Having thus accepted the chancellor's findings that there was no legal tender of performance by the plaintiff on or before the due date of the contract, there would be little point in discussing the other questions presented by the appellant, since if all that he alleges were true (which we do not decide), if he still failed without sufficient legal justification to make a legal tender of performance before the due date of the contract, he was in default and thus was not entitled to specific performance. See, generally, McClure v. Meyer Corporation, 254 Mich. 686 and Walters v. Durbin, 276 Mich. 580. The decree of the trial court is affirmed, with costs to appellee.
One who seeks specific performance must do so with such reasonable promptness as the circumstances of the case require. Van Buren v. Stocking, 86 Mich. 246. Specific performance is, in a large measure, a discretionary, equitable remedy — a matter of grace, not of absolute right. Colonial Theatrical Enterprises v. Sage, 255 Mich. 160, 172; Walters v. Durbin, 276 Mich. 580; Higbie v. Chase, 306 Mich. 577. Specific performance will or will not be decreed by a court of equity depending on whether or not equity will be accomplished under the peculiar circumstances of the particular case. Snider v. Schaffer, 276 Mich. 92.
