A Re-Interpretation Of Gee V. Pritchard

Michigan Law Review

It has been said that the office and jurisdiction of equity unless enlarged by express statute are limited to the protection of rights of property. This doctrine, often repeated, has been so severely criticized and so strained in its application that one is inclined to doubt that it has appreciable vigor at the present time. Yet to borrow the phrase in which a learned writer disposed of another of equity's hoary errors, "though we may observe that the rule is dying, it is unfortunately not yet a corpse; and the difficulty is that no lawyer knows when it will be …

Intoxicating Liquors-Rights Of Innocent Owner Under Statutory Forfeiture Of Automobile

Michigan Law Review

One Harve Townsend pleaded guilty to the charge of transporting intoxicating liquor in an automobile. A statute in South Dakota provided that in such cases the automobile or other vehicle used for such transportation should be forfeited, and, "unless good cause is shown to the contrary by the owner," it should be sold by the sheriff of the county and the funds paid to the county treasurer after the deduction of all expenses. The appellant had a valid chattel mortgage on said automobile, and claimed that it had a prior right to the proceeds of the sale of said automobile …

Rights Of A Vendee Under An Executory Forfeitable Contract For The Purchase Of Real Estate: A Further Word On The Washington Law, Alfred J. Schweppe

Washington Law Review

Almost two years have passed since the six-three decision in Ashford v. Reese, holding that in this state an executory forfeitable contract for the sale of real estate creates no title, legal or equitable, in the vendee. Since that time a Department of the Court has once reaffirmed the doctrine, and the legislature has initiated, but not consummated, an attempt to change the rule. It is not the purpose of this brief article to reiterate what has heretofore been discussed both in the opinions of the Court and in these pages; but merely, for the sake of completeness, to refer …

Insurance-Effect Of Mortgage Foreclosure Clause

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, the mortgagee, applied for insurance on the mortgaged property in his own name and only consented to the policy being made in the name of the mortgagor with "loss-payable" rider in his favor upon representation of the insurance agent that it was the only form of policy the company used and would accomplish the same result. In the body of the policy there was a clause rendering the policy void upon foreclosure of the mortgage.

Protecting Real Estate Contract Purchases, Robert B. Porterfield

Washington Law Review

Many assignees of the vendors' interests in installment contracts for the sale of real estate suppose that the recording of the assignment protects them by giving constructive notice of their rights. The increasing amount of investment in real estate contracts makes it important to determine the best method for protecting the assignee. Our Supreme Court' has said that recording "is purely a creation of the statute", and since the recording of such assignments is not provided for by statute it would seem that no constructive notice follows from recording.

Trusts-When Agent May Purchase Or Lease For Himself

Michigan Law Review

A recent Michigan case has suggested the question: When and under what circumstances may an agent or other fiduciary purchase or lease property for himself, and when will he be decreed a trustee thereof? In this case A owned real estate in Detroit. P and his partners, subtenants, made an offer for a long term lease through D, who appears to have been a special agent with the sole duty of presenting the offer. It was rejected, finally and absolutely, without fraud or collusion on the part of D. Almost immediately D made an offer on his own behalf which …
