Stambovsky v. Ackley (NY 1991)

Plaintiff sues defendant for selling him a house without disclosing the existence of a poltergeist on the premises. Whether the ghost actually exists or not is only briefly mentioned, and only in the dissent. The decision is full of bad puns (in addition to the obligatory legalese I don't entirely get).

(Thanks to "Foxtrot" for the link.)

We read that decision in Property class.

I checked Foxtrot but can't find where they talk about it, or the page links to it. I wanna see!

i'm not overly familiar with judicial decision documents and such...do they often quote Shakespeare?
