Lillian Casriel, Complainants-Respondents v. Lila W. King, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the decree of specific performance of a land and hotel sale, holding that the contract clause did not warrant a guarantee that recorded covenants were unviolated and that the liquor‑sale covenant had been abandoned, so the vendee assumed the risk. The court based its decision on the parties' intent as discerned from the contract language and surrounding circumstances.
