Pet pig


Reference: "Pet Pig Farm." Marcy wanted to buy Lucy's land and use it to breed small pigs to be kept as pets. Marcy told Lucy that having water on the property was very important although she did not mention to Lucy her plan to breed small pigs. Lucy assured her that a spring ran through one corner of the property. Therefore, Marcy agreed to buy the farm. Marcy, who loved pigs, assumed that the neighbors would be pleased with the pigs being in the area. Lucy also agreed to sell Marcy a used truck for $5,000. After the contract for the land sale was entered into, it was discovered that actually the spring did not run through the corner of Lucy's property. The area in which the spring ran actually belonged to a neighbor. Additionally, when Lucy brought Marcy the used truck, Marcy said, "That's not the truck!" It was discovered that Lucy, who had two trucks, thought that Marcy had bought the older truck when Marcy thought she had purchased the newer truck. Marcy was also surprised when she received a petition signed by all surrounding landowners objecting to the presence of the pigs and threatening to sue Marcy for nuisance. It will cost Marcy more than she had agreed to pay Lucy in order for Marcy to obtain a similar farm which actually has a spring on it. Which of the following is the most likely result in the dispute between Marcy and Lucy regarding which used truck was sold assuming that both Marcy and Lucy were innocently mistaken and did not intend to defraud the other?
