Contracts : Dealership Sale – Specific Performance
Stephanie Maniscalco//April 27, 2018//
Where buyers challenged a verdict in favor of sellers in a dispute over a contract for the sale of an automotive dealership, the judgment is reversed and remanded because the buyers made a submissible case for declaratory relief and specific performance since the control of the dealership was a rare opportunity and they could not be made whole by monetary damages
Judgment is reversed and remanded.
