Buyer's Withdrawal from Land Contract and Deposit Retention

A party who contracted to purchase land, having made a down payment, subsequently sought to withdraw from the agreement, leading to a dispute over the retention of the deposit by the seller. The court affirmed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the unilateral declaration of withdrawal by the buyer, without legally valid justification, constituted a breach of the commitment to purchase, thereby allowing the seller to rightfully retain the deposit paid as damages for the non-performance of the contract.
