Dempsey v. Stategreen

1994Because wrongful-death actions under § 10-7-1 may be maintained against the state, see, e.g., Dempsey v. State, 451 A.2d 273, 273 (R.I.1982) (per curiam); Allen v. State, 420 A.2d 70, 72 (R.I.1980); see also G.L.1956 (1985 Reenactment) § 9-31-1 (providing that the state shall “be liable in all actions of tort in the same manner as a *336 private individual or corporation”), we must infer that the Legislature intended to allow the discovery rule contained in § 10-7-2 to apply.

1982The conveyance of the farm shall be subject to this right of occupancy of Robert Adams Child.” 1 The trial justice, in rejecting Robert’s claim that he had a life estate in the premises, relied upon the rule of construction found in Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co. v. City of Woonsocket, 48 R.I. 345, 347 , 137 A. 411, 412 (1927), which states that when a testator has made an “absolute estate in fee in land * * * a subsequent provision inconsistent with the absolute nature of that gift shall be regarded as a repugnant provision and treated as void in law.” We acknowledge the repugnancy principle

1982We deem this court’s comments in State v.

Atkinson v. White green

1 sentence

1885The Supreme Court of Maine, in Atkinson v. White, supra, express an inclination to go even further, and to hold broadly that “ when a party has once tried a question in one suit, he shall not, without regard to mutual estoppel, again try the same question involving the same testimony in another suit.” We think, on the authority of these cases, it is competent for the defendant town to set up, by way of estoppel in the ease at bar, the -judgment recovered by the Bud-longs.
