Contract to Purchase

A 7 page paper discussing the situation in which Betsy
Ross has purchased (and paid in full in cash) a painting for sale at an antique shop. She
asked the shop owner to repair a small tear in the painting as she looked on; they both
became aware of some paper folded into the item, hidden within the frame behind the
painting. That paper appears to be a draft of the Declaration of Independence, written in
Thomas Jefferson's own hand. The shop owner no longer wants to sell the item for the
stated price and has offered to refund Ms. Ross' cash payment of $150. On her refusal,
the shop owner refused to relinquish the painting and all items associated with it. The
paper is a chronology of Ms. Ross' attorney's actions and rationale for them. Bibliography

fictional circumstance in which two landowners with adjoining

commercial building on his property that actually extends into
the other landowner’s property. Because of the extension, the

his own commercial building. The lawyer for the first party is
seeking relief in a court of law knowing that remedies at law are
more stringent than in a court of equity. The second attorney is
seeking assistance to proceed in a court of equity. The
differences between “equity” and “law” are discussed and
different arguments presented. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
