Exercise 16

Case Problem with Sample Answer-Contract Involving Interests in Land. Mohammad Salim offered to sell a convenience store and gas station to Talat Solaiman and Sabina Chowdhury. The prospective buyers drafted a "Purchase Agreement" that described its object as "the property and business known as BP Food Mart" at a specific address. The parties signed the agreement. Later, the buyers wanted out of the deal. Is the property description sufficient for the seller to enforce the agreement? Explain. [ Salim v. Solaiman, 302 Ga.App. 607, 691 S.E.2d 389 (2010)] (See Statute of Frauds-Writing Requirement.)
