HARDY V. BURROUGHS
251 Mich. 578, 232 N.W. 200 (1930)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action to recover the value of improvements made to
property following an ejectment. Appealed. Burroughs (D) appealed from a decision, which
declined to dismiss Hardy's (P) complaint.
FACTS: The Hardys (P), by mistake, built a house on land owned by Burroughs (D) which was
under land sale contract to the Tanhersleys (D). D took possession of the house over P, and
refused to compensate P for the value of the house. P does not allege any fraud or
misconduct on D's part. Acknowledging that there is no action at law, P sued in equity to
recover the value of the house. D moved to dismiss the complaint. The motion was denied, and
D appeals.
