Preliminary Land Sale Agreement Enforceability
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of land was formed based on a preliminary agreement, but the seller later refused to execute the final deed, arguing the preliminary agreement lacked essential terms regarding the exact dimensions of the property, which were only detailed in a subsequent, unexecuted survey plan. The court held that the preliminary agreement was sufficiently definite to constitute a binding contract because the parties had agreed on the specific plot of land, the price, and the terms of payment, and the reference to the future survey plan was merely to facilitate the final deed's preparation, not to make the essential elements of the sale conditional upon its approval.
