Lee Bros. v. Bewley-Darst Coal Co.

97 S.E. 99, 22 Ga. App. 693, 1918 Ga. App. LEXIS 689

Opinion

Luke, J.

1. Where an executory contract for the sale of goods provides for the- delivery of the goods on order during a certain period, time is of the essence of the contract, and a failure to order delivery during -that period, terminates the right to order shipment of the goods. Bearden Mercantile Co. v. Madison Oil Co., 128 Ga. 605. (58 S. E. 200); Caddick Milling Co. v. Moultrie Grocery Co., 22 Ga. App. 524 (96 S. E. 583). See Gude v. Bailey Co., 4 Ga. App. 226 (61 S. E. 135).

2. The evidence demanded a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. It was not error, for any reason assigned, to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Wade, O. J., and Jenkins, J.-, concur.
