Juneau v. Dethgens

The contract under which the Dethgens claim title imposes on them the obligation to pay $7,000. It provides that when the purchase price is “fully paid,” the deceased would convey title to them by warranty deed. The Dethgens never paid $7,000. They are not entitled to have the title vested in them until the balance due on the contract is paid, unless they are excused from making such payment by the provision quoted above. This makes necessary a consideration of the nature and character of this provision of the contract.

By its terms this provision is not to become effective for any purpose…
