1 Citing case

  1. Milliman v. Peterman

    519 So. 2d 238 (La. Ct. App. 1988)   Cited 6 times

    In the case before us, appellants signed the actual agreement to purchase on August 19, 1985. That same day, the real estate agent contacted Mr. Milliman by phone, and, the very next day, several hours before the offer was to expire, the Millimans sent a telegram (contents reproduced supra) with their names typed out at the bottom. Appellants cite Morvant v. Arnoult, 490 So.2d 549 (La.App. 4 Cir. 1986) and Rebman v. Reed, 335 So.2d 37 (La.App. 4 Cir. 1976), Writ denied 338 So.2d 699 (La. 1976) for the legal principle that "A contract to sell immovable property, to be enforceable, must be in writing and must be signed by the buyer and seller, and if an agent executes the contract on behalf of the buyer or the seller, the agent's authority must be express and in writing."
