13 Ky. Op. 318 | Ky. Ct. App. | 1885
Opinion by
Duncan, the original plaintiff in this action, by his amended pleading concedes that the appellant, Craycraft, is the real party in intent and entitled to enforce the lien. The notes are his as Duncan distinctly avers, and the result of the litigation affects Craycraft and not Duncan. The appellees, except Duncan, insisted on the rescission of the contract, and their ancestor being a feme covert at the time she gave the notes, there was nothing left to be done, so far as appellees are concerned, but to rescind the contract.
A rescission having been adjudged, the chancellor should have placed Craycraft, who stood in the shoes of Duncan, in possession. He was entitled either- to the notes or the land, and complete equity could be done all the parties in no other way. It is now claimed
On the return of the cause the appellees may retain the land by satisfying Craycraft’s demands, and if not, Craycraft should be placed in possession. Judgment reversed and remanded for proceedings consistent with the opinion.
