Helms v. Helms

Douglas, J.,

dissenting. Where the law is in doubt, my mind naturally turns to the great equities of humanity. These are all on the side of the defendant. The plaintiff is seeking to recover land under a contract which he repudiated and for a consideration which he never gave. He is seeking to get something for nothing, and take the land away from those who have done what he should have done, and have paid what he should have paid. I concur in the dissenting opinion of the Chief Justice.
