A lower court had ruled that a contract for the sale of land, which was formed after an initial promise to sell, was invalid because the promise, though subject to a condition precedent, lacked the stipulated formal date for the final sale, rendering the transfer of title impossible within the agreed timeframe; however, the highest court overturned this decision, reasoning that the absence of a specified final sale date in the promise to sell did not automatically invalidate the subsequent definitive contract, provided the parties freely consented to the sale under the terms set forth in the promise, even if the condition precedent itself was not met by the initial deadline.
