Seller Breached Exclusivity Agreement for Neighboring Property

A seller of a building, who had also agreed to an exclusivity clause preventing them from selling a neighboring property to anyone but the initial buyer for a specified period, breached this agreement by selling the second property to a third party during the exclusivity window. The court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the seller's appeal, reasoning that the validity of the exclusivity agreement did not depend on the prior sale of the first building and that the breach of the commitment not to compete constituted a fault justifying the buyer's claim for damages.
