It is with certain trepidation that I broach the present subject, for the doctrine of the state has had a long and distinguished history. The consequence of that history is that positions have been held tenaciously by most people who have given it attention, especially our own compatriots. To challenge the doctrine, worked out laboriously by left-wing Puritanism in the seventeenth century and taken over by the founding fathers of this country and written into its fundamental documents, is no light matter. Yet if in the Reformed tradition we believe in examining our positions, constantly striving to bring them into harmony with the will of God expressed in Scripture, it is well that we do the same with the topic before us. This becomes especially desirable when one considers the origins of that doctrine and the crisis before us today. Let us look at each of these briefly.

Rule # 1. Where the injured person has negligently placed himself in a situation of peril from which he is physically unable to remove himself, the defendant is liable if he saw, or should have seen, him [and realized, or ought to have realized, his peril] in time to avert the accident by using reasonable care. 'Rule # 2. Where the plainfiff has negligently placed himself in a situation of peril from which he is physically able to remove himself, but is unconscious of his peril, the defendant is liable only if he saw the plaintiff and realized, or ought to have realized, his peril in time to avert the accident by using reasonable care. These two rules state the new last clear chance doctrine in Virginia. They were announced by the Supreme Court of Appeals in a unanimous decision on September 14, 1955, in Greear v. Noland Co., 197 Va. 233, 238. Rule # 1 has always been the law in Virginia and elsewhere. Rule # 2 is new, and it brings Virginia -in line with the overwhelming weight of authority in America. Prior to this decision the Virginia law on last clear chance was in a state of hopeless confusion.

The fifth amendment of the United States Constitution commands that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. Many cases involve the issue of what constitutes just compensation for particular private property which has been taken. Few guiding principles have been formulated, other than a general proposition that just compensation is based upon the market value of the property with due consideration of all its available uses. The amount assessed under the above formula cannot be enhanced by any special use of the property to the Government, because just compensation means the amount of loss to the owner, not the gain derived by the appropriator from the taking. The purpose of this comment is to outline a major exception to the usual rules of just compensation.

ANYONE who attempts to speak on Unjustified Enrichment in these dynamic days is instantly haunted by the reflection that he is somehow embarking on a discussion of some new-fangled political creed. Certainly the familiar French axiom nul ne doit s'enrichir injustement aux depens d'autrui sounds attractive enough to be mistaken for a slogan, while its implications appear at first blush to be no less pregnant with political meaning. No one, it is said, must enrich himself unjustly at his neighbour's expense: and is not this a palatable way of saying that no one is permitted to acquire riches or to retain them? Beyond doubt, it is true to say that in an economic system where the means of production are State-owned and State-controlled, the acquisitive propensities of the individual are restricted to the wages he is capable of earning from the State, and nothing more besides. Accordingly, if a purely collectivist society is contemplated, it becomes fundamental to hold that to enrich one's self is necessarily to do so at the expense of one's neighbour; and further, if by injustice is meant "social injustice", as the French school of social solidarity would have the early twentieth century jurists believe, then it soon begins to look obvious that any variety of enrichment is unconscionable. ; N/A
