Nelson v. Harkness

1 Citing case

  1. Hoffman v. Connall

    43 Wn. App. 532 (Wash. Ct. App. 1986)   Cited 5 times

    The fact the Connalls made no representations directly to the Hoffmans does not matter; the misinformation was originally supplied to Mr. Huggins by the owners, and he had authority to state the area of the parcel. See Alexander Myers, at 454-55; see also Gnash v. Saari, 44 Wn.2d 312, 320-21, 267 P.2d 674 (1954); Yarnall v. Knickerbocker Co., 120 Wn. 205, 208-09, 206 P. 936 (1922); Nelson v. Harkness, 8 Wn. App. 569, 508 P.2d 173 (1973). Moreover, Mrs. Connall was not absolved from liability merely because she was not the source of the misrepresentations; her former husband and Mr. Huggins had apparent authority to act on her behalf in terms of the community when representing the location of boundaries.
