out-of-pocket rule in California

2022The right to recover additional damages does not refer to the measure of damages, but, rather, to such matters as expenses or other consequential injury resulting from the fraud. [Citations.]” (Bagdasarian v. Gragnon (1948) 31 Cal.2d 744, 762-763 .) Where a seller induces a purchase by fraud, but the market value of the property is equal to the price, the out-of-pocket rule prohibits the buyer from recovering the purchase price.

1989Douglas relies on Bagdasarian v. Gragnon (1948) 31 Cal.2d 744, 762 [ 192 P.2d 935 ], in which the Supreme Court held that section 3343 requires the exclusive use of the out-of-pocket rule as a measure of damages for fraud.

2007(Alliance Mortgage Co. v. Rothwell, supra, 10 Cal.4th at pp. 1240-1241.) The out-of-pocket rule “ ‘is directed to restoring the plaintiff to the financial position enjoyed by him prior to the fraudulent transaction, and thus awards the difference in actual value at the time of the transaction between what the plaintiff gave and what he received.’ ” (Id. at p. 1240, quoting Stout v. Turney (1978) 22 Cal.3d 718, 725 [ 150 Cal.Rptr. 637 , 586 P.2d 1228 ].) CIBC contends respondents (1) did not show that CIBC’s conduct was the proximate cause of their losses, and (2) failed to provide adequate evi

1989Thereafter, in Coleman v. Ladd Ford Co. (1963) 215 Cal.App.2d 90 [ 29 Cal.Rptr. 832 ], the Court of Appeal created a new exception to the Bagdasarian interpretation of section 3343, relying on the Supreme Court’s departure from the out-of-pocket rule in Ward .

2021(Croeni v. Goldstein (1994) 21 Cal.App.4th 754, 759 (Croeni).) The amendment “permitted lost profits as an element of damages in appropriate cases to correct ‘certain logical inconsistencies [that] existed between the judicial application of [former section 3343] and that of other enactments dealing with the measure of damages for fraud.’ [Citation.] For example, in fraud cases not involving the purchase, sale or exchange of property, lost profits were available under the general tort recovery statute, section 3333, or under section 3300 in breach of contract cases, and full ‘benefit-of-the-ba

2014If the stock purchased by the plaintiff in reliance on the fraudulent misrepresentation (or concealment) was, at the time of the purchase, actually worth what the plaintiff paid for it, the plaintiff was not damaged by the purchase “for even though [it] would not have bought [the shares] had [it] known the truth, [it] nevertheless received property as valuable as that with which [it] parted.” (Gagne v. Bertran (1954) 43 Cal.2d 481, 491 [discussing the rule in the context of a purchase of land].) In this case, Pricaspian failed to establish recoverable damages for Homm’s fraud (which would be i

1989In Coleman, the court declared fraud damages could be recovered under an alternative and cumulative “ ‘loss of bargain’ rule.” (Id. at pp. 93, 94; cited in Stout v. Turney, supra, 22 Cal.3d at p. 726; see Hartman v. Shell Oil Co. (1977) 68 Cal.App.3d 240, 246-247 [ 137 Cal.Rptr. 244 ].) “Both Ward and Coleman evidence the courts’ concern over the mechanical application of the ‘out of pocket’ rule required by the Bagdasarian interpretation of section 3343.” (Notes (1964) 11 UCLA L.Rev. 859, 884.) 32 Douglas, pointing to the words “would perhaps” in the Legislative Counsel’s comment to section 2
