Seller Revocation of Unilateral Real Property Offer Before Acceptance Communication

The case concerned a dispute arising from a promise to sell real property, where the prospective buyer, after accepting the offer, subsequently sought to enforce the sale despite the seller having revoked the offer before the acceptance was known to the buyer, claiming the revocation was invalid because it occurred during the deadline given for acceptance. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that a unilateral promise to sell does not become irrevocable merely by granting a deadline for acceptance; rather, the seller remains free to revoke the offer at any time before the acceptance has been communicated to them, as the binding agreement only materializes upon mutual consent, which requires knowledge of the acceptance by the offeror.
