Description
Plaintiffs filed a complaint for specific performance of an alleged agreement to sell real estate or in the alternative for damages. Defendant filed a section 45 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 110, par. 45) motion to dismiss on the grounds that the complaint failed to state a cause of action in that the pleadings failed to establish or evidence a valid and enforceable contract Page 460 between the parties; that no sufficient writing existed or could have existed since the parties never entered into a contractual agreement; and compliance with all conditions precedent had not been pleaded or evidenced by the plaintiffs. The trial court indicated that there was a sufficient written memorandum to justify a full hearing on whether or not there has been compliance with the Statute of Frauds. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 59, par. 2.) It held, however, that the contract could not be specifically enforced because there were too many elements missing and dismissed the complaint. We reverse and remand.
