Buyer's Failure to Demand Documents Precludes Breach Claim Against Seller for Unilateral Rescission

A party that had contracted to purchase land from another, with the agreement stipulating immediate transfer of ownership upon the final payment of the purchase price, sued the seller for damages after the seller unilaterally rescinded the sale, arguing the buyer had failed to make a required installment payment, while the buyer contended the seller had not provided the necessary documentation to enable the payment. The court rejected the buyer's claim for damages, reasoning that the buyer's failure to prove they had made a formal demand on the seller to provide the required documents before the unilateral rescission meant the buyer could not successfully claim the seller was in breach of their obligation to transfer ownership, thus justifying the seller's subsequent termination of the contract.
