Seller's Refusal to Execute Deed After Payment

The case concerned a dispute arising from a contract for the sale of property, where one party failed to execute the final deed after receiving the purchase price. The lower court had found that the seller's refusal to sign the final deed, despite having received payment, constituted a breach, leading to a judgment ordering specific performance and damages. The appellate court confirmed this decision, emphasizing that the completion of the sale contract, evidenced by the payment and the agreement on the property, obligated the seller to finalize the transfer. Upon review, the high court upheld the lower courts' rulings, reasoning that the failure to execute the final deed following the fulfillment of the essential contractual obligations by the buyer constituted a wrongful refusal that justified the order for specific performance and an award for resulting prejudice.
