Anita and Duncan had been partners for many years in a mercantile business. Their relationship deteriorated to the point at which Anita threatened to bring an action for an accounting and dissolution of the firm. Duncan then offered to buy Anita’s interest in the partnership for $250,000. Anita refused the offer and told Duncan that she would take no less than $360,000. A short time later, James approached Duncan and informed him he had inside information that a proposed street change would greatly benefit the business and that he, James, would buy the entire business for $1 million or buy a one-half interest for $500,000. Duncan made a final offer of $350,000 to Anita for her interest. Anita accepted this offer, and the transaction was completed. Duncan then sold the one-half interest to James for $500,000. Several months later, Anita learned for the first time of the transaction between Duncan and James. What rights, if any, does Anita have against Duncan?

The Warners paid the Archers $200,000 and executed a promissory note for the remaining $100,000. After the Warners failed to make the first payment on the $100,000 promissory note, the Archers sued for the payment in state court. The Warners then filed for bankruptcy of the Bankruptcy Code. The Archers claimed that the $100,000 debt was nondischargeable because it was for “money obtained by fraud.” Arlene Warner claimed that the $100,000 debt was dischargeable in bankruptcy because it was a new debt for money promised in a settlement contract and thus it was not a debt for money obtained by fraud.a.
