CORPORATIONS-TORT LIABILITY OF INDEPENDENT TAXI OWNERS' ASSOCIATIONS

Authors

Abstract

(a) In order to meet the competition of the large taxicab companies a number of taxi drivers owning their own cabs join together to advertise under a common name, establish a more efficient phone service, and secure the benefits of large-scale garage service. For this purpose a non-profit-sharing corporation is organized, to the expenses of which each driver contributes initiation fees and dues. (b) In order to avoid the liabilities which attend the ownership of cars one of the large taxi companies sells its cabs to the drivers. The drivers now pay the company a certain compensation in "dues" for the privilege of using the company name, color scheme, and advertising, and for the phone and garage service furnished.
