Saine v. Clark

In 1962, appellant Saine leased certain real estate to the appellee Clark for 6 years with an option which entitled the lessee to purchase the property at the termination of the lease, provided the lessee was not in default under any of the provisions of the lease. The appellee sought to exercise the option at the end of the lease term and tendered the stated purchase price to the appellant. When appellant refused, appellee subsequently brought an action to have the purchase option agreement specifically performed. From a jury verdict and judgment ordering specific performance of the option the appellant brings this appeal.
