Party A: A major department store finds that it has in inventory a blouse that has been damaged.
A seam has came unstitched and it is missing a button. The blouse is put on a bargain counter and listed at a discounted price.
Party B: Purchases the blouse knowing it has been discounted because it is a second. She has a seamstress friend who can make the repairs.
Party C: The seamstress sows the seam and replaces all of the buttons because she was unable match the one missing.
Party B; After a period of time becomes tired of the blouse and donates it to the Salvation Army Thrift Store.
Party D: The Thrift Store displays the blouse for purpose of sell.
Party E: Sees the blouse and recognizes from a photo in a tabloid magazine (Party F ) that it resembles the blouse Princess Diana was wearing the night she was killed. Party E purchases the blouse and lists it on a major auction web-site (Party G) as Princess Di’s blouse using a scan of the photo in the tabloid magazine in the listing process.
Party H: wins the blouse in the in the auction, then finds it is not the true blouse worn by Princess Dianna.
She sues all of the parties naming them “Singularly and Severally” as defendants.
All have obviously been involved in a fraud. You be the jury. Which parties are guilty of committing fraud?
