• holding that because the contracting parties “omitted words from the contract modifying the degree of default needed,” the court would not “affix words of qualification or measure to it, such as substantial or material”
• whether plaintiffs breach of real estate sales contract was material was irrelevant to whether plaintiff could obtain specific performance when terms of contract disqualified a breaching party from obtaining that remedy
• “In short, the parties omitted words from the contract modifying the degree of default needed. Because they did, we may not now incorporate them into the agreement and thereby change it.”
• “[Because the plain meaning of the word [“default”] connotes a mere failure, omission, or breach .... we eschew attempt to affix words of qualification or measure to it, such as substantial or material.” (footnote omitted)
