COMMENT PRESCRIBING SOLIDARITY: CONTRIBUTING TO THE INDEMNITY DILEMMA During the last supreme court term two decisions' werehanded down that have the potential to affect profoundly Louisiana law gov- erning solidary obligors. The first case, Thomas v. W & W Clarklift, Inc.,2 presented a complex factual situation. The plaintiff, an employee of Dennis Sheen Transfer Company, was injured when a forklift fell on him. The machine had been purchased as a used item from W & W Clarklift, which had overhauled it.' Suit was instituted against W & W Clarklift and its insurer, under theories of neg- ligence and breach of warranty.' Some twenty-nine months after the employee's action had been filed, the defendants brought third party demands5 against officers and supervisory personnel of Dennis Sheen Transfer, averring negligence in failing to discover the fork- lift's unsafe condition and seeking contribution or indemnity.' After the trial court dismissed the demands, the fourth circuit affirmed7 by sustaining the peremptory exception of prescription' of one year's lapse.9 The Louisiana Supreme Court reversed and ruled that 1.

  • TITLE V. — PRESCRIPTION Chapter 1
    CIVIL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES TITLE V. — PRESCRIPTION Chapter 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS Article 1106. By prescription, one acquires ownership and other real rights through the lapse of time in the manner and under the conditions laid down by law. In the same way, rights and actions are lost by prescrip- tion. COMMENT: (1) Defi nition of Prescription Prescription is a mode of acquiring (or losing) ownership and other real rights thru the lapse of time in the manner and under the conditions laid down by law, namely, that the posses- sion should be: (a) in the concept of an owner (b) public (c) peaceful (d) uninterrupted. (Arts. 1106, 1118, Civil Code). (e) adverse. In order that a possession may really be adverse, the claimant must clearly, defi nitely, and unequivocally notify the owner of his (the claimant’s) intention to avert an exclusive ownership in himself. (Clendenin v. Clendenin, 181 N.C. 465 and Director of Lands v. Abiertas, CA-GR 91-R, Mar. 13, 1947, 44 O.G. 923). 1 Art. 1106 CIVIL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES (2) Proof Needed Because prescription is an extraordinary mode of acquiring ownership, all the essential ingredients, particularly the period of time, must be shown clearly. (Boyo v. Makabenta, CA-GR 7941-R, Nov. 24, 1952). (3) Reasons or Bases for Prescription (a) Economic necessity (otherwise, property rights would re- main unstable). Director of Lands, et al. v. Funtillar, et al. GR 68533, May 23, 1986 FACTS: Where the land sought to be registered was declared alienable and disposable 33 years ago, and is no longer a forest land, and the same has been possessed and cultivated by the applicants and their predecessors for at least three generations.

  • LSU-Louisiana Law Review Styles
    Solidarity in Overlapping Insurance Coverage: Rethinking Hoefly Alex Robertson* In for a penny, in for a pound—solidary obligors are treated as one. As between themselves, a payment to a creditor by one solidary obligor relieves the others toward that creditor.1 Interruption of prescription as to one solidary obligor interrupts as to all.2 The effects of solidarity are powerful and have always been clear, but deciding to whom solidarity applies has proven cumbersome for Louisiana courts.3 A plain reading of the Louisiana Civil Code suggests that solidarity arises only when the parties or the law clearly express an intent to bind obligors in solido.4 The Louisiana Supreme Court in Hoefly v. Government Employees Insurance Company5 established a three-pronged test whereby courts could more flexibly invoke the doctrine of solidarity arising from the law6 to save a plaintiff’s claim from prescription.7 The Hoefly Court’s holding, however—that a victim’s under- or uninsured motorist (“UM”) insurer and a tortfeasor were solidarily bound so that prescription was interrupted as to both8—perhaps unwittingly expanded the application of solidarity.9 Copyright 2017, by ALEX ROBERTSON. * Associate Attorney at Irwin Fritchie Urquhart & Moore LLC.

Schewe* LEGISLATION The Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature in 1984 was mon- umental in this area of the law; Titles III and IV of Book III of the Civil Code were amended by Act 331, the culmination of the revision of the law of obligations proposed by the Louisiana State Law Institute. A complete analysis of Act 331 will appear in a subsequent issue of the Review.' Accordingly, the new obligations articles will be mentioned only if the disposition of a discussed judicial opinion would be altered or if part of the new law would clarify a confusion presently existing in the jurisprudence. 2 One section of Act 331, however, deserves com- ment.

  • How to Extinguish a Solidary Obligation
    READING RELEASE: HOW TO EXTINGUISH A SOLIDARY OBLIGATION David Gruning* This Article explores how the Louisiana Civil Code uses a few key words to describe what happens when a creditor intentionally extinguishes the obligation of a debtor. While the Code provides fairly detailed rules and even some definitions of contracts and other methods that extinguish obligations, the Code does not do so for the term of art “release,” which it nevertheless employs several times in several contexts. Exploring the meaning of this term of art takes us through the process of the revision of the Louisiana Civil Code of 1870, and shows how some important decisions were made, particularly regarding the nominate contract of compromise, whose full effects might not have been fully appreciated. The awkward connection between “release” and “concession” is suggested. Thus, the goal of this Article is to illuminate some of the difficulties, if not embarrassments, that occur in attempting to put law into words, whose meanings we understand, or ought to. I.

    Louisiana Law Review Volume 49 | Number 6 July 1989 Civil Code Article 2324: A Broken Path to Limited Solidary Liability M. Kevin Queenan Repository Citation M. Kevin Queenan, Civil Code Article 2324: A Broken Path to Limited Solidary Liability, 49 La. L. Rev.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Louisiana Law Review by an authorized editor of LSU Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. COMMENTS Civil Code Article 2324: A Broken Path to Limited Solidary Liability Norman Normal decided to travel the countryside by automobile. Pete Pitiful, a speeding motorist along the same route, failed to main- tain control of his car and rammed into Norman. The collision ruptured Norman's fuel tank due to a manufacturing defect, causing an explosion and fire. Norman received substantial burns resulting in grotesque scars, particularly on his face. Unable to compromise the claim, the parties tried the matter before a jury, which assessed $1,000,000 in damages. The jury assigned sixty percent fault to Pete and forty percent fault to Manufacturer. Pete's only asset was a $10,000 automobile liability policy. Under the law as it existed prior to September 1, 1987, the legal result was clear: because Pete and Manufacturer were solidary obligors, each liable for the whole, Manufacturer owed Norman $1,000,000 less Pete's insurance coverage.
