Morrison v. Thoelke

The defendants signed a contract to buy land from the plaintiffs and mailed it to them; the plaintiffs signed and mailed the contract back, but before the defendants received it, the plaintiffs called and repudiated. The defendants nonetheless received and recorded the executed contract, and the plaintiffs sued to quiet title, with the defendants counterclaiming for specific performance; the trial court ruled for the plaintiffs, finding no contract had formed due to their repudiation, and the defendants appealed.
