Case Analysis : Clark V Marcourt

Brown v. Board of education combined five separate cases, Oliver Brown et al. v. The Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, Briggs v. Elliot, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, Gebhart v. Belton, and Bolling v. Sharpe. The case was sponsored by the NAACP.

In relation to his sentencing, Clark also appealed the use of aggravating circumstances. New Mexico capital sentencing procedures required that a jury unanimously find beyond a reasonable doubt at least one aggravating circumstance as outlined by NM Stat § 31-20A-5, in order to apply the death penalty. In Clark’s case, the jury found two aggravating circumstances that applied, NM Stat § 31-20A-5(B); murder during the commission of a kidnapping, and NM Stat § 31-20A-5(G); murder of a witness to a crime to prevent the reporting of that crime. Clark argued that the State was counting the same aggravated circumstance twice, as the two were so closely related, it was impossible to have one without the other. The court rejected this claim, stating

As a starting note, any mention of concurrent liability should be assumed to mean concurrently liability in tort and contract. Traditionally the distinction between contract and tort was that contract concerns the improvement of the claimant 's position, whereas tort is concerned with dealing with their position worsening. There has been dispute around concurrent liability and its ambiguity has led to varying decision in cases and statute making as Taylor puts it “the basis of concurrent liability uncertain”. This essay will argue Tort has and is extending itself beyond its traditional role due to judges presumption of morality leading to the unclear concurrent liability we see today. Whilst this concurrent liability shows some

In 2009, the U.S. Supreme Court declined review in Thompson v. McNeil, but three Justices issued strongly worded statements about the importance of the legal issue raised. William Thompson had been on death row in Florida for 32 years. He claimed the excessive time he spent on death row amounted to cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. Justice John Paul Stevens, in an opinion respecting the denial of certiorari, called the treatment of the defendant during his 32 years on death row “dehumanizing,” noting that Thompson “has endured especially severe conditions of confinement, spending up to 23 hours per day in isolation in a 6- by 9-foot cell” and has experienced two stays of execution “only shortly before he was scheduled

In criminal law the most significant body in history is the Supreme Court. It is known as the “highest court in the land”. The landmark cases heard by the court are carefully chosen by the esteemed justices. The choices are usually based on cases that will have significance to more than just the parties involved in the case. They look at cases that will have a wide range effect for the country, and cases that lower courts struggled to come to a conclusion about. The case that was chosen for this essay was Ohio v. Clark. In this report the case will be summarized as well as discussed as to merits of the case and the decisions of the court.

In this article, Justine Kirby (2000) analyzes the basic law, section 11 of the Contractual Remedies Act 1979, and acknowledged routines for "exchanging" commitments, and after

Robert James Matthews was charged with multiple felonies, including, but not limited to, burglary, grand theft, petit theft, and malicious injury to property. While in court, Matthews admitted to breaking and entering into a car dealership, and stealing car keys. After stealing the keys, Matthews drove three cars around the city, and proceeded by dropping each of them off at various locations. It must also be noted that Matthews had a strong criminal history, and, although the court was not actively searched for, there were already multiple warrants out for Matthews for other smaller offenses such as minor burglaries.

Following Bridge’s comment that “the juridical basis of the duty to mitigate is obscure”, the first section of the essay will examine whether mitigation is best explained as an aspect of causation. It will be considered if causation explains mitigation, whether causation is the superior explanation, before discussing an alternative approach based on a reformulation of the compensatory principle. The second section of the essay will examine the true basis for the rules of remoteness in contract and tort, and will ask whether the

Jeremy Waldron, a professor of law and society, demonstrates the institution of tort liability and the issues that arises on the desert-based system. With the example of Fate, having to pay a large amount of money to Hurt for a moment of carelessness while doing the same act as Fortune, he shows how tort liability can be unjust and unfair. Two cases present examples of how Waldron would approve and disapprove the rulings.

But one could argue that such an effortless attempt to reconcile an injustice would open the door to exploiting the Principle of Rectification. Furthermore, it appears that rights can be violated by others so long as the victim is indemnified following the transgression and those involved are not in a worse position compared to what they might be in a state of nature as Jonathan Wolff espouses, ‘violate first, compensate later’ . In addition to that, it fails to comprehend that the victims might not always receive the equivalent amount in compensation whilst the guilty effortlessly accumulate immeasurable wealth.

In Earl of Chesterfield v. Janssen12, Lord Hardwicke laid down five species of fraud; the first one being a plain case of fraud, which may be actual, while the rest of the species were presumed frauds. His Lordship analysis received approval and was followed by Lord Selborne in Earl of Aylesford v Morris13. The equitable fraud does not mean deceit or circumvention but unconscientious use of the power from the circumstances and conditions of the parties contracting14. Apparently, the various forms of equitable fraud could be subsumed under unconscionable conducts and bargains.15 Some commentators appear to accept that the early doctrine of unconscionability was made up of two parts; first, equity in favour of heir and expectants, and second, equity granted general relief from unconscionable bargains16. For both parts, the early doctrine of unconscionability was identified as unconscionable bargains. Browne-Wilkinson J in Multiservice Book-binding Ltd v Marden summarized the type of classical cases that fell under unconscionable bargains category:

Remedies represent some interesting illustrations of the difference between law and equity; a difference which arose as; ‘an accident of history,’ according to Lord Nicholls in A-G v Blake. Ordinarily legal rights and remedies remain separate from equitable ones. Some similarities do, nevertheless, occur. For illustration, an injunction, an equitable remedy, can be sought for an anticipatory breach of contract, or to stop a nuisance, both common law claims. In A-G v Blake, the House of Lords authorized the equitable remedy of account of profits for an assertion for violation of contract where the common law remedy of damages would have been insufficient. The equitable remedy of account of profits is usually accessible where there is a fiduciary relationship but the House of Lords endorsed its request otherwise in exceptional cases where it was the operative way to remedy a wrong. By distinction, in Seager v Copydex, proceedings were brought for breach of confidence in regard for confidential information exposed by the defendants about a carpet grip. Such a claim is equitable and normally the equitable remedies of injunction and account are obtainable. On the other hand, an injunction would have been unsuccessful and he judges awarded damages. It would appear, consequently that a common law remedy is
