Negligence - Proximate Cause - When Condition Created By Prior Of Successive Negligent Acts May Be The Proximate Cause, Benjamin G. Cox
Negligence - Proximate Cause - When Condition Created By Prior Of Successive Negligent Acts May Be The Proximate Cause, Benjamin G. Cox
Michigan Law Review
A railroad's employee negligently allowed plaintiff's intestate to board the wrong train and then put her off at an intermediate station to await the proper train. Coming from the waiting room later, preparatory to boarding the right train, intestate fell on the waiting room steps and suffered fatal injuries. Plaintiff sued the railroad. Held, that the employee's negligence was the proximate cause of intestate's injuries and that the employer railroad is liable. Louisville & N. R.R. v. Maddox, 236 Ala. 594, 183 So. 849 (1938).

Negligence - Duty To Discover Continuous Trespasser Or Bare Licensee On Railroad's Right Of Way, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff alleged that while he was carefully crossing defendant's right of way, on a clearly defined and well worn footpath, he was struck by defendant's engine, which was backing toward the footpath in a "stealthy manner"; that defendant's servants failed to give warning as they were accustomed to do, or keep a lookout; that the footpath had been habitually used in crossing defendant's right of way for many years, that such crossing had been constant, open, and notorious as defendant knew; and that defendant had never objected to this use. Defendant demurred. Held, demurrer sustained on the ground that …

Automobiles - Guest Statutes - What Constitutes A Guest - Sharing Expenses On A Pleasure Trip, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sued to recover for personal injuries sustained when riding with defendants in the latters' automobile. The parties were on a few days' pleasure trip. It was apparently the tacit and mutual understanding that the expenses of transportation, hotels, etc., would be shared equally. Held, plaintiff was a guest within the meaning of the guest statute, and thus had no right of recovery against the driver or owner for injury resulting from the negligence of the driver. McCann v. Hoffman, (Cal. 1937) 70 P. (2d) 909.

Negligence - The Determination Of Existence Of Gross Negligence Making Automobile Host Liable To Non-Paying Guest, Jack L. White
Negligence - The Determination Of Existence Of Gross Negligence Making Automobile Host Liable To Non-Paying Guest, Jack L. White
Michigan Law Review
Under common-law principles a majority of courts require the motorist, who voluntarily undertakes to carry another gratuitously, to exercise the ordinary care of a reasonably prudent man in the management and operation of his automobile. The minority rule, by analogy to the gratuitous bailment cases, requires a person who invites another to ride gratis to use only slight diligence to avoid injury to that person and holds him liable for gross negligence. The minority view undoubtedly appeals to those who feel that it is unsportsmanlike to sue one's benefactor, and yet it is doubtful whether such a purely emotional foundation …

Negligence - Guest Statutes - Proximate Cause, Erwin S. Simon
Michigan Law Review
The deceased was fatally injured while riding as a guest in defendant's truck. In the course of the action for damages brought by the administratrix, the court instructed that "if you find from a preponderance of the evidence that the driver of the truck was guilty of willful and wanton misconduct . . . and that as a consequence thereof the accident occurred, and further, that such conduct contributed to the death of plaintiff's intestate," then the jury should find for the plaintiff. Verdict was for the plaintiff and defendant appealed. Held, that the instruction was erroneous because it …
Negligence - Res Ipsa Loquitur - Application To Carriers, Michigan Law Review
Negligence - Res Ipsa Loquitur - Application To Carriers, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff was injured while riding on defendant's bus when it was struck by defendant's street car, the collision being caused by the derailment of the street car. It was not made clear on trial what was responsible for the derailment. Held, the defendant controlled both vehicles, the event was of a type which would not ordinarily occur if reasonable care were used, the injury to plaintiff was not due to any voluntary act on her part, so the jury could properly infer that the defendant was negligent under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. Birdsall v. Duluth-Superior Transit …

Nuisance Contributory Negligence As Defense, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought action against the county for injuries sustained when his truck fell into an unlighted and unguarded excavation made by the county in the center of the highway for the purpose of repairing a culvert. Held, that defendant's act, though required by statute, was done in such a manner as to constitute active wrongdoing and a public nuisance, to which a plea of contributory negligence is no defense. Hammond v. Monmouth County, (N. J. S. Ct. 1936) 186 A. 452.

Automobiles - Statutory Liability Of Owner - Registered Titleholder Estopped To Deny Ownership, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, injured in New York by an automobile driven by defendant's minor son, sued under a New York statute which makes the owner of an automobile liable for damages for injuries resulting from negligence of its operator. The automobile was registered in Connecticut in defendant's name to avoid compliance with the Connecticut statute which requires proof of financial responsibility as a prerequisite of registration for minors over sixteen years of age. Held, defendant estopped to prove ownership of the automobile in his son. Shuba v. Greendonner, 271 N. Y. 189, 2 N. E. (2d) 536 (1936), reversing 245 …
Ownership Of Automobile As Prima Facie Evidence Of Responsibility For Negligence Of Person Operating It, Conly Purcell
Ownership Of Automobile As Prima Facie Evidence Of Responsibility For Negligence Of Person Operating It, Conly Purcell
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Generally speaking, absent statutory change, an owner of an automobile is responsible for injuries resulting from its negligent operation by another, only if it is shown that, at the time of the injury, the relationship of principal and agent or master and servant existed between the owner and the operator, and that the operator was then acting in the scope of his employment. Ordinary human experience and knowledge show clearly that in the great majority of cases automobiles are operated by their owners or by some servant or agent on the owner's business. It is equally apparent that in the …

Torts - Principal And Agent - Liability For Negligent Driving
Michigan Law Review
Defendant company's salesman, driving his own car while selling defendant's washing-machines on a commission basis over a large territory, and with no regulation by the defendant except as to the terms of the contracts the salesman might make, negligently collided with plaintiff's car. Held, a salesman driving his own car, with no more supervision than existed here, is an independent contractor for whose negligence his employer is not liable. Stockwell v. Morris, (Wyo. 1933) 22 Pac. (2d) 189.

Torts - Imputed Negligence - Passenger In Private Carrier For Hire
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff hired Hilton, a private carrier, to drive her from Detroit to Ann Arbor. Hilton's car collided with a car driven by the defendant, both Hilton and the defendant being negligent. Held, that the plaintiff could recover, as the negligence of a private carrier for hire will not be imputed to a passenger riding in his conveyance. Three judges dissented; the four concurring judges refused to join Justice McDonald in his opinion expressly overruling the whole doctrine of Thorogood v. Bryan. Lachow v. Kimmich, 263 Mich. 1, 248 N. W. 531 (1933).

The plaintiff was a guest of the defendant in the latter's automobile during a night trip. With the knowledge and consent of the defendant the plaintiff went to sleep. While he was sleeping the defendant negligently wrecked the car and plaintiff was injured. Held, that the question as to whether or not such conduct constituted contributory negligence was one of fact for the jury. Nelson v. Nygren, (N. Y. 1932) 181 N. E. 52.
Torts - Recklessness - Liability Of Driver Under "Host-Guest" Statute
Torts - Recklessness - Liability Of Driver Under "Host-Guest" Statute
Michigan Law Review
Iowa Code, 1927, sec. 5026-b1, provides that no automobile owner or operator shall be liable for injuries received by a gratuitous occupant therein, except those caused by the driver's intoxication or reckless operation. Defendant, a rather inexperienced driver, became excited upon coming to a hill and pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, causing an accident which injured plaintiff, a gratuitous passenger in the car. The jury found that defendant had been driving recklessly. In reversing for error in instruction, the court held that recklessness may or may not include wilfulness or wantonness, but always implies no care, coupled with …
Negligence - Contribution Between Concurrent Tort Feasors - Subrogation
Negligence - Contribution Between Concurrent Tort Feasors - Subrogation
Michigan Law Review
A truck owner parked his truck on a public street at night knowing that the rear light was not burning. A Minnesota statute made it illegal to park a car at night without a light. The defendant negligently ran into the truck, whereby one of his companions was injured. The plaintiff, as insurer of the truck owner, paid for the injury, becoming subrogated to any right of contribution which the truck owner might have against the defendant. Held, that if the truck driver were guilty of negligence only, recovery could be had, but where there is an intentional wrong …

Carriers-Liability For Loss Of Goods-Connecting Carriers In Foreign Commerce
Michigan Law Review
A box of furs, shipped from London, England, to New York City, U. S. A., over the line of the defendant navigation company, was delivered to the defendant trucking company at the order of the United States because the duties had not been paid. The trucking company delivered it to the defendant warehouse where it remained a week before being moved by the same trucking company to the United States Appraisal Stores. Here it was discovered that some of the furs had been stolen from the box. Held, the defendant navigation company was not liable as initial carrier under …
Constitutional Law-Action For Personal Injury As Property
Constitutional Law-Action For Personal Injury As Property
Michigan Law Review
In an action for personal injury to the plaintiff while a guest in defendant's car, the trial court instructed the jury that plaintiff must prove the elements required by the Guest Act, i.e., a heedless and reckless disregard of the rights of others, and not merely the common law requirements for negligence. The Guest Act (Pub, Acts, 1927, c. 308) was void for failure of the governor to sign in the prescribed time. Validating acts were passed after the accident in question. Held, action for personal injury was a property interest and the validating acts, operating retrospectively, impaired plaintiff's …

The defendant railroad company held a lease for a right of way to and from the complainant's flour mill. In violation of their lease, and over the protest of the plaintiff, a side track was run from the branch track of the complainant to the track of the Litchfield Dairy Association and later extended to the plant of the defendant association, a competitor of the complainant. Held, the complainant was entitled to a decree restraining the defendants from moving cars for the defendant association over the complainant's side track. Affirmed. Stock and Sons v. Litchfield Coop. Shipper's Ass'n. et …

Vicarious Liability And The Family Automobile, Norman D. Lattin
Vicarious Liability And The Family Automobile, Norman D. Lattin
Michigan Law Review
The advent of the automobile into the family life of the present age brought with it a doctrine which has been the troublesome source of much comment in the adjudicated cases and legal literature generally. Were it not for the fact that the battle still wages with much intensity, with very little outward evidence of abatement, it would be presumptuous to add to the already voluminous supply of legal material concerning the law of the family automobile, commonly termed the "family purpose" or "family car" doctrine. If further justification were needed, the problems arising from air navigation, which threatens to …
