Ramsey v. Mading

Plaintiffs, as vendees of certain residential property in Seattle, brought this action for rescission of the executed contract of sale. They alleged that, after taking possession of the premises, the house was found to be in a dilapidated condition. They asserted, as a basis for rescission, that they were the victims of fraud and duress, and that the vendors took an unconscionable advantage of plaintiffs’ disabilities and lack of experience. These allegations were denied by defendants. After a trial to the court, a judgment was entered dismissing the action. Plaintiffs have appealed.
