Contract Law Appellate Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC47415 - SMDV 1, LLC v. 459-461 Pacific Street, LLC (“This appeal arises from an action brought by the plaintiff, SMDV 1, LLC, against the defendants, 459-461 Pacific Street, LLC (Pacific Street), and Frank Steinegger, related to Pacific Street’s notice of termination of a contract for the sale and purchase of real property known as 459-461 Pacific Street in Stamford (property). The dispositive issue in this appeal is whether the trial court correctly determined that the contract was rendered unenforceable by the termination of a separate ground lease and purchase agreement between two different entities. After our review of the language of the contract, we conclude that the trial court’s determination cannot stand. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of the defendants following a court trial and remand this case for further proceedings.”)
