Fact Pattern One
Chrissy owned a prized show dog that Tony wanted to buy for his “friends”. Chrissy refused to sell the dog to Tony. Tony then whispered in Chrissy’s ear, “Listen little boy, my ‘friends’ do not take no for answer, you better sell me that dog, for a fair price if you want to keep that pretty little face of yours. If you don’t sell, they may just break every bone if your skinny little body” Chrissy agreed to sell the dog, but secretly recorded the conversation.
Chrissy now wishes to cancel his obligations under the contract. May he do so legally? Answer in IRAC form.
Fact Pattern Two
Joe offers to sell Schmoe his 1990 Hyundai for $10,000. Schmoe asks Joe if the car has ever been in an accident, explaining that it is very important to him that he purchases a car that has never been in an accident. Schmoe agrees to buy the car, and they make the exchange and each walks away very happy. One week later, the car breaks down, and Schmoe brings the car to the local shop. The mechanic tells him that the car’s engine needs to be replaced, as it appears it was severly damaged in an accident. Schmoe confronts Joe, who admits that he lied, and that the car was in fact in an accident.
Schmoe wishes to return the car to Joe and get his money back. May he legally do so? Answer in IRAC form.
