Write a Case Brief on Clara Wonjung Lee, DDS$,$ Ltd$.$v$.$Robles using any information shown below AND$/$OR from outside resources. Follow the EXACT format of the Sample Case Brief shown below. INFO: Clara Lee contracted to purchase Rosalina Robles's dental practice in Chicago, Illinois, for $$267,000.$ After Lee took over the practice, Chicago Magazine and other local media revealed that one of the dentists at Robles's practice had treated underage prostitutes in the offices after hours. Federal authorities were investigating that dentist for this and other misconduct. Lee sued Robles for fraud, alleging that she had deliberately withheld information about the dentist and the investigation. An Illinois state court awarded rescission, and the holding was affirmed on appeal. The appellate court reasoned that the parties' agreement for the sale of the dental practice required Robles to disclose "any material information." The duty to disclose included actions by a "governmental agency that materially alters the desirability or economic potential of the assets." SAMPLE CASE BRIEF: Student Name:
