Georgia Court of Appeals, 1935

Wyse v. McKinney

Wyse v. McKinney
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided April 30, 1935 · Bboyles, Gtjekry
51 Ga. App. 204; 179 S.E. 860; 1935 Ga. App. LEXIS 627

Wyse v. McKinney

Dissenting Opinion

Gtjekry, J.,

dissenting. A rescission for fraud must show an offer to rescind as soon as the fraud is discovered. In my opinion the answer was defective in this respect and was subject to the demurrers interposed. Furthermore, the defendant had sold the property to third parties, and could not rescind by putting the parties in statu quo. I think that the Coral Gables Corporation case, cited in the majority opinion, is distinguished by its facts from this case.

Opinion of the Court

Bboyles, C. J.

Under the facts of this case, and the rulings in Coral Cables Corporation v. Hamilton, 168 Ga. 182 (147 S. E. 494), the demurrers to the answer as amended were properly overruled; and the court did not err in directing a verdict in favor of the defendant.

Judgment affirmed.

MacIntyre, J., concurs. Guerry, J., dissents.
