    Public Act 099-0090 SB0057 Enrolled LRB099 05449 HEP 25484 b AN ACT concerning civil law. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly: ARTICLE 1. HEART BALM ACTIONS Section 1-1. Findings. The majority of states have abolished heart balm actions. In Illinois, heart balm actions for alienation of affections, breach of promise to marry, and criminal conversation were permitted under the common law before the abolition of those causes of action by "An Act in relation to certain causes of action conducive to extortion and blackmail, and to declare illegal, contracts and Acts made and done in pursuance thereof", filed May 4, 1935, Laws 1935, p. 716. The Illinois Supreme Court held, in Heck v. Schupp, 394 Ill. 296 (1946), that the 1935 Act was unconstitutional and that the abolition of heart balm actions would infringe upon the rights of parties to remedies under Section 19 of Article II of the 1870 Constitution. (Section 12 of Article I of the 1970 Constitution is similar to the relevant portion of Section 19 of Article II of the 1870 Constitution.) Since 1947, heart balm actions have been permitted with limited damages under the Alienation of Affections Act, the Breach of Promise Act, and the Criminal Conversation Act. Society has since recognized that the amicable settlement Public Act 099-0090 SB0057 Enrolled LRB099 05449 HEP 25484 b of domestic relations disputes is beneficial. In 1977, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act became the law of this State. As stated in Section 102 of that Act, among its underlying purposes are: promoting the amicable settlement of disputes that have arisen between parties to a marriage; mitigating the potential harm to the spouses and their children caused by the process of legal dissolution of marriage; and eliminating the consideration of marital misconduct in the adjudication of rights and duties incident to the legal dissolution of marriage, legal separation and declaration of invalidity of marriage.

This is the "rule" of the Restatement which, for the sake of "certainty," courts throughout the country during the last few decades have invoked in nearly every torts conflicts case-only to reach widely differing results by the haphazard and therefore unpredictable use of various other devices.2 Arbitrary localization of the "place of wrong," arbitrary "characterizations" (e.g., procedure, contract), arbitrary resort to public policy, and even occasional arbitrary flight into renvoi, that "puerile" concept "of violently prejudiced literature,"3 are some of the devices which have been employed.

Should Tort Law Protect Property Against Accidental Loss? RICHARD L. ABEL* Tort damages for accidental harm to property violate the funda- mental values of autonomy, equality, and community. Tort law itself recognizes that property is less important than personal in- tegrity. State action, includingjudicial decisionmaking, that seeks to protect property against inadvertent damage either is unprinci- pled and hence arbitraryor reflects and reinforces the existing dis- tribution of wealth and power, or both. Tort liabilityfor acciden- tal injury to property cannot be defended as a means of reducing secondary accident costs, it entails very high transactioncosts, and it has little or no proven value as a deterrent of careless behavior. Consequently, courts should cease to recognize a cause of action in tort for accidental damage to property. t An earlier version of this Article was presented to the Symposium of the Colston Research Society at the University of Bristol, April 3-6, 1984.

    Indiana La^i^ Revleir Volume 24 1991 Number 2 ESSAY Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed? You and Me, and the State Makes Three Phyllis Coleman* I. Introduction Recently a married woman narrowly escaped a trial,* the possibility of two years in prison, and a $10,000 fine for a crime that an estimated sixty percent of the adult American population has committed. ^ Donna E. Carroll, a Wisconsin woman, was charged with having an adulterous affair. * Professor of Law, Nova University. B.S.. 1970; M. Ed., 1975; J.D., 1978, University of Florida. The author wishes to thank Professors John Sanchez and Bob Jarvis for their helpful comments and criticisms. 1. The 26-year-old Wisconsin woman was spared a trial when she agreed to perform 40 hours of community service and undergo two months of parental counseling. Chicago Tribune, May 8, 1990, at 2, col. 3. Her attorney made it clear that the woman agreed to these sanctions not as an admission of guilt, but only to avoid trial. The Times (London), May 9, 1990, Overseas News. This widely reported case "prompted disbelief and hilarity in the liberal northern cities but won approval from many conservative and religious groups." Id. 2. "Despite all the hush-hush, the morality, and the vendettas against those involved in them, affairs are extremely common. Almost everyone engages in one in his or her Hfe at some time." L. Linguist, Secret Lo\'ers xi (1989). Dr. Linguist estimates 70% of married men and 50% of married women have affairs. She also calculates that approximately 60% of all single people have had a sexual relationship with a married person.

NOTES DOES EQUITY PROTECT PROPERTY RIGHTS IN DOMESTIC RELATIONS? INTRODUCTION In many cases, we find the broad general statement that "Equity protects onl7 property rights." This rule that the office and jurisdiction of a court of equity, unless enlarged by an express statute, are limited to the protec- tion of property rights,1 is a rule of very general application. In People vs. Pro tty 2 the court said: "Injury to property whether actual or prospective is the foundation upon which the jurisdiction of courts of equity rests." And in In Re Sawyer,3 we find the following statement: "The office and jurisdiction of equity, unless enlarged by stat- ute, are limited to property rights." In some decisions, expressions are found to the effect that a court of equity would seem to be as responsive to a call for protection of personal rights, as to one for the protection of rights relating to property.- However, where the sole damage suffered consists of injury to personality, there is very little authority for giving injunctive relief.
