Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff purchased shares and property rights from the defendant for US$36,000. The shares were later forfeited to the State in criminal proceedings, preventing the defendant from transferring them. The plaintiff rescinded the agreement and seeks a refund of US$34,000, claiming the cause of action arose when forfeiture was confirmed, not when the agreement was signed.
