Hurd v. Bickford

27 A. 107 (1892)

Facts

P owned the property and sold it to Gross but that purchase was fraudulent as to P. Gross was indebted to D for medical services at the time of the P-Gross fraudulent transaction. Gross gave D a note on time for such a debt. D then purchased the property from Gross in lieu of payment on the note. D was ignorant of any fraud by Gross in acquiring the property from P. The court instructed the jury that if the purchase from P was fraudulent, then D would not be a bona fide purchaser for value. P got the verdict and D appealed.
