Common Sense And Article 9: A Uniform Approach To Automobile Repossession, Darryll K. Jones Jan 1988

Common Sense And Article 9: A Uniform Approach To Automobile Repossession, Darryll K. Jones

Journal Publications

Clients who seek legal assistance earlier in the repossession process preserve their options, which may include preventing the repossession altogether, allowing the client an opportunity to reclaim the vehicle after repossession, or limiting the client's liability to the loss of the vehicle itself. Many of the actions considered by the attorney will be based on the provisions in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C. or the Code). This article begins with a discussion of steps that may be taken to eliminate the need to resort to the U.C.C. Because these steps will not always be successful, the article …

Bleeding Hearts And Peeling Floors: Compensation For Economic Loss At The House Of Lords, David S. Cohen Jan 1984

Bleeding Hearts And Peeling Floors: Compensation For Economic Loss At The House Of Lords, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The decision of the House of Lords in Junior Books Ltd. v. Veitchi Ltd. represents an unwarranted development in the law of tort and contract, unless its rationale and limitations are fully appreciated. This reform in such an important area is premature "in the absence of hard data on the probable impact of such an extension of liability.” Much of the published commentary on recovery of economic loss in tort, and on this decision in particular, has been written from the ex post perspective of accident compensation doctrine and theory. Most writers have been concerned with the development of positive …


The Relationship Of Contractual Remedies To Political And Social Status: A Preliminary Inquiry, David S. Cohen Jan 1982

The Relationship Of Contractual Remedies To Political And Social Status: A Preliminary Inquiry, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This paper has, then, two major themes. In the first part I hope to elucidate the relationship of political, legal, and social status associated with land ownership to the unique legal remedies - specific performance and non-recovery of damages - which society created in respect to exchanges of land (and thus exchanges of status) for money. In the conclusion I examine the transformation of legal rules applied to agreements in which labour is exchanged for money. If, in fact, property rules in contract evolved in response to the political, legal, and social attributes of land ownership, then one may be …

The 'Right' To Break A Contract, Willard T. Barbour Jan 1917

The 'Right' To Break A Contract, Willard T. Barbour

Articles

It is common knowledge that the fully developed common law affords no means to compel the performance of a contract according to its terms. Does it follow from this that there is no legal obligation to perform a contract, or if obligation there be, that it is alternative: to perform or pay damages? A note in the XIV MICH. L. REV. 480 appears to give an affirmative answer to this question and at least one court (Frye v. Hubbell, 74 N. H. 358, at p. 374) has taken the same view. Probably the most forcible exposition of this position is …

Effect Of A Change In The Law Upon Rights Of Actions And Defences, Thomas M. Cooley Dec 1876

Effect Of A Change In The Law Upon Rights Of Actions And Defences, Thomas M. Cooley

Articles

A very interesting and important question frequently is, what effect has been produced upon a right of action, or upon a previously existing defence to an action, by a change in the law effected by statute after the right has accrued, or the cause of action has arisen, to which the defence was applicable. The question is encountered in a great variety of cases, and is sufficiently important to be considered under the several heads where the cases seem to range themselves. This is done imperfectly below.
