But even here, if the buyer and seller are dealers ("flippers"), then money damages could be awarded.My reading of the Lawler decision is that while the trial court found the Plaintiff had proven his case and did in fact award specific performance, the appeals court disagreed and found the buyer/plaintiff did not allege and did not prove he was ready willing and able to close (an essential element of seeking to enforce the contract) and therefore was not entitle to specific performance.
