ASSIGNMENT: FACTS and LAW
You, the paralegal, are assigned the task of conducting research in order to eventually prepare a legal memorandum). You decide to create AN
EXPANDED OUTLINE in order to organize your research. The FACTS and LAW of the case are as follows:
FACTS: Mary was Tom's stockbroker and financial advisor. Tom owned five acres of property. Mary advised Tom to sell the property to Ana at a price
slightly below the market price. She recommended that Tom buy stock with the proceeds. Tom sold the property to Ana and now wants to have the
transaction set aside because he believes Mary unduly and improperly influenced his decision. Mary and Ana are very close friends.
LAW: (You do not have to look up this law as they are generic and created for this project)
Statutory Law - Section 96-4-4-1 of the "state" statutes provides that a contract for the sale of land may be set aside if it is entered into
under undue influence
Case Law - Lom v. Bell. In a fact situation similar to Tom's, the court ruled that under Section 96-4-4-1, undue influence occurs when:

2. The person influenced is influenced to enter the contract.
3. The opportunity to influence is present
4. Undue influence is present
5. The person exercising the undue influence benefits from the undue influence.
