Chamberlain v. Wakefield

In Chamberlain v. Wakefield (1949) 95 Cal. App. 2d 280, buyers of a hotel lease were unable to restore possession of the premises to the sellers, because the landlords had precluded the sellers from occupying the hotel. The court held that rescission of the transaction was proper, notwithstanding the buyers' inability to restore the premises, because for other reasons the lease had no value anyway. ( Id. at p. 290.)
