1Opinion of the Court
LEVINE, Justice.
Layne A. Lindberg and Barbara J. Lind-berg (Lindbergs) appeal from a county court judgment awarding Bishop Ryan High School (Bishop Ryan) $3,149.19 in its action for recovery of earnest money. We reverse.
On September 2, 1983, the parties executed a written contract by which Lind-bergs would purchase a home, owned by Bishop Ryan, for $97,000, to be paid in full by January 1, 1984. The contract required the Lindbergs to execute a $5,000 promissory note payable to Bishop Ryan as earnest money. Shortly after signing the contract the Lindbergs occupied the house.
