A written contract to sell timber rights is performed by both parties. Six
months later, the seller has second thoughts and wants to reclaim the
rights under Regulation Z. What is the likelihood that the seller will
succeed?
Slight, if the seller fells like he was taken advantage of.
Good, because Regulation Z requires the contract be in writing.
Nonexistent, since this contract has nothing to do with a violation or, or compliance with, Regulation Z.
Excellent, because landowners are not allowed to sell timber rights under Regulation Z.

Answer 1

The seller has no likelihood of success in reclaiming the timber rights under Regulation Z, which deals with credit and lending practices rather than timber sale contracts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The likelihood that the seller will succeed in reclaiming the timber rights under Regulation Z is nonexistent. Regulation Z refers to the Truth in Lending Act which primarily deals with credit and lending practices and disclosures, and it does not pertain to contracts concerning the sale of timber rights. Once a written contract for the sale of such rights is performed by both parties, it is legally binding unless there is evidence of fraud, duress, or another legal reason to invalidate the contract. Regulation Z would not provide a basis for the seller to reclaim the timber rights after the contract has been fully executed and without any of the aforementioned legal issues.
