Redefining The "Cost Of Suit" Under Section Four Of The Clayton Act, Michigan Law Review
Redefining The "Cost Of Suit" Under Section Four Of The Clayton Act, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note explores the possible interpretations of the "cost of suit" provision and the policies which it implicates. It concludes that the Copper Liquor interpretation best advances the goals of the antitrust laws set forth by Congress and the courts. Part I examines the development of the present controversy among the circuits. Part II analyzes and refutes the arguments which have been set forth in support of the traditional rule. Part III explores the policy considerations which underlie private treble damage actions and concludes that the Copper Liquor interpretation of the "cost of suit" provision serves them better than does …

Using The Federal Tort Claims Act To Remedy Property Damage Following Customs Service Seizures, Richard F. Neidhardt
Using The Federal Tort Claims Act To Remedy Property Damage Following Customs Service Seizures, Richard F. Neidhardt
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Note explains the general application of the FTCA to tort claims asserted against the federal government. Part II demonstrates the inadequacy of current judicial arguments regarding the adjudication of detention-related property damage claims under section 2680(c). Part III presents the. policy considerations behind the FTCA and concludes that those considerations allow courts to interpret the Act to cover detention-related property damage claims.
Class Actions For Punitive Damages, Michigan Law Review
Class Actions For Punitive Damages, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that a Rule 23 class action offers the best way to manage multiple actions for punitive damages. It begins by examining the policy underlying punitive damages and the plaintiffs interest in recovering them. It then explains why a limited fund is created when courts deny punitive damage recovery as a matter of law or when punitive claims exceed defendant's assets. The Note contends that a Rule 23(b)(l)(B) class action provides the best means to manage this limited fund and reviews the circumstances in which a district court may properly certify a class action for punitive damages. It …
Controlling Jury Damage Awards In Private Antitrust Suits, Michigan Law Review
Controlling Jury Damage Awards In Private Antitrust Suits, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note takes the position that the courts should better control jury manipulation in private antitrust actions. Part One suggests that manipulation is likely in such actions, and argues that this manipulation off ends the legislative judgment reflected in the trebling provision without leading to more equitable results. Part Two presents two complementary proposals to control jury manipulation of treble damage awards. These proposals aim to induce the jury to return accurate awards based on the economic loss actually suffered by the plaintiff.
Section 14(E) Of The Williams Act And The Rule 10b-5 Comparisons, Mark J. Loewenstein
Section 14(E) Of The Williams Act And The Rule 10b-5 Comparisons, Mark J. Loewenstein
Publications
The passage of the Williams Act in 1968 added a set of provisions to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to govern tender offers. In this article, Professor Loewenstein examines the antifraud provision of the Williams Act, codified as section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the development of decisional law under it. After discussing the propriety of inferring a private cause of action from section 14(e), Professor Loewenstein argues that the judiciary's reliance on rule 10b-5 precedents to set the bounds of the 14(e) cause of action is unwarranted. He concludes: 1) that scienter should not …
A Proposal For Apportioning Damages In Fair Representation Suits, Kenneth B. Mcclain
A Proposal For Apportioning Damages In Fair Representation Suits, Kenneth B. Mcclain
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Apportionment of damages in fair representation suits represents one of the most unsettled issues in labor law today. Although the Supreme Court has attempted to establish a single "governing principle" for apportioning damages, lower courts have read this principle as authorizing two divergent standards for apportionments. Part I of this article traces the evolution from the Court's original standard presented in Vaca v. Sipes through two subsequent applications of that standard: the Czosek v. O'Mara standard, which interpreted Vaca as placing the bulk of damages on the employer, and Justice Stewart's standard taken from his concurrence in Hines v. Anchor …
Constitutional Torts, Christina B. Whitman
Constitutional Torts, Christina B. Whitman
Articles
In this Article, I analyze the significance of the overlap between state tort law remedies and remedies under section 1983. I conclude that the dissatisfaction with section 1983 cannot fairly be attributed to the fact that it has been read to provide a remedy that "supplements" state law. I argue that most of the anxiety over constitutional damage actions under section 1983 can be understood - and resolved - only by focusing on two other questions. The first of these concerns the appropriate reach of the Constitution. Ambivalence about section 1983 reflects, in part, a fear that the federal Constitution …

Mutuality Of Estoppel: A Question, Stephen Millman, David Gruber
Mutuality Of Estoppel: A Question, Stephen Millman, David Gruber
Michigan Law Review
A recent Note, "A Probabilistic Analysis of the Doctrine of Mutuality of Collateral Estoppel, " made excellent use of elementary probability theory to demonstrate the extent to which relaxation of the mutuality requirement will increase the damages suffered by a defendant subject to multiple suits in which there is common issue (or correspondingly, will decrease the total recovery of a plaintiff who has several suits litigating a common issue against different defendants). Although the author made a number of useful points concerning the case law and the arguments advanced by proponents on each side of the controversy, the central thesis …

Punitive Surcharges Against Disloyal Fiduciaries--Is Rothko Right?, Richard V. Wellman
Punitive Surcharges Against Disloyal Fiduciaries--Is Rothko Right?, Richard V. Wellman
Michigan Law Review
This Article criticizes the award of a penalty surcharge in the name of appreciation damages. Contrary to the statements in the Rothko opinions, neither precedent nor treatises offers clear support for the shocking awards made against Rothko's disloyal executors. Furthermore, even if appreciation damages were to be viewed, against the thesis here advanced, as an appropriate remedy for some kinds of fiduciary breach, the measure is inappropriate for cases which, like Rothko, involve hidden conflicts of interest. This is so because the threat of severe penalties in hidden-conflict cases adds unacceptable legal costs to honest administrations-costs that cannot be …

A Perspective On The Michigan Law Of Damages, John W. Reed
A Perspective On The Michigan Law Of Damages, John W. Reed
Book Chapters
So also the subject of damages. There are some general principles, but damages is not a coherent body of law. It is small wonder that no one is writing books about it and that law schools do not provide courses in it. The standard, most widely cited text is McCormick on Damages, yet that book was published in 1935. There is no more recent book of consequence bearing that title. Professor Dan Dobbs's 1973 volume entitled Remedies contains, as one part of the book, an excellent analysis of recent damages developments; but McCormick continues to be the benchmark. As a …
Developing "Tort" Standards For The Award Of Mental Distress Damages In Statutory Discrimination Actions, Harold J. Rennett
Developing "Tort" Standards For The Award Of Mental Distress Damages In Statutory Discrimination Actions, Harold J. Rennett
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The relation between tort remedies and discrimination has been examined extensively, yet there has been little consideration of this relationship with respect to appropriate evidentiary standards for the award of mental distress damages in discrimination cases. This article will consider such standards. After briefly tracing the history of mental distress award standards in discrimination cases, this article will critically examine present compensatory approaches in such cases and suggest an alternative philosophy more consonant with tort compensation principles.
Punitive Damages Under Section 102 Of The Labor-Management Reporting And Disclosure Act, S. Thomas Wienner
Punitive Damages Under Section 102 Of The Labor-Management Reporting And Disclosure Act, S. Thomas Wienner
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It is firmly established that in a suit brought under section 102, a union member may ordinarily recover compensatory damages for any injury proximately caused by a violation of Title I or section 609. The courts are divided, however, on the question of whether a plaintiff may be awarded punitive damages under section 102. This article will address that question by discussing the language and the legislative history of section 102, the conflicting decisions of the federal courts, and the relevant policy considerations.

Punitive Damages In Products Liability Litigation, David G. Owen
Punitive Damages In Products Liability Litigation, David G. Owen
Michigan Law Review
This article will first explore the doctrine of punitive damages and its compatibility with the theories of products liability. The functions of punitive damages and their applicability in the products liability context will then be examined, with particular consideration given to the three complicating factors raised by Judge Friendly in Roginsky. In the following section attention will focus on the various contexts in which manufacturer misconduct has arisen in the reported decisions and a number of unreported cases that have involved this issue. Finally, guidelines will be developed from these cases for determining the appropriateness of punitive damages awards …

Compensation For Pain: A Reappraisal In Light Of New Medical Evidence, Cornelius J. Peck
Compensation For Pain: A Reappraisal In Light Of New Medical Evidence, Cornelius J. Peck
Michigan Law Review
The theory that a primary causal link exists between the victim's pain and the tortfeasor's acts provides considerable appeal for the proposition that the wrongdoer should compensate for the victim's pain. However, recent investigations of the phenomenon of pain by disciplines of the health sciences have challenged the medical theory upon which recoveries for pain and suffering are based. The results of that work are of obvious interest to the legal profession, for the new view of pain suggests that the tortfeasor's acts bear only a tangential relationship to the pain that some victims experience. The results thus raise questions …

Admiralty--Torts--Recovery Permitted For Mental Suffering Of Surviving Spouse In Death Action Under General Maritime Law--In Re Sincere Navigation Corp., Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
A recent federal district court decision, In re Sincere Navigation Corp. allowed recovery for the emotional distress of the spouse and the children of a seaman killed in a collision on the Mississippi River ·within the territorial waters of Louisiana. The action for ·wrongful death was brought under general maritime law through a new federal remedy first announced in Moragne v. States Marine Lines, lnc. Moragne did not specifically enumerate the elements of damage for which recovery would be allowed; instead it left the question open for consideration in later decisions. Whether any recovery was permitted under general maritime law …

Manageability Of Notice And Damage Calculation In Consumer Class Actions, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review

The focus will be on the manageability problems of providing the requisite notice and of devising a method of calculation and distribution of damages.
Measuring Damages In Survival Actions For Tortious Death , Michael M. Martin
Measuring Damages In Survival Actions For Tortious Death , Michael M. Martin
Faculty Scholarship
Survival statutes have been adopted to avoid the effect of common law rules preventing claims for the tortious death of a human being. These statutes give the personal representative such causes of action on behalf of the decedent's estate as the decedent would have had were he still alive. The question the statutes do not answer, however, is the effect of the death of a party on the measure of damages. The Washington Supreme Court's decision in Warner v. McCaughan illustrates the problem. Warner arose out of the death of a twenty-one year old college student. Alleging that the death …

Michigan Law Review
Several lower federal courts have recently been faced with this issue and have reached conflicting results in their attempts to resolve it.
