Land Sale Contract Breach and Termination
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of land stipulated a completion date, and the seller, who subsequently received a formal notice to complete, waited until after the deadline to present the signed deed to the buyer, who was then entitled to terminate the agreement; the Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision finding that the seller's failure to execute the deed within the stipulated time, even if slightly delayed, constituted a breach justifying the buyer's unilateral termination, as the date specified in the agreement was deemed essential to the parties' consent.
