Molly wants to buy a vacant lot that is for sale in her neighborhood. The problem is that she had a skirmish with the current owner, Ben, over his dog barking at all hours of the night. Molly asks Sam if he will purchase the lot on her behalf without
telling Ben that she will be the true owner. Sam agrees and reaches an agreement with Ben. A few months after the purchase, Molly begins to do some work on the lot. Ben sees her and asks what she is doing. Molly tells him that she was the true purchaser. Ben becomes furious and yells at her that he will have the sale rescinded and sue both Molly and Sam for fraud. What will be the likely result if Ben sues Molly and Sam?
Ben will lose as to both Molly and Sam because an agent may lawfully conceal the existence of a principal.
