PART II: ESSAYS (RECOMMENDED: ONE HOUR EACH)This sectiоn cоntаins twо essаys. Essаy 1 (60 Minutes) In September 2019, Mattie and Fran orally agreed to jointly purchase a small single-family home in Humboldt, California for $200,000. Mattie contributed $100,000 of her own money and Fran contributed $100,000; however, unbeknownst to Mattie, Fran had stolen this money from her former business partner, Ted. Mattie and Fran agreed to put the property in Fran's name alone because Mattie had creditors seeking to enforce debts against her due to prior business ventures that had gone south. Mattie and Fran further agreed that Fran would occupy the property, and that if and when Fran vacated the property, she would sell it and give Mattie one half of the net proceeds. Fran executed a valid written contract with the seller of the property and shortly thereafter began occupying the property. In January 2020 Ted, Fran’s former business partner, was audited by the IRS. During the audit he discovered that Fran had stolen $100,000 from him while they were business partners. Ted was irate but not surprised, as when he and Fran dissolved their business relationship in August 2019, he believed he was missing a substantial amount of money from his business account, and he suspected Fran might be responsible. In June 2020, Fran sold the property, obtaining $600,000 in net proceeds. Fran offered to repay Mattie her $100,000 contribution, but Mattie demanded $300,000. Fran refused. Fran then used $200,000 of the net proceeds to buy a duplex in San Diego and left the remaining $400,000 in her bank account. Mattie sues Fran for conversion. Ted also sues Fran for conversion. At trial, the court found Fran liable to both Mattie and Ted for conversion. 1.

What remedy or remedies can Ted obtain against Fran for conversion, and what defenses (if any) can Fran raise? Discuss.
