Canadian Pacific Ry. Co. v. Anderson - [1936] SCR 200 - 1936-04-21
Supreme Court JudgmentsTransportation
The cases of Lynch v. Nurdin11; Jewson v. Gatti[14]; Harrold v. Watney[15], and Barker v. Herbert[16] are all of this class (see especially per Vaughan Williams L.J. in the last cited case at pp. 637 and 638). [...] The horse and cart left unattended in the highway, to use the language of Vaughan Williams L.J.[18], “constituted a danger to those using the highway—that is, it constituted a nuisance.” [...] The following are instances: Dixon v. Bell[26]; Illidge v. Goodwin[27]; Lynch v. Nurdin[28]; Clark v. Chambers[29]; Englehard v. Farrant & Co.[30]; McDowall v. Great Western Railway[31]; Williams v. Eady[32].

Grobstein v. Kouri - [1936] SCR 264 - 1936-04-21
Supreme Court JudgmentsBankruptcy and insolvency
Vaughan Williams, L.J., thought the preferable construction was to treat the policy as by the husband on his wife’s life, because he was inclined to think that the husband had an interest in his wife’s life which ought to be presumed, and treating the policy in that way he did not think it necessary to go into the evidence [...] I have quoted above the words of Vaughan Williams, L.J., as to the practical reason for treating these joint insurances as insurance by each of the other’s life. [...] I can see the objection that can be taken to my own preference of dealing with the policy in the way that Vaughan Williams, L.J., did in the Griffiths case[9] because of the words of reservation of change of beneficiary in each of the applications.
