• Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
• Decided: December 30, 1992
• Status: Published

Opinion

Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly granted summary judgment to plaintiffs. The agreement for the sale of the laundromat business to plaintiffs provides: "Contract subject to assuming or negotiating lease acceptable to purchasers.” The record establishes that plaintiffs were unable to assume or negotiate a lease acceptable to them. Therefore, plaintiffs are entitled to the return of their deposit
