Lisa’s concern about marketability

Assume instead that Melissa responds to Lisa’s concern about marketability simply by agreeing to release praying from the contract and returning his deposit period two months later Melissa sells the property to Lone Star gas for $700,000. Lone Star gas immediately brings a quiet title action to address the issue of melissa’s rights in the oil, gas, and minerals, and the court determines how the right to transfer as a result of adverse possession. Lonestar does some testing and confirms that there is a large natural gas reserve in the shell beneath the property, making the property worth at least $4 million.

Can frank sue Lisa for making him miss out on a lost opportunity? After all, if he closed on the contract with Melissa, he would own a highly valuable natural gas property.

  1. Suppose that a closing Lisa, instead of worrying about the lack of marketable title, simply reviewed the facts and agreed that Melissa did have a right to convey the full fee simple absolute title to the property, including rates to oil, gas, and minerals. As a result of Lisa’s conclusion, frank closes on the purchase. Two days later, Anthony sues frank to quiet title to his reserved rights. Anthony sues because Lone Star gas surprised him with an offer to buy his rights for $400,000, provided he can demonstrate a good title.
  2. Lonestar is acquiring oil, gas, and mineral rights from a number of property owners in the area, as it plans to undertake a major hydrofracking operation. Assume that the court determines that Anthony has a valid reservation and that Melissa did not acquire those rights by adverse possession or any other means. In such a case, can frank sue Lisa for damages as a result of Lisa being wrong about the marketability of melissa’s title to the property at the time of closing?

The U.S. is in the midst of one of the world’s most challenging pandemics

The U.S. is in the midst of one of the world’s most challenging pandemics. Few have been unaffected by this virus, professionally, socially, and economically. We have lost more Americans to this virus than some of our wars, even when added together. We are in an economic recession, facing a depression. Warding off mental health issues has been a challenge.

What has been our response to this crisis? Have we met the challenge the way any modern, experienced public health system should? How are other nations doing? Have we done as we have so many times before with H1N1, HIV, and Ebola to mitigate spread and damage by this Covid-19 threat?

Assess our situation. Review our systems, organizations, and ourselves. How did generations before you manage the war years? WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Mideast? How was earlier pandemics managed? The Great Depression? Some of these events went on for years. This virus has been here for only months and some seem unable to even wear a mask or avoid large gatherings. What if we had that attitude during WWII when rationing was in effect? What is our future? What have we done right? Where could we have done more or better? Where are our successes? Failures? What can we and should we be doing now?

Which court possesses subject matter and personal jurisdiction as well as the venue?

Which court possesses subject matter and personal jurisdiction as well as the venue? The firm’s client, who lives in Los Angeles, was flying from Los Angeles to Georgia on a direct flight. During the flight, the client attempted to use the restroom. When he opened the bathroom door, he interrupted a man who was on the toilet, sparking a violent confrontation between the client and the man. During the ruckus, both your firm’s client and the man who was originally using the toilet throw punches.

When the plane lands, the police charge your client with assault in Georgia. However, your firm’s client believes that Georgia is not the proper venue as he should be charged under the law of California or the law of the state over which plane was flying when the fight occurred. According to the flight records, the plane was flying over Tennessee and Alabama when the flight occurred.
