A plaintiff, having been promised payment of a debt upon the sale of a property by the debtor, sued to recover the amount after the sale occurred, arguing the promise constituted a binding commitment to pay. The court rejected the claim, reasoning that the promise to pay upon a future event, without any indication of a fixed term or any other binding element, did not create a legally enforceable obligation but was merely a declaration of intent dependent on the realization of that future event, which, if not tied to a stipulated deadline or explicit commitment, does not constitute a contract of debt.
