Book Synopsis Breach of Promise to Marry by : Denise Bates
Download or read book Breach of Promise to Marry written by Denise Bates and published by Wharncliffe. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look back through the history of women who were about to be married only to be left at the altar—and left with no choice but to take their revenge. A wedding day is supposed to be the happiest, most special and blessed event in a bride’s life. And most of the time, it is. But sometimes, it is not. In this fun, fascinating look at betrothals that went bust before anyone even said “I do,” the authors have collected the true stories of what happened when the groom suddenly decided “I don’t.” From the 1780s right up to the 1970s, jilted women (and the occasional crushed suitor) employed a range of tactics to bring false lovers to book. Here is a full wedding party of cases in which women found very different kinds of happy endings, such as Mary Elizabeth Smith who forged evidence of a courtship to entrap an Earl, Catherine Kempsall who shot the man who denied their engagement, Gladys Knowles who was awarded a record £10,000 in damages by a jury in 1890, and Daisy Mons who discreetly negotiated a £50,000 settlement from a nobleman. Based on original research, this social history of breach of promise shows that when men behaved badly, hell had no fury like a woman scorned.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... THE LAW OF BREACH OF PROMISE A PROMISE of Marriage is not in itself binding, DEGREES that is to say, there must be an acceptance of the promise and mutual promises of marriage. These form a contract to marry. All contracts must be founded upon a consideration; and on enquiry it is found that this species of contract discloses a consideration, which is, that the one promises to take the other to wife, if the other will take him to husband (Philpott v. Wallett, see post, page 20). Chief Justice Holt, in the case of Harrison v. Cage and Wife (see post, page 22), said the consideration for the promise is the promise of the other and acceptance of the promises by both parties. In strictness, then, what is generally known as an action of breach of promise of marriage, is in reality an action for breach of a contract of marriage. Contracts to marry must, as a general rule, be founded upon reciprocity, and an obligation on both sides to fulfil them. In such cases either of the parties may sue for the breach of the contract. An exception with regard to infants is made. These may sue for the breach though incapable of being sued for the same (i.e., he being an infant defendant, would have a good and complete defence in alleging and proving that at the time of the promise and breach he was not twenty-one years of age). The principle which governs this exception being that infancy is 1) in law considered as a personal privilege, of which no one can take advantage but the infant, and that therefore the adult party shall be bound by, although the infant may avoid the contract. The Infants' Relief Act, 37 & 38 Vic., c. 62, extends the privileges which infants enjoyed prior to 1874. All his debts and contracts, except for necessaries, are ma
Download or read book Matters of Deceit written by Maria Luddy and published by Four Courts Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Irish history, marriage was of huge significance to women and men for social, emotional, and economic reasons. Married women had greater status than unmarried women. The most acceptable way to form families was through marriage and, as in all time periods, both men and women desired children. Economic stability - though not necessarily guaranteed by marriage - was an inducement to marriage for many women, especially in a society where paid employment opportunities for them were limited. A breach of promise to marry is a fundamental break of a promise - by either a man or woman - to carry through a marriage. However, as this book shows, breach of promise cases were not always straightforward. Exploring the history of breach of promise cases in Ireland allows an insight into courtship rituals. It reveals the significance of monetary considerations in marriage settlements and the value that was placed on women's - and men's - reputations.

Our hero is accused of breaching the promise of marriage and is taken to trial where the honourable Mr. Justice Stareleigh presides at the City of London courtroom. Is he innocent or will he be proven guilty? Let the trial begin in one of ‘The Pickwick Papers’ most popular episodes. So popular, in fact, it was often dramatized or read aloud as living room entertainment.

Dickens’ timeless novels and short stories are still widely read today and many have been adapted into countless TV programmes and films including the Academy Award-winning musical ‘Oliver’, and 'A Christmas Carol' which well known worldwide and is a huge favourite movie for families to watch together at Christmas time.

Download or read book Insincere Promises written by Ian Ayres and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can a promise be a lie? Answer: when the promisor never intended to perform the promise. Such incidences of promissory fraud are frequently litigated because they can result in punitive damages awards. And an insincere promisor can even be held criminally liable. Yet courts have provided little guidance about what the scope of liability should be or what proof should be required. This book—the first ever devoted to the analysis of promissory fraud—answers these questions. Filled with examples of insincere promising from the case law as well as from literature and popular culture, the book is an indispensable guide for those who practice or teach contract law. The authors explore what promises say from the perspectives of philosophy, economics, and the law. They identify four chief mistakes that courts make in promissory fraud cases. And they offer a theory for how courts and practitioners should handle promissory fraud cases.

Book Synopsis Contract as Promise by : Charles Fried
Download or read book Contract as Promise written by Charles Fried and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contract as Promise is a study of the philosophical foundations of contract law in which Professor Fried effectively answers some of the most common assumptions about contract law and strongly proposes a moral basis for it while defending the classical theory of contract. This book provides two purposes regarding the complex legal institution of the contract. The first is the theoretical purpose to demonstrate how contract law can be traced to and is determined by a small number of basic moral principles. At the theory level the author shows that contract law does have an underlying, and unifying structure. The second is a pedagogic purpose to provide for students the underlying structure of contract law. At this level of doctrinal exposition the author shows that structure can be referred to moral principles. Together the two purposes support each other in an effective and comprehensive study of contract law. This second edition retains the original text, and includes a new Preface. It also includes a substantial new essay entitled Contract as Promise in the Light of Subsequent Scholarship--Especially Law and Economics which serves as a retrospective of the work accomplished in the last thirty years, while responding to present and future work in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Perry’s acclaimed William Monk novels have captivated readers with their rich texture and masterly suspense, leading The New York Times Book Review to exclaim, “Give her a good murder and a shameful social evil, and Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens’s eyes pop.” Now, the first five books in the spellbinding series are collected in this addictive eBook bundle: FACE OF A STRANGER His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. With his memory erased after a terrible accident, Monk intends on hiding his condition and starting a new life by tackling a grisly murder case in which each new revelation leads him to the answers he seeks—but dreads to find. A DANGEROUS MOURNING Called upon to investigate the brutal murder of a blue-blooded young widow, Monk is plagued by both his lingering amnesia and an inept supervisor. But when nurse Hester Latterly offers her assistance, together they grope warily through the silence and shadows that obscure the aristocrat’s demise. DEFEND AND BETRAY After a brilliant military career, General Thaddeus Carlyon meets his death not on the battlefield but at a London dinner party. Although his wife confesses to the murder, Monk and Hester suspect deceit. With the trial only days away, they feverishly work to unravel the dark heart of the mystery. Praise for Anne Perry and her William Monk series “Perry’s Victorian mysteries are marvels.”—The New York Times Book Review “There’s no one better at using words to paint a scene and then fill it with sounds and smells than Anne Perry.”—The Boston Globe “[The] reigning monarch of the Victorian mystery.”—People “Few mystery writers this side of Arthur Conan Doyle can evoke Victorian London with such relish for detail and mood.”—San Francisco Chronicle “[A] master of crime fiction.”—The Baltimore Sun “[Among] Perry’s strengths: memorable characters and an ability to evoke the Victorian era with the finely wrought detail of a miniaturist.”—The Wall Street Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Breach of Promise: Its History and Social Considerations; To Which Are Added a Few Pages on the Law of Breach of Promise and a Glance at Many Amusing Cases Since the Reign of Queen Elizabeth Our legislative physicians are in doubt as to the efficacy of their medicine, and they differ but little in this respect from a few medical men, perhaps, of the reader's own acquaintance. The patient sufferers, the unfortunate public have also, it is needless to add, but little confidence in the beneficial results of the mixture. Experience shows that by taking the dose a part of the body is certainly benefited, while the greater part is injured, sometimes beyond remedy. Hence it is that two subjects, para mount in importance, both dealing with the social welfare of our country, are now among those upper most in the public mind. They affect all sorts and conditions of men. No marvel, therefore, that so much interest has, during recent years, attached to the Action of Breach of Promise of Marriage, and to the question of Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister.
