New York Court of Appeals

Louisa Lawrence, Appellant v. Ira Miller, Respondent

October 4, 188186 N.Y. 131

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court, holding that the vendor's readiness to deliver the deed satisfied the tender requirement, that a parol agreement fixing a performance date does not alter a sealed contract, and that the vendor may retain the $2,000 deposit because the vendee breached.
