Book Description

Excerpt from The Equitable Relations of Buyer and Seller of Land Under Contract and Before Conveyance: Two Lectures Before the Law Academy of Philadelphia Contracts for the sale of real property differ from other contracts, chiefly from two causes. One is the Statute of Frauds, requiring a writing signed by the party, or his authorized agent, to bind the bargain. The other is to be found in the peculiar doctrines of the Courts of Equity, according to which they have been accustomed to enforce or refuse specific perform ance of such Contracts by the parties bound by them. Of the Statute of Frauds I shall have something to say presently. Let me direct your attention for a few minutes, by way of introduction, to the general principles of specific performance.
