Narrative Opinion Summary
In the case concerning specific performance of a real property contract, the defendant's appeal against a Supreme Court order denying its motion for summary judgment is affirmed. The court held that the contract did not violate the Statute of Frauds, as it was written, included consideration prior to June 30, 1996, and was signed by the relevant party. Although the contract did not specify a purchase price for sales occurring after that date, the plaintiff presented sufficient evidence suggesting that the defendant may have intentionally obstructed the necessary subdivision approval, hindering the plaintiff's ability to finalize the transaction on time. As a result, the denial of the defendant's summary judgment motion was justified, and the additional arguments raised by the defendant were deemed meritless.
