Essаy 2 (60 Minutes) Sаrаh hired Dan, a cоmmercial real estate brоker, tо help her find a building in downtown Atlanta, Georgia to purchase for her thriving designer clothing boutique. She already had a store in another area of Atlanta but desired to move downtown as it was an area full of retail shops and known for heavy foot traffic. She estimated it would increase her profits tenfold. Two days later, Dan contacted Sarah and told her that he had found the perfect building for her clothing boutique. Sarah asked him what he knew about the building. He said that the building was in a prime downtown location, and had been owned for several years by Mary, who had kept the building in excellent condition. When Dan took Sarah to see the building, Sarah noticed several piles of what appeared to be sawdust throughout the building. Mary assured her that the sawdust piles were just shavings from a new kind of wax that Mary recently started experimenting with to make candles (Mary currently used the building to sell designer candles). Mary assured Sarah she had never had any issues with the building, including issues with “pests.” Sarah made an offer of $1,00,000 for the building, and Mary accepted. Escrow closed on January 31. After closing, Sarah spent $10,000 to move her clothing inventory to the building. She also spent an additional $20,000 decorating the inside of the building. A month after moving into the building, Sarah made several discoveries. First, the building was infested with Atlanta Bugs; a rare type of bug that invades the building every year from September to December. The piles of “sawdust” that she saw during the initial viewing of the building, that Mary told her were piles of “wax,” were actually piles of droppings from the Atlanta bugs that had just left for the season. Second, Mary was actually Dan’s sister, and Mary had only owned the building for a year, and was desperate to sell it due to the seasonal Atlanta bug infestation. Dan was aware of all of these facts. After selling the building to Sarah, Dan evenly split the proceeds with Mary, and Dan used his $200,000 to purchase a rental property, that is now worth $500,000. At trial, Sarah has established that Dan and Mary are liable to her in tort and contract. 1. What remedy or remedies may Sarah obtain against Mary? Discuss. 2. What remedy or remedies may Sarah obtain against Dan? Discuss.
