Fred is a realtor selling Katie’s home. Katie filled out the "Property Condition Disclosure" paperwork, and Fred is obligated to disclose present and future disclosures to potential buyers. The property is now under contract to sell to new owners. In a casual conversation however, Katie tells Fred three years ago there was a termite problem but it was eradicated. After checking the paperwork, Fred discovers no indication of this on the disclosure paperwork. Fred is now faced with a(n) ________ dilemma

Answer :

Answer:

Legal dilemma

Explanation:

Legal dilemma is a term used to describe a situation where two legal norms are conflicting. That is, both standards must be obeyed, but the application of one of these standards will cause a loss in the application of another standard. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Fred is required to disclose the property conditions of Katie's house and Katie is required to complete paperwork reporting the property conditions. Katie did not report on the paperwork that the house is with termites, because the house really is not with termites, so Katie obeyed a rule. However, she says the house has had termites before, Fred needs to disclose it (as the standard requires), but this information is not in the paperwork that Katie filled out.
