FINDINGS OF FACT
Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.
The stipulations of the parties, with accompanying exhibits, are
incorporated herein by this reference.
Gerald and Kathleen Chamales (petitioners) are married and
resided in Los Angeles, California, at the time of filing their
petition in this case. In the spring of 1994, petitioners became
interested in purchasing a residence in Brentwood Park, an
exclusive Los Angeles neighborhood. They were attracted to the
beautiful, parklike setting and the quiet peacefulness of the
area. Subsequently, on June 2, 1994, petitioners opened escrow
on property located in Brentwood Park, at 359 North Bristol
Avenue. They were represented in this transaction by Jay Solton
(Solton), a real estate agent with more than 20 years of
experience. Solton’s work focused on sales of properties in the
Westwood, Brentwood, Palisades, and Santa Monica areas of Los
Angeles.
At the time petitioners opened escrow, O.J. Simpson
(Simpson) owned and resided at the property located directly west
of and adjacent to that being purchased by petitioners.
Simpson’s address was 360 North Rockingham Avenue. Both parcels
were corner lots, bounded on the north by Ashford Street. The
rear or westerly side of petitioners’ land abutted the rear or
easterly side of the Simpson property.
