A Perspective On The Michigan Law Of Damages, John W. Reed Jan 1978

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 …

Punitive Damages Under Section 102 Of The Labor-Management Reporting And Disclosure Act, S. Thomas Wienner Apr 1977

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 Jun 1976

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 …

Punitive Damages In Wrongful Death, Gary N. Holthus Jan 1971

Punitive Damages In Wrongful Death, Gary N. Holthus

Cleveland State Law Review

Punitive damages, also known as exemplary damages, smart money, or vindictive damages, are damages awarded to a plaintiff on a finding of malicious, fraudulent, willful, wanton, or reckless conduct by a defendant, indifferent to the rights and safety of others. The purpose of exemplary damages is to protect the public from reckless, willful acts and to punish the wrongdoer

Damages For Injury To Feelings In Malicious Prosecution And Abuse Of Process, A. M. Witte Jan 1966

Damages For Injury To Feelings In Malicious Prosecution And Abuse Of Process, A. M. Witte

Cleveland State Law Review

The burden of this paper is the extent to which a plaintiff in a malicious prosecution action will be permitted to recover damages for the injury he has suffered to his feelings. Simply stated, there is no serious legal question presented by this broad topic. In a malicious prosecution action based on criminal proceedings the plaintiff may recover damages for his mental suffering (and for the harm to his reputation) and the great majority of jurisdictions permit these damages to be recovered without special pleading or proof-i.e., these elements are considered to be general damages.

Punitive Damages: Punishment Of An Insured Defendant?, Carroway V. Johnson, Kenneth Lasson Oct 1965

Punitive Damages: Punishment Of An Insured Defendant?, Carroway V. Johnson, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

The plaintiff sued the defendant for injuries sustained in an automobile collision and was awarded a judgment in the amount of $5,000 actual damages and $1,500 punitive damages. The defendant's insurance company had refused to defend her in that action or to pay the judgment obtained, relying upon an employee exclusion clause in the policy. The plaintiff thereupon sued the defendant on the judgment, this time joining the insurer as a co-defendant, and won a verdict to recover against the insurer the aforesaid amount. The insurance company appealed, questioning its liability for punitive damages.

Torts--1959 Tennessee Survey, Dix W. Noel Oct 1959

Torts--1959 Tennessee Survey, Dix W. Noel

Vanderbilt Law Review

As usual, a considerable number of cases involving tort law were decided during the survey period. One of the decisions involves a point of first impression in this state, the matter of whether an unborn child comes within the scope of the wrongful death statute. A number of the decisions serve to clarify existing rules, or to carry these rules a step further in applying them to new situations. There were also some significant statutory developments, including the changes in the Railroad Precautions Act.
