Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kevin, who bought the watch with a fraudulent check that bounced, did not acquire a valid title to the watch. Therefore, Jonathan, who purchased the watch from Kevin, only has a voidable title, meaning that the true owner (Steve) has the right to void the sale and reclaim the watch. However, if Jonathan purchased the watch in good faith and for a fair value, he may have some legal rights to the watch under certain circumstances.
