A defendant is liable for fraud themselves if they had a "reason to expect" transmission when they made a misrepresentation to one person intending that it be repeated and acted upon by the buyer as the seller has. In Geernaert v. Mitchell, Gerald and his wife Pamela brought an action for damages against two defendants who had formerly owned their home. The property has had three separate owners before Gerald and his wife. The plaintiffs alleged fraudulent misrepresentation and concealment regarding significant structural and foundation problems with the property. Defendant, Robert J. Mitchell owned the property from May 1978 until October 1982, that's when he sold the property to defendant Mildo Construction Inc. Mildo Construction sold the property in November 1983 to Cynthia Payne, who then sold the property to the Geernaerts in July 1984. In 1991 a soil engineering report disclosed that the house was built on unconsolidated fill, that substantial soil subsidence had occurred, and that perimeter piers and metal jacks had been installed underneath the house to support the foundation. The Geernaerts allege that when Mitchell sold the house in 1982, he falsely made frequently misrepresentation to purchasers that (a) the foundation was supported by jacks, which was normal for the area, (b) there were no foundation problems, (c) the residence was sound, and (d) all modifications were done to …show more content…

Mitchell made the foregoing misrepresentations of fact to and concealed the true facts from Mildo/Perlow when he sold the house to them with the intent of inducing them to purchase it. Mitchell intended or had reason to expect that the misrepresentations and half-truths would be repeated to subsequent purchasers of the residents who would rely on them. The Court held that despite Mitchell was two sales removed from the plaintiff, he used his construction expertise to conceal the true condition of the property and knew there was a strong likelihood that the deception would be passed on to a subsequent

This is relevant, but the focus should have been more around the RWS and BCF vs EAG case, held by Minnesota Supreme Court in 2009. The factors of intent involved in this case mirrored those of Abigail v. Bertha, which incorporates the contract stating the intended parents in a traditional surrogacy. In both cases, the intended parent is stated, and in RWS and BCF v. EAG, the gay couple won. The only difference is that the gay couple were ruled the biological parents because one of the men donated his sperm, whereas Abigail did not have a biological relationship with the twin boys.

    The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing
