Opinion
November 27, 1961
In an action by the purchaser for specific performance of a contract to sell land, defendant appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, entered February 15, 1961 upon the decision of the court after a nonjury trial, awarding specific performance to the plaintiff. Judgment affirmed, with costs. Time was not of the essence in the contract in suit. While plaintiff in its complaint failed to allege the facts showing that it was in default on the date set forth in the contract for the passing of title and showing that such default was excusable and worked no harm on defendant, we amend the complaint to conform to the proof in these respects (Civ. Prac. Act, §§ 109, 434; Thorne Neale Co. v. New York So. Coal Term. Corp., 270 App. Div. 816, affd. 295 N.Y. 977). Beldock, Acting P.J., Ughetta, Christ, Pette and Brennan, JJ., concur. [ 29 Misc.2d 81.]
