How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the words “on or about” in a contract “do not, as to time, mean ‘exactly,’ but ‘approximately,’ and as so construed grant a reasonable time for performance after the date mentioned”
• “[A] recission is not warranted where the breach is not substantial and does not defeat the objects of the parties.”
• where new house was to be completed “on or about May 15,” it was enough that contract was substantially performed by June 30, though it said “Time is of the essence of this contract.”
• the word “approximately” connotes a reasonable period of time under the circumstances
