Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Property Law, Susan M. Pesner, Martin C. Conway
University of Richmond Law Review
The year 1997 proved to be exceptional in the relatively quiet area of property law. After a number of failed attempts, bills addressing the unauthorized practice of law were finally presented to the General Assembly and passed. Effective July 1, 1997, the Commonwealth of Virginia will regulate residential real estate settlements for the first time in its 390-year history.
Property And The First Amendment, Mark Cordes
Property And The First Amendment, Mark Cordes
University of Richmond Law Review
The last decade has seen an increased recognition of property rights in Supreme Court analysis. This is most evident in the area of takings law, where the Court has on at least four occasions expanded property rights relative to government regulation. Perhaps even more significant than the results themselves has been the Court's tone in these decisions, where it has emphasized that property rights are to be taken seriously and are not a "poor relation" to other constitutional safeguards. This has led some commentators to suggest that recognition of property rights is becoming a primary agenda item of the Court.

Euclid At Threescore Years And Ten: Is This The Twilight Of Environmental And Land-Use Regulation?, Michael Allan Wolf
University of Richmond Law Review
To the psalmist the age of seventy marks the end of one's days on earth, the last days so dimly lit in the poet's eyes. The calendar reminds us that 1996 marks the seventieth birthday of one of the most influential and enduring judicial decisions upholding the rights of communities to determine their demographic, economic, and societal future- Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co. Case reporters, code compilations, and proposed legislation, along with treatises and law review articles warn us that the broad deference to regulators symbolized by the Euclid text is under attack. The eighth decade of constitutionally …

Suburbs Under Siege: Race, Space And Audacious Judges, Abigail T. Baker
Suburbs Under Siege: Race, Space And Audacious Judges, Abigail T. Baker
University of Richmond Law Review
Across the United States, cities are witnessing a mass exodus into the suburbs with increasing frequency. The prestige that once attached to urbanites is now equated with these "new suburbanites." Claiming better schools, safer neighborhoods and overall peace of mind, the new suburbanites have been the pied-piper to thousands of other city dwellers. By and large, those that have been able to afford to move out of the cities are white, middle-class Americans.6 Local exclusionary zoning, by permitting only certain types of homes to be built in a specific area, has rendered the American dream-owning a home in suburbia-unattainable for …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Property Law, W. Wade Berryhill
University of Richmond Law Review
As legal years go, action on the 1996 legislative and judicial fronts was relatively quiet in the area of property law. The legislative activity which spawned most of the interest was bills addressing the definitional limits of the unauthorized practice of law in real estate closings. These bills were not enacted and have been carried over for the next legislative session.

Quantifying Liability Under The Architect's Standard Of Care, Murray H. Wright, David E. Boelzner
Quantifying Liability Under The Architect's Standard Of Care, Murray H. Wright, David E. Boelzner
University of Richmond Law Review
In recent years, architects and other design professionals have become the targets of claims arising from problems encountered in construction projects. In addition to incurring the costs of defending such claims, these design professionals (or their insurers) have often found themselves absorbing the liability for many "errors and omissions" that are difficult to defend when individually excerpted from a substantial project. This treatment of claims for defective design reflects a distortion of the architect's professional standard of care that is justified neither by the contractual liability assumed by the architect nor by the economic balance among the parties involved in …

Participatory Government And Communal Property: Two Radical Concepts In The Virginia Charter Of 1606, Finbarr Mccarthy
University of Richmond Law Review
On April 26, 1607, about one hundred English men landed on the Atlantic shore of North America near Jamestown, Virginia. There they established the foundation for what would become the first permanent English colony in America. These men, and the men and women who followed in the next decade, left as their legacy a society that combined a rudimentary form of popular government with a system of private property. But these settlers established that society only after conducting seventeen turbulent years of social experiments. Had those experiments conducted in that Virginia swamp turned out differently, we might now live under …

The Evolution Of Implied Warranties In Commercial Real Estate Leases, Paula C. Murray
The Evolution Of Implied Warranties In Commercial Real Estate Leases, Paula C. Murray
University of Richmond Law Review
Landlord-tenant law has undergone a major change since it was first developed in England in the Middle Ages. During feudal times, the lease was considered a conveyance of real property. The landlord transferred possession of the property and in return the tenant paid rent. The lease covenants existed independently of each other. Thus, if the landlord breached the lease, the tenant was not relieved of his obligation to pay rent. The landlord owed no obligation to the tenant other than the assurance of quiet enjoyment of the property. The tenant bore all the risk of the physical condition of the …

This article reviews some of the more significant cases and legislation affecting Virginia property law over the past year. The Virginia Supreme Court revisited a wide range of issues, including the level of visibility to which an adverse use must rise to establish title by adverse possession. The court also revisited the steps that a mechanic's lienor must take in order to protect his or her lien. Additionally, the court also explored some new issues, such as the applicability of the rule against perpetuities to a purchase option contained in a lease.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Property Law, L. Charles Long Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
While the Supreme Court of Virginia handed down decisions of significance dealing with the ownership and operation of real property in the Commonwealth during the past year, in most cases the court was content to apply well-settled law in new fact situations, or to extend the boundaries of such law gently into new territory. The General Assembly, for its part, spent most of its energy clarifying existing legislation or repairing portions of statutes which, either in operation or in prospect, needed relatively minor modifications. The foregoing statements are not intended to belittle the cases which were decided and the legislation …

Both the Virginia Supreme Court and the General Assembly addressed important issues affecting property law in Virginia over the past year. For instance, the Virginia Supreme Court considered for the first time the extent to which dominant estate owners could improve rights of way benefiting their property. The General Assembly has gone a long way toward vitiating the long held caveat emptor rule predominant in Virginia by adopting a residential sales disclosure statute. These and other important cases and statutes are discussed below.

Perfection And Enforcement Of A Mechanic's Lien In Virginia: A Defense Lawyer's Perspective, James L. Windsor
Perfection And Enforcement Of A Mechanic's Lien In Virginia: A Defense Lawyer's Perspective, James L. Windsor
University of Richmond Law Review
The right to a mechanic's lien in Virginia is statutorily created and the Supreme Court of Virginia requires strict adherence to these statutes. During mechanic's lien litigation, the validity of the underlying indebtedness to the claimant or the quality of the claimant's work often has little bearing on whether the lien is valid or enforceable. Rather, the question revolves around whether the claimant or his attorney substantially complied with the procedures mandated by the statutes as interpreted by the courts. These procedural or "technical" defenses are usually raised in the initial or preliminary stages of the litigation, long before any …

"The world abounds with laws, and teems with crimes," a statement made in 1775, applies with equal force today. No one escapes the specter of crime. An Arlington, Virginia woman, assaulted in her apartment, knows the toll crime takes. So does a woman falling victim to an attacker in a dark Norfolk, Virginia parking lot.

Liabilities Of The Innocent Current Owner Of Toxic Property Under Cercla, Diana L. Mcdavid
Liabilities Of The Innocent Current Owner Of Toxic Property Under Cercla, Diana L. Mcdavid
University of Richmond Law Review
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") was enacted to facilitate prompt cleanup of property contaminated by hazardous wastes. CERCLA seeks to accomplish its goal in part by placing the financial burden of cleanup on those parties who are responsible for the problem and who benefited from the hazardous waste activity. Because environmental cleanup is a national priority and the cost of cleaning up toxic waste sites is staggering, the scope of liability under CERCLA is broad. A clean environment is a laudable goal and compelling responsible parties to bear the cost of cleanup is fair, …

Environmental Liability In Real Property Transactions, Timothy G. Hayes, William J. Dinkin
Environmental Liability In Real Property Transactions, Timothy G. Hayes, William J. Dinkin
University of Richmond Law Review
In recent years, the scope of environmental liability has broadened considerably. Cleanup costs are no longer solely the concern of those directly engaged in the generation and disposal of hazardous wastes. Federal and state environmental statutes now create potential liability for parties to a variety of seemingly innocent transactions. Purchasers of contaminated property may be required to pay for hazardous waste cleanup. Corporate entities may also face environmental liability through mergers, consolidations and asset acquisitions. In addition, lenders may risk liability or impairment of collateral when contaminated property is used to secure a loan.

University of Richmond Law Review
Increased concern for the environment and environmental protection laws have affected title insurance. To understand this effect, it is necessary to examine our environmental problems, the environmental laws and the nature of title insurance. This article also looks at the title insurance industry's reaction to these environmental risks as compared to the reaction of the property/casualty insurance industry.
