Specific Performance of Contract to Sell Real Property

A building owner, obligated by a contract to sell the property, refused to sign the final deed, leading the purchaser to seek a judicial order compelling the sale. The court upheld the lower court's decision to grant the order, reasoning that the contractual commitment to sell, even without an explicit clause providing for the forced transfer of title, sufficiently established the necessary and sufficient legal grounds for judicial execution of the sale when one party defaults on their obligation to finalize the transfer.
