Opinion where court admits the RAP is way confusing?

Post by emilybeth » Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:30 pm

does anyone know the name of the property case where the court's opinion basically admits it has no idea how to figure out the rule against perpetuities?

There's a footnote to it in one of the RAP cases in Dukeminier. Don't have it in front of me; hope that helps.

RAP isn't that confusing once you understand its purpose and compare it to what's happening in South Dakota. Its just a way to limit dead-hand control.

If you're still looking, you could try Lucas v. Hamm, where a lawyer was cleared of malpractice claims because the court ruled an ordinary lawyer couldn't be expected to apply the RAP correctly.
