Hilton doctrine

Read a random definition: legatine

A quick definition of Hilton doctrine:

The Hilton Doctrine is a rule in civil procedure that says if there is a disagreement between people who have an oil-and-gas lease, the people who would lose their rights if the lease is canceled are very important to the case. They are called indispensable parties. This rule comes from a court case called Hilton v. Atlantic Refining Co. in 1964.

A more thorough explanation:

The Hilton Doctrine is a rule in civil procedure that applies to disputes between parties involved in an oil-and-gas lease. According to this doctrine, if a defendant's lease is challenged, royalty owners who would lose their rights if the lease were terminated are considered indispensable parties to the proceeding.

For example, let's say that a company has leased a piece of land for oil and gas exploration. The lease agreement includes a provision that grants a percentage of the profits to the landowner as royalties. If another party challenges the validity of the lease, the Hilton Doctrine would require that the royalty owners be included in the legal proceedings because they have a direct interest in the outcome of the case.

The Hilton Doctrine was established in the case of Hilton v. Atlantic Refining Co., which was heard by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in 1964. The court ruled that the royalty owners were indispensable parties to the case because their rights would be affected by the outcome of the dispute.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
