EQUITY - RESCISSION OF CONTRACT INDUCED BY FRAUD - MONEY JUDGMENT AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SPECIFIC RESTITUTION

Authors

Abstract

Plaintiff entered into an agreement for the exchange of interests in real estate with one of the defendants. After payment of part of the boot money agreed upon, the plaintiff defaulted and sued to have the agreement rescinded for fraud. The trial court rendered a money judgment for the amount at which the plaintiff's property had been taken on the trade. Held, that defendant's wife, to whom the property had been conveyed, should have been joined, and that the decree should be modified to order a reconveyance to the plaintiff. Bacon v. Fox, 267 Mich. 589, 255 N. W. 340 (1934).
