question archive Review Critical Legal Thinking Case 17 on page 310 of the textbook entitled United States v
Subject:BusinessPrice:2.87 Bought7
Answer:
Michaels wins in court.
Explanation:
Interestingly, in this case John Torniero was employed by Michaels Jewelries. Later John stole Jewelries from Michael and sold to G&W Watch and Jewelries Cooperation. Later Michaels founds out and tries to recover his Jewelries from G&W.
However, G&W claimed title to the jewelry as a good faith purchaser for value, which led to the lawsuit by Michaels.
Remember, in business law there is a provision for a buyer to claim title to a good he bought in good faith (with sincerity) from a seller who misrepresents or has voidable title.
However, in this case Michaels wins since he is the original owner (has valid title) of the goods and his title cannot be made void by G&W claims.
