                                  CONTRACTS



 CHAPTER 10.   CONDITIONS; AND BREACH OF PROMISE AS AN EXCUSE FOR FAILURE
                            TO PERFORM A RETURN PROMISE

                            TOPIC 2.   EXPRESS   CONDITIONS

§ 265. Promises Conditional on Promisor's Satisfaction

Okl.App.2017. Com.  (a) quot. in sup. Seller of real property sued buyer, alleging that buyer invalidly
attempted to terminate the parties' contract based on its inability to reach a satisfactory agreement with
certain pipeline companies to relocate pipelines under the property. The trial court granted summary
judgment for buyer, finding that buyer's termination notice was valid under a contract provision that
gave buyer the right to terminate the contract at its sole discretion if it could not reach a satisfactory
agreement with the pipeline companies. Reversing and remanding, this court held that the
reasonableness of buyer's dissatisfaction with the results of its negotiations with the pipeline companies
was not supported by the evidence. The court pointed out that, under Restatement of Contracts § 265,
buyer's expression of dissatisfaction with its negotiation with the pipeline companies was not
conclusive. Group One Realty, Inc. v. Dahr Properties-memorial Springs, LLC, 404 P.3d 905, 909.



     TOPIC  3. CONSTRUCTIVE CONDITIONS AND FAILURE OF CONSIDERATION IN
                         PROMISES FOR AN AGREED EXCHANGE

§ 275. Rules for Determining Materiality of a Failure to Perform

Ind.App.2017. Cit. in case cit. in sup., cit. in ftn., cit. in case cit. in ftn. Landlord filed a motion for
eviction against tenant, alleging that tenant breached her lease agreement by painting interior walls and
changing a door lock; tenant counterclaimed, seeking, inter alia, specific performance of the option to
purchase the rental property that she had exercised according to the parties' option agreement. The trial
court denied plaintiff s motion for eviction and granted defendant's request for specific performance.
This court affirmed, holding that defendant exercised her option to purchase the property before she had
received any notice of her failure to perform under the lease or any event of her default, and that she did
not materially breach the lease. The court relied on caselaw that cited Restatement of Contracts § 275,
noting that the factors set forth in this section were similar to those factors set forth in Restatement
Second of Contracts § 241, which had been applied by Indiana courts in determining if there was a
material breach. King v. Conley, 87 N.E.3d 1146, 1155.



      TOPIC  5. WHEN   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT ARE EXCUSED AND CONDITIONS
                               SUBSEQUENT INOPERATIVE

§ 295. Excuse of Condition by Prevention or Hindrance
