A party, who had agreed to purchase property and executed a promissory note as part of the payment, later sued to compel the seller to execute the final deed, despite having failed to present the note for payment on the due date, arguing that the seller had implicitly waived the strict deadline by requesting an extension for related construction work; however, the court rejected this claim, reasoning that the failure to present the note for payment on time constituted a breach of the essential obligation to pay, and a unilateral request for a construction extension did not sufficiently establish a mutual waiver of the contractual deadline for the note's payment, thereby justifying the seller's refusal to proceed with the sale.
