Aaron Russell Roesch Missouri Cases

Aaron Roesch sued Brittany Sheffer and Peace, Love, Sold, LLC, seeking to enforce an oral agreement for the sale of real property through a constructive trust. Roesch alleged Sheffer agreed to purchase a property for his benefit and then sell it to him, but later demanded a significantly higher price. The trial court dismissed Roesch's petition, citing the statute of frauds and failure to state a claim. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal, holding that Roesch failed to adequately plead a constructive trust claim because he did not allege Sheffer accepted his tendered payment, which is necessary to establish unjust enrichment.
