Fraud Case

. The conduct of the salesperson definitely constitutes fraud. There was a reliance on the salesperson’s statement when he said that the car had never been in a wreck. If Lester had known the truth about the car being in a wreck he would have known that the car was worth much less than the value he paid for it. The car had a much lower value because it was in a wreck. This is also an issue of negligent misrepresentation. The salesperson told a negligently made false statement to Lester. The salesperson failed to exercise due care regarding material information communicated to the listener but did not intend to deceive. The salesperson failed to make sure that the car had never been in a wreck and he said “No. it has never been in a wreck.” However, the salesperson had never seen the car before that morning and he knew nothing of its history. The salesperson committed negligent misrepresentation. I would rule in favor of Lester.

Gorsuch definitely committed fraud. He knew from the beginning that the ticket and postcards had a significant monetary value. In addition, it doesn’t make any since for Gorsuch to tell Westby that the ticket and postcards were “worth nothing” then give Westby $1,000 for both the ticket and the postcard album. If they are truly been worthless then he wouldn’t have gave Westby $1,000 for them. In addition, Gorsuch was a major buyer in antiques and collectibles in the Puget Sound area and he would have had an understanding of the value of the ticket and postcards. Gorsuch knew that the items were worth a lot of money and he choose not to tell Westby their actual value. Moreover, Gorsuch knew that he was telling Westby false statements about the value of the ticket and postcards. He knew that it was a lie when he told Westby that the ticket and post cards were “worth nothing”. Gorsuch committed fraud. I would rule in favor of Westby in this
