Description

The plaintiff, Farr, entered into an agreement, evidenced by a memorandum, to purchase certain real property owned by the Newmans for $3,000. After the making of this agreement, which was not in a form to be recorded, the defendant, Hardy, took a conveyance of the subject property, paying $4,000 therefor. Hardy's attorney, however, had knowledge of the outstanding agreement between Farr and Newman. This knowledge was acquired directly from plaintiff, who stood upon his rights although the attorney had decided that the agreement was unenforcible. The attorney did not inform Hardy of plaintiff's alleged equity and Hardy then took the conveyance from the Newmans. Farr brings this action to compel Hardy to convey the property to him upon payment of $3,000.
