In what circumstances will a plaintiff receive fair value for consenting to the possession of an unclaimed property?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Martin v. Kehl, 145 Cal.App.3d 228, 193 Cal.Rptr. 312 (Cal. App. 1983):
2 Hamud v. Hawthorne (1959) 52 Cal.2d 78, 338 P.2d 387, cited by defendant, is inapposite. In Hamud, unlike here, the plaintiff received fair value for consenting to defendant's possession and only sued years later after the value had increased because an oil company had expressed interest in it.
