Cases on the Law of Personal Property by John V. Brennan Pdf
Excerpt from Cases on the Law of Personal Property The author has long been of the opinion that the subject of Personal Property was deserving of more attention than is often times given to it in the law schools of this country. This seems particularly so because of the constantly increasing volume of this type of property, and the multiplicity of legal relations arising therefrom; and while many phases of the subject naturally lend themselves to separate treatment, yet there is a certain body of legal principles which underlie and run throughout the subject of Personal Property, a knowledge of which is highly desirable, if not absolutely necessary to a reasonable understanding of the law. The purpose of this book is to set out and illustrate by concrete cases these fundamental principles. In selecting these cases, the author has kept in mind two things; viz., first, to include no case based on obsolete law; second, to include only so much of the case as is in point. The cases have also been arranged in such a way as to develop, in a logical order, the legal principles under discussion. As a further help to the student, a topical heading has been used for each case or group of cases, the purpose being to give the student something definite to look for. The heading, however, in no instance, reveals the holding of the case, for the author has been as careful to prevent legal conclusions being drawn from the headings as he has been particular in selecting suitable headings. The cases selected are of such a type and variety as to illustrate, in a comprehensive manner, the underlying principles of the law of Personal Property.
