Edwards v. McTyre

Bowles, Justice.

Barbara Lee Edwards, appellant, entered into a written contract to purchase real property from Richard A. McTyre, appellee. The contract specified that the closing date was to be August 1,1979 and further that time was of the essence. The closing did not take place as scheduled and two weeks later, appellee wrote to appellant telling her the deal was off. Appellant thereupon brought suit against appellee seeking specific performance of the sales contract and seeking damages for fraud. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of appellee and this appeal followed.
