel S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sustained injuries in the course of his employment when a defective abrasive wheel, while being used in its intended manner, exploded in his face. The abrasive wheel was purchased by plaintiff's employer directly from the manufacturer. Plaintiff sought recovery from the manufacturer on two grounds: negligence in the manufacture of the abrasive wheel and breach of implied warranty for fitness of purpose. The negligence issue was submitted to the jury, which returned a verdict adverse to the plaintiff. The manufacturer's demurrer to the cause of action based upon implied warranty was sustained by the trial court. On appeal from …
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? …

Creditors' Rights - Physicians' Liens On Patients' Tort Claim, Clayton R. Smalley
Creditors' Rights - Physicians' Liens On Patients' Tort Claim, Clayton R. Smalley
Michigan Law Review
A recent Illinois statute creates a lien in favor of licensed physicians for their reasonable charges for treating persons injured by the negligent or wrongful act of another. The lien attaches to all claims or causes of action of the injured person against the person causing the injury, whether settled by litigation or by settlement. The maximum amount recoverable under the lien is one-third of the sum paid or due to the injured party, and the lien is expressly made to survive his death. The physician must serve notice of his assertion of the lien on both the injured party …
Stockholder Votes Motivated By Adverse Interest: The Attack And The Defense, Earl Sneed
Stockholder Votes Motivated By Adverse Interest: The Attack And The Defense, Earl Sneed
Michigan Law Review
It is the purpose of this article to study stockholder votes motivated by adverse interest from the standpoint of the attack and the defense. First, the remedies available to the complaining minority are examined. Then follows a study of the indicia of adverse interest in specific shareholder actions. Knowledge of the nature and import of these indicia should enable the careful lawyer to avoid or defeat the charge that unconscionable adverse interest vitiated the result of a stockholder vote.

This comment will approach section 7 relief questions and solutions primarily in the light of du Pont's unique facts, which included a vertical stock acquisition made thirty years before the judicial proceeding plus the complicating factors of vast financial interests, numerous innocent investors and several corporate interrelationships. Thereby were posed complex problems regarding (1) parties to the relief determination, (2) interests to be affected by the decree and (3) the manner of affecting those interests.
