Wheat Trust v. Sparks

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a jury question remained as to whether the plaintiff reasonably relied on an SPDS where the defendant sellers failed to disclose encroachment of a sewer lateral on the SPDS
• “questions of fraud . . . are, except in plain and indisputable cases, questions for the jury”
• “We will affirm the grant of summary judgment if it is right for any reason.”
• derivative claims for punitive damages 13 and attorney fees survive summary judgment where underlying tort survived
• “An award of attorney fees, costs, or punitive damages is derivative of a plaintiff’s substantive claims.”
• because the trial court erred in granting summary judgment on the substantive fraud claims, the court likewise erred in granting summary judgment on the request for punitive damages and attorney fees as derivative of those claims
