State Taxation Of Interstate Travel: Alternative Constitutional Limitations Jan 1970

State Taxation Of Interstate Travel: Alternative Constitutional Limitations

University of Richmond Law Review

In today's context of expanded human mobility, an individual's right to travel from, through, or to any of the United States without state restriction on or regulation of his admission or departure enjoys well-settled constitutional protection originating from two distinct sources. The interstate transportation of persons is governed by the commerce clause under which state power to regulate and tax the admission and departure of interstate passengers is restricted, but not entirely forbidden.

Some Comments On Burdell V. Canadian Pacific Airlines, Andreas F. Lowenfeld Jan 1969

Some Comments On Burdell V. Canadian Pacific Airlines, Andreas F. Lowenfeld

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Frank Burdell was the Far Eastern representative of an American heavy-equipment company, stationed in Singapore. At the end of February 1966, Burdell traveled to Tokyo on a Singapore-Bangkok-Hong Kong-Tokyo and return ticket, purchased in Singapore from Cathay Pacific but using Canadian Pacific Airlines for the Hong Kong--Tokyo portion of the journey. Canadian Pacific's flight 402 from Hong Kong to Tokyo on March 4, 1966, arrived over Tokyo in a fog, circled for about an hour, finally came in to land, and crashed into the rear wall at the end of the runway killing its crew of ten and all but …

Constitutional Law--Police Power--Michigan Statute Requiring Motorcyclists To Wear Protective Helmets Held Unconstitutional, Michigan Law Review Dec 1968

Constitutional Law--Police Power--Michigan Statute Requiring Motorcyclists To Wear Protective Helmets Held Unconstitutional, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The effects of the helmet decisions on the law in general may be substantial. On the one hand, if a helmet statute is held constitutional, inroads could be made upon personal liberty; the legislature might rely on similar strained and unproved relationships to the general welfare in order to justify regulations impinging upon other areas of individual conduct. On the other hand, to hold such a statute unconstitutional may require the judiciary to interfere unreasonably with the legislature's conception of public welfare. In light of these considerations, courts dealing with challenges to such regulations in the future should pay closer …


Transportation Strike Control Legislation: A Congressional Challenge, Arthur M. Wisehart Jun 1968

Transportation Strike Control Legislation: A Congressional Challenge, Arthur M. Wisehart

Michigan Law Review

The necessity of protecting the public interest in continuity of transportation services while at the same time preserving the institution of collective bargaining presents a serious dilemma which the statutory framework devised during the first third of this century now seems inadequate to resolve. Indeed, most crippling strikes have occurred after statutory mechanisms for dispute resolution have been exhausted. This Article will trace the history of transportation labor legislation, outline the shortcomings of present procedures for dispute resolution, evaluate various alternatives for statutory reform, and propose permanent corrective legislation which would avoid the necessity of submitting each dispute for congressional …

Liability Of A Carrier For Loss And Damage To Interstate Shipments, Thomas R. Skulina Jan 1968

Liability Of A Carrier For Loss And Damage To Interstate Shipments, Thomas R. Skulina

Cleveland State Law Review

The law governing the liability of a carrier for loss or damage to interstate shipments is set out in the Carmack Amendment. Prior to the enactment of this federal legislation, a body of law pertaining to this subject developed in the common law. The present law evolved from the earliest concepts of bailment relationship. The early statutes preserved many aspects of the common law. This article will refer to common law principles but will not focus on law as it was prior to the Carmack Amendment.

Defectively Designed Highways, Steven J. Erlsten Jan 1967

Defectively Designed Highways, Steven J. Erlsten

Cleveland State Law Review

There are many design standards, attitudes, and procedures which result in public highways with built-in design hazards and, when drivers are confronted with these hazards, the highways involved become laten tkillers. A defect of a highway by reason of its design will not be appa-ent to those unfamiliar with the problems of highway engineering. Thus, in the majority of accidents, the failing component is presumed to be the driver and little further investigation or thought is given to other factors. Highway fatality statistics prove that the driver cannot sustain the burden of correcting design shortcomings with driving skills, and an …


Uninsured Motorist Defined, Henry A. Hentemann Jan 1967

Uninsured Motorist Defined, Henry A. Hentemann

Cleveland State Law Review

An attempt will be made to explore the court interpretations of the standard policy definition of "uninsured automobile." However, when reviewing such, three basic consider-tions must be borne in mind. One is that many states have so-called uninsured motorist statutes which contain purpose and intent sections upon which the courts may have relied in allowing a liberal construction to achieve the purpose intended by the legislature. The second is that simple contract law, without statutory influence, requires that the words employed be given their plain and commonly understood meaning. Thirdly, however, any ambiguity in an insurance contract, it being a …

Motor Vehicles--Legislation--The Michigan Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act, Michigan Law Review Nov 1966

Motor Vehicles--Legislation--The Michigan Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

With the adoption of the Michigan Act, Michigan has become the fifth state to adopt a comprehensive program utilizing both the insurance and the fund approaches. Moreover, the Michigan Act, apparently inspired by its Ontario prototype, contains some elements which were previously unknown in United States legislation. Consequently, it may prove enlightening to examine the scope and purpose of the Michigan Act, and to compare it with similar legislation in other states.


The Effect Of Presumption Of Common Carrier Negligence Upon The Burden Of Proof, Anon Oct 1966

The Effect Of Presumption Of Common Carrier Negligence Upon The Burden Of Proof, Anon

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff, a common carrier truck line, sought to recover charges from the United States for transportation of a delicate and expensive camera. The government counterclaimed for damages exceeding plaintiff's charges. The counterclaim was advanced by proof of the camera's delivery to plaintiff in good condition and its arrival in damaged condition. Plaintiff replied by showing that the damage was the consequence of defective packaging by a United States employee. Being unable to prove that, notwithstanding defective packaging, the damage proximately resulted from the carrier's negligence in handling the camera, the United States was denied its counterclaim and adjudged liable for …

Insurance--Motor Vehicles--"Newly Acquired Automobile" Clause Extended To Cover Previously Owned Inoperable Vehicles--National Indem. Co. V. Giampapa, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff insurance company brought an action for a declaratory judgment that it be held not liable on a policy it had issued to the insured motorist. A party injured in an accident involving the insured had obtained a judgment against the insured in a suit which the insurer defended with a reservation of rights. Although a 1949 Cadillac was the "Described Automobile" in the insurance policy, the insured was driving a 1956 Ford at the time of the accident. The trial court found that during the term of the policy the Cadillac had become inoperable and was replaced by the …
