Abstract
- The article presents news related to recent developments in the legal profession and reports on decisions that have been taken for various court cases. A father murdered his daughter in order to inherit her property, and four days later, sold the property to a third person. A court decided that the daughter's property did not descend to the father, because of his crime, and consequently declined to consider the question of the purchaser's good faith, although this should have been the cardinal point of the case. It is believed that the so-called fusion of law and equity is largely responsible for such decisions.
