NATURE OF THE CASE: Betsy (P) appealed from a reversal of a trial decision in favor P in
P's action unjust enrichment and fraud, in which Ps were seeking conveyance of the farm or,
in the alternative, restitution.
FACTS: Ds promised Ps he would convey the farm to them when they 'hit diamond.' There was
no evidence that Ps 'hit diamond. P contends that in a conversation by telephone with her, D
made a promise to her that he had no intention of keeping, that he made this representation
to keep her working on the farm and making the mortgage payments, and that she reasonably
relied on this false representation to her injury. P contends the false promise was made
when she asked D to put their contract in writing and he told her he was forming a
corporation and asked how she would like to be issued stock in the corporation each time she
made a payment on the loan. P contends she relied on this promise and stayed on the farm to
her injury. P sued D for unjust enrichment and fraud. P got the verdict and D appealed and
the decision was reversed and then P appealed.
