Johnston v. Compagnie Generale Transatlantique
green
2 sentences1981While it is true that the State of Israel does not recognize any civil divorce as being determinative of the marital status of its Jewish residents, New York State has for some time adopted a liberal policy of recognizing foreign judgments through comity, ignoring the doctrine of reciprocity (Johnston v Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, 242 NY 381, 384 ; Matter of James, supra). 1981A right obtained and validated through legal procedure in a foreign jurisdiction gives rise to an obligation which follows the person and may be enforced wherever that person may be found (Johnston v Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, supra; Louks v Standard Oil Co. of N.Y., 224 NY 99, 110 ). | 1 | 1981–1981 |

People v. Elliot
green
1 sentence1974In People v. Elliot ( 75 Misc 2d 754, 755 ), Mr. Justice Titone, in Kings County Supreme Court, required that the defendant loe furnished by the District Attorney with the names and addresses of all contra-alibi witnesses. ‘6 This court ’ ’ he said, ‘ ‘ is 'of the opinion that the statutory scheme of requiring a defendant to furnish the People with a list of alibi .witnesses prior to trial, is not invalid per se, but merely inadequate because it does not afford a defendant reciprocal discovery rights when he intends to interpose an alibi defense. | 1 | 1974–1974 |
Clark v. Allen
green
2 sentences1968The majority opinion deliberately refrained from re-examining its decision in Clark v. Allen ( 331 U. S. 503 ), which, had held that a California statute, containing a reciprocity requirement similar to that in Oregon, was not unconstitutional on its face. 1968Of Clark v. Allen (supra) it said, “ The case seemed to involve no more than a routine reading of foreign laws ” (389 U. S., supra, p. 433). | 1 | 1968–1968 |
