General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Gutierrez Del Arroyo v. Graham, 227 U.S. 181 (1913)
Gutierrez del Arroyo v. Graham No. 129 Submitted January 21, 1913 Decided February 3, 1913 227 U.S. 181
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT
OF THE UNITED STATES FOR PORTO RICO
Syllabus
Held that the instrument involved in this case was an actual contract for purchase and sale of the land described therein, and not merely an option which expired at the time specified therein.
Accepting a lease of property described in a contract for sale thereof does not amount to an estoppel against enforcing the contract if the instrument recognizes an outstanding dispute and provides that rights on either side shall not be affected.
The facts, which involve the construction of a contract for sale of real estate in Porto Rico, are stated in the opinion.
