Property Transfer Contract Termination for Annuity Non-Payment
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract stipulated that a specific piece of property would be transferred upon the payment of a specified annuity, and the payer subsequently ceased making the required payments, leading the beneficiary to seek termination of the contract and repossession of the property based on non-performance; the court held that the non-payment of an annuity stipulated as the consideration for a property transfer constitutes a sufficiently serious breach to warrant contractual termination, even if the contract did not expressly provide for automatic termination upon default, because the obligation to pay the annuity was essential to the reciprocal exchange.
