T.D. Dennis Builder Inc. v. Goff

Appellees, henceforth called plaintiffs, brought this action alleging that they and the appellant, henceforth referred to as defendant had entered into a contract and that the defendant had breached it, thus subjecting itself to a forfeiture of its earnest money. In the alternative, plaintiff alleged that there never was a meeting of the minds between the parties, that no contract existed, and thus the parties should be restored to their original positions. The defendant answered denying all the allegations, and counterclaimed, alleging that the plaintiff had breached the contract and was thus liable in damages.
