United States First Circuit


Coffill v. Coffill, 10-1976

In an appeal from a judgment of the district court dismissing plaintiff's action seeking to rescind two mortgages encumbering titles to her properties and other equitable relief for failure to state a claim, judgment is reversed where the court erred in concluding, without evidentiary hearing or basis, that delegation of power of attorney was effective as judicially corrected for what it saw as apparent scrivener's error.
