Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Connecticut

property

If someone signs a paper stating they will sign a title over to you and then doesn't want to can I still win this one? He has threatened to bring a cop to remove the bike can he do that?

Re: property

Your question is not clear. But if I'm right, you have the bike and he has the title in his name. There is a piece of paper he signed stating he will sign it over, but he hasn't.

The bike remains his at this point. You may have a "contract" of some sort (although I haven't actually reviewed it)that may give you a cause of action against him. He agreed to sign over title and he breached that agreement by not doing so. Can you win? I don't know, I haven't seen the "contract."

When two people enter into a valid contract, they each agree to give up something. He agreed to give up the bike, what did you agree to give up? Money?

I suspect if the cop shows up, he/she will look at the title and tell you to give him the bike.
