Essay

Dubious and Able were partners in DUC (Dubious Used Cars). Dubious, the managing partner, signed a contract with Buyer for the sale to Buyer of a small parcel of land belonging to the partnership. Except for the last twenty feet, which was necessary for the driveway, the parcel was not used by the partnership. The agreement stated that it was between Buyer and DUC, with Dubious signing for the partnership. Dubious claimed that he told Buyer before signing that a plat plan would have to be approved by Able before the sale. Buyer denied this and sued for specific performance.
