Purchaser v. Seller Regarding Deed Transfer Without Full Payment

A purchaser of land, who had not yet paid the full purchase price, brought an action against the seller, who had refused to sign the final deed, seeking judicial authorization to sell the property to a third party, arguing the refusal was an abuse of the seller's right to refuse transfer. The court rejected the claim, reasoning that the seller's right to refuse signing the final deed remained valid until the full price was paid, and absent any clause specifying a deadline for payment, the seller was entitled to refuse the transfer until the contractual obligation to pay the price was fully discharged by the buyer.
