MOORE, J.
An attorney representing the purchaser of stock agreed to act as an escrow holder for the transaction. The seller delivered his stock certificates to the attorney, to be held in escrow. After delays in the closing of the transaction, the seller decided to terminate the sale. He provided to both the purchaser and the attorney a written notice of rescission and demand to return documents. This notwithstanding, the attorney proceeded to close the transaction and to deliver the stock certificates to the transfer agent with instructions to effectuate the transfer of the shares.
