445 F.2d 316
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
Emmett E. Doherty and Mary Ellen Doherty, Husband and Wife v. Louis F. Coniglio
Opinion
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
We agree with the district court that the escrow instructions signed by the parties constituted a binding obligation ab initio to sell and to buy.
It is our view that until March 4, 1968, the buyers could have terminated the contract by a refusal to approve the “restrictions,” using the reasons they ultimately used. But they did it too late when they disapproved on March 18, 1968.
