Docket entry
050215 Davis v. Holsten 11/04/2005 In a dispute concerning the sale of a residence, the trial court correctly ruled that the substantial compliance principle of contract law did not apply to an escrow agreement obligating the seller to either accomplish, or cause to be accomplished, repairs that the buyers had specified in the agreement. The seller did not carry his burden of proof to show that he had strictly complied with the agreement and, therefore, did not establish that he was entitled to release of the escrowed funds. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
