Doige's Case

Line: 64 to 64
 Simpson emphasizes the importance of the decision of a vendor disabling himself from performing a contract. He states that “it is clear that after the decision in Doige’s Case, it was settled fifteenth-century law that deceit only lay against a vendor if he had so disabled himself.”

Benjamin Geva also mentions that Newton CJ’s dicta that ‘if I bail a certain sum of money to Paston to bail over to Fortescue, now, if Paston does not do this, he will be liable to me in an action of Account and also in an action of Debt’ became a prominent piece of support that “a bailee who has failed to deliver money to the beficiary is chargeable to the bailor, not only in Account, but also in Debt.”
