Question:

Douglas and Sandy Glosson offered to sell 36 acres that included a truck shop, warehouse, and office. Douglas Glosson and Parker agreed on terms and signed the agreement. Sandy Glosson did not sign and the deal fell through. Parker sued for breach of contract. He requested specific performance-an order to sell the property-or damages.
The trial court dismissed the suit. Parker appealed.

1. The appeals court held that no contract ever came into existence, so there could be no breach of contract. Why was Douglas Glosson's signature not enough?
2. The parties apparently did agree to all relevant terms, but then Sandy Glosson backed out. Should she have the right to do that after agreeing?
