Lindoar v. Ringle

Israel Supreme Court
CA 2454/98, 65(1) PD 225 (2001)

Facts

Eliahu Lindoar (plaintiff) and Jacob Ringle (defendant) entered into a contract, under which Ringle agreed to purchase several million shares of a company for approximately $740,000. Under the terms of the contract, the price was to be paid in three installments, with the first installment made the day the contract was signed and the remaining two payments on later dates. Ringle paid the first installment but failed to make the next two payments. The contract specifically provided that in the event Ringle failed to pay the second or third installment, Ringle had to return the shares to Lindoar and forfeit the amount already paid in the first installment. The contract also stated that Lindoar was free to file a complaint for any relief and damages for the injury sustained by Ringle’s failure to pay. Lindoar sued Ringle for specific performance of the contract, seeking to have Ringle fulfill his obligations and pay the second and third installments. The district court dismissed Lindoar’s claim for specific performance, and Lindoar appealed.
