Recording - Preservation Of Priority By Recording Within Statutory Period

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued to foreclose a motor vehicle lien filed under the provisions of sections 8524-8528, Mason's Minn. Stat. (1927). Intervener interposed a claim as bona fide purchaser of the automobile before the lien was recorded. Plaintiff did record within the sixty day period fixed by the statute for that purpose.

Duty Of A Landlord To Third Persons Outside The Premises, Orville K. Algyer Dec 1934

Duty Of A Landlord To Third Persons Outside The Premises, Orville K. Algyer

Washington Law Review

The recent case of Munger v. Unon Savings & Loan Assn., presents a phase of the rather interesting question, under what factual circumstances will the courts find that the landlord after having leased his premises will continue to be held responsible for the general duties of an occupant in relation to third persons who are injured outside the premises, at a place where such persons have a right to be, by a defective condition or nuisance existing on the premises demised. In tbis case D, occupying a four-story building adjoining a public street, rented the third and fourth floors of …

She and her parents joined as plaintiffs in this suit, alleging that the defendant was negligent in failing to keep the ground around the swing in a reasonably safe condition and free from dangerous objects upon which a child might fall.

The Vendee's Lien- On Land And Chattels Nov 1934

The Vendee's Lien- On Land And Chattels

Michigan Law Review

The vendee's lien is now firmly established as an equitable device to insure full restitution to the purchaser of land on his rescission for the vendor's fraud or default. It first appeared in a dictum in an early English case where it was suggested as a possible analogy to the implied vendor's lien for the purchase money. But it was 1855 before the question was presented squarely to an English court of record, and 1860 when the House of Lords definitely approved it. Long before this, however, courts of equity in the United States had begun to μse this device …

Trusts - Change Of Circumstances As Basis For Variation Of Trust Instrument

Michigan Law Review

The testator left his estate to trustees with directions to pay the income to his widow and three sons in equal shares, the principal to vest in the sons upon his widow's marriage or death. The widow in addition was given the use of the family homestead or the use of a new home not to exceed the price of $25,000. The homestead, valued at $200,000, became undesirable for residential purposes due to the growth of the business center of the city. The widow petitioned the court to direct the trustees to pay her $15,000 a year from the trust …

Priority Between Morgagee And Creditor Of Mortgagor In An Unrecorded Chattle Mortgage, Gordon H. Sweany Jun 1934

Priority Between Morgagee And Creditor Of Mortgagor In An Unrecorded Chattle Mortgage, Gordon H. Sweany

Washington Law Review

The interpretation of this statute by the Washington Supreme Court has not always been uniform or certain. In determining the priority of the respective claims of a mortgagee under a defective mortgage and of a creditor of the mortgagor, several questions may be raised which can not be answered with certainty as the law stands today.

Stare Decisis -The Retroactive Effect Of An Overruling Decision May 1934

Stare Decisis -The Retroactive Effect Of An Overruling Decision

Michigan Law Review

In 1923 the Supreme Court of Michigan ruled, in Kavanaugh v. Rabior, that property lying between the meander line and the waterline of the Great Lakes belonged to the State. The defendant, after this decision and upon the advice of the State Conservation Department, refused to pay rent to the plaintiff, the littoral proprietor. In 1930 the court, overruling the Kavanaugh case, held, in Hilt v. Weber, that such property belonged to the littoral proprietor. On the basis of this decision the plaintiff brought suit for use and occupation. Held, in the principal case, that the overruling …


Contracts - Consideration - Agreement To Reduce Rent Reserved In Lease May 1934

Contracts - Consideration - Agreement To Reduce Rent Reserved In Lease

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued defendants, who were trustees of a business trust, to enforce personal liability upon them for accrued rent due under a lease. When the lessee company, which was losing money because of the depression, threatened to vacate the premises, the plaintiff acquiesced in the lessee's demand that the rent be reduced for the balance of the term. Plaintiff sought to recover the amount due under the lease, claiming that the agreement for reduction was without consideration and therefore a nullity. Held, that in view of plaintiff's knowledge of the lessee's financial condition, the latter's agreeing to remain in …

Effect Upon A Lease Of A Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure, George V. Powell Apr 1934

Effect Upon A Lease Of A Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure, George V. Powell

Washington Law Review

This discussion will be confined to those jurisdictions adopting the lien theory of mortgages. Many of the questions involved are regulated wholly or partly by statute, so there will be no attempt to make a critical comparison of the rules in the various states. To determine what rule will be followed in any particular state, its statutes should be compared with those existing in the states in which decisions have been reported.

Landlord And Tenant - Liability Of A Mortgagee In Possession Of Mortgaged Leasehold For Rent Apr 1934

Landlord And Tenant - Liability Of A Mortgagee In Possession Of Mortgaged Leasehold For Rent

Michigan Law Review

On default of payments under a mortgage of a leasehold, the mortgagor and mortgagee agreed that the latter was to go into possession of the premises and manage them with a view to meeting the requirements of the mortgage. The mortgagor also executed a warranty deed of the premises to the mortgagee. On default of rent payments the landlord sued the mortgagee. Held, the defendant mortgagee was in possession merely as agent of the mortgagor and as such was not liable for the rent. Cleveland v. Detroit Trust Co., 264 Mich. 253, 249 N. W. 842 (1933).
