Court of Appeals of Minnesota March 31, 1992, C9-91-1918 (Jones v. Amoco Oil Co.)

OPINION

HARTEN, Judge.

Appellant Llewellyn K. Jones commenced this action seeking specific performance of a real estate contract or, in the alternative, damages for breach of contract. A jury returned a verdict in favor of Jones and awarded damages of $740,000. Because the trial court found Jones had not obtained suitable financing as required in the contract, it granted JNOV in favor of Amoco.
