Legislator summary

AI generated

The court held that a contract of sale promise is formally perfect when executed as a written document signed by the parties, specifying the price, property, and including a deposit. The opposing party argued against the document's validity, but the court found no legal defect in its structure. Consequently, the document's probative force can only be rebutted by other written evidence or by confession.
