The Grondas, who owned a party store along with land, fixtures, equipment, and a liquor license, entered into a contract to sell their liquor license and fixtures to Harbor Park Market in an agreement that was expressly conditioned on approval by the Grondas' attorney. The Grondas submitted the contract to their attorney but before the attorney had approved it, they received a second, better offer and submitted that contract to the attorney as well. The attorney reviewed both agreements and approved the second one. Harbor Park Market sued the Grondas for breach of contract. Will their suit succeed?

Answer:

No the suit will not succeed as their is no agreement

Step-by-step explanation:

The contract was conditional contract. As the condition explicitly said that, the right to agree on terms and conditions is explicitly attorney's right. When the attorney has not agreed on the terms and conditions of Harbor Park, the company hasn't formed any contract. Furthermore, there is no limitation on Grondas to consider other available options and attorney is also not obliged to agree to Harbor's offer.

Thus the suit that says Grondas has breached the contract is meaningless and will not succeed in the court.
