New York Court of Appeals
Walter K. Willmott v. Rosa Giarraputo
March 5, 19595 N.Y.2d 250
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's decision that the option agreement was unenforceable because the essential terms of the purchase‑money mortgage were left for future negotiation, and therefore specific performance was denied. The court held that the Statute of Frauds was not satisfied.
