Platt v. Butcher
California Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Solano County. A. J. Buckles, Judge. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtGaroutte, J.
This is an action by a real estate broker to recover commissions upon a sale of real estate. Judgment went against defendant, and he appeals. The contract of employment was in writing, and, by its terms, was to remain in full force and effect until September 1, 1885. A short time prior to that date, by paroi agreement, the time for performance was extended, and, during such extension of time, the broker found a purchaser for the land, and a sale was made. The merits of the present litigation are dependent solely upon the validity of the paroi agreement extending the time for performance.
