Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

Sarah may be out of luck unless she sues Olson, but even that may or may not work depending upon the historical details and contractual language in the option to purchase document, neither of which you have provided to me. Sarah has many options when she sues including monetary damages, rescission/restitution, or specific performance. However, the apparent final sale to the new buyer complicates the specific performance option if he does not want to give the property back, since he may qualify as a "holder in due course," who may not have had any notice of Sarah's claim when he took title. This might protect him from the suit. Sarah therefore needs to decide whether she is prepared for such a court battle, can afford it, or how badly she wants the house, as opposed to money damages.
