Burke v. Thomas J. Fisher & Co.
Burke v. Thomas J. Fisher & Co.
Opinion of the Court
Anne Burke and River Road Development Corporation appeal from the District Court’s judgment which dismissed their complaint against Leo F. Donovan and Catherine J. Donovan for specific performance of a contract for the sale of real estate or, alternatively, for damages in the sum of $150,000. Thomas J. Fisher & Company, Inc., the real estate broker with which Burke and River Road had made a deposit of $5,000, appeals from the judgment, which in effect forfeited the deposit, and ordered it divided equally between the Fisher company and the Donovans.
We see no reason to disturb the judgment of the District Court.
