Case Details
When a property owner failed to return attorney Cloutier’s client’s $38,750.00 deposit paid toward the purchase of a home, attorney Cloutier effectively leveraged the facts, applicable law and a pending lawsuit to compel the property owner to return the full deposit, plus attorney’s fees.
Additional Notes
The dispute arose out of the property owner’s failure to deliver the premises and deed to attorney Cloutier’s client by the time specified in the purchase and sale agreement. Despite the clear language of the purchase and sale agreement authorizing the return of the deposit, the property owner attempted to argue that attorney Cloutier’s client breached the purchase and sale agreement and thus forfeited his deposit. It did not take attorney Cloutier long to convince the property owner otherwise by highlighting the contract terms and applicable law.
