Frederick A. Morton, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant v. 4 Orchard Land Trust, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the summary judgment granting the defendant's motion, holding that no enforceable contract—written or oral—existed for the sale of the Orchard Court property. The court found that the broker‑prepared contract required signatures of both parties and that the defendant never signed, and that the plaintiff failed to produce clear and convincing evidence of an oral agreement. Consequently, the plaintiff's claim for specific performance was dismissed.
