Description

CAYTON, Chief Judge. Victor R. Messall, described as a public relations counsel, was sued in the trial court for the return
of a fee of $2500 which he had received from George A. Efron, an alien who was present in this country under a temporary displaced
person's visa. The claim of plaintiff was that Messall had misrepresented that he was a lawyer, had misrepresented that he
could and would counsel, advise, and represent plaintiff and his wife in 'all matters pertaining to his and his wife remaining
in, and their admittance to, the United States for permanent residence;' also that defendant had misrepresented that he could
and would have the names of plaintiff and his wife included in a displaced persons bill then pending in Congress, and could
and would get them admitted to this country for permanent residence. Plaintiff alleged that upon learning that the representations
were false he dismissed defendant and demanded the return of the $2500. Defendant filed an answer denying all charges of misrepresentation, alleging that he had undertaken only to exert his best
efforts to obtain the legislative relief that 'would achieve for plaintiff a permanent residence in the United States.' He
also alleged that plaintiff had paid him a retainer or 'advance payment' of $2500 with the understanding that if successful
results were obtained an additional sum would be payable.
