Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Eleanor Erica Strong (plaintiff) owned 800 shares in the Philippine Sugar Estates Development Company. Francisco Repide (defendant) was a director, the administrator general, and owned three-fourths of the company’s stock. Repide was secretly negotiating the sale of the company’s lands (its primary asset) to the U.S. government, a deal that would significantly increase the stock’s value. While these negotiations were ongoing and known to him, Repide, through an agent (Sloan, who used a third party, Kauffman, to approach Strong’s agent, Jones), purchased Strong’s shares without disclosing his identity or the status of the negotiations. Strong’s agent, Jones, was unaware of Repide’s identity as the purchaser or the advanced state of the land sale negotiations, which were material to the stock’s value. Repide took active steps to conceal his identity and his knowledge. After the stock purchase, the sale of the lands was completed at a price that greatly enhanced the value of the shares. Strong sued to rescind the sale of her stock, alleging fraud.
