The Constitution And Preclusion/Res Judicata, Allan D. Vestal
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 …
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 …
Compulsory Joinder Of Parties In Civil Actions, John W. Reed
Compulsory Joinder Of Parties In Civil Actions, John W. Reed
Articles
The plaintiff in a civil cause ordinarily is permitted to select the persons with whom he will litigate. The initial designation of parties to an action is made by the plaintiff, and if he chooses to sue B and not A,' that is ordinarily of no concern to B or to A or to the court. So also where the plaintiff without A as co-plaintiff sues B. Not always, however, is the plaintiff permitted unfettered choice in naming the parties to his lawsuit. On the one hand there are persons whose relationship to the situation in litigation is outside the …
Pre-Trial In The Courts: An Opinion, Aaron Jacobson
Pre-Trial In The Courts: An Opinion, Aaron Jacobson
Cleveland State Law Review
No claim is made, it is true, that pre-trial is the panacea for what ail the courts. But in adopting it, there seems to have been a haste which has bypassed the usual introspective examination characteristic of our judiciary. A critical examination, as seen by this writer, would take the form of two broad questions: One- Is pre-trial, viewed in the overall perspective of the administration of justice, a healthy additive to the courts? Two- If so, is it an end in itself, or is it simply one of a number of modernizing influences, without all of which it remains …

Michigan Law Review
In a suit for accounting, petitioners were denied relief in the district court and a division of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed by a two-to-one vote. Petitioners then applied for a rehearing before the court of appeals en bane. With one dissent, the rehearing was denied by the division, and the request that the rehearing be en bane was stricken as "being without authority in law or in the rules or practice of the court.'' Petitioners moved to vacate the order denying the request for a rehearing en bane on the ground that such a request …

Flegenheimer sued Manitoba Sugar Co., a Canadian Corporation, in a Vermont state court for breach of an employment contract to gain jurisdiction, Flegenheimer attached parcels of beet pulp which he claimed were the property of the Manitoba Co. After this action was removed to the federal district court, General Mills, Inc., was granted leave to intervene to establish ownership of the beet pulp. The claim of General Mills was dismissed after being heard on the merits. The order dismissing the claim contained a determination that "no just reason for delay" existed, and it therefore directed an "entry of judgment" under …

In an action on an express contrast, plaintiff sued for $1750, representing the agreed 5 per cent commission on the sale of real estate.

Plaintiff suffered injuries by stepping into a hole on the sidewalk of defendant city. After a jury had been impaneled and sworn in the trial of the cause, the court, without the request of either litigant and over their objections, suggested to the jurors that they might take notes on the evidence presented, furnishing them with the necessary materials and instructing them as to how they should be kept during the progress of the trial. The trial court awarded judgment for defendant. The court of appeals, however, reversed the decision of the lower court and granted a new trial, holding …
The Scope Of A Civil Action, William Wirt Blume
The Scope Of A Civil Action, William Wirt Blume
Michigan Law Review
In the last fifty years the rules which deal with what Professor Millar happily has called "The Compass of the Cause" have shown "conspicuous advance." This advance is clearly reflected in the Rules of Civil Procedure of the District Courts of the United States, effective in 1938. It is the purpose of this paper, first, to present a complete analysis of the concept: scope of a civil action; second, to show the weaknesses of the codes in dealing with this concept; and, third, to indicate to what extent these, weaknesses have been remedied by the new …

Damages - Injunction Bond - Attorney's Fees As Damages, Harold P. Graves, Raymond H. Rapaport
Michigan Law Review
Frequently, when a litigant seeks to establish rights with respect to particular property, it is possible for the opposing party so to act with respect to the property involved, while litigation is pending, as to deprive the plaintiff of the substantial benefit of his remedy should he prevail. Consequently, on prima facie showing of right, courts of equity will grant a temporary injunction to "freeze" the situation until the rights of the parties are finally determined. Since the temporary injunction is issued without a final determination of the rights of the parties, the enjoined party is deprived of dominion over …

Costs - Assessment Of Court Costs Against An Agency Of The Federal Government, Walter Muller
Michigan Law Review
A complaint against defendant, filed in equity by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, was dismissed without costs, the lower federal court being of opinion that it had no power to impose costs upon a governmental agency. The rule of court which bears on this point says, "costs against the United States, its officers, and agencies shall be imposed only to the extent permitted by law." Held, on appeal to the circuit court of appeals, the district court did have power to assess costs against the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Reconstruction Finance Corp. v. J. G. Menihan Corp., (C. C. A. …
