Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kevin held a voidable title since he bought the watch with a fraudulent check that bounced. This means that while Kevin technically had possession of the watch, Knell Watches could void the sale and reclaim ownership of the watch due to Kevin's illegal activity. Therefore, Jonathan's claim to the watch is also illegitimate.
