Fact-pattern

For, the classic fact-pattern of mistake as to identity involves the defendant fraudulently representing to the complainant that he is X, obtaining goods on credit, selling those goods to Y, a bona fide purchaser for value without notice, and then absconding.

The fact-pattern should not be read in one sitting and should not only be read once.

Consider a fact-pattern that goes into elaborate detail about the citizenship of each of the parties, and how the amount in dispute in the litigation exceeds $75,000 exclusive of interests and costs.
