H. Leonard Isaacs and Wife v. Zolton Bokor

In this case the petitioners sued respondent claiming damages for alleged tortious misrepresentations and also seeking rescission of two transactions between the parties. Petitioners purchased from respondent a lot in a subdivision of which he was both the owner and the developer. Subsequently, under a separate agreement, respondent had begun to construct a residence for petitioners when it was discovered that the building site was outside the lot which they purchased. Respondent counterclaimed for the unpaid balance of the construction contract, and impleaded as a third-party defendant an architect employed by the petitioners to design their residence and to supervise its construction.
