Fun Legal Hypo (4 Jews Chase After $20 Bill) - from Talmud Law Class
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 17th, 2017 2:00 PM Author: soul-stirring theatre moishe, shlomo, dudi and yehuda *were* friends.
as the were walking home from the yeshiva, moishe commented that he thought he saw money on the other side of a busy street.
shlomo said that he definitely could see it, and it was a 100 shekel note [~$20] and it belonged to him because he saw it first.
dudi ran across the street and was the first person to get within a 6-ft. range of the note, however yehuda was able to put his foot on the note.
moishe quickly snatched the money from under yehuda's foot and put it in his pocket.
who is entitled to the 100 shekels?
NOTE: this actually happened. this isn't a hypo. |

Date: January 5th, 2018 3:25 PM Author: soul-stirring theatre RULING: moishe wins. the rule is that property is acquired by moving it in some direction as a symbolic act of the transaction -- up down left right etc. e.g., if someone gives you the keys to a house in a real estate deal, the transaction is finalized when you move the key. one cant acquire property by falling on it. you actually have to move it. yehuda putting his foot on the note didnt acquire it. moishe picking it up is what acquired it. seeing the note is totally irrelevant here.

Date: January 5th, 2018 5:00 PM Author: lascivious dilemma Traditionally, a thief must not only gain dominion over the property, but also must move it from its original position. The slightest movement, a hair's breadth, is sufficient.[23] However, the entirety of the property must be moved. As LaFave noted critically this requirement is the difference between rotating a doughnut (larceny) and rotating a pie (not larceny),[24] as all of the doughnut is moved through rotation while the pie's exact center remains in the same place when rotated. The movement must also be an actual asportation, rather than movement in preparation. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3800740&forum_id=2#35089800) |

Date: January 5th, 2018 5:11 PM Author: Walnut bearded yarmulke hmm, I think either shlomo and moishe should share it. obviously moishe has it and he needs to get it. but shlomo got nothing for spotting the $$$ and not giving anything to schlomo discourages future people from spotting money, which is socially desirable.
remember that this might have never even happened if schlomo didn't see the $$$ |
