Dear all,
I'd be most grateful for any cases or other material you can recommend
relating to the following hypothetical.
Suppose that:
1. A acquires an asset. Due to the professional negligence of A's
adviser, their acquisition is voidable.
2. A subsequently sells the asset to B, who is aware of the
voidability of A's title to the asset when B buys the asset. (The deed
of transfer is sufficiently widely drafted to transfer any cause of
action A may have had for professional negligence.)
3. B's title is subsequently avoided.
Could B sue A's professional advisers in contract or tort for the loss
B suffered?
Many thanks.
Ger
