Nature Of The Case

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Facts

Ds promised Ps he would convey the farm to them when they 'hit diamond.' There was no evidence that Ps 'hit diamond. P contends that in a conversation by telephone with her, D made a promise to her that he had no intention of keeping, that he made this representation to keep her working on the farm and making the mortgage payments, and that she reasonably relied on this false representation to her injury. P contends the false promise was made when she asked D to put their contract in writing, and he told her he was forming a corporation and asked how she would like to be issued stock in the corporation each time she made a payment on the loan. P contends she relied on this promise and stayed on the farm to her injury. P sued D for unjust enrichment and fraud. P got the verdict and D appealed, and the decision was reversed, and then P appealed.
