La Salle National Bank v. Vega

La Salle (plaintiff) and Vega (defendant) negotiated a real-estate rider requiring La Salle's agent to execute the contract and present it to Vega, Vega to execute it and present it to La Salle's trustees, and only the trustees' execution would make the contract enforceable; the agent and Vega both executed as required, but La Salle's trustees never did. La Salle sued for specific performance, and a competing buyer Borg intervened, seeking performance of its own separate contract for the same land; the trial court granted Borg partial summary judgment, finding the La Salle-Vega contract unenforceable.
