January 20, 187455 N.Y. 456

Summary

The Court affirmed the order granting a new trial to the plaintiffs, holding that the plaintiffs retained a perfect right to rescind the fraudulent sale and that the defendants were not protected by equitable estoppel. The Court further concluded that no statutory or common‑law exceptions applied to give the defendants a better title. Accordingly, judgment for the plaintiffs was entered.
