Old Ladies Home Assn. v. Hall

Ethridge, C.

The interpretation of a contract to devise real property in return for personal services and expenditures is here involved. Also these questions arise: Whether the bill of complaint charged a positive and unconditional re pudiation by the promisor; and if so, whether the anticipatory repudiation of such contract by the promisor, after performance had begun, started the statute of limitations running, or, where the promisee elected to consider the contract still alive and waited'until the promisor’s death, whether the limitation period began running at that time.
