McNAMARA, J., concurs. Mr. SIMON, PRESIDING dissenting: JUSTICE My view is that Kenilworth did not have a ready, willing and able at any time prior to March when Sandquist terminated Kenilworth’s agency. 1,1974, Because the February offer was contingent prospective a mortgage, obtaining only proposal without for option purchase. consideration an Had offer, accepted Triangle Builders up would have tied days without any reciprocal obligation Sandquist.
