TITLE 13 CONTRACTS

Section 5. Defenses, 13-5-1 through 13-5-31.

ARTICLE 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS

13-5-10. Failure to perform dependent covenant.

Where covenants are dependent, the failure of performance by the opposing party may be a good defense.

(Orig. Code 1863, § 2799; Code 1868, § 2807; Code 1873, § 2858; Code 1882, § 2858; Civil Code 1895, § 3709; Civil Code 1910, § 4303; Code 1933, § 20-904.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Covenants of grantor to make deed, and of grantee to pay the money, are mutual and dependent covenants, and action lies in favor of grantor for money or grantor's offer to perform, and grantee thereupon failing or refusing to pay money. Booth v. Saffold, 46 Ga. 278 (1872).

Trial court erred in setting aside consent decree.

- Trial court erred in finding that a consent judgment was void due to impossibility of performance or lack of mutuality and in denying the sellers' motion for judgment instanter on the consent judgment because the purchasers accepted the risk that the purchasers would be unable to complete the road on time per the agreement and set up an alternative method of compliance, namely, the payment of money to the sellers. Kothari v. Tessfaye, 318 Ga. App. 289, 733 S.E.2d 815 (2012).
