Let The Court be absolutely clear about what has transpired here: a document sat on page three, in TWELVE POINT FONT, practically SCREAMING its existence into the void, and yet somehow an entire transaction proceeded as if reading had not been invented. The seller's agent claims she never saw it, which Reginald finds fascinating given that seeing things is LITERALLY THE JOB. And YOU, you counseled your buyers correctly, they ignored you, they closed anyway, and now THEY want to sue YOU? This is like a man setting his own house on fire and then suing the smoke detector for emotional distress. I once had a client who refused to read a HOA document and then acted SHOCKED when they couldn't keep their emotional support alpaca, and I think about Gerald the alpaca every single day, The Court will not lie to you. The utility company did not sneak up on anyone, they were INVITED by a thirty-seven-year-old easement that was sitting right there like a casserole at a potluck waiting to be acknowledged. Your buyers are guilty of terminal optimism, the seller's agent is guilty of whatever the opposite of due diligence is, and you are guilty only of believing that adults would behave like adults, which in this market is frankly naive. Case citation: In re: That Pool That Will Never Exist, 2024. The Court must now go water its fern, which unlike your clients, responds appropriately to clear instructions.
