Kaiman Realty Inc. v. Carmichael

In Jenkins, which involved an action by the sellers seeking to cancel certain agreements of sale and for damages, the defendant purchasers framed the primary question on appeal as follows: "Does the State of Hawaii follow the traditional rule providing for strict forfeiture of a vendees rights for a delay in making installment payments under an installment land sales contract, or does the State of Hawaii follow the modern, and majority, rule providing for a balancing of the equities before granting either cancellation in favor of the vendor, or specific performance in favor of the vendee?" In Jenkins, this court opted for the more equitable rule.
