In April 2011, Elias Groisman entered into a contract with Shabsi Pfeifer to sell three real properties to Pfeifer on the condition that Pfeifer satisfied two liens on the properties against Groisman’s name and upon payment of $55,000. The e-mail which contained the offer did not have an end date by which Pfeifer had to complete performance. More than six months later, Groisman entered a contract of sale for the three properties with Maya Development, LLC. In December 2012, Pfeifer filed a complaint against Groisman and Maya Development, seeking specific performance of the contract for the sale of real properties. The trial court dismissed the case and Pfeifer appealed to the New York Appellate Division Supreme Court. Did Groisman and Pfeifer enter into a valid contract on April 2011? What kind of agreement did both parties have instead? Based on your answers to the previous answers, who won the court case? Why? [Shabsi Pfeifer v. Elias A. Groisman, et al., 997 N. Y.S.2d 706 (N. Y. App. Div. 2014).]
