Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Legal Liability, Vol. 1: A Presentation of the Theory and Development of the Common Law; Theory and Principles of Tort The present volume contains a new synthesis of the fundamental principles of tort along scientific and historical lines. The aim has been to discover and indicate the true path of legal evolution in this complicated field. As might be expected from the adoption of new methods of inquiry, and from the opening of new lines of thought, we have turned up many new ideas and have been able to present the old truths in new and more enlightening aspects. The discovery and establishment of what we have called the 'secondary trespass formation' represent, we make bold to believe, a considerable advance in legal knowledge. It gives insight into the nature of a class of torts which have hitherto proved somewhat intractable, and enables us to assign the conception of negligence to its proper place in legal theory. The reader will find that this subject of negligence has been much stirred. We have pointed out its complexity and have shown the reason for the difficulties which are here encountered. Above all, we have illustrated this branch of the law with a copiousness of concrete cases not attempted in connection with any other subject. For the convenience of those who may desire to discriminate we have had the illustrative matter printed in a smaller type than that which is used for the ordinary text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Liability: For Personal Injuries Arising Out of Negligence In the preparation of the present edition, the text of the work has been revised, all errors discovered corrected, and obsolete and redundant matter expunged. A great amount of new matter has been added under the respective section heads, and a number of supplementary sections inserted. The cases, reported since the publication of the first edition, have been examined, and about seventeen hundred citations from the decisions of the courts of last resort added to the work. Gratefully acknowledging the favor with which the the first edition of the book has been received, the author believes that its thorough revision, and the additions made to it in the present edition, will be found materially to have increased its value, both to the student and the practising lawyer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Legal Liability, Vol. 2: A Presentation of the Theory In this, the second volume of the foundations OF legal liability, the author has undertaken to work out along historical and evolutionary lines the fundamental principles of our law of contract. The same method has been here pursued that was followed in the writing of the first volume, and the same general aim has been kept in view. Nevertheless, the result is appreciably different. The former volume is, within its limits, a rounded treatise on the subject of torts; the present volume is more in the nature of a preliminary study of the law of contract than a rounded treatise on that subject. In the former volume we were able to preserve a very satisfactory balance between matter of pure legal history and matter expository of legal principles. In this volume we have been forced to lay more stress on matter of pure legal history than on matter expository of the existing state of the law. The reason for this is to be found in certain grave difficulties which were encountered at the very threshold of these inquiries into the law of contract. The existence of these made it nec essary that some preliminary work of a very searching nature should be done. The author accordingly set about the doing of this preliminary work, and the result is the book that is now before the reader. It was thought better to deal fully and exhaustively with the root principles in our law of contract rather than to attempt a systematic presentation of the whole subject. Legal theory in the field of contract was found not to be ripe for that rounded scientific synthesis which, it is to be hoped, will some day appear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Legal Liability, Vol. 3: A Presentation of the Theory and Development of the Common Law We apprehend that the reason why the principles under lying the common-law actions are of permanent worth is to be found in the fact that those principles are indissolubly associated with fundamental conceptions of legal liability. It is true that the forms of action are the vestments or trap pings of substantive rights of action. But they are more than this. Historically they are the vehicle in which substantive principle has been conveyed to the teachable mind, and such conceptions of fundamental liability as those actions were capable of conveying are the conceptions which have been accepted in our law. Under the system of common-law pleading, lawyers and judges were compelled to do exact thinking. In choosing the form of action in framing the pleadings, as well as in the instruction of Juries, and even in the rendition of the judg ment, it was necessary in each case to anatomize the cause of action in order to ascertain the exact nature of the legal liability upon which the suit was based. Each particular species of liability had, or was supposed to have, its peculiar and appropriate remedy. A mistake in the diagnosis of the nature of the liability would lead to the adoption of the wrong form of action, and this at a later stage would certainly lead to a wreck of that particular lawsuit and perhaps to a loss of the right of action itself. Every cause of action was therefore certain under the common-law system to be sub jected, at one stage or another, to the closest scrutiny to ascertain the exact nature of the liability involved. The dis cassions to which this gave rise tended vastly to elucidate the principles underlying our law, and they form one of the richest elements in our court decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Basis of Vicarious Liability Interpretation. It savors too dangerously of the time when the courts held that they were to do no more than apply a given remedy to a given set of facts concerning John Doe and Richard Roe - with a lofty unconcern for the world at large. We are passing beyond that stage. The meaning to be given to the scope of employment is bound more and more to affect vitally the whole future of industry. It is according as lawyers realize this, that they will be equipped to deal adequately with the facts of life. It is, it is true, an interpretation they may not find in the books. But law is perhaps in need of the stimulus of a freer atmosphere.1. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Accident and Employer's Liability Insurance Accident insurance is of comparatively modern origin. In the seventeenth century the idea of insuring individuals against accidents seems to have been first contemplated in France. But not until the middle of the nineteenth century was the first English company formed for this purpose. The first American company was not organized until about 1860. In England the policies were framed for the purpose of paying definite indemnities for specific injuries, such as the loss of a limb, blindness, etc., The earliest American policies were based on their English prototypes. They were not adapted to the newer country, with its different customs and habits of life, its varied occupations and risks, and the companies which had embarked in the business met with disaster and failure. Shortly the pioneers in the industry undertook the scientific construction of a system of accident insurance, evolving new tables of rates, new classifications of risks, and new methods of business, based upon conditions in the United States. In a short time it was demonstrated that by a statistical and mathematical calculation a table of risks could be prepared on the same principle employed in the construction of mortality tables by life insurance companies, upon which could be based a reliable and equitable system of accident insurance. In the United States accident insurance was inaugurated with the sale of so-called "accident tickets" to travelers on railroads covering only risks of travel, and in most instances good only for periods of twenty-four hours or the duration of specific trips. These tickets were sold at railroad stations. It soon became manifest that only a small percentage, not above ten per cent., of accidents resulted from traveling. Gradually the policies were made broader and more comprehensive in their scope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Cases on Torts Classic Reprint written by Frank Leslie Simpson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on Torts The defendant demurred to the first count, on the ground that the declaration did not set forth a legal cause of action. The Superior Court sustained the demurrer, and ordered judgment for the defendant; and the plaintiff appealed to this court. Devens, J. The alleged misrepresentations of the defendant, by which the plaintiff avers that he was induced to enter into a contract for building thirty miles of the Florida Midland Railway, are that the defendant had purchased a certain quantity of rails at a certain price, and that he would sell those rails to the plaintiff at the same price if he would make such contract. The plaintiff's declaration alleges that the defendant had not then purchased the rails, and did not sell, and did not intend to sell, any rails so purchased to the plaintiff and that by reason of the contract into which the plaintiff was induced to enter, he was obliged to purchase a large number of rails at a much higher price than that named by the defendant, to his great injury. If the formalities required by law in order that contracts for the sale and delivery of goods of the value here in ques tion had been complied with, that these facts would constitute a con tract upon a valuable consideration, will not be questioned. The plaintiff does not seek to recover upon this contract, but in an action of tort in the nature of deceit, because he was induced to enter into the contract with the Florida Railway Company by reason of the representations above set forth. A representation, in order that, if material and false, it may form the ground Of an action where one has been induced to act by reason thereof, should be one Of some existing fact. A statement promissory in its character that one will thereafter sell goods at a particular price or time, will pay money, or do any similar thing, or any assur ance as to what shall thereafter be done, or as to any further event, is not properly a representation, but a contract, for the violation Of which a remedy is to be sought by action thereon. The statement by the defendant that he would thereafter sell rails at a particular price if the plaintiff would contract with the railway company was a promise, the breach Of which has occasioned the injury to the plaintiff.

In contract, and as to pecuniary elements of dam age in-tort, the court can, and does, exercise rather a close control over the amount of damages; but, as to non-pecuniary elements of damage in torts, the jury may exercise a discretion of considerable breadth, for it is, as to such elements, exceedingly difficult, in most cases, to say that a verdict is excessive or inadequate, and it is altogether impossible to lay down practically complete general rules as in contract.
