Buyer's Failure to Obtain Permits Justifies Contract Resolution

An individual, having contracted to sell a property with the stipulation that the buyer would secure necessary administrative authorizations for construction within a specified timeframe, sought resolution when the buyer failed to obtain these permits and instead claimed the seller's prior agreement to extend the deadline estopped the seller from enforcing the initial contract terms. The court held that the buyer could not unilaterally invoke a presumed agreement to extend the deadline based on the seller's mere acquiescence to discussions about the extension, especially since the contract explicitly conditioned performance on obtaining the authorizations within the original period, thus the buyer's failure to meet the contractual obligation constituted a breach allowing for contract resolution.
