Idaho Supreme Court Judgment Protects Idaho Property Owner From Land Speculator.
MEIKLE V. WATSON.
Jeff Sykes successfully defended a property owner against a claim that he was required to sell certain property to a speculative land developer who had convinced elderly individuals to sell their property for less than fair market value. After a trial and appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court, our client obtained a judgment affirming the legal principle that a speculative land buyer may not specifically enforce a real estate contract and awarding him attorneys’ fees.
