Where a sale took place between a client and his agent, as seller and purchaser, which was fair and reasonable and otherwise free from objection, but for the ingredient that the client had not been made aware that the real purchaser was the agent, the purchase being made in the name of another.- Held that the sale fell to be reduced, although the non-disclosure did not arise from fraud.
Circumstances where (revg. the Court of Session) a sale by a client to an agent was reduced, on the ground that there had been no disclosure of the fact that the purchase was in part made for the latter himself.
Circumstances which were held (revg. the Court of Session) sufficient to impress the character of agent upon one who had occasionally acted for a trust.
